                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and
financial position for the interim periods have been included.  The results of
operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year or any other interim period.
These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with Amerac
Energy Corporation's (the "Company") annual report for the year ended December
31, 1996.

    Earnings per share and weighted average common shares outstanding for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, have been retroactively restated
to reflect the one for fifteen reverse Common Stock split approved by the
Company's stockholders in November 1996.

    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.


2.  IMPAIRMENTS

    The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil
and gas operations, as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 19 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  Under the
successful efforts method, costs of productive wells, development dry holes and
productive leases are capitalized and amortized on a unit-of-production basis
over the life of remaining proved reserves.  Costs centers for amortization
purposes are determined on a field-by-field basis.

    Prior to January 1, 1996, capitalized costs of proved properties were
reviewed for impairment on a field-by-field basis limiting capitalized costs to
estimated future net revenues from proved properties, assuming current prices
and costs.  Commencing January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of".  Pursuant to SFAS 121, the Company assesses the need for an
impairment of capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties on a field-by-
field basis utilizing undiscounted expected future cash flows.  If an impairment
is indicated, the amount of such impairment is recognized to the extent that the
net capitalized costs of the proved oil and gas properties exceeds the fair
market value so determined.

    Based on such an assessment, the Company has recorded a Provision for
impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 of $2,269,000. This
provision primarily was attributable to the $534,000 non-cash write off in the
second quarter of 1997 of the Company's Sacatosa project and a $1,523,000 non-
cash write-down of the Company's Blackwell/RQS field in the third quarter of
1997.

4.  CONTINGENCIES
 
    The Company has a reserve established for the estimated costs associated
with platform abandonment at its South Timbalier 198 property. At September 30,
1997, the reserve for such abandonment was $454,000, compared with $389,000 at
December 31, 1996. Such amounts are included in Accumulated Depreciation,
Depletion and Amortization.

    The Company is subject to various possible contingencies which arise
primarily from interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations
affecting the oil and gas industry. Such contingencies include differing
interpretations as to the prices at which oil and gas sales may be made, the
prices at which royalty owners may be paid for production from their leases and
other matters. Although management believes it has complied with the various
laws and regulations, administrative rulings and interpretations thereof,
adjustment could be required as new interpretations and regulations are issued.
In addition, production rates, marketing and environmental matters are subject
to regulation by various federal and state agencies.

    The Company is not currently a party to any litigation which would have a
material impact on its financial statements.  However, due to the nature of its
business, certain legal or administrative proceedings may arise in the ordinary
course of its business.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                        

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997, Compared With Three Months Ended
September 30, 1996

  The Company reported a loss of $2,046,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997, compared with net income of $385,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996.  This loss primarily was attributable to a $1,523,000 non-
cash impairment of the Blackwell/RQS field and, to a lesser extent, to lower
revenues for both oil and natural gas and to generally higher expenses.

  Oil and gas revenues decreased from approximately $2.6 million during the
third quarter of 1996 to approximately $1.9 million during the third quarter of
1997, primarily due to lower volumes and lower realized prices.  The decline in
production volumes was due primarily to lower natural gas production at the
Company's South Timbalier 198.  The primary well at South Timbalier began to
produce water during December of 1996, and net production declined from
approximately 382,200 thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas during the
third quarter of 1996 to approximately 259,300 Mcf of natural gas during the
third quarter of 1997.

  During the third quarter of 1997, the Company's net production was
approximately 40,000 barrels ("Bbls") of oil and 566,600 Mcf of natural gas,
compared with approximately 48,800 Bbls of oil and 649,200 Mcf of natural gas
produced during the third quarter of 1996.

  The Company's average realized prices during the third quarter of 1997 were
$17.23 per Bbl of oil and $2.12 per Mcf of natural gas.  During the three months
ended September 30, 1996, the Company's realized prices for oil and natural gas
were $20.42 per Bbl and $2.37 per Mcf, respectively.

  Lease operating expense increased from $597,000 in the third quarter of 1996
to $658,000 in the third quarter of 1997.  This increase is attributable to
higher lease operating expense per unit of production and to workovers of
approximately $55,000 incurred in the third quarter of 1997.

  Provision for impairments for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$1,573,000, compared with no provision for the comparable period of 1996.  This
provision was essentially attributable to a $1,523,000 non-cash write-down of
the Company's Blackwell/RQS field, resulting from unsuccessful or marginal
drilling activity in the field and the subsequent downward evaluation of the
field's reserves.

  Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense increased from
approximately $699,000 during the third quarter of 1996 to approximately
$733,000 during the third quarter of 1997.  This increase was due primarily to a
revision in the DD&A rate in the third quarter of 1997 and to additional
investments in oil and gas properties made subsequent to the third quarter of
1996.

  General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $627,000 in
the third quarter of 1996 to approximately $761,000 in the third quarter of
1997, primarily as a result of increased staffing due to property acquisitions
made in 1996.  This increase was partially offset by overhead billed by the
Company to other working interest owners and reimbursement of general and
administrative costs by certain of the Company's joint interest partners.

  Interest expense decreased from approximately $245,000 in the third quarter of
1996 to approximately $183,000 in the third quarter of 1997, primarily as a
result of lower levels of bank debt outstanding during the third quarter of
1997.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997, Compared With Nine Months Ended September
30, 1996

  The Company reported a net loss of $2,356,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, compared with net income of $1,883,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. This nine month loss was attributable primarily to an
aggregate of $2,980,000 of increases in expenses comprised of increases in:
Provision for impairments ($2,269,000); Exploration expenses ($285,000),
primarily geological and geophysical; and workovers, a component of Lease
operating expense, ($426,000).

  Oil and gas revenues decreased from approximately $7.4 million for the nine
months ended September  30, 1996 to approximately $7.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997.  This decrease was primarily the result of
lower production due to production declines in various of the Company's
properties, which was partially offset by production from properties acquired
during the third quarter of 1996.

  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's net production
was approximately 140,900 Bbls of oil and 1,898,900 Mcf of natural gas.  During
the comparable period of 1996, the Company's net production was approximately
142,000 Bbls of oil and 2,102,400 Mcf of natural gas.

  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's average
realized price for oil was $19.76 per Bbl and for natural gas was $2.33 per Mcf,
compared with prices during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $19.96
per Bbl of oil and $2.37 per Mcf of natural gas.

  Lease operating expense increased from approximately $1.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to approximately $2.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997.  This increase primarily is attributable to
approximately $426,000 of workover expense incurred in the 1997 period, compared
with less than $1,000 of workover expense incurred during the comparable period
of 1996.  Additionally, higher lease operating expense resulted from costs
incurred in operating oil and gas properties acquired during the third quarter
of 1996.

  Exploratory costs increased from approximately $29,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 to approximately $314,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.  This increase primarily was attributable to increases in
geological and geophysical costs incurred in connection with the Company's
prospect development activities in the Easter Shelf of the Permian Basin.

  Provision for impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$2,269,000, compared with no provision during the comparable period of 1996.
This provision was attributable primarily to the $534,000 non-cash write-off in
the second quarter of 1997 of the Company's Sacatosa project and to a $1,523,000
non-cash write-down of the Company's Blackwell/RQS field in the third quarter of
1997.

  DD&A expense for the  nine months ended September 30, 1997 was approximately
$2.1 million, exceeding the approximate $1.7 million reported for the comparable
period in 1996. This increase was due primarily to a revision in the DD&A rate
in the third quarter of 1997 and to additional investments in oil and gas
properties made subsequent to the third quarter of 1996.

  General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $1.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to approximately $2.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  This increase was primarily
attributable to increased salaries and benefits expense due to the hiring of
additional employees subsequent to the third quarter of 1996; costs incurred in
connection with listing of its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange; and
the preparation of a "shelf" registration statement, as required by agreements
with certain stockholders.  These increases were partially offset by overhead
billed by the Company to other working interest owners/partners.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



  Interest expense decreased from approximately $662,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 to approximately $510,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of lower levels of bank debt
outstanding during the comparable 1997 period.

DRILLING AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

  In September 1997, the Company announced that it had revised upward its proved
undeveloped reserves in the Golden Trend Field in Garvin County, Oklahoma with
the identification of ten additional proved undeveloped drilling locations in
the field.  The gross drilling and completion cost per well is approximately
$700,000, and if all ten wells are drilled and completed, the Company's
estimated share of the aggregate drilling and completion costs would be
approximately $5.8 million.  The Company has not yet formalized a timetable for
drilling these proved undeveloped locations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  During the first nine months of 1997, the Company generated cash flow from
operations of approximately $1.7 million and had net borrowings of $125,000,
which were used primarily to fund its exploration and development drilling
activities.  At the end of the third quarter of 1997, the Company had
outstanding debt of approximately $7.8 million under its bank credit facility.
Effective August 1, 1997, the Company's borrowing base was increased to $10.5
million, which decreases $250,000 on the first day of each month, commencing
September 1, 1997.  The Company's borrowing base at September 30, 1997 was
approximately $10.2 million, providing available borrowing capacity of
approximately $2.4 million.  At November 14, 1997, the Company's borrowing base
was approximately $9.8 million, which with bank debt of $8.3 million provided
the Company with borrowing capacity of approximately $1.5 million.


  The Company's working capital position at September 30, 1997 was $357,000,
down from approximately $1.5 million of working capital reported at December 31,
1996.  Working capital at June 30, 1997 was approximately $1.6 million.  The
decline primarily was attributable to a reclassification of $579,000 in long-
term debt to current maturities during the third quarter of 1997 and to the
reduction of cash to pay for the Company's drilling and other development
activities.  The Company expects to further draw on its working capital which,
together with additional bank borrowing, will be used to fund the Company's
participation in drilling and other development activities anticipated during
the fourth quarter of 1997.  The Company believes it has sufficient borrowing
capacity, together with internally generated cash flow, to fund its fourth
quarter drilling and other development plans.

  In early 1998, the Company anticipates it will need additional funds to
augment internally generated cash flow to fund its operations and capital
spending plans.  The Company may seek to raise such additional funds through
supplemental bank borrowing, mezzanine financing, sale of production payments or
equity offerings, or some combination of the foregoing, or through a merger with
an adequately capitalized merger partner.  However, there is no assurance the
Company will be successful in obtaining any such additional financing or in
consummating any such merger.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

  In September, the Company announced that pursuant to a previously announced
plan to consider alternatives for maximizing shareholder value, its Board of
Directors authorized and had initiated discussions with a select group of
companies regarding a possible strategic merger or similar business combination.
The Company's financial advisor recommended this course of action as a result of
their analysis of the various options available to the Company.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").  SFAS
128 requires dual presentation of "basic earnings per share" and "diluted
earnings per share" on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
SFAS 128 will be effective for fiscal yearend reporting and requires restatement
of all prior period earnings per share data presented.  The impact of adopting
this statement in not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
earnings per share.
