Item 7. Financial Statements, Proforma Financial Information and Exhibits

   (a)    Financial Statements of Business Acquired

   The audited financial statements for Diverse GP III ("DGP III"), a Texas
general partnership of which an undivided 15% interest is the sole asset of SMC
Production Co., formerly named Diverse Production Co. ("DPC"), are filed as a
part of the originally filed Form 8-K dated April 6, 1995.  The Registrant
considers its purchase of DPC to be an acquisition of DPC's 15% investment in
DGP III.  DPC's other assets and operations were sold or otherwise disposed of
before the Registrant's April 6, 1995 acquisition of DPC.  Because such other
assets and operations are not relevant to the interests acquired by the
Registrant, historical financial information for DPC is not included herein.
The Registrant is not aware of any other DPC assets, liabilities, or contingent
liabilities other than the 15% investment in DGP III.

   (b)    Pro Forma Financial Information

   On April 6, 1995, the Registrant consummated the transactions contemplated
by an Exchange Agreement executed March 2, 1995 by and among DPC, the
shareholders of DPC and the Registrant (the "Agreement").  DPC's sole asset is
its investment in 15% of DGP III, which is engaged in the acquisition,
exploitation and production of oil and gas reserves.  Before April 6, 1995, DPC
and DGP III had the same beneficial owners.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the
Registrant issued 2,193,919 shares of its common stock and granted options for
the purchase of 325,000 of its common stock to the DPC shareholders in exchange
for all of DPC's capital stock.  The stock options granted under the Agreement
are exercisable at any time before April 7, 2000 at a purchase price of $1.25
per share.  The Registrant will account for this acquisition as a purchase and
record the transaction at a purchase price of $1.00 per share, the average
trade price of a share of the Registrant's common stock as reported on the
NASDAQ SmallCap Market during the period March 30, 1995 to April 13, 1995.

   The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,
1995 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the twelve months and three months ended December 31, 1994 and
March 31, 1995, respectively, are consolidations of such statements of the
Registrant and DPC under the assumptions set forth below in the accompanying
notes and are subject to change.  In addition, the Registrant considers its
purchase of DPC to be an acquisition of DPC's 15% investment in DGP III.  DPC
sold or otherwise disposed of its other assets and operations before the April
6, 1995 consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
Because such other assets and operations are not relevant to the interests
acquired by the Registrant, such financial information for DPC is not included
herein.  The Registrant is not aware of any other DPC assets, liabilities, or
contingent liabilities other than the 15% investment in DGP III.

   The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,
1995 presents the acquisition of DPC as if it had occurred at March 31, 1995,
while the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1994 and three months ended March 31, 1995
present the transaction as if it had occurred at January 1, 1994.

   The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the separate financial statements and notes thereto of DGP III included in
the Registrant's originally filed report on Form 8-K dated April 6, 1995 and
the Registrant's financial statements and notes thereto included in its
previously filed Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 and Form
10-QSB for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The unaudited pro forma
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position
or results of operations of the consolidated companies that might have occurred
or as it may be in the future.

        Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                  for the Balance Sheet As of March 31, 1995,
             for the Statement of Operations for the Twelve Months
               Ended December 31, 1994 and for the Statement of
             Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1995
                                  (Unaudited)

Note 1:   The sole asset of SMC Production Co., formerly named Diverse
          Production Co. ("DPC") is its undivided 15% interest in Diverse GP
          III ("DGP III"), a Texas general partnership engaged in the
          acquisition, exploitation and production of oil and gas reserves.
          The financial statements of DPC presented herein have been compiled
          based on its 15% investment in DGP III.

Note 2:   Reflects shares issued by Registrant for all of the outstanding
          capital stock of DPC.

Note 3:   Reflects additional acquisition costs incurred by Registrant for DPC.
          The Registrant had recorded approximately $78,000 of such costs in
          its March 31, 1995 balance sheet.

Note 4:   To eliminate DPC's equity.

Note 5:   To record the increase in depletion and depreciation expense as a
          result of the increase in the carrying value of property and
          equipment attributable to the investment in DGP III.

Note 6:   For the pro forma results of the twelve months ended December 31,
          1994 and of the three months ended March 31, 1995 the income tax
          benefit was limited by the Registrant's inability to recognize all of
          the tax benefits of its net operating loss ("NOL") and future
          deductible temporary differences in the calculation of its tax
          expense under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.
          However, these amounts are expected to be available to reduce future
          tax liabilities in years in which the Registrant has taxable
          earnings.  As reported in its Form 10-K for the year ended December
          31, 1994, the Registrant estimated that for Federal tax purposes, it
          had NOL carryforwards of approximately $1,987,000 which are available
          to offset future Federal taxable income through 2010.  If the DPC
          acquisition had occurred at January 1, 1994, the Registrant estimates
          that its NOL carryforward for Federal tax purposes at March 31, 1995
          would approximate $1,460,000.

Note 7:   Sales of oil and gas hydrocarbons are the Registrant's principal
          source of revenues and cash flows.  Future sales of such products are
          dependent on the Registrant's ownership of currently producing oil
          and gas reserves and its primary business activity, which is the
          acquisition, exploitation and production of oil and gas reserves.
          Registrant's acquisition of a 15% interest in DGP III through its
          acquisition of DPC has significantly increased the Registrant's
          proven reserves.  The table below sets out the Registrant's proven
          reserve quantities and standardized measure of discounted future net
          cash flows as if the acquisition of DPC had occurred effective
          December 31, 1994 and has been prepared using the information
          contained in Note 7 of the notes to the financial statements of
