Note: There were no prohibited party-in-interest transactions, no leases,
and no loans or fixed income obligations in default or classified as
uncollectible during the year ended December 31, 1996. A schedule of
investment assets which were both acquired and disposed of within the

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Trustees
Flores & Rucks, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits with fund information of the Flores & Rucks, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits with fund information for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the representation
of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Flores &
Rucks, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Flores & Rucks, Inc. ("Company")
401(k) Savings Plan ("Plan") provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.
GENERAL. The Plan was established September 1, 1993. The Plan is a
defined contribution plan covering all full time employees who have
six months of service and are age twenty one or older. It is subject
to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA).
CONTRIBUTIONS. Each year, participants may contribute from a minimum
of 2% up to a maximum of 15% of pretax annual compensation, as defined
in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing
distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution
plans. The Company may contribute to the Plan an amount to be
determined annually by the Board of Directors (discretionary profit
sharing contribution). Under the 401(k) provisions, the Company may
also make a matching contribution not to exceed 5% of participants'
compensation.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS. Each participant's account is credited with the
participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's
contribution and, (b) Plan earnings. Allocations are based on
participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to
which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
from the participant's vested account.
VESTING. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions,
plus actual earnings thereon. Participants also vest in the Company's
matching and discretionary contribution portion of their accounts plus
actual earnings thereon based on a five year schedule as outlined in
the Plan's trust document. A participant is 100 percent vested after
five years of credited service.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS. Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may
direct employee and employer contributions in percentage increments
in any of eighteen investment funds.
Investments held by Principal Financial Group are as follows.
The Guaranteed Interest Account. A part of Principal Mutual
Life's General Account. The underlying assets in the General
Account are invested mostly in private placement bonds,
commercial mortgages, and residential mortgages. The Guaranteed
Interest Account provides a guaranteed interest rate for a
specified period of time as determined, or allowed, by the Plan.
Money Market Account. A pooled investment account which invests
in money market instruments.

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS. For termination of service due to death,
retirement or other reasons, a participant may receive the value of
the vested interest in his or her account as a lump sum distribution.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Costs of Plan administration are paid by the
Company.
PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE. Participants may borrow from their fund
accounts a minimum of $1,000 and to a maximum equal to the lesser of
$50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loan transactions are treated
as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant
Notes Funds. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to twenty
five years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are
secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest
at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined
quarterly by the Plan administrator. Interest rates range from 7% to
11.75%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly
payroll deductions. During the year ended December 31, 1996, there
were 43 loans made totaling $194,679, repayments were $70,157, and the
ending balance was $394,724.
FORFEITED ACCOUNTS. At December 31, 1996, forfeited nonvested accounts
totaled $6,741. These accounts will be used to reduce future employer
contributions. Also, in 1996, employer contributions were reduced by
$13,777 from forfeited nonvested accounts.
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. The financial statements of the Plan are
prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION. The Plan's investments
are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies
are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value
of shares held by the Plan at year end. The Company's stock is valued
at its quoted market price. Participant notes receivable are valued at
cost which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

Note: There were no prohibited party-in-interest transactions, no leases, and
no loans or fixed income obligations in default or classified as uncollectible
during the year ended December 31, 1994. A schedule of investment assets which
were both acquired and disposed of within the plan year is not necessary since
all such transactions involve either common investment funds or instruments for
short-term money management (such as interests in mutual funds and short-term

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Plan Administrator
Flores & Rucks, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits with fund information of the Flores & Rucks, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits with fund information for the year ended December
31, 1994 and the period September 1, 1993 through December 31, 1993. These
financial statements are the representation of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our report dated July 14, 1995, we did not express an opinion on the
financial statements and schedules taken as a whole, because of scope
limitations as permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. We have since determined that such
limitations are not permitted for filings with the Securities Exchange
Commission included with a Form 11-K. Accordingly, our present opinion on the
December 31, 1994 and 1993 financial statements, as presented herein, is
different from that expressed in our previous report.
31
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Flores &
Rucks, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December
31, 1994 and the period September 1, 1993 through December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Flores & Rucks, Inc. ("Company")
401(k) Savings Plan ("Plan") provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.
GENERAL. The Plan was established September 1, 1993. The Plan is a
defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees who have
one year of service and are age twenty one or older. It is subject to
the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).
CONTRIBUTIONS. Each year, participants may contribute from a minimum
of 2% up to a maximum of 15% of pretax annual compensation, as defined
in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing
distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution
plans. The Company may contribute to the Plan an amount to be
determined annually by the Board of Directors (discretionary profit
sharing contribution). Under the 401(k) provisions, the Company may
also make a matching contribution not to exceed 5% of participants'
compensation.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS. Each participant's account is credited with the
participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's
contribution and, (b) Plan earnings. Allocations are based on
participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to
which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
from the participant's vested account.
VESTING. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions,
plus actual earnings thereon. Participants also vest in the Company's
matching and discretionary contributions portion of their accounts
plus actual earnings thereon based on a five year schedule as outlined
in the Plan's trust document. A participant is 100 percent vested
after five years of credited service.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS. Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may
direct employee and employer contributions in percentage increments in
any of six investment funds managed by the trustee, Capital Guardian
Trust Company.
New Perspective Fund. A fund investing in domestic and foreign
equity securities.
