                                  (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 ("Amerac" or the "Company") annual report for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

  Earnings per share and weighted average common shares outstanding for the
three and six months ended June 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.

3.  CONTINGENCIES

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

  The net loss of $829,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was largely
attributable to the $534,000 non-cash write off of the Company's investment in
the Sacatosa project.  In the second quarter of 1996, the Company participated
in a pilot waterflood project in the Sacatosa field in Maverick County, Texas.
The Company installed two five-well pilot patterns to evaluate the economic
feasibility of the program.  To-date, there has been no response to the
injection activities and the Company now believes that it is unlikely that the
project will be successful.

  Oil and gas revenues decreased from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 1996
to $2.3 million in the comparable period of 1997.  The decline in revenue was
due primarily to lower volumes and realized prices at the Company's offshore
property, South Timbalier 198.  The primary well at South Timbalier began to
produce water during December of 1996.  In addition, the 1996 second quarter
included favorable prior period revenue adjustments and revenue from properties
sold during 1996.  The revenue effects of lower 1997 second quarter volumes at
the Company's North Blackwell and Cosden fields, due to normal production
declines, were more than offset by higher volumes from the Texan Gardens and
Throckmorton properties acquired during the third quarter of 1996.

  During the second quarter of 1997, the Company's revenue volumes were
approximately 55,500 barrels ("Bbls") of oil and 656,900 thousand cubic feet
("Mcf") of natural gas.  In the comparable three months of 1996, the Company
reported volumes of approximately 53,300 Bbls of oil and 820,400 Mcf of natural
gas.

  During the second quarter of 1997, the Company's average realized price was
$18.65 per Bbl for oil and $1.97 per Mcf for natural gas.  In the three months
ended June 30, 1996, the Company's realized prices for oil and natural gas were
$20.63 per Bbl and $1.82 per Mcf, respectively.

  Lease operating expense increased from $500,000 in the second quarter of 1996
to $966,000 in the comparable period of 1997.  The increase is attributable to
workovers of approximately $289,000 in the second quarter of  1997 and expenses
from properties acquired subsequent to the second quarter of 1996.

  Exploration expense of  $192,000 in the second quarter of 1997 primarily
relates to geological and geophysical expenditures incurred in 1997.

  Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $690,000 in the second
quarter of 1997 exceeds the 1996 reported amount of $479,000, primarily as a
result of a higher per unit rate resulting from downward reserve estimates for
South Timbalier 198, and higher investments in oil and gas properties due to
acquisitions completed subsequent to the second quarter of 1996.

  General and administrative expense decreased from $699,000 in the second
quarter of 1996 to $566,000 in the second quarter of 1997 primarily as a result
of reimbursement of general and administrative costs by the Company's Eastern
Shelf Program partners and overhead billed to other working interest partners.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

  The net loss of $310,000 for the first six months of 1997 is due primarily to
the $534,000 non-cash write off of the Company's investment in the Sacatosa
project.  In the first half of 1996, the Company reported net income of $1.5
million.

  Oil and gas revenues increased from $4.9 million in the first six months of
1996 to $5.3 million in the six month period ended June 30, 1997.  The increased
revenue is the result of higher realized prices for both oil and natural gas.

                           AMERAC ENERGY CORPORATION

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- (CONTINUED)


During 1997, the Company's average realized price for oil was $20.77 per Bbl,
and for gas was $2.42 per Mcf.  These were improvements over the comparable 1996
period of $1.31 per Bbl and $0.33 per Mcf.

  Higher oil volumes in the first six months of 1997 also contributed to
improved revenues compared to 1996. In 1997, the Company's revenue was based
upon oil volumes of 100,900 Bbls, while the comparable figure in 1996 was 93,200
Bbls. Oil volumes improved as a result of the impact of acquisitions completed
subsequent to the second quarter of 1996, partially offset by normal production
declines at the Company's South Timbalier and North Blackwell properties.
Reduced natural gas volumes partially offset the effects of higher prices and
oil volumes. In the first half of 1997, natural gas volumes totaled 1,332,300
Mcf, versus 1,453,200 Mcf in 1996. The higher 1996 gas volumes were due to
properties sold during 1996 and favorable prior period revenue adjustments
recognized in the second quarter of 1996, partially offset by higher gas volumes
from properties acquired subsequent to the second quarter of 1996.

  Lease operating expense in the first half of 1997 of $1.7 million includes
$372,000 of workover expense.  In the first six months of 1996, the Company's
lease operating expense of $980,000 included less than $1,000 of workover
charges.  Higher lease operating expense from properties acquired during 1996
also contributed to the unfavorable variance compared to 1996.

  Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $1.4 million in the first
two quarters of 1997 exceeds the 1996 figure of $994,000, primarily as a result
of a higher per unit rate resulting from downward reserve estimates for South
Timbalier 198, and higher investments in oil and gas properties due to
acquisitions completed subsequent to the second quarter of 1996.

  General and administrative expenses in the first half of 1997 of $1.2 million
slightly exceeded the comparable 1996 charge of $1.1 million.  Higher salaries
and benefits expense due to the hiring of additional employees subsequent to the
second quarter of 1996 and costs incurred in regards to listing on the American
Stock Exchange and preparation of a registration statement, were offset by
reimbursement of general and administrative costs by the Company's Eastern Shelf
Program partners and overhead billed to other working interest partners.

  Also, the first six months of 1996 included a gain of $125,000 from the sale
of properties.


DRILLING AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

  As a result of production in the first half of 1997 of 0.3 million barrels of
oil equivalents ("Mboe") and net downward reserve revisions of approximately 0.6
Mboe, the Company did not replace its reserves in the first half of 1997. The
most significant of the downward reserve revisions were attributable to
disappointing drilling results in the North Blackwell Field in Nolan County,
Texas and marginal production from previously completed wells in that field. The
Company estimates that as of July 1, 1997 its proved reserves were approximately
4.1 Mboe.

  In July, the Company drilled the Whitlock # 2 well in the Truby Field in Jones
County, Texas.  Completion operations are now in progress.  The Whitlock #2 well
is structurally higher and has a thicker pay than the Company's Whitlock #1 well
which is producing at a rate of 80-85 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD") with
essentially no decline.  In addition to supporting two previously recognized
proved undeveloped ("PUD") locations, the Whitlock #2 establishes one other PUD
location.

  Also in July, Amerac performed a recompletion on the Hidalgo-Willacy # 4-B
well in the Company's Texan Gardens Field in Hidalgo County, Texas.  After
recompleting in the Lower Heard sand, the well tested natural at 500 thousand
cubic feet per day ("MCFD") of natural gas.  After a fracture treatment, the
well was tested at 1,200 MCFD of natural gas with 200 barrels of water per day.
The Hidalgo-Willacy # 4-B was put on production immediately.  The Company is in
the process of recompleting the Hidalgo-Willacy # 14-B in the Lower Heard sand.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- (CONCLUDED)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  During the first six months of 1997, the Company generated cash flow from
operations of $1.7 million and net borrowings of $0.1 million, which was used
primarily to fund its exploration and development drilling activities.  At the
end of the first quarter of 1997, the Company had outstanding debt of $7.8
million under its  bank credit facility.  Effective August 1, 1997, the
Company's borrowing base was increased to $10.5 million providing available
borrowing capacity of $2.7 million

  The Company anticipates that it must seek additional sources of financing to
fund acquisition activities. Amerac may finance additional acquisitions through
a combination of working capital, bank borrowings, mezzanine financing,
production payments and equity. However, there is no assurance that the Company
will be successful in obtaining such additional financing.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

  On August 6, 1997 Amerac announced that its Board of Directors had formed a
Special Committee to undertake a process to explore strategic alternatives
designed to enhance shareholder value.  The Special Committee will be
responsible for developing and recommending various alternatives which may
include the possible merger or business combination of the Company with another
entity.  The Special Committee will consist of two outside directors; Kenneth R.
Peak, Chairman of the Special Committee, and William P. Nicoletti, Chairman of
the Board of the Company.  No assurance can be given that any specific
transaction will occur as a result of this initiative.

  In order to retain key employees while considering strategic alternatives, the
Company has offered incentives to those employees to remain with the Company.
Two officers of Amerac have declined to accept the Company's incentive offers
and have tendered their resignations. Mr. Richard B. Hallett, Vice President,
Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer resigned effective August 15,
1997 and Mr. Richard J. Savoie, Vice President of Engineering resigned effective
August 12, 1997. There can be no assurances that other key employees of the
Company will not resign.

  The Company also announced that following Mr. Hallett's resignation, Mr. Peak
will assume the positions of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Mr.
Jeffrey L. Stevens, also a director of the company, will assume the position of
Secretary.


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accountings Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").
SFAS 128 requires presentation of  "basic earnings per share" and "diluted
earnings per share".  Under SFAS 128, the Company's basic earnings per share and
diluted earnings per share would be consistent with the income statement
presentation for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  SFAS 128 is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997, and
early adoption is not permitted.
