         For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         These consolidated financial statements should be read in the context
of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in the 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K of
Toreador Royalty Corporation (the "Company"). In the opinion of the Company's
management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods reported herein. Operating
results for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 may not necessarily be
indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 1999.

NOTE 2 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES

         Marketable securities at September 30, 1999 consist of several issues
of preferred stock with a fair market value of $252,006 as of September 30,
1999. The net unrealized loss related to these securities before taxes is
$68,780 ($45,394 net of tax). The Company has designated these investments as
"securities available for sale" pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115.

NOTE 3 - NON-PRODUCING MINERAL AND ROYALTY INTERESTS

         Principal properties include perpetual mineral and royalty interests
acquired by the Company during 1951, 1958 and 1998. These interests total
approximately 1,336,000 net mineral acres underlying approximately 2,539,000
gross acres. These properties include approximately 1,775,000 gross (876,000
net) acres in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana and 764,000 gross (460,000 net)
acres located in the Texas Panhandle and West Texas. It is recognized that the
ultimate realization of the investment in these properties is dependent upon
future exploration and development operations which are dependent upon
satisfactory leasing and drilling arrangements with others and a favorable oil
and gas price environment.

Compass Bank providing for a revolving line of credit of up to $25,000,000 with
a current borrowing base of $10,500,000, subject to adjustment depending upon
the underlying collateral value. The current outstanding loan is $10,355,000
which matures on October 1, 2002. The loan bears interest equal to the prime
rate charged by the lender less 1/4%, which currently equates to 8%. The
credit agreement contains various representations, warranties and covenants of
the borrower customary for a loan of this type.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         DISCLOSURES REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements
other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q, including,
without limitation, statements contained in this "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding the
Company's financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of
management of the Company for future operations, and industry conditions, are
forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Any forward-looking
statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties inherent in
petroleum exploration, development and production, including, but not limited to
the risk that no commercially productive oil and gas reservoirs will be
encountered; the risk that acquisitions of additional producing properties may
not be feasible, or that such acquisitions may not be profitable; inconclusive
results from 3-D seismic projects; delays or cancellation of drilling operations
as a result of a variety of factors; volatility of oil and gas prices due to
economic and other conditions; intense competition in the oil and gas industry;
operational risks (e.g., fires, explosions, blowouts, cratering and loss of
production); insurance coverage limitations and requirements; and potential
liability imposed by intense governmental regulation of oil and gas production;
all of which are beyond the control of the Company. Any one or more of these
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statement. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements disclosed in
this paragraph and otherwise in this report.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Historically, most of the exploration activity on our acreage has been
funded and conducted by other oil companies. Exploration activity by third party
oil companies typically generates lease bonus and option income to us. If such
drilling is successful, we receive royalty income from the oil or gas production
but bear none of the capital or operating costs.

         Since the middle of 1996, we have successfully accelerated the
evaluation of several areas of our Texas mineral acreage as well as increased
our ownership in any reserves that were discovered by third parties conducting
3-D seismic projects (without cost to us) and selectively participated in any
wells drilled as a result of such geophysical activity. At this time we have
discontinued this policy.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         We have shifted our exploration focus to geologic regions, particularly
those areas with proven and attractive gas reserves, that can provide
potentially better rates of return on our capital resources. We also plan to
evaluate 3-D seismic projects or drilling prospects generated by third party
operators. If judged geologically and financially attractive by our management,
we will enter into joint ventures on those third party projects or prospects
which are within the capital exploration budget approved by our board of
directors.

         We also intend to actively evaluate opportunities to acquire producing
properties that represent unique opportunities for us to add additional reserves
to our reserve base. Any such acquisitions will be financed using cash on hand,
third party sources, existing credit facilities or any combination thereof.

         Our remaining 1999 capital and exploratory budget, excluding any
acquisitions we may make, could range from $100,000 to $200,000, depending on
the timing of any new seismic surveys and drilling of exploratory and
development wells in which we may hold a working interest position.

         At the present time, the primary source of capital for financing our
operations is our cash flow from operations and proceeds from oil and gas
properties sold. During the first nine months of 1999, cash flow provided by
operations and oil and gas properties sold was $756,433.

         On September 30, 1999, we purchased certain oil and gas royalty
interests located in Arkansas, California, Kansas and Michigan (the "Four State
Acquisition") from Conoco, Inc., pursuant to a written offer by us and a letter
of acceptance from Conoco. The purchase price was $3,215,000 which was funded
with our available cash ($600,000) and a loan from Compass Bank, Dallas
($2,615,000). The effective date of the purchase was August 1, 1999.

         On November 13, 1997 we obtained a credit facility from Compass Bank.
The credit facility contains borrowing base restrictions and various affirmative
and negative covenants. These covenants, among other things, limit additional
indebtedness, the sale of assets and the payment of dividends, change of control
and require us to meet certain financial tests. We must maintain a ratio of
current assets to current liabilities of at least 1:1.

         The credit facility was amended on April 16, 1999 to increase the size
of the facility to $25.0 million. On September 30, 1999, a new credit agreement
was entered into with Compass Bank which amended various terms and conditions
of the previous facility. The main changes were a new maturity date of October
1, 2002, with an increased borrowing base of $10,500,000. The increased
borrowing base was a result of the Four State Acquisition. As of September 30,
1999 the Company was in compliance with all covenants pursuant to the credit
agreement.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

                  We maintain our excess cash funds in interest-bearing deposits
and in marketable securities. In addition to the properties described above, we
also may acquire other producing oil and gas assets, which could require the use
of debt, including the aforementioned credit facility or other forms of
financing. Our management believes that sufficient funds are available from
internal sources and other third party sources to meet anticipated capital
requirements for fiscal 1999.

         From October 10, 1995 through October 29, 1999 we have used $1,249,421
of our cash reserves to purchase 469,000 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to
three share repurchase programs approved by the board of directors. During the
third quarter of 1999 we purchased 7,300 of the shares at a cost of $25,143. On
July 23, 1998, our board of directors suspended the policy of share repurchases
for the time being to instead use the Company's excess cash resources toward
funding our participation in third party operated 3-D projects or drilling
prospects and acquisition of producing oil and gas properties. On March 23,
1999, our board of directors reinstated the common stock repurchase program
enabling the Company to purchase the remaining shares available under the third
stock repurchase plan from time to time and depending on market conditions.
There are approximately 81,000 shares authorized and available for repurchase
under the third plan.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 VS.
      THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

         Revenues for the third quarter of 1999 were $1,523,241 versus $447,225
for the same period in 1998. Oil and gas sales were $1,084,286 on volumes of
30,686 Bbls of oil and 210,282 Mcf of natural gas for the third quarter of 1999
as compared to $396,962 on volumes of 21,191 Bbls and 79,091 Mcf in 1998. This
increase in oil and gas sales reflects an increase in oil and gas volumes from
the Howell Mineral Acquisition in addition to a substantial increase in oil and
gas prices. The average price for third quarter 1999 oil sales increased 61% to
$18.38/Bbl compared to $11.45/Bbl for the same quarter in 1998. The average
price for third quarter 1999 gas sales increased 19% to $2.29/Mcf compared to
$1.92/Mcf for the same period in 1998. Net lease bonuses and rentals for the
third quarter of 1999 were $122,885 versus none for the same period in 1998 due
to increased activity on acreage that was part of the Howell Mineral
Acquisition. Interest and other income were $21,571 in the third quarter of 1999
versus $50,263 for the third quarter of 1998 due to a decrease in cash funds
earning interest in 1999.

         Costs and expenses for the third quarter of 1999 were $987,371 versus
$696,687 for the same period in 1998. Lease operating expenses increased 79% to
$172,589 in 1999 from $96,206 in 1998. This increase was due mainly to
production taxes incurred on increased oil and gas revenue as compared to the
same quarter in 1998. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 34% to
$201,536 for the third quarter of 1999 from $150,913 in 1998, primarily
reflecting depletion related to the Howell Mineral Acquisition. Geological and
geophysical expenses decreased slightly to $107,189 for the third quarter of
1999 from $109,388 in 1998. General and administrative expenses decreased 13% to
$296,249 in the third quarter of 1999 from $340,180 for the same period a year
ago. This decrease in general and administrative expense resulted primarily from
one-time charges in 1998, namely, a "break-up" fee paid to Dain Rauscher Wessels
for over $50,000 along with legal expenses totaling over $50,000 related to the
reorganization of the Board of Directors. Another factor in the decrease was a
credit of $58,000 during the third quarter of 1999 resulting from the
reclassification of technical service fees from Wilco Properties Inc. during
1999. The fees were classified as "Interest and other income" in previous
quarters.

         During the third quarter of 1999 the Company incurred $209,808 in
interest expense and paid $90,000 for preferred dividends related to the
financing for the Howell Mineral Acquisition. In the same period for 1998 there
were no interest or dividend payments.

         The Company recognized net income of $263,674, or $0.05 per share
(basic and diluted), for the third quarter of 1999 versus a net loss of
$164,745, or $0.03 per share (basic and diluted), for the same period in 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 VS.
      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

         Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $3,875,761
versus $1,786,895 for the same period in 1998. Oil and gas sales for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 were $2,616,687 on volumes of 100,277 Bbls of
oil and 602,253 Mcf of natural gas as compared to $1,487,650 on volumes of
69,172 Bbls and 278,526 Mcf for the same period in 1998. The $1,129,037 or 76%
increase in oil and gas sales reflects an increase in oil and gas volumes from
the Howell Mineral Acquisition. Average oil prices increased slightly to
$13.80/Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $13.28/Bbl for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. Average gas prices decreased 5% to
$1.93/Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $2.04/Mcf for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. Lease bonuses and rentals increased to
$319,510 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $168,664 for
the prior-year period. This 89% increase was primarily attributable to lease
bonuses received on acreage from the Howell Mineral Acquisition. Interest and
other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $87,838, down 33%
from $130,581 for the same period in 1998 due to reduced interest earned on
lower cash balances in 1999.

         Costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were
$3,089,553 versus $1,880,416 for the same period in 1998. Lease operating
expenses increased slightly to $429,176 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from $412,253 for the same period in 1998. Dry holes and abandonments
decreased to zero for the nine period ended September 30, 1999 from $100,207 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 reflecting the Company's decreased
participation in exploration projects on its minerals. Depreciation, depletion
and amortization increased 69% to $604,563 for the first nine months in 1999
from $358,659 for the same period in 1998, reflecting the increase in properties
and equipment from the Howell Mineral Acquisition. Geological and geophysical
expenses increased 13% to $275,685 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
from $244,189 for the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses
increased to $1,216,423 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from
$765,108 for the same period a year ago, primarily due to non-recurring costs
related to the Howell Mineral Acquisition along with increased payroll costs.

         The Company recognized net income of $518,897 or $0.05 per share (basic
and diluted), for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 versus a net loss of
$61,378, or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted), for the same period in 1998.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires companies to record
derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair
value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and
whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. This statement is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. This
statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000.

YEAR 2000 PROJECT

         The year 2000 ("Y2K") problem arises because of computer programs which
use two digits rather than four digits to define a year. This may result in
miscalculations or complete system failures in processing data with programs
using date-sensitive information.

         We currently use commercially available software for our management
information systems, including accounting, engineering, and word processing
applications. This software has either already been warranted by the suppliers
or publishers to be Y2K compliant or the suppliers and publishers have
represented such software will be compliant in upgrades we will receive in 1999
at minimal or no cost to us.

         We have completed our review of our internal computer systems and we
have determined that these systems are Y2K compliant. As of September 30, 1999,
all costs incurred by us in connection with our compliance efforts were included
in general and administrative expenses. As of September 30,1999, the total cost
incurred was approximately $28,000. Management expects any additional Y2K
compliance costs to be minimal because our management information systems are
warranted to be compliant or are represented to be compliant in upgrades we will
receive. Furthermore, we replaced our former oil and gas system in 1998 with a
Y2K compliant oil and gas package. Management has obtained confirmation from our
major suppliers and purchasers that they also are or will be Y2K compliant.
Management believes that it will not be practical to independently verify the
responses because it does not believe that we would be given access to carry out
such verification or that the costs of doing so would be affordable. The cost of
replacing non-compliant or non-responsive suppliers and customers will not be
possible to determine until the review process has been completed. Any Y2K
problems that do occur will likely manifest themselves in reduced production
through equipment shut downs or impaired liquidity through inability of
customers to take delivery of production or process payments.
