NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATION

     The  consolidated  balance sheet as of September 30, 2000, the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive  income for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the  consolidated  statement of stockholders'
equity for the period ended September 30, 2000 and the  consolidated  statements
of cash  flows for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and  1999,  are
unaudited.  In the  opinion of  management,  all  necessary  adjustments  (which
include only normal recurring  adjustments) have been made to present fairly the
financial  position at September 30, 2000,  results of operations  for the three
and nine month periods,  and changes in stockholders'  equity and cash flows for
the nine month periods.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting  principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
that  these  condensed  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with the
financial  statements and notes thereto included in the December 31, 1999 annual
report on Form 10-K for the Company. The results of operations for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, are not  necessarily  indicative of
the operating results for the full year.

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and
balances  have  been  eliminated  in  consolidation.  Certain  items  have  been
reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

     The Company is a holding  company with no significant  assets or operations
other than its investments in its subsidiaries. The wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the Company,  except for  Bluebird,  are direct  Guarantors of the Company's 10%
Senior Notes and have fully and unconditionally  guaranteed the Notes on a joint
and  several  basis.  The  Guarantors  comprise  all of the direct and  indirect
subsidiaries of the Company (other than Bluebird), and the Company has presented
separate  condensed  consolidating  financial  statements and other  disclosures
concerning each Guarantor and Bluebird (See Note 7). Except for Bluebird,  there
is no restriction on the ability of consolidated or unconsolidated  subsidiaries
to  transfer  funds to the  Company  in the form of cash  dividends,  loans,  or
advances.

</TABLE>
     The Company recorded a loss of $89,000 on interest rate swaps for the three
months ended  September  30, 2000 and recorded a gain on interest  rate swaps of
$104,000  for the three  months ended  September  30, 1999.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company  recorded a loss of $64,000 and a
gain of $104,000,  respectively.  The gains and losses from  interest rate swaps
are included in interest expense for the appropriate  periods.  At September 30,
2000 the unrealized loss from interest derivative transactions was $835,000.

NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

     In June 1998,  the FASB  issued SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities." The statement  establishes  accounting and
reporting standards that require every derivative  instrument (including certain
derivative  instruments  embedded  in other  contracts)  to be  recorded  in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability  measured at its fair market value
and that  changes in the  derivative's  fair value be  recognized  currently  in
earnings  unless specific hedge  accounting  criteria are met. If those criteria
are met,  the  instruments  are treated as cash flow or fair value  hedges under
SFAS  No.  133  creating   volatility  in  equity   through   changes  in  other
comprehensive  income or net income due to the  marking to market of the hedging
contracts. We will adopt SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001.

     The Company is currently  obligated to four crude oil  derivatives  and one
interest rate  derivative  that extend beyond  December 31, 2000. The Company is
currently  evaluating  the  effect  of  the  adoption  of the  statement  on its
consolidated  financial  position and results of operations related to the crude
oil  derivatives.  The Company's crude oil derivatives are expected to result in
cash flow hedges,  which require the Company to record the derivative  assets or
liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial  position with an offset
in Other  Comprehensive  Income  to the  extent  the hedge is  effective.  Hedge
ineffectiveness will be recorded in earnings.  The Company continues to evaluate
the  impact  of SFAS  No.  133,  as well as the  ongoing  implementation  issues
currently being addressed by the Derivatives  Implementation Group. As a result,
the direct  financial  impact of the  application  of hedge  accounting  and the
transition  adjustment  related to the crude oil  derivatives  on the  Company's
financial  position and results of operations has yet to be determined.  We have
determined that the interest rate derivative will not qualify for treatment as a
fair value  hedge as defined in the  statement.  If the  Company had adopted the
statement on September  30, 2000, it would have recorded a liability of $835,000
on its balance  sheet at that date  representing  the fair value of the interest
rate  derivative  with a resulting  charge to income of $543,000,  net of income
tax, as the cumulative  effect of change in accounting  method for the three and
nine month periods ending September 30, 2000.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On October 17, 2000 public  warrants  for  3,174,600  common  shares of the
Company were exercised at a price of $6.50 per share,  resulting in net proceeds
of $20.6  million.  On October 26, 2000 the Company  announced the redemption of
all remaining  outstanding public warrants on the redemption date of December 5,
2000.  There are presently  outstanding a total of 7,337,550  warrants,  and the
redemption  price is $0.01 per  warrant.  Each  warrant is  exercisable  for the
purchase of one share of common stock at the exercise  price of $6.50 per share.
The Company  has agreed to use the first  proceeds  from the  exercise of public
warrants  to  redeem up to 25,000  shares  of its 1999  Series A 8%  convertible
preferred stock with a liquidation value of $25,000,000.

NOTE 6 - SEGMENT DATA

     The Company has three reportable  segments.  The Exploration and Production
segment  is  engaged  in  exploratory  and  developmental   drilling,   and  the
acquisition, production, and sale of crude oil, condensate, and natural gas. The
Gas  Gathering,  Marketing and  Processing  segment is engaged in the gathering,
compressing  and  processing of raw natural gas from the wellhead,  the purchase
and resale of natural gas which it gathers,  and the  processing  of natural gas
liquids. The Oil Field Services segment is engaged in the managing and operation
of producing oil and gas properties for interest owners.

     The Company's  reportable  segments are strategic business units that offer
different  products  and  services.  They are managed  separately  because  each
business requires different technology and marketing strategies. The Exploration
and Production  segment has six geographic  areas that are  aggregated.  The Gas
Gathering, Marketing and Processing segment includes the activities of three gas
gathering  systems  and three  natural gas  liquids  processing  plants in three
geographic  areas that are  aggregated as of September  30, 2000.  The Oil Field
Services  segment has six geographic  areas that are aggregated.  The reason for
aggregating  the segments,  in each case, is due to the  similarity in nature of
the products,  the production  processes,  the type of customers,  the method of
distribution, and the regulatory environments.

     The  accounting  policies  of the  segments  are the same as those  for the
Company as a whole. The Company  evaluates  performance  based on profit or loss
from operations  before income taxes. The accounting for intersegment  sales and
transfers is done as if the sales or transfers were to third  parties,  that is,
at current market prices.

     Segment data for the periods ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999 follows (in
thousands):

NOTE 7 -- CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,  except Bluebird, are direct
Guarantors of the Company's 10% Senior Notes and have fully and  unconditionally
guaranteed  the Notes on a joint  and  several  basis.  Bluebird  was  formed in
December  1998 and first  reported  results of  operations  in fiscal  1999.  In
addition to not being a guarantor of the Company's  10% Senior Notes,  it cannot
be included in determining  compliance  with certain  financial  covenants under
certain of the  Company's  credit  agreements.  The Company has  concluded  that
separate financial statements related to the Guarantors are not included because
management  has  determined  that they are not material to investors.  Condensed
consolidating  financial  information  for Magnum  Hunter  Resources,  Inc.  and
subsidiaries  as  of  September  30,  2000  and  December  31,  1999,  condensed
consolidating  statements  of  operations  for the three and nine  months  ended
September  30, 2000 and 1999,  and  condensed  consolidating  statements of cash
flows as of September 30, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

     For the third  quarter  of 2000,  we  reported  net  income  of  $4,874,000
compared to net income of  $213,000  for the third  quarter of 1999.  Net income
applicable to common shares was  $3,874,000,  or $0.19 per share-basic and $0.15
per share-diluted, for the third quarter of 2000. For the third quarter of 1999,
we reported a net loss  applicable to common shares of $1,028,000,  or $0.05 per
share  basic and  diluted.  For the nine month  period of 2000 we  reported  net
income of $9,982,000  versus a net loss of $7,089,000  for the nine month period
of 1999. Our net income applicable to common shares was $6,688,000, or $0.33 per
share-basic and $0.31 per  share-diluted  for the nine months of 2000,  versus a
net loss  applicable to common shares of  $10,380,000,  or $0.51 per share basic
and diluted  for the nine months of 1999.  The  improvements  in these  reported
results are due to the following factors:

Oil and Gas Operations:
-----------------------

     PRODUCTION.  For the third quarter of 2000,  we reported oil  production of
294 Mbbls  (thousand  barrels) and gas  production of 4,779 Mmcf (million  cubic
feet),  which  represents  a  decline  of  17% in oil  and  7% in gas  from  the
comparable  quarter  in 1999.  This  decline  was  primarily  due to the sale of
certain  non-core  oil and gas  properties  which  took  effect in June 2000 and
September 2000.  Excluding the production of these properties from both periods,
our underlying  oil production  increased 3% to 294 Mbbls and our underlying gas
production  increased 7% to 4,595 Mmcf for the third quarter of 2000 compared to
the third quarter of 1999. These increases were the result of the success of our
drilling program offsetting normal production  declines.  For the nine months of
2000,  our reported  production  was 998 Mbbls of oil and 14,611 Mmcf of gas, an
increase of 7% and 2%,  respectively,  while our  underlying  production was 876
Mbbls of oil and 13,040 Mmcf of gas,  an  increase of 18% and 6%,  respectively.
These increases in reported and underlying  production can be attributed in part
to the  success  of our  drilling  programs  and in part to the  acquisition  of
properties from Vastar effective June 1999.

     PRICES.  The  increase  in  prices  received  for oil and gas was the  most
significant  factor  affecting  net  income  for both the three  and nine  month
periods  in 2000.  Prices  realized  during the third  quarter of 2000  averaged
$21.31  per  barrel  of oil and  $3.92  per Mcf of gas.  This  represents  a 57%
increase,  on a thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent  (Mcfe) basis,  over third
quarter of 1999  average  realized  prices of $15.86 per barrel of oil and $2.34
per Mcf of gas.  Average  realized  prices  during the first nine months of 2000
were  $22.07 per barrel of oil and $3.28 per Mcf of gas,  a 60%  increase  on an
Mcfe  basis  compared  to  $13.89  per  barrel  of oil and  $2.05 per Mcf of gas
realized during the 1999 period. The unit prices realized include the effects of
hedging.

     From time to time,  we enter into  various  hedging  contracts  in order to
reduce our exposure to the  possibility of declining oil and gas prices.  During
the third quarter of 2000, hedging reduced the average price we received for oil
by $8.90 per barrel and for gas by $0.35 per Mcf as compared to net decreases of
$3.35  per  barrel  and $0.18 per Mcf for the  third  quarter  of 1999.  Hedging
transactions  for the first nine months of 2000  reduced  the  average  price we
received for oil by $6.26 per barrel and for gas by $0.17 per Mcf as compared to
a net  decrease of $1.51 per barrel and a net  increase of $0.03 per Mcf for the
comparable 1999 period.

     During the third quarter of 2000, we had  approximately  19% of our natural
gas production and 94% of our oil  production  hedged.  For October 2000 we have
300,000 Mcf of gas hedged through  cost-less collars with a price range of $1.80
to $2.25 per Mcf.  Beginning  November 1, 2000 we have no natural gas hedges for
the remainder of 2000 or thereafter.  For the fourth quarter of 2000, the amount
of our oil hedged drops to approximately  43% of our current oil production at a
weighted  average price using cost-less  collars of $17.94 to $19.75 per barrel.
For the first six months of 2001 we have  approximately  81% of our  current oil
production hedged using cost-less collars with a weighted average price range of
$25.00 to $34.56 per barrel.

     OIL AND GAS REVENUES.  Primarily as a result of higher realized prices, oil
and gas revenues increased 42% to $24,995,000 compared to third quarter 1999 oil
and gas revenues of $17,575,000.  Oil and gas revenues for the first nine months
of 2000  increased  66% to  $69,954,000  as compared to  $42,263,000  during the
comparable 1999 period, also primarily because of an increase in realized prices
received.

                                       15
<PAGE>
     LEASE OPERATING EXPENSE.  We break out our lease operating expense into two
components,  lifting  costs and  production  tax and other costs.  For the third
quarter of 2000,  lifting costs, on a unit of production  basis,  were $0.53 per
Mcfe as  compared  to  $0.58  per Mcfe in the  comparable  period  of 1999.  The
decrease in lifting  costs per unit is  attributable  to the sale of  properties
with higher than average lifting costs as well as the addition  through drilling
of new gas production with lower than average lifting costs.  Production tax and
other  costs were $0.46 per Mcfe during the third  quarter of 2000 versus  $0.32
per Mcfe  during the  corresponding  period in 1999.  This  increase  was caused
primarily by higher  production  taxes and net profits  interest  expense due to
higher oil and gas prices. For the nine month period in 2000, lifting costs were
$0.60  per  Mcfe  versus  $0.56  per Mcfe for the  nine  month  period  in 1999,
primarily the result of the  acquisition of properties  with higher than average
lifting costs in June 1999.  Production  tax and other costs were $0.41 per Mcfe
for the nine months in 2000 versus $0.28 per Mcfe for the  corresponding  period
in 1999. The increase is attributable to higher  production  taxes,  net profits
interest expense and overhead charges.

     GROSS  MARGIN - OIL AND GAS.  We define  our gross  margin  for oil and gas
operations as oil and gas revenue less lease operating  expenses.  For the third
quarter of 2000, our gross margin was $18,535,000,  or $2.83 per Mcfe, on a unit
of  production  basis.  For the third  quarter  of 1999,  our gross  margin  was
$11,013,000,  or $1.53 per Mcfe.  For the nine month  period in 2000,  our gross
margin was  $49,127,000,  or $2.39 per Mcfe,  versus  $25,707,000,  or $1.29 per
Mcfe, for the comparable  period in 1999. In the case of both the three and nine
month  periods,  the principal  reason for the increase in our gross margin from
oil and gas operations  was the increase in the realized  prices for oil and gas
production.

Gas Gathering, Marketing and Processing Operations:
---------------------------------------------------

     THROUGHPUT  VOLUMES.  For the third quarter of 2000,  our gathering  system
throughput was 16,424 Mcf per day versus 17,387 Mcf per day for the same quarter
in 1999. This decline was due to normal production  declines behind the systems.
For the nine months in 2000,  gathering system throughput was 16,600 Mcf per day
versus  18,818 Mcf per day for the nine months of 1999.  This decline was partly
due to production  declines and partly due to the sale of a gathering  system in
June of 1999.  Gas  processing  throughput  was 15,190 Mcf per day for the third
quarter of 2000 versus 15,439 Mcf per day for the third quarter of 1999. For the
nine months in 2000,  gas  processing  throughput  was 17,145 Mcf per day versus
15,558 Mcf per day for the nine months in 1999.  The increase in throughput  for
the nine months in 1999 was the result of the acquisition of a processing  plant
in June of 1999.

     REVENUES.  For the third  quarter  of 2000,  revenues  from gas  gathering,
marketing and processing were $5,300,000 versus $2,039,000 for the third quarter
of  1999.  For the  nine  months  in  2000,  revenues  were  $13,544,000  versus
$5,516,000  for the nine months in 1999.  The increase in revenues for the third
quarter  and nine  month  period  in 2000 was  primarily  due to  higher  prices
received for plant products and residue gas and the plant acquisition  completed
in 1999.

     GROSS MARGIN.  The gross margin we realized from  gathering,  marketing and
processing for the third quarter of 2000 was $1,034,000  versus $597,000 for the
third quarter of 1999.  Gathering  margin was $0.17 per Mcf in 2000 versus $0.11
per Mcf in 1999 due to an increase in marketing  spreads.  Processing margin was
$0.53 per Mcf for the third  quarter of 2000  versus  $0.27 per Mcf for the same
quarter in 1999 due to higher prices for plant products.  For the nine months in
2000, gross margin was $2,986,000  versus $1,492,00 for the nine months in 1999.
Gathering  margin was $0.17 per Mcf and processing  margin was $0.46 per Mcf for
the nine months in 2000 versus  gathering margin of $0.14 per Mcf and processing
margin of $0.16 per Mcf for the 1999 period.  The  increase in these  margins in
2000 was due to greater marketing spreads and higher prices for plant products.

Oil Field Services:
-------------------

     Revenues  from oil  field  services  for the  third  quarter  of 2000  were
$394,000  versus  $250,000 for the third quarter of 1999,  due to an increase in
operating  services  provided to third party  clients.  The gross margin for the
third  quarter of 2000 was $194,000  versus  $152,000  for the third  quarter of
1999. For the nine months of 2000,  revenues were $870,000  versus  $549,000 for
the  corresponding  period in 1999,  due to an increase in third party  clients.
Gross  margin for the nine  month  periods  of 2000 and 1999 were  $420,000  and
$315,000, respectively.

Total Operating Revenues:
-------------------------

     Our total operating revenues for the third quarter of 2000 were $30,689,000
versus  $19,864,000  for the third  quarter of 1999, an increase of 54%. For the
nine  months of 2000,  our total  operating  revenues  were  $84,368,000  versus
$48,328,000 for the  corresponding  period in 1999, an increase of 75%. For both
periods in 2000,  revenues were higher  primarily due to higher  realized prices
for oil, gas and plant products.

Other Income and Expenses:
--------------------------

     DEPRECIATION AND DEPLETION. For the third quarter of 2000, our depreciation
and depletion  expense was  $5,398,000,  or $0.83 per Mcfe of production  versus
$5,768,000,  or $0.80 per Mcfe of production  in the third quarter of 1999.  The
depletion  rate per Mcfe was  slightly  higher in the 2000 period due to capital
costs incurred on our Gulf of Mexico exploration  projects.  For the nine months
of 2000,  depreciation and depletion expense was $16,935,000,  or $0.82 per Mcfe
of production versus $16,383,000, or $0.82 per Mcfe for the nine months of 1999.

     GAIN ON SALE.  For the third quarter of 2000, we recorded a gain on sale of
assets of $4,000  versus a gain on sale of assets of  $228,000  for the  similar
period in 1999.  For the nine months of 2000 and 1999, we recorded gains on sale
of assets of $28,000 and $228,000, respectively.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSE. Our G&A expense was $1,125,000 for the
third quarter of 2000 versus $683,000 for the third quarter of 1999, an increase
of 65%.  This  increase  was due to higher  salary and  benefits,  office  rent,
franchise taxes and other costs.  Our employee  headcount grew 8% when comparing
the two periods.

     For the  nine  months  of  2000,  our G&A  expense  was  $3,396,000  versus
$2,015,000 for the  corresponding  period in 1999, an increase of 69% due to the
same reasons that affected the quarterly change.

     OPERATING  PROFIT.  Our operating  profit for the third quarter of 2000 was
$13,244,000  versus  $5,539,000  for the third  quarter of 1999,  an increase of
139%. For the nine months in 2000, our operating profit was $32,230,000 versus a
nine month operating profit of $9,344,000 in 1999, an increase of 245%.

     EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF AFFILIATE.  We recorded equity in affiliate  earnings
of $92,000  for the third  quarter of 2000 versus a loss of $3,000 for the third
quarter  of 1999.  For the nine  month  period in 2000,  we  recorded  equity in
earnings of affiliate of $362,000  versus a loss of $100,000 for the nine months
of 1999. In both periods of 2000, the increase was due to increased net earnings
from gas marketing profits of the affiliate.

     OTHER  INCOME.  Other  income was  $165,000  for the third  quarter of 2000
versus $53,000 for the third quarter of 1999. For the nine months in 2000, other
income was $394,000  versus  $341,000 for the nine months in 1999. In both cases
the increase was due to an increase in interest income.

     INTEREST  EXPENSE.  For the third  quarter of 2000,  interest  expense  was
$5,712,000 versus $5,377,000 for the same period in 1999, due to higher rates on
our  LIBOR-based  senior  bank credit  lines and the effect of an interest  rate
swap.  Our interest  expense for the nine month  period in 2000 was  $17,139,000
versus  $16,588,000 for the  corresponding  period in 1999. The reasons for this
increase  are the same as for the  quarterly  periods.

                                       17

     PROVISION FOR DEFERRED  INCOME TAXES. We provided for deferred income taxes
of  $2,915,000  on pretax  income of  $7,789,000  in the third  quarter of 2000,
versus no tax  provision  on pretax  income of $212,000 in the third  quarter of
1999. For the nine months in 2000, we made a provision for deferred income taxes
of $5,865,000 on pretax income of  $15,847,000.  For the nine months in 1999, we
did not provide any deferred tax benefits on a pretax loss of $7,003,000 because
of uncertainty at that time in our ability to realize additional tax benefits on
our net operating losses in the future.

     DIVIDENDS APPLICABLE TO PREFERRED STOCK. We paid $1,000,000 in dividends on
our preferred  stock during the third quarter of 2000 versus  $1,241,000  during
the third quarter of 1999.  The reduction is due to  Bluebird's  acquisition  of
100% ($10,000,000) of our 1996 Series A Convertible  preferred stock on June 30,
2000. For the nine month periods in 2000 and 1999, we paid  preferred  dividends
of $3,294,000 and $3,291,000, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     CASH  FLOW  AND  WORKING  CAPITAL.  Net cash  flow  provided  by  operating
activities  for the nine month period in 2000 was  $29,901,000  and for the nine
month period in 1999 was $8,491,000.  The substantial  increase in our operating
cash flows is primarily  the result of higher  realized oil and gas prices.  Our
net working capital position at September 30, 2000 was $2,103,000. On that date,
Magnum Hunter also had available  $18,500,000 under its senior bank credit line,
and Bluebird had $3,500,000 available under its senior bank credit line.

     CAPITAL  EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS.  Net cash flow provided by investing
activities  was  $9,995,000  for the nine  month  period  in 2000.  We  realized
proceeds of $43,609,000 from the sale of non-core assets during the nine months,
of which  approximately  $11,893,000  was  attributable  to  Bluebird.  Both the
Company and Bluebird used these proceeds to repay senior bank  indebtedness.  We
made capital  expenditures  of  $31,569,000  under our capital budget during the
nine months,  of which  $10,051,000  is  attributable  to Bluebird.  Our capital
budget is discussed  further  below.  Additionally,  we made  investments in two
unconsolidated  affiliates  totaling  $2,090,000  and  advanced  funds  totaling
$1,414,000 under promissory notes receivable. We received payments on promissory
notes receivable totaling $1,459,000 during the nine months.

     FINANCING  ACTIVITIES.  Net cash  flow  used in  financing  activities  was
$40,192,000  for the nine  months of 2000.  We  borrowed a total of  $48,556,000
under our senior bank credit  lines of which  $11,500,000  was  attributable  to
Bluebird.   We  repaid   borrowings  under  our  senior  bank  credit  lines  by
$74,395,000,  of which  $15,800,000 was  attributable  to Bluebird.  We received
$310,000 from the exercise of employee stock  options.  We also paid $466,000 of
fees related to financing  activities,  of which  $175,000 was  attributable  to
Bluebird. Bluebird also spent $10,534,000 to acquire Magnum Hunter preferred and
common stock.

     BLUEBIRD'S CAPITAL RESOURCES.  On May 23, 2000, Bluebird's commercial banks
agreed to allow it to acquire 100% of Magnum  Hunter's 1996 Series A convertible
preferred stock at liquidation value, or $10 million, and to purchase up to $500
thousand of Magnum Hunter's common stock. Effective July 1, 2000, the commercial
banks set Bluebird's  borrowing base under its senior credit line at $41 million
with provision to reduce the borrowing base to $38.5 million effective  November
4, 2000. The bank agreement also provides that Bluebird may either re-market the
1996  Series A  convertible  preferred  stock or raise  additional  equity  in a
substantially  similar  amount  by  December  1,  2000.  Bluebird  is  currently
exploring  various ways to meet these financial  conditions or alternatives that
will be  satisfactory to all parties.  Additionally,  we believe that Bluebird's
commercial  banks will be willing to reestablish  its borrowing base to at least
the $41 million level based on reserve estimates as of June 30, 2000 provided by
Bluebird's  third party  engineering  consultants.  As of  September  30,  2000,
Bluebird's  borrowings  under the  senior  credit  line were $37.5  million.  We
believe  that this  bank  credit  line,  along  with cash flow from  operations,
provides Bluebird with sufficient liquidity to meet interest payments as well as
carry out its capital  spending  budget plans  through the remainder of 2000 and
through 2001.

                                       18

     MAGNUM HUNTER'S CAPITAL RESOURCES. Our borrowing base under our senior bank
credit line was $50 million at September 30, 2000 and our borrowings  under this
line were $31.5  million on that date.  On October  17,  2000,  ONEOK  Resources
Company  exercised  100% of their public warrant  shares  (3,174,600  shares) of
Magnum Hunter at an exercise price of $6.50 per share, resulting in net proceeds
to us of $20.6 million. This increased their ownership interest in Magnum Hunter
to approximately 38%. In addition,  another company exercised 450,000 restricted
common stock purchase  warrants of Magnum Hunter resulting in net proceeds to us
of $2.4  million.  We used the proceeds  from these two equity  transactions  to
reduce our borrowing  under our senior bank credit line. On October 26, 2000, we
announced the  redemption of all remaining  outstanding  public  warrants on the
redemption date of December 5, 2000. There are presently  outstanding a total of
7,337,550  warrants,  each  exercisable  for the purchase of one share of common
stock at the  exercise  price of $6.50 per  share.  If all of the  warrants  are
exercised,  we would realize net proceeds of approximately $47.7 million.  Under
an agreement we made with ONEOK  Resources  Company,  we promised to utilize the
first proceeds received from the exercise of any public warrants to redeem up to
25,000 shares, or 50%, of our 1999 Series A 8% convertible preferred stock owned
by ONEOK. If all 25,000 shares were redeemed,  we would pay ONEOK  approximately
$30.5  million,  which  includes  a  redemption  premium  of $5.5  million.  The
redemption premium would be treated as a dividend paid on preferred stock during
the fourth quarter of 2000. The net cash proceeds after  exercising the warrants
and redeeming the preferred stock would be used to further reduce our borrowings
under our senior bank credit line.

     BUDGETED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND LONG-TERM  FINANCING.  For the year 2000,
we have increased our capital  expenditure  budget to approximately  $65 million
from  the  previously  reported  $45  million  level.  The new  budget  includes
approximately  $41  million for  participation  in  exploration  projects in the
shallow  water  area of the  Gulf of  Mexico.  Most of the risk  capital  on the
offshore  program has already been  expended  earlier in the year and the larger
budget is specifically  dedicated for completion of wells and the fabrication of
production  platform  facilities  for  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  We are  currently
evaluating a capital  expenditures  budget for 2001.  Based upon our anticipated
production  levels and oil and gas  prices,  we believe  that our cash flow from
operations,  existing  working  capital and  availability  under our senior bank
credit  lines  will be  sufficient  to meet  interest  payments  and to fund the
current and expected capital expenditures budgets for 2000 and 2001.
