                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements have been prepared without audit as permitted by
the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and Exchange Commission.
Certain  information  and  footnote disclosures normally  included  in  the
financial statements have been  condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations.  However, the management  of  OMNI  Energy  Services Corp.
(the "Company") believes that this information is fairly presented.   These
unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements  contained  in
the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999 and "Management's Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  accompanying   unaudited  condensed
consolidated  financial statements contain all adjustments,  consisting  of
only  normal,  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  to  fairly  present  the
financial results for the interim periods presented.

Certain reclassifications  have  been  made  to  the prior year's financial
statements  in  order  to  conform  with  the classifications  adopted  for
reporting in fiscal 2000.

The Company has suffered recurring losses from  operations  and  has  a net
working  capital deficiency, including significant current debt maturities,
that raises  substantial  doubt  about  its  ability to continue as a going
concern. The terms of the Company's primary secured  credit  (see  Note  3)
agreements  contain,  among  other provisions, requirements for maintaining
defined levels of EBITDA, working  capital  and tangible net worth and cash
flow coverage.  Each agreement, including the  Company's subordinated notes
(see Note 3), contains cross-default provisions  for  these  covenants.  At
December  31,  1999  and  June  30,  2000, the Company was in violation  of
certain of its covenants under these agreements.   The Company has received
waivers  from  the  creditors via amendments to the loan  agreements  which
waived  financial  covenant  violations  through  September  30,  2000.  In
addition, approximately  $13  million  will  be due in September 2000.  The
Company does not have sufficient resources available  to  make the required
payments  in  September  2000 should the creditors require the  Company  to
repay the amounts due.

The  Company is attempting  to  refinance  its  current  credit  agreements
through a combination of new agreements with its current creditors or other
parties,  which  appropriately matches principal amortization with the cash
flow capabilities  of  the  assets  pledged.   In addition to attempting to
refinance  the  outstanding amounts due, the Company  is  evaluating  other
capital raising alternatives,  including  issuing additional equity capital
and the sale of operating assets or divisions.   In this regard, during the
second quarter of 2000, the Company's  discussions  with  a seismic company
regarding  a  possible  merger  transaction  were  discontinued  due  to an
inability  of  the  parties  to  reach  an  agreement on the terms, and the
Company  has  retained  Raymond  James  &  Associates  to assist in raising
additional equity capital for the Company.

The accompanying financial statements have  been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern.  The  financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability  and  classification
of  asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of  liabilities
that  might  result  should  the  Company  be unable to continue as a going
concern.

NOTE 2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  Earnings  Per Share (EPS) excludes dilution  and  is  determined  by
dividing income available  to  common  stockholders by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding  during the periods presented.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options and
other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock

The Company had 1,733,397 and 957,067 options outstanding  in  the quarters
ended  June  30,  1999 and 2000, respectively, that were excluded from  the
calculation of diluted EPS because of the antidilutive impact.  On the same
basis, warrants to  purchase 1,937,500 and 2,337,500 shares of common stock
were also excluded for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000.

NOTE 3.  LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company's primary  credit  facility is with Hibernia National Bank (the
"Hibernia Facility").  The Hibernia  Facility,  which  was amended June 12,
2000, currently provides the Company with a $8.5 million  term  loan  and a
$5.0   million   revolving  line  of  credit  to  finance  working  capital
requirements.  The  loans  bear  interest at prime plus 3% and have a final
maturity of September 30, 2000.  As  of  June  30,  2000,  the  Company had
approximately $13 million outstanding under the Hibernia Facility.

At  June  30,  2000,  the  Company  also had approximately $2.9 million  in
outstanding  debt  pursuant  to  agreements   with  The  CIT  Group  (CIT),
consisting of two asset-based financing loans (the  "CIT  Loans").   Of the
principal outstanding under the CIT Loans, approximately $2.3 million bears
interest  at  LIBOR plus 3.75% and matures on July 19, 2001.  The remaining
portion of the  CIT  Loans  bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.0% and matures in
September 2000.  These loans are collateralized by various seismic drilling
units, support equipment and aircraft.

See Note 1 for a discussion of  the  Company's compliance with certain loan
covenants under these agreements.

In the year ended December 31, 1999, the  Company  privately placed a total
of  $7.5  million  in  subordinated  debentures  with an affiliate  of  the
Company.  Notes with a principal of $5.0 million bear  interest  at 12% per
annum  and  mature  on March 1, 2004.  An additional $2.5 million of  notes
bear interest at 12.5% per annum until December 31, 1999, at which time the
rate will increase by  0.5%  per  month  not to exceed 20% per annum.  This
portion  of the notes matures on March 1, 2005, with interest payable March
1 of each year.  In connection with these debentures,  the  Company  issued
warrants to  purchase  up to 1,937,500 shares of the Company's common stock
at an exercise price of  $5.00,   $3.00  and  $2.00 per share for 1,600,000
shares,  300,000 shares and 37,500 shares, respectively.  The  warrants  in
relation to the 1,600,000 shares vest equally over four years commencing in
1999 until  2002,  unless  the  debentures are paid in full, in which case,
those warrants that have not become  exercisable  will  become  void.   All
warrants  that  become  exercisable  will  expire  on  March  1, 2004.  The
warrants  for the remaining 337,500 shares vest immediately and  expire  on
March 1, 2005.  The  fair  value  of  all  warrants is included as paid-in-
capital  and  the  effective  interest rate over  the  term  of  the  debt,
including  the  coupon  and the amortization  of  the  fair  value  of  the
warrants, is approximately  19%. In May and June 2000 the Company privately
placed  an  additional $0.4 million  and  $0.6  million,  respectively,  in
subordinated  debentures  with  an affiliate of the Company. The notes bear
interest at 12.5% per annum through  June  30, 2000, at which time the rate
increases by 0.5% per month not to exceed 20%  per annum.  The notes mature
on June 1, 2005 and July 1, 2005, respectively,  with interest payable July
1  of each year. In connection with these debentures,  the  Company  issued
warrants  to purchase up to 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
an exercise  price  of  $1.50, which vest immediately and expire on July 1,
2005.  The  amount  of the notes  included  in  subordinated  debt  in  the
accompanying balance sheet at June 30, 2000 is $8.2 million.

In  July  2000  the  Company privately placed approximately $0.3 million in
subordinated  debentures  with an affiliate of the Company.  The note bears
interest  at  12.5%  per  annum until July 31, 2000, at which time the rate
will  increase  by  0.5%  per month not to exceed 20% per annum.  This note
matures  on  August 1, 2005, with interest payable July 1 of each year.  In
connection  with  this  debenture,  the Company issued warrants to purchase
up  to  333,333  shares  of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of  $0.75.  The  warrants  vest  immediately  and expire on August 1, 2005.
In   addition,   in  July  2000  the  Company  entered  into  a  series  of
transactions  with  an  affiliate  that enabled the Company to factor, with
recourse  to  the  Company, substantially all of the trade receivables of a
major  customer totaling  approximately  $1.0  million,  which  had  become
ineligible  under  the  terms  of  the  Company's revolving credit facility
with  Hibernia  National Bank.  These transactions included the forgiveness
of $1.0 million  in  principal  on the oldest subordinated debt owed by the
Company   to  the  affiliate  in  exchange  for  the  Company  transferring
ownership rights and  title  to the affiliate of approximately $1.0 million
in  trade  receivables of the major customer.  Contemporaneously therewith,
the  Company  placed  $1.0  million  in  new  subordinated  debt  with  the
affiliate.   The  Company  incurred a fixed interest rate charge of 1.5% on
the  $1.0 million  in  principal  advanced  against the  trade  receivables
transferred  and  will  incur  interest  at the prime rate of interest plus
two  percentage  points  on  the balance outstanding until such time as the
trade  receivables  have  been  fully  paid  by  the  major  customer.  The
Company  has  guaranteed  repayment  of  the  trade receivables and expects
that  the  trade  receivables will be fully collected by the end of October
2000.   The  subordinated  note  bears  interest  at  12.5% per annum until
July  31,  2000,  at  which  time the rate will increase by 0.5% per month,
not  to  exceed  20%  per annum.  This note matures on August 1, 2005, with
interest  payable  July 1 of each year.  In connection with this debenture,
the  Company  issued  warrants  to  purchase  up to 1,333,333 shares of the
Company's  common  stock  at an exercise price of $0.75.  The warrants vest
immediately and expire on August 1, 2005.


NOTE 4. PREFERRED STOCK SUBSCRIPTION

In December 1999 and February and April 2000,  the Company received from an
affiliate of the Company $1,000,000,  $500,000, and $350,000, respectively,
pursuant  to  preferred  stock  subscription  agreements  for  an aggregate
of 1,850 shares of preferred stock that was issued on April 26,  2000.  The
Company  issued  an  additional  300  shares  of the preferred stock to the
affiliate in May 2000 for $300,000.  The funds were used  for  debt service
and to fund operations.  The preferred stock has  an 8% cumulative dividend
rate, is  convertible  into common stock with an initial conversion rate of
$2.50,  is  redeemable  at  the  option  of the Company at par plus  unpaid
dividends,  contains  a  liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and has
voting rights only with respect to matters that would reduce the ranking of
the stock compared to other classes  of  stock.


NOTE 5.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")  issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires an entity  to  report
and  display comprehensive income and its components.  Comprehensive income
is as follows (thousands of dollars):

NOTE 7.  RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In  June  1998,  the  FASB  issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging Activities,"  which  established  accounting  and
reporting standards  that  every  derivative  instrument be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value.
In June 1999, the FASB delayed SFAS No. 133's effective date by one year to
fiscal  years  beginning  after  June  15, 2000, with  earlier  application
permitted. Management believes the implementation  of SFAS No. 133 will not
have a material effect on its results of operations  or financial statement
disclosures as the Company historically has not used these instruments.

NOTE 8.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company's accounts receivable includes unsecured amounts of approximately
$3.0 million from two customers who have recently filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy.  The Company currently has specific reserves totaling
approximately $3.0 million related to those receivables. The receivable and
the reserve offset each other in the net accounts receivable number presented
on the balance sheet.

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

     Management's Discussion  and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of  Operations  contains certain  "forward  looking  statements"  within  the
meaning of Section  27A  of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act")
and Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"),
which reflect management's best judgment  based  on  factors currently known.
Actual  results  could  differ  materially  from those anticipated  in  these
"forward looking statements" as a result of a  number  of  factors, including
but not limited to those discussed under the heading "Cautionary Statements."
"Forward  looking statements" provided by the Company pursuant  to  the  safe
harbor established  by the federal securities laws should be evaluated in the
context of these factors.

     This discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  financial
statements  and  the  accompanying  notes  and  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis  of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included  in  the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

GENERAL

     DEMAND.   Demand  for  the Company's services is principally impacted by
conditions affecting geophysical  companies engaged in the acquisition of 3-D
seismic data.  The level of activity among geophysical companies is primarily
influenced by the level of capital  expenditures by oil and gas companies for
seismic data acquisition activities.  A number of factors affect the decision
of oil and gas companies to pursue the acquisition of seismic data, including
(i) prevailing and expected oil and gas  demand  and prices; (ii) the cost of
exploring  for,  producing  and developing oil and gas  reserves;  (iii)  the
discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves; (iv) the availability and cost of
permits and consents from landowners  to  conduct seismic activity; (v) local
and  international  political  and  economic  conditions;  (vi)  governmental
regulations; and (vii) the availability and cost  of capital.  The ability to
finance  the  acquisition  of  seismic data in the absence  of  oil  and  gas
companies' interest in obtaining  the  information  is  also a factor as some
geophysical companies will acquire seismic data on a speculative basis.

     Within  the  last  decade,  improvements  in  drilling  and   production
techniques and the acceptance of 3-D imaging as an exploration tool  resulted
in  significantly increased seismic activity throughout the Transition  Zone.
Due to  this  increased  demand,  the  Company  significantly  increased  its
capacity,  primarily  through  acquisition,  as  measured  by drilling units,
support  equipment  and  employees.   The  additional  capacity  and  related
increase in work force led to significant increases in the Company's  revenue
and  generally  commensurate  increases  in  operating  expenses and selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses  through the second quarter  of  1998.
Beginning in mid-1998, seismic activity in  the  areas  in  which the Company
operates  decreased substantially, resulting in corresponding  reductions  in
demand  for   the  Company's  services  and  adversely  affected  results  of
operations.  For the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, the Company's
operating revenues  and loss from continuing operations were $7.1 million and
$1.4 million, and $4.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

     The Company curtailed its expansion strategy in the last half of 1998 in
response to industry  conditions  and  the short-term outlook.  Management is
continuing its efforts to adjust to  current market  conditions by downsizing
its  operations.  In  November 1999, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of
its  aviation division; the Company is continuing to pursue this disposition.
During  1999,  the  Company  requested  and received from its primary secured
creditors  reductions  in  principal  payments  and  extension of maturities,
initially until March 31, 2000 and subsequently until September 30, 2000.  In
addition, as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company was  not  in
compliance with certain  financial  covenants of the Company's long-term debt
agreements.   The  Company  obtained  waivers  of  these  covenant violations
through   September  30,  2000.   Management   is   continuing   to   explore
opportunities for  restructuring  its  indebtedness and alternative financing
and  capital opportunities.

     SEASONALITY AND WEATHER RISKS. Results of operations for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative  of the operating results that may be expected
for the full fiscal year.  The Company's  operations  are subject to seasonal
variations  in  weather conditions and daylight hours.  Since  the  Company's
activities take place  outdoors,  on average, fewer hours are worked per day,
aviation  flight  hours decline and fewer  holes  are  generally  drilled  or
surveyed per day in  winter  months than in summer months, due to an increase
in rainy, foggy, and cold conditions and a decrease in daylight hours.

<PAGE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000  COMPARED  TO  THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1999

     Operating revenues decreased 81%, or $5.6 million,  from  $7.1 million
for  the  three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to $1.4 million for the  three
months  ended June 30, 2000.   As  a  result  of  the  decline  in  seismic
activity,  drilling revenues decreased $3.7 million to $1.4 million for the
three months  ended June 30, 2000; likewise, survey revenues decreased 100%
from the three  months  ended  June  30,  1999  to $0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000.

     Operating expenses decreased 70%, or $6.0 million,  from  $8.6 million
for  the  three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to $2.6 million for the  three
months ended June 30, 2000.  Declines in payroll costs accounted for 70% of
this decrease as operating  payroll  expense decreased from $5.2 million to
$1.0 million for the quarters ended June  30,  1999 and 2000, respectively.
The   significant  decrease  in  seismic  activity  has   resulted   in   a
corresponding  decrease in the amount of personnel employed by the Company,
as the average number  of  field employees has declined to 97 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 compared  to 201 for the three months ended June
30, 1999.  Also as a result of the lower  activity  levels  in  the  second
quarter  of 2000 as compared to the second quarter of 1999, explosives  and
supplies,  and repairs and maintenance expenses decreased $0.5 million each
from $0.6 million  to $0.1 million each for the three months ended June 30,
1999 and 2000, respectively.

     Gross profit margins  were  (22)% and (86)% for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.   The  variance  is  attributable  to
substantially  lower  domestic  revenues relative to the fixed costs of the
Company's Drilling segment, as well  as limited activity from the Company's
South American operations.

     General and administrative expenses  decreased  $1.5 million from $2.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.1  million  for  the
three  months ended June 30, 2000, a 58% decrease.  Payroll costs decreased
$1.0 million  from  $1.4  million  for  the  second quarter of 1999 to $0.4
million for the second quarter of 2000.  These  decreases are due primarily
to lower personnel levels as the average number of administrative employees
declined to 28 for the three months ended June 30,  2000,  from  74 for the
three   months   ended   June  30,  1999.  Travel  and  entertainment,  and
communications and utilities  expenses  decreased  $0.1  million each, from
$0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $0.1  million each
for  the  three  months  ended June 30, 2000, due to the decreased activity
levels.

     Interest expense decreased  $0.1  million  from  $0.8  million for the
three month period ended June 30, 1999 to $0.7 million for the  three month
period ended June 30, 2000, due to lower average levels of debt outstanding
during the periods.

     Due  to  the  loss  for  the  period  ended June 30, 1999, the Company
recorded an income tax benefit of $1.0 million.    The Company continued to
record a valuation allowance during the period ended  June 30, 2000 against
the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

     Operating revenues decreased 62%, or $8.9 million,  from $14.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.6 million for  the  six months
ended  June  30,  2000.   As  a  result of the decline in seismic activity,
drilling and survey revenues decreased  $6.3  million  to  $4.4 million and
$0.5 million to $1.2 million, respectively, for the six months  ended  June
30,  2000.  The Company's South American joint venture had revenues of $2.4
million  for  the  six  months  ended  June 30, 1999; there were no similar
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

     Operating expenses decreased 50%, or  $7.5 million, from $15.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $7.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000.  Declines in payroll costs  accounted  for 67% of this
decrease as operating payroll expense decreased from $8.4 million  to  $3.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The
significant  decrease  in  seismic activity has resulted in a corresponding
decrease in the amount of personnel employed by the Company, as the average
number of field employees has declined to 139 for the six months ended June
30, 2000 compared to 203 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Also as a
result of the lower activity  levels  in the first half of 2000 as compared
to  the  first  half  of  1999,  explosives and  fuel  costs,  repairs  and
maintenance expenses, rentals and  leases, and insurance expenses decreased
$1.8 million from $3.5 million to $1.7  million  for  the  six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

     Gross profit margins were (4)% and (34)% for the six months ended June
30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The variance is primarily attributable to
substantially lower domestic revenues relative to the fixed  costs  of  the
Company's Drilling segment.

     General  and  administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million from $4.9
million for the six  months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.5 million for the six
months ended June 30,  2000,  a 49% decrease.  Payroll costs decreased $1.4
million from $2.5 million for the  first  half  of 1999 to $1.1 million for
the  first  half  of  2000.   These decreases are due  primarily  to  lower
personnel levels as the average number of administrative employees declined
to 30 for the six months ended  June  30,  2000, from 76 for the six months
ended  June 30, 1999. Travel and entertainment,  rentals  and  leases,  and
communications  and  utilities  expenses  decreased $0.2 million each, from
$0.3 million each for the six months ended  June  30,  1999 to $0.1 million
each for the six months ended June 30, 2000, due to the  decreased activity
levels.

     Interest expense increased $0.1 million from $1.3 million  for the six
month  period ended June 30, 1999 to $1.4 million for the six month  period
ended June  30,  2000,  due  to  increased  interest  rates  charged by the
Company's primary lender.

     Due  to  the  loss  for the six month period ended June 30, 1999,  the
Company recorded an income  tax  benefit  of  $1.6  million.    The Company
continued to record a valuation allowance during the six month period ended
June 30, 2000 against the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The  Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and  has  a
net  working   capital   deficiency,  including  significant  current  debt
maturities, that raises substantial  doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. The terms of the Company's credit facilities with Hibernia
National Bank (the "Hibernia Facility")  and the CIT Group ("CIT") contain,
among  other  provisions, requirements for maintaining  defined  levels  of
EBITDA, working  capital  and  tangible  net  worth and cash flow coverage.
Each agreement, including the Company's subordinated notes, contains cross-
default provisions for these covenants.  At June  30, 2000, the Company was
in  violation  of  certain  of its covenants under these  agreements.   The
Company has received waivers  from  Hibernia  and CIT via amendments to the
loan  agreements  which  waived  financial  covenant   violations   through
September 30, 2000 and extended maturities through September 30, 2000.  The
Company  does  not have sufficient resources available to make the required
payments in September  2000  should  its  creditors  require the Company to
repay the amounts due upon maturity.

     The Company is attempting to refinance its current  credit  agreements
through a combination of new agreements with its current creditors or other
parties,  which  appropriately matches principal amortization with the cash
flow capabilities  of  the  assets  pledged.   In addition to attempting to
refinance  the  outstanding amounts due, the Company  is  evaluating  other
capital raising alternatives,  including  issuing additional equity capital
and the sale of operating assets or divisions.   In this regard, during the
second quarter of 2000, the Company's  discussions  with  a seismic company
regarding  a  possible  merger  transaction  were  discontinued  due  to an
inability  of  the  parties  to  reach  an  agreement on the terms, and the
Company  has  retained  Raymond  James  &  Associates  to assist in raising
additional equity capital for the Company.

     At June  30,  2000,  the  Company  had  approximately  $0.3 million cash
balance  compared  to approximately $0.1 million at December 31,  1999.   The
Company had a $(12.2)  million  working  capital  deficit  at  June 30, 2000,
compared  to  $(9.8) million at December 31, 1999.  The decrease  in  working
capital is also due to decreases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and
net assets of discontinued operations.

<PAGE>

     The Company's  primary  credit  facility  is the Hibernia Facility.  The
Hibernia  Facility, which was amended in June 2000,  currently  provides  the
Company with  a  $8.5  million term loan and a $5.0 million revolving line of
credit to finance working  capital  requirements.  The loans bear interest at
prime plus 3% and have a final maturity  of  September  30, 2000.  As of June
30, 2000, the Company had approximately $13.0 million outstanding  under  the
Hibernia Facility.

     At  June  30,  2000,  the Company also has approximately $2.9 million in
outstanding debt pursuant to  agreements  with  CIT, consisting of two asset-
based financing loans.  Of the principal outstanding  under  the  CIT  Loans,
approximately $2.3 million bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.75% and matures  on
July 19, 2001.  The remaining portion of the CIT Loans bear interest at LIBOR
plus  3.0%  and  mature in September 2000.  These loans are collateralized by
various seismic drilling units, support equipment and aircraft.

     In the year ended  December  31,  1999,  the  Company privately placed a
total of $7.5 million in subordinated debentures with  an  affiliate  of  the
Company.   Notes  with  a  principal of $5.0 million bear interest at 12% per
annum and mature on March 1,  2004.  An additional $2.5 million of notes bear
interest at 12.5% per annum until  December  31, 1999, at which time the rate
increases by 0.5% per month not to exceed 20% per annum.  This portion of the
notes mature on March 1, 2005, with interest payable  March  1  of each year.
In connection with these debentures, the Company issued warrants  to purchase
up to 1,937,500 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise  price of
$5.00,   $3.00  and $2.00 per share for 1,600,000 shares, 300,000 shares  and
37,500 shares, respectively. The warrants in relation to the 1,600,000 shares
vest equally over  four  years  commencing  in  1999  until  2002, unless the
debentures  are  paid  in full, in which case, those warrants that  have  not
become exercisable will  become  void.   All warrants that become exercisable
will expire on March 1, 2004.  The warrants  for the remaining 337,500 shares
vest immediately and expire on March 1, 2005.  The fair value of all warrants
is included as paid-in-capital and the effective  interest rate over the term
of the debt, including the coupon and the amortization  of  the fair value of
the  warrants,  is  approximately  19%.   In  May  and June 2000 the  Company
privately placed an additional $0.4 million and $0.6  million,  respectively,
in subordinated debentures with an affiliate of the Company. The  notes  bear
interest  at  12.5%  per  annum through June 30, 2000, at which time the rate
increases by 0.5% per month not to exceed 20% per annum.  The notes mature on
June 1, 2005 and July 1, 2005,  respectively, with interest payable July 1 of
each year. In connection with these  debentures,  the Company issued warrants
to purchase up to 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $1.50, which vest immediately and expire on July 1, 2005. The amount
of the notes included in subordinated debt in the accompanying  balance sheet
at June 30, 2000 is $8.2 million.

In  July  2000  the  Company privately placed approximately $0.3 million in
subordinated  debentures  with an affiliate of the Company.  The note bears
interest  at  12.5%  per  annum until July 31, 2000, at which time the rate
will  increase  by  0.5%  per month not to exceed 20% per annum.  This note
matures  on  August 1, 2005, with interest payable July 1 of each year.  In
connection  with  this  debenture,  the Company issued warrants to purchase
up  to  333,333  shares  of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of  $0.75.  The  warrants  vest  immediately  and expire on August 1, 2005.
In   addition,   in  July  2000  the  Company  entered  into  a  series  of
transactions  with  an  affiliate  that enabled the Company to factor, with
recourse  to  the  Company, substantially all of the trade receivables of a
major  customer  totaling  approximately  $1.0 million,  which  had  become
ineligible  under  the  terms  of  the  Company's revolving credit facility
with  Hibernia  National Bank.  These transactions included the forgiveness
of $1.0 million  in  principal  on the oldest subordinated debt owed by the
Company   to  the  affiliate  in  exchange  for  the  Company  transferring
ownership rights and  title  to the affiliate of approximately $1.0 million
in  trade  receivables of the major customer.  Contemporaneously therewith,
the  Company  placed  $1.0  million  in  new  subordinated  debt  with  the
affiliate.   The  Company  incurred a fixed interest rate charge of 1.5% on
the $1.0 million  in  principal  advanced  against  the  trade  receivables
transferred  and  will  incur  interest  at the prime rate of interest plus
two  percentage  points  on  the balance outstanding until such time as the
trade  receivables  have  been  fully  paid  by  the  major  customer.  The
Company  has  guaranteed  repayment  of  the  trade receivables and expects
that  the  trade  receivables will be fully collected by the end of October
2000.   The  subordinated  note  bears  interest  at  12.5% per annum until
July  31,  2000,  at  which  time the rate will increase by 0.5% per month,
not  to  exceed  20%  per annum.  This note matures on August 1, 2005, with
interest  payable  July 1 of each year.  In connection with this debenture,
the  Company  issued  warrants  to  purchase  up to 1,333,333 shares of the
Company's  common  stock  at an exercise price of $0.75.  The warrants vest
immediately and expire on August 1, 2005.

     In December 1999 and February  and April 2000, the Company received from
an   affiliate   of  the  Company  $1,000,000,    $500,000,   and   $350,000,
respectively,  pursuant  to  preferred  stock  subscription agreements for an
aggregate  of  1,850  shares  of preferred stock that was issued on April 26,
2000.   The Company issued an additional 300 shares of the preferred stock to
the affiliate in May 2000 for $300,000.  The funds were used for debt service
and  to fund operations.  The  preferred stock has an 8% cumulative  dividend
rate,  is  convertible  into  common stock with an initial conversion rate of
$2.50,  is  redeemable  at  the  option  of  the  Company  at par plus unpaid
dividends,  contains  a  liquidation preference of  $1,000  per share and has
voting rights only with respect  to matters  that would reduce the ranking of
the stock compared to other classes of stock.


     The Company currently expects  minimal  capital  expenditures  for the
remainder of 2000.
