                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
                        CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by Zapata Corporation ("Zapata" or the "Company"), without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to fairly present such information. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature. Although Zapata believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain
information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant
accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in Zapata's 2001 Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of
operations for the periods from January 1, 2002 to March 31, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire
fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Zapata Corporation is a holding company which currently operates in the food
segment through its 61% owned subsidiary, Omega Protein Corporation ("Omega
Protein" or "Omega"), which is the nation's largest marine protein company. In
addition, Zapata holds approximately 98% of the outstanding stock of Zap.Com
Corporation ("Zap.Com"), which is currently a public shell corporation.

Omega Protein produces and markets a variety of products produced from menhaden
(herring-like fish found in commercial quantities in the U.S. coastal waters of
the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico) including regular grade and value added
specialty fish meals, crude and refined fish oils and fish solubles. Omega's
fish meal products are used as nutritional feed additives by animal feed
manufacturers and by commercial livestock producers. Omega operates its own
fleet of fishing vessels as well as four processing plants. Omega's crude fish
oil is sold primarily to food producers in Europe, and its refined fish oil
products, which are high in nutritionally desirable Omega-3 fatty acids, are
used in a variety of foods for human consumption, as well as in aquaculture
feeds and certain industrial applications. Fish solubles are sold as protein
additives for animal feed and as organic fertilizers. Omega Protein is engaged
in the marine protein business and its stock is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "OME."

Zap.Com was in the Internet industry and its stock is traded on the
over-the-counter market on the NASD's OTC Electronic Bulletin Board under the
symbol "ZPCM." In December 2000, the Zap.Com Board of Directors concluded that
Zap.Com's operations were not likely to become profitable in the foreseeable
future and, therefore, it was in the best interest of Zap.Com and its
stockholders to cease all Internet operations. Since that date, Zap.Com has
terminated all salaried employees, all signed agreements with web site owners
who joined the ZapNetwork, and all third party contractual relationships entered
into in connection with its Internet business.

Inventory at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is stated at the lower of cost
or market. The elements of cost include plant and vessel related labor,
utilities, rent, repairs and depreciation.

NOTE 3. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS, AVAILABLE FOR SALE

As of March 31, 2002, the Company held available for sale securities with a
total cost of approximately $9.0 million, market value of approximately $8.9
million and an unrealized loss of $48,000, which is reflected as a component of
other comprehensive income, net of tax. These investment grade securities are
obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank, an agency of the U.S. Government. The
Company held no long-term investments as of December 31, 2001.

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION

A non-operating wholly-owned subsidiary of Zapata, Energy Industries, Inc., was
named as a defendant in three cases commenced in 1996 and 1997 pending in the
83rd Judicial District Court of Upton County, Texas involving the death of one
individual and personal injuries to two others. The cases resulted from an
explosion and fire at a gas processing plant in Upton County caused by the
failure of a valve cover. Zapata was named as a defendant in one of the cases.
The owners of the plant have also filed a cross-claim against Energy Industries
for property damage and lost profits resulting from the explosion and fire.
Plaintiffs and the cross-plaintiff owners base their claim on a theory of
manufacturing or design defect of the valve cover. Plaintiffs seek compensatory
damages. Zapata and Energy Industries deny liability in each of the lawsuits,
and have vigorously contested these matters and intend to vigorously defend
against these actions. In January 2002, Zapata's primary insurance carrier for
these lawsuits, for the first time, notified it that it did not believe that
Zapata and Energy Industries had primary insurance coverage for the losses
arising out of these incidents. The insurance carrier had been providing for the
defense of these actions and had not reserved its rights with respect to that
defense. Although the insurance carrier has disclaimed any obligation to
indemnify Zapata or Energy Industries, it has agreed to continue providing a
defense. Zapata has disputed the assertion that there is no primary insurance
coverage. A loss of primary insurance coverage could jeopardize excess coverage
that Zapata or Energy Industries has for these claims. These cases involve
plaintiffs with very serious injuries, including death. While the results of any
ultimate resolution of these lawsuits cannot be predicted, in the opinion of the
Company's management, based upon discussions with defense counsel, any losses
resulting from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on Zapata's
results of operations, cash flow or financial position.

Zapata is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its past and
current operations in the normal course of business. Zapata maintains insurance
coverage against such potential ordinary course claims in an amount in which it
believes to be adequate. While the results of any ultimate resolution cannot be
predicted, in the opinion of Zapata's management, based upon discussions with
counsel, any losses resulting from these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on Zapata's results of operations, cash flow or financial
position.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company is subject to various possible claims and lawsuits regarding
environmental matters. Management believes that costs, if any, related to these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations,
cash flows or financial position of the Company.

NOTE 5. CONTRACT TERMINATION SETTLEMENT

Based on the Board resolution to terminate Internet operations, certain
contracts entered into by the Company during its development stage were deemed
to have no future value to the company. Accordingly, the Company recognized the
expenses and associated accrued liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2000. In
March of 2001, the Company favorably settled its disputes over two of its
contracts. The Company reversed previous accruals of $403,000 as income
resulting from the settlement amounts being less than the associated accrued
liabilities.

NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE INFORMATION

Basic EPS was computed by dividing reported earnings (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the
quarter. Options to purchase 110,754 common shares at a weighted average price
of $46.81 per share were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2002,
but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS since the exercise price
of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares
for the period. Options to purchase 100 common shares at a weighted average
price of $16.88 were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
were not included in the diluted EPS calculation as the effect would be
antidilutive due to the net loss.

NOTE 7. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The components of other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2002 and
2001 are as follows:

NOTE 8. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations" and
No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that all
business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method only and that
certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized as
assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that ratable amortization of
goodwill be replaced with periodic tests of the goodwill's impairment and that
intangible assets other than goodwill be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS
No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001, and the provisions of SFAS No. 142 are effective for all fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company's adoption of the provisions of
SFAS No. 141 and 142 on January 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or its results of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires that obligations associated with the
retirement of a tangible long-lived asset to be recorded as a liability when
those obligations are incurred, with the amount of the liability initially
measured at fair value. Upon initially recognizing a liability for an asset
retirement obligation, an entity must capitalize the cost by recognizing an
increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the
liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost
is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the
liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or
incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 will be
required to be adopted by the Company in Fiscal 2003. The Company has not
determined what impact, if any, this statement will have on the Company's
financial position or its results of operations.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses the accounting model for
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and resulting implementation issues.
This statement requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing
operations or in discontinued operations. This statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
The

Company's adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or its results of
operations.

NOTE 9. INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Prior to the sale of the Company's investment in the common stock of Viskase
Corporation ("Viskase"), the sale of Charged Productions, Inc. ("Charged") and
Zap.Com's discontinuance of its Internet operations, Zapata primarily operated
in two industry segments: the Food segment, consisting of Omega Protein and
Viskase and the Internet segment, consisting of Charged and Zap.Com.

Since the sale of Viskase, the food segment information has consisted
exclusively of Omega Protein. Costs incurred during 2001 related to Zap.Com and
Charged were primarily associated with wind-down and reporting activities.
Accordingly, these costs were included within the Company's Internet segment for
2001. As of January 1, 2002, all activity related to Zap.Com is reported as a
separate segment.

The following summarizes certain financial information of each segment for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001:

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

Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q, future filings by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), the Company's press
releases and oral statements by authorized officers of the Company are intended
to be subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation those identified
from time to time in press releases and other communications with stockholders
by the Company and the filings made with the Commission by the Company, Omega
Protein Corporation ("Omega Protein" or "Omega") and Zap.Com Corporation
("Zap.Com"), such as those disclosed under the caption "Significant Factors That
Could Affect Future Performance and Forward-Looking Statements" appearing in
Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Commission or elsewhere in this report.
The Company believes that forward-looking statements made by it are based on
reasonable expectations. However, no assurances can be given that actual results
will not differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking
statements.

GENERAL

Zapata Corporation is a holding company which currently operates in the food
segment through its 61% owned subsidiary, Omega Protein Corporation ("Omega
Protein" or "Omega"), which is the nation's largest marine protein company. In
addition, Zapata holds approximately 98% of the outstanding stock of Zap.Com
Corporation ("Zap.Com"), which is currently a public shell corporation.

Omega Protein produces and markets a variety of products produced from menhaden
(herring-like fish found in commercial quantities in the U.S. coastal waters of
the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico) including regular grade and value added
specialty fish meals, crude and refined fish oils and fish solubles. Omega's
fish meal products are used as nutritional feed additives by animal feed
manufacturers and by commercial livestock producers. Omega operates its own
fleet of fishing vessels as well as four processing plants. Omega's crude fish
oil is sold primarily to food producers in Europe, and its refined fish oil
products, which are high in nutritionally desirable Omega-3 fatty acids, are
used in a variety of foods for human consumption, as well as in aquaculture
feeds and certain industrial applications. Fish solubles are sold as protein
additives for animal feed and as organic fertilizers. Omega Protein is engaged
in the marine protein business and its stock is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "OME."

Zap.Com was in the Internet industry and its stock is traded on the
over-the-counter market on the NASD's OTC Electronic Bulletin Board under the
symbol "ZPCM." In December 2000, the Zap.Com Board of Directors concluded that
Zap.Com's operations were not likely to become profitable in the foreseeable
future and, therefore, it was in the best interest of Zap.Com and its
stockholders to cease all Internet operations. Since that date, Zap.Com has
terminated all salaried employees, all signed agreements with web site owners
who joined the ZapNetwork, and all third party contractual relationships entered
into in connection with its Internet business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001

Zapata experienced consolidated net income of approximately $1.2 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to net loss of approximately $1.2 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, Zapata's consolidated
revenues increased approximately 23% from the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The
revenue increase was primarily due to higher sales prices of 18% and 79% for
Omega Protein Corporation's fish meal and fish oil, respectively. Omega
attributes the higher fish meal and fish oil prices to strong worldwide demand
for protein meal and competing oil markets rebounding from historic low levels.

Cost of Revenues. Zapata's consolidated cost of revenues for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 was $16.9 million, a $1.1 million decrease from $18.0 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Cost of sales primarily includes Omega
Protein's direct fishing and processing costs. As a percent of revenues, cost of
sales was 72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 as compared to 95% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in cost of sales as a


                                       10

<PAGE>
percentage of revenues was primarily due to higher sales prices of 18% and 79%
for Omega's fish meal and fish oil, respectively. Manufacturing costs remained
relatively unchanged between the quarters.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Zapata's consolidated selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $148,000 or 5% compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to Omega Protein's
increases in uncollectible accounts receivables, advertising expenses and
employee related costs, partially offset by the decrease in expenses associated
with the termination of the Company's Internet operations.

Contract Termination Settlement. There were no contract termination settlements
in the quarter ended March 31, 2002. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001,
Zap.Com favorably settled disputes over two of its contracts which had been
reserved for in the fourth quarter of 2000 in connection with the termination of
Internet operations. Accordingly, Zap.Com reversed previous accruals of $403,000
as income resulting from the settlement amounts being less than the associated
accrued liabilities.

Interest Income, Net. Interest income decreased by $773,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The
decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates on cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments as compared to the previous quarter.

Realized loss on non-investment grade securities. The Company did not incur any
realized losses on non-investment grade securities for the quarter ended March
31, 2002. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, Zapata had other than temporary
write-downs related to investments in the corporate debt of Franks Nursery &
Crafts, Inc. ("Franks") and Decora Industries, Inc. ("Decora"). Management
deemed the decline in the fair value of the Company's investments in Franks and
Decora to be "other than temporary" following both companies' announcements that
they had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In
connection with these impairments, the Company recognized a loss of
approximately $917,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Prior to Omega Protein's 1998 initial public offering, Zapata, as the sole
stockholder of Omega Protein, caused cash to be moved between it and Omega
Protein as each company had cash needs. As a result of the offering, Zapata and
Omega Protein are now separate public companies. Similarly, since Zapata's
distribution of Zap.Com shares to Zapata stockholders in November 1999, Zapata
and Zap.Com are separate public companies. Accordingly, the capital resources
and liquidity of Omega Protein and Zap.Com are legally independent of Zapata.
The working capital and other assets of Omega Protein and Zap.Com are dedicated
to their respective operations and are not expected to be readily available for
the general corporate purposes of Zapata, except for any dividends that may be
declared and paid to their respective stockholders. For the foreseeable future,
Zapata does not expect to receive cash dividends on its Omega Protein or Zap.Com
shares.

Zapata's current source of liquidity is its cash, cash equivalents and
investments and the interest income it earns on its investments. Zapata expects
these assets to continue to be a source of liquidity until it effects an
acquisition. Zapata's investments consist of U.S. Government agency securities
and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2002, the Company's cash, cash equivalents
and U.S. Government agency securities were $102.9 million (including $30.1
million attributable to Omega Protein) as compared to $96.4 million (including
$21.8 million attributable to Omega Protein) as of December 31, 2001. The
increase in Zapata Corporation's cash, cash equivalents and U.S. Government
agency securities was mainly attributable to increased cash balances at Omega
Protein, partially offset by cash paid for operating expenses at the Corporate
level.

Through June 2000, Zapata had invested its excess cash reserves in U.S.
Government agency securities and cash equivalents. In June 2000, Zapata
management believed that the non-investment grade debt market provided an
opportunity for the Company to meet the funding requirements of its Internet
business and corporate overhead activities while leveraging its available funds
for future acquisitions. Specifically, Zapata management believed that this debt
would yield sufficient income to support its direct operations and free-up
capital otherwise committed for this purpose for deployment in future
acquisitions. Based on the Company's decision to terminate its Internet
operations and adverse non-investment grade market conditions, management
decided to sell its non-investment grade securities during the second and third
quarters of 2001. These sales resulted in losses from which the Company expects
to receive a tax refund of approximately $7.9 million during 2002. Also in 2001,
the Company


                                       11

<PAGE>
sold its investment in Viskase and expects to receive an associated tax refund
of approximately $8.4 million during 2002.

In addition to its cash, cash equivalents, investments and interest income,
Zapata has a potential secondary source of liquidity in its publicly traded
securities of Omega Protein and Zap.Com. Zapata's holdings of Omega Protein and
Zap.Com stock constitute "restricted stock" under SEC Rule 144 and may only be
sold in the public market pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933 and under any required state securities laws or
pursuant to an available exemption. These and other securities law restrictions
could prevent or delay any sale by Zapata of these securities or reduce the
amount of proceeds that might otherwise be realized therefrom.

Currently, all of Zapata's equity securities holdings are eligible for sale
under Rule 144. Zapata also has demand and piggyback registration rights for its
Omega Protein and Zap.Com shares and Zapata has registered with the SEC for
resale 1,000,000 shares of Zap.Com common stock. As of the date of this report,
it has not sold any of its Zap.Com shares and there is no assurance that it will
or can sell these shares. Although Zap.Com is publicly traded, the market for
its shares has to date been thin.

At March 31, 2002, Zapata had $16.5 million in consolidated indebtedness, all of
which was Omega Protein's indebtedness. Zapata has not guaranteed nor otherwise
agreed to be liable for the repayment of this debt.

Zapata's liquidity needs are primarily for operating expenses, litigation and
insurance reserves, possible stock repurchases and acquisitions. Zapata also
intends to invest a significant portion of its cash assets in operating
businesses as soon as practicable. To pay for or fund these acquisitions, Zapata
may need to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt.
There is no assurance, however, that such capital will be available at the time,
in the amounts necessary or with terms satisfactory to Zapata.

The following tables summarizes information about Zapata's consolidated
contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments (in thousands) as
of March 31, 2002 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its
consolidated liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

(1)   As of March 31, 2002, Omega had no outstanding borrowings outstanding
      under the $20.0 million Credit Facility.

Because Zapata does not guarantee or otherwise assume any liability for Omega
Protein or Zap.Com or have any investment commitments to either Omega Protein or
Zap.Com, it is useful to separately review the cash obligations of Zapata
exclusive of Omega and Zap.Com ("Zapata Corporate"). The following table
summarizes information about Zapata Corporate's contractual cash obligations (in
thousands) as of March 31, 2001, and the effects such obligations are expected
to have on Zapata Corporate's liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

Zapata's management believes that these liabilities have no material impact on
Zapata Corporate's liquidity and capital resources. As of the date of this
report, Zapata Corporate had no other commercial commitments which may impact
its capital resources and liquidity.

In the absence of unforeseen developments, Zapata believes that it has
sufficient liquidity to fund its operating expenses and other operational
requirements at least for the 12 months following the date of this report.

</TABLE>


Net cash provided by operating activities

Consolidated cash provided by operating activities increased slightly during the
three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. The modest increase was primarily due to Omega Protein's generation of net
income during the quarter.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities

Consolidated cash used in investing activities decreased during the three months
ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Variations in Zapata Corporate's net cash (used in) provided by investing
activities are typically the result of the change in the mix of cash and cash
equivalents and short and long-term investments during the period. All highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents and all investments with original maturities
of greater than three months are classified as either short or long-term
investments. Accordingly, the decrease was primarily due to the increase in
purchases of short-term investments during the quarter as compared to the same
period in the prior year, and the purchase of long-term investments during the
current quarter.

Net cash used in financing activities

Consolidated cash used in financing activities increased slightly during the
three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. The modest increase was primarily due to an increase in Omega Protein's
repayments of long-term obligations during the quarter as compared to the same
period in the prior year.

Because Zapata's cash management activities are separate and distinct from those
of Omega Protein and Zap.Com, it is useful to separately review Zapata
Corporate's cash flows separately. The following table summarizes this cash flow
information (in thousands):

Net cash used in (provided by) operating activities

Zapata Corporate's cash used in operating activities increased during the three
months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The increase was primarily due to the timing of payments of certain payables and
accruals and a reduction in interest income during the quarter as compared to
the same period in the prior year.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities

Zapata Corporate had net cash used in investing activities during the three
months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to net cash provided by investing
activities during the same period in the prior year. The change from net cash
provided by investing activities to net cash used in investing activities was
primarily due to an increase in purchases in short-term investments and a
decrease in proceeds from maturities of short-term investments during the
quarter as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net used in financing activities

Zapata Corporate had no cash provided by (used in) financing activities during
the three months ended March 31, 2002 or March 31, 2001.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations" and
No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that all
business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method only and that
certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized as
assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that ratable amortization of
goodwill be replaced with periodic tests of the goodwill's impairment and that
intangible assets other than goodwill be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS
No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001, and the provisions of SFAS No. 142 are effective for all fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company's adoption of the provisions of
SFAS No. 141 and 142 on January 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or its results of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires that obligations associated with the
retirement of a tangible long-lived asset to be recorded as a liability when
those obligations are incurred, with the amount of the liability initially
measured at fair value. Upon initially recognizing a liability for an asset
retirement obligation, an entity must capitalize the cost by recognizing an
increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the
liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost
is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the
liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or
incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 will be
required to be adopted by the Company in Fiscal 2003. The Company has not
determined what impact, if any, this statement will have on the Company's
financial position or its results of operations.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses the accounting model for
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and resulting


                                       14

<PAGE>
implementation issues. This statement requires that those long-lived assets be
measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell,
whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company's adoption of the provisions of
SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or its results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of Zapata's financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported
therein. The estimates that require management's most difficult, subjective or
complex judgments are described below. We believe that the critical judgments
impacting the financial statements include:

      -     Litigation reserves,

      -     Valuation allowances for deferred income taxes,

      -     Benefit plan components,

      -     Omega's deferral of off-season costs,

      -     Omega's lower-of-cost-or-market inventory analysis, and

      -     Omega's accounting for self-insurance retentions.

The establishment of litigation reserves requires judgments concerning the
ultimate outcome of pending litigation against the Company and its subsidiaries.
In applying judgment, management utilizes opinions and estimates obtained from
outside legal counsel.

The Company reduces its deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is
more likely than not to be realized. In so doing, the Company estimates future
taxable income in determining if any valuation allowance is necessary.

On a consolidated basis, the Company has three defined benefit plans, under
which participants earn a retirement benefit based upon a formula set forth in
each plan. The Company records income or expense related to these plans using
actuarially determined amounts that are calculated under the provisions of SFAS
No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." Key assumptions used in the
actuarial valuations include the discount rate and the anticipated rate of
return on plan assets. These rates are based on market interest rates, and
therefore fluctuations in market interest rates could impact the amount of
pension income or expense recorded for these plans.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Omega Protein's fishing
season runs from mid-April to the first of November in the Gulf of Mexico and
from the beginning of May into December in the Atlantic. Government regulations
preclude Omega Protein from fishing during the off-seasons.

Omega Protein's inventory cost system considers all costs associated with an
annual fish catch and its processing, both variable and fixed and including both
costs incurred during the off-season and during the fishing season. Omega
Protein's costing system allocates cost to inventory quantities on a per unit
basis as calculated by a formula that considers total estimated inventoriable
costs for a fishing season (including off-season costs) to total estimated fish
catch and the relative fair market value of the individual products produced.
Omega Protein adjusts the cost of sales, off-season costs and inventory balances
at the end of each quarter based on revised estimates of total inventoriable
costs and fish catch. Omega Protein's lower-of-cost-or-market-value analyses at
year-end and at interim periods compare the total estimated per unit production
cost of Omega's expected production to the projected per unit market prices of
the products. The impairment analyses involve estimates of, among other things,
future fish catches and related costs, and expected commodity prices for the
fish products. These estimates, which management believes are reasonable and
supportable, involve estimates of future activities and events which are
inherently imprecise and for which actual results may differ.

During the off-seasons, in connection with the upcoming fishing seasons, Omega
Protein incurs costs (i.e., plant and vessel related labor, utilities, rent and
depreciation) that are directly related to Omega's infrastructure. These costs
accumulate in inventory and are applied as elements of the cost of production of
Omega Protein's products


                                       15

<PAGE>
throughout the fishing season ratably based on Omega's monthly fish catch and
the expected total fish catch for the season.

As mentioned previously, Omega Protein carries insurance for certain losses
relating to its vessels and Jones Act liabilities for employees aboard its
vessels (collectively, "Vessel Claims Insurance"). The typical Vessel Claims
Insurance policy contains an annual aggregate deductible ("AAD") for which Omega
remains responsible, while the insurance carrier is responsible for all
applicable amounts which exceed the AAD. Omega Protein provides reserves for
those portions of the AAD for which Omega remains responsible by using an
estimation process that considers Omega Protein, Inc. specific and industry data
as well as Omega Protein management's experience assumptions and consultation
with outside counsel. Omega Protein management's current estimated range of
liabilities related to such cases is based on claims for which Omega's
management can estimate the amount and range of loss. Omega Protein has recorded
the minimum estimated liability related to those claims, where there is a range
of loss. As additional information becomes available, Omega will assess the
potential liability related to its pending litigation and revise its estimates.
Such revisions in estimates of the potential liability could materially impact
Omega Protein's results of operation and financial position.


I
TEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's investment policy is designed to continue to meet Zapata's
liquidity needs by purchasing investment grade securities.

Zapata's investment grade securities include obligations of the U.S. Government
or agencies thereof guaranteed by the U.S. Government, certificates of deposit
and money market deposits. In addition, Omega Protein holds commercial paper
with a rating of A-2 or P-2.

As of March 31, 2002, Zapata held $43.7 million in investment grade securities.
Changes in interest rates affect the investment income the Company earns on its
investment grade securities and, therefore, impacts its cash flows and results
of operations. Due to the short duration and conservative nature of these
instruments, the Company does not believe that the value of these instruments
have a material exposure to interest rate risk.

In the normal course of business, the financial condition of the Company is
exposed to minimal market risk associated with interest rate movements on Omega
Protein's borrowings. A one percent increase or decrease in the levels of
interest rates on variable rate debt would not result in a material change to
the Company's results of operations.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

A non-operating wholly-owned subsidiary of Zapata, Energy Industries, Inc., was
named as a defendant in three cases commenced in 1996 and 1997 pending in the
83rd Judicial District Court of Upton County, Texas involving the death of one
individual and personal injuries to two others. The cases resulted from an
explosion and fire at a gas processing plant in Upton County caused by the
failure of a valve cover. Zapata was named as a defendant in one of the cases.
The owners of the plant have also filed a cross-claim against Energy Industries
for property damage and lost profits resulting from the explosion and fire.
Plaintiffs and the cross-plaintiff owners base their claim on a theory of
manufacturing or design defect of the valve cover. Plaintiffs seek compensatory
damages. Zapata and Energy Industries deny liability in each of the lawsuits,
and have vigorously contested these matters and intend to vigorously defend
against these actions. In January 2002, Zapata's primary insurance carrier for
these lawsuits, for the first time, notified it that it did not believe that
Zapata and Energy Industries had primary insurance coverage for the losses
arising out of these incidents. The insurance carrier had been providing for the
defense of these actions and had not reserved its rights with respect to that
defense. Although the insurance carrier has disclaimed any obligation to
indemnify Zapata or Energy Industries, it has agreed to continue providing a
defense. Zapata has disputed the assertion that there is no primary insurance
coverage. A loss of primary insurance coverage could jeopardize excess coverage
that Zapata or Energy Industries has for these claims. These cases involve
plaintiffs with very serious injuries, including death. While the results of any
ultimate resolution of these lawsuits cannot be predicted, in the opinion of the
Company's management, based upon discussions with defense counsel, any losses
resulting from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on Zapata's
results of operations, cash flow or financial position.

Zapata is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its past and
current operations in the normal course of business. Zapata maintains insurance
coverage against such potential ordinary course claims in an amount in which it
believes to be adequate. While the results of any ultimate resolution cannot be
predicted, in the opinion of Zapata's management, based upon discussions with
counsel, any losses resulting from these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on Zapata's results of operations, cash flow or financial
position.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company is subject to various possible claims and lawsuits regarding
environmental matters. Management believes that costs, if any, related to these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations,
cash flows or financial position of the Company.
