               ZAPATA CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------

  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by Zapata, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial statements reflect all
adjustments which 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 significant accounting policies, normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in
Zapata's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

  On December 8, 1994, Zapata announced that it would redeem the remaining
22,498 outstanding shares of the Company's $6 Cumulative Preferred Stock
(Preferred Stock).  The Preferred Stock was redeemed at $100 a share.

NOTE 2.  ACQUISITION
- --------------------

  In November 1993, Zapata purchased the natural gas compression business of
Energy Industries, Inc. and certain other affiliated companies ("Energy
Industries"), as well as certain real estate used by the business ("Energy
Industries Acquisition").    The following pro forma information for Zapata for
the three months ended December 31, 1993 includes the historical results of
Zapata, adjusted for the results of Energy Industries as if the Energy
Industries Acquisition had been consummated on October 1, 1993 (unaudited) (in
thousands, except per share amounts).

     Revenues                                          $65,553
     Income from continuing operations before taxes     26,503
     Income from continuing operations                  17,209
     Income per share from continuing operations          0.55
</TABLE>


  The pro forma adjustments to Zapata's results for the three months ended
December 31, 1993 to reflect the Energy Industries Acquisition increased
revenues by $6,014,000, as well as income before tax by $174,000.  Additional
pro forma adjustments for the first three months of fiscal 1994 included the
elimination of $124,000 of various operating and administrative expenses that
were charged to Energy Industries from an affiliate, additional depreciation of
$120,000 and $41,000 of goodwill amortization, a reduction in net interest
expense of $161,000 related to notes receivable and payable that were not
acquired by Zapata and a federal tax provision of $104,000.

  The pro forma amounts presented above may not be indicative of the results
that would have actually resulted if the transactions had occurred on the date
indicated or which may be obtained in the future.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     At December 31, 1994, Zapata's financial condition remains strong.  Long-
term debt of $59.2 million compares favorably to working capital of $88.1
million and stockholders' equity of $150.8 million.  Mandatory principal
payments for the next twelve months total $2.5 million.  Zapata currently owns
673,077 shares of common stock of Tidewater Inc., all of which are reserved for
possible exchange, at the election of the holder, for $17.5 million of the
Company's 8.5% unsecured exchangeable notes due in 1996.

     As of December 31, 1994, Zapata redeemed the remaining 22,498 shares of its
outstanding $6 Cumulative Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock)  at $100 per share.
In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company announced that payment of
dividends on its Common Stock and $2 Noncumulative Convertible Preference Stock
would be discontinued until further notice.

     Net cash used by operating activities for the first quarters of fiscal 1995
and 1994 each totalled $4.8 million.  However, cash provided by investing
activities of $1.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was
significantly lower than the $79.9 million provided in the corresponding fiscal
1994 period as a result of the sale of 3.75 million shares of Zapata's Tidewater
common stock in November 1993.  Reflecting a senior debt prepayment in December
1993, net cash used by financing activities of $4.5 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1995 was substantially lower than the $68.4 million used in the prior-
year period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     Zapata reported net income of $393,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995
as compared to net income of $17.3 million for the same period in fiscal 1994.
The decrease was primarily attributable to a $33.8 million pretax gain from the
sale of 3.75 million shares of Zapata's Tidewater common stock in the fiscal
1994  period.  This gain was partially offset by a $6.8 million expense
associated with the partial prepayment of the Company's senior indebtedness
during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  Interest expense was lower in the
first quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to the corresponding 1994 period due
primarily to the 1994 senior debt prepayment.  The fiscal 1994 results include
net income of $313,000 from the Company's discontinued marine protein
operations.

     The Company's operating income of $1.3 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 compared favorably to operating income of $338,000 for the
corresponding fiscal 1994 period.  The improvement was primarily attributable to
Zapata's natural gas compression division that was acquired in November 1993.
The benefits of reduced general and administrative expenses associated with the
Company's corporate headquarters and the absence of domestic oil and gas
operations workover expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 were offset by
an operating loss from the Company's natural gas gathering, processing and
marketing operations.  Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 totalled
$46.0 million as compared to $59.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

NATURAL GAS COMPRESSION - In November 1993, Zapata purchased Energy Industries,
- -----------------------                                                        
Inc. ("Energy Industries") a participant in all segments of the natural gas
compression industry. Energy Industries operates one of the ten largest rental
fleets of natural gas compressor packages in the United States. Its compressor
fleet is located in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, as well
as offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.

     Energy Industries primarily supplies natural gas compressor packages in
natural gas production and processing applications.  In natural gas production
applications, natural gas compression is used to increase the flow rate of gas
wells with low reservoir pressures.  In natural gas processing applications,
natural gas compression is used in the process of separating the various
hydrocarbon components of the wellhead natural gas stream.  In interstate
natural gas pipeline applications, natural gas compression is used to increase
the pressure of natural gas from reservoir levels to interstate pipeline
standards.  Energy Industries maintains an inventory of compressor and engine
components to support the fabrication, service and repair of natural gas
compressor packages.
 
     The major segments of Energy Industries' natural gas compression revenues
and operating results for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and the two
months ended December 31, 1993, in thousands, are identified below.

</TABLE>


     Natural gas compressor package rental utilization is affected primarily by
the number and age of producing oil and gas wells, the volume of natural gas
consumed and natural gas prices.  Rental rates are determined primarily by the
demand for compressor packages and vary by size and horsepower of a compressor
package. Energy Industries' utilization, rental rates and fleet size as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993 are compared in the following table.

          Although utilization of the Company's compressor packages was higher
at December 31, 1994 as compared to that at December 31, 1993, compressor
utilization and rental rates have both been negatively impacted during the
current fiscal quarter by the effects of low natural gas prices.

          In addition to operating a fleet of natural gas compressor packages
for rental purposes, Energy Industries designs, fabricates and sells natural gas
compressor packages to customer specifications.  Energy Industries sells
compressor packages to natural gas producers, gatherers and transmission
companies which expect the long life of their associated reserves or pipeline to
justify the capital cost of acquiring, rather than renting, a natural gas
compressor package.  Most of Energy Industries' natural gas compressor package
sales are for larger, high horsepower packages.

NATURAL GAS GATHERING, PROCESSING AND MARKETING - Zapata's natural gas
- -----------------------------------------------                       
gathering, processing and marketing operations are conducted through Cimarron
Gas Holding Company and its subsidiaries.  Cimarron was acquired early in fiscal
1993 to serve as the vehicle for the Company's expansion into the natural gas
services market.  As a division of Zapata, Cimarron's operations involve two
major categories of business activities: the gathering and processing of natural
gas and its constituent products and the marketing and trading of natural gas
liquids (NGL's).

          Revenues and operating results for the first quarters of fiscal 1995
and 1994 are presented in the following table by major category, in thousands.

          For the first quarter of fiscal 1995, gathering and processing
revenues and operating  income were lower than the prior-year results as the
negative impact of significantly lower natural gas prices more than offset
improved processing margins.  Marketing revenues and operating income also
declined in the 1995 period reflecting the Company's decision to reduce its
natural gas trading activities.

          Gas gathering is the collection of natural gas from various individual
wells, combining it into a single gas stream and delivering it into a major
transmission line for transportation to market.  A gathering system sometimes
includes an associated processing plant for the removal of gas liquids,
depending on the content of liquefiable hydrocarbons in the gas streams and the
capabilities of transmission lines.

          In fiscal 1994 and 1993, Cimarron significantly expanded its natural
gas gathering and processing activities through the acquisition and expansion of
natural gas gathering systems in West Texas and Oklahoma and a gas processing
plant in Sutton County, Texas. A comparison of average daily volumes of gas,
measured in millions of cubic feet, gathered and processed during the first
quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1994 are shown below.

OIL AND GAS -  Operating income of $410,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995
- -----------                                                                     
compared favorably to the fiscal 1994 period's operating income of $208,000
while revenues declined to $2.8 million in the 1995 period as compared to $3.4
million in the prior-year period.  The improvement in operating income was due
primarily to the absence of workover expenses in fiscal 1995; the fiscal 1994
period included $400,000 of workover expenses at the Company's Wisdom gas field.
The division's results were negatively impacted by the significantly lower
natural gas prices in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, as well as reduced
receipts from the Bolivian operations ($700,000 in 1995 compared to $1.0 million
in 1994). Additionally, the Company curtailed production in the Gulf of Mexico
during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as a result of the low gas prices.
