                              ZAPATA CORPORATION
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The 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 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.

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which established
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and
used, and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. Adoption of the new standard by the Company is required no later
than the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. Based on existing conditions and
a preliminary review, management believes adoption of the new standard will not
have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.

     In April 1995, Zapata announced that the Company is considering the sale of
its two natural gas services businesses: the natural gas compression operation
and the natural gas gathering and processing operation. The decision to consider
exiting the energy industry is based on the belief that businesses outside the
energy industry may provide better opportunities for the Company to pursue. Due
to the preliminary nature of this decision process, the financial statement
impact of the ultimate disposition or retention of these businesses cannot be
determined at this time. The decision to consider redirecting operations away
from the energy industry does not imply a decision to liquidate Zapata. The
Company is evaluating opportunities to reinvest the shareholders' capital.

     The Company has cancelled the sale of the marine protein division.  Zapata
had previously announced that an agreement to sell its marine protein operations
for $56 million in cash and approximately $11 million in assumed obligations had
been reached with a group led by current management of the marine protein
operation.  However, the acquisition group was unable to close the transaction
by the scheduled closing date after all conditions precedent to the closing had
been met.  The acquisition group's inability to close was apparently due to the
inability of its financing source to provide proper funding on a timely basis.
The Company is studying alternatives for the marine protein operation at this
time.

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 six months ended March 31, 1994 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).

<S>                                                    <C>
     Revenues                                          $118,838
     Income from continuing operations before taxes      28,841
     Income from continuing operations                   18,563
     Income per share from continuing operations           0.58
</TABLE>


     The pro forma adjustments to Zapata's results for the six months ended
March 31, 1994 to reflect the Energy Industries Acquisition increased revenues
by $6,014,000, as well as income from continuing operations before taxes by
$174,000.  Additional pro forma adjustments for the first six 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 that may be obtained in the future.

NOTE 3.  RESTRICTED CASH

     In accordance with terms of a debt covenant, $12.7 million from the sale of
the Company's Tidewater Inc. ("Tidewater") common stock was held in a restricted
account at March 31, 1995.  At September 30, 1994, restricted cash held in
short-term investments to collateralize letters of credit totalled $779,000.

NOTE 4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In April 1995, Zapata reduced its $17.5 million in notes to Norex America,
Inc. by $12.7 million. The Company used the restricted cash received in the
March 1995 sale of its remaining shares of Tidewater common stock to reduce this
indebtedness.

     Also, in April 1995, Zapata Corporation repurchased 2.25 million shares of
Zapata's common stock from Norex America, Inc. for $4.00 per share.  The shares
repurchased by Zapata represented 7% of the Company's then outstanding common
stock.  Following the repurchase of the shares, Zapata had approximately 29.5
million shares outstanding.

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



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1995, Zapata's long-term debt of $51.3 million compared
favorably to working capital of $85.9 million and stockholders' equity of $150.3
million.  During March 1995, Zapata sold its remaining 673,077 shares of
Tidewater Inc. ("Tidewater") common stock for $12.7 million.  In April 1995,
Zapata used the proceeds from this sale to reduce the Company's $17.5 million in
notes due to Norex America, Inc. in May 1996.  Remaining mandatory principal
payments for the next twelve months total $2.5 million.

     Cash used by operating activities increased to $3.8 million during the
first six months of fiscal 1995 from $762,000 during the corresponding prior-
year period.  This increase was primarily due to increases in working capital.
Cash used by investing activities totalled $4.3 million during the first six
months of fiscal 1995 as compared to the $82.6 million provided during the first
six months of fiscal 1994.  The fiscal 1994 period included $85.9 million from
the sale of 4.13 million shares of Zapata's Tidewater common stock.  Net cash
provided by financing activities totalled $284,000 during the first six months
of fiscal 1995 as compared to a net use of $69.3 million in the corresponding
prior-year period, which included a $68.5 million prepayment of senior debt.

     In April 1995, Zapata repurchased 2.25 million shares of
Zapata's common stock from Norex America, Inc. for $4.00 per share.  The shares
repurchased by Zapata represented 7% of the Company's then outstanding common
stock.  Following the repurchase of these shares, Zapata had approximately 29.5
million shares of common stock outstanding.

     In April 1995, Zapata announced that the Company is considering
the sale of its two natural gas services businesses: the natural gas compression
operation and the natural gas gathering and processing operation.  The decision
to consider exiting the energy industry is based on the belief that businesses
outside the energy industry may provide better opportunities for the Company to

time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Zapata reported net income of $2.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal
1995 as compared to net income of $2.3 million for the same period in fiscal
1994. The fiscal 1995 second quarter results included a $4.8 million pretax gain
from the sale of 673,077 shares of Tidewater common stock, while the
corresponding fiscal 1994 period results included a $3.6 million pretax gain
from the sale of 375,175 shares of Tidewater stock. The fiscal 1994 second
quarter net income also included $918,000 from the Company's discontinued marine
protein operations.

     The Company's operating loss of $396,000 for the second quarter of fiscal
1995 compared favorably to the operating loss of $775,000 for the corresponding
fiscal 1994 period. The improvement was primarily attributable to reduced
general and administrative expenses associated with the Company's corporate
headquarters and improved results from the Company's natural gas gathering,
processing and marketing operations. These improvements were partially offset by
the effects of significantly lower natural gas prices that negatively impacted
the operating results of the Company's natural gas compression and domestic oil
and gas divisions. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 totalled $38.1
million as compared to $53.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1994.

     For the first six months of fiscal 1995, Zapata's net income of $2.8
million was significantly lower than the $19.6 million for the corresponding
1994 period as a result of pretax gains totalling $37.5 million realized from
the sales of Tidewater common stock in 1994. Revenues of $84.1 million and
operating income of $934,000 for the 1995 period compared to the 1994-period
revenues of $112.8 million and operating loss of $437,000.
 
NATURAL GAS COMPRESSION - In November 1993, Zapata purchased Energy Industries,
Inc. ("Energy Industries"), a participant in all segments of the natural gas
compression industry. During the second quarter of fiscal 1995, Energy
Industries acquired 59 additional compressor units in two separate transactions
for $3.4 million.  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 Other segment includes the results of the heat exchanger manufacturing
operation and used equipment sales.)

     During the second quarter of fiscal 1995, Energy Industries disposed of its
heat exchanger manufacturing operation for $1.5 million, resulting in a gain of
$452,000. The heat exchanger operation was not material to the operating results
or financial position of the Company.

     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 March
31, 1995 and 1994 are compared in the following table.

          Reflecting the effects of generally lower natural gas prices, Energy
Industries' compressor rental rates and used equipment sales were negatively
impacted during the second quarter of fiscal 1995. As a result, Energy
Industries' operating income during the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared
unfavorably to the second quarter fiscal 1994.

          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 that 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 (collectively, "Cimarron"), which were
acquired early in fiscal 1993. 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 three- and six-month periods
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are presented in the following table by major

      For the second quarter of fiscal 1995, gathering and processing revenues
were lower than the prior year as a result of the negative impact of
significantly lower natural gas prices, while operating results improved,
reflecting increased processing margins.  However, marketing revenues and
operating income declined in fiscal 1995 as compared to 1994, 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.

OIL AND GAS -  Revenues of $2.2 million and an operating loss of $192,000 for
the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared unfavorably to the corresponding
fiscal 1994 period's revenues of $2.8 million and operating income of $432,000.
The decline was attributable to significantly lower natural gas prices, as well
as reduced income from the Bolivian operations ($116,000 in 1995 as compared to
$876,000 in 1994). Zapata's domestic natural gas production was approximately
58% higher in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to the level of
production in fiscal 1994 when the Company encountered production difficulties
at the Wisdom gas field, the Company's most significant domestic oil and gas
property.

      Similarly, year-to-date fiscal 1995 revenues of $5.0 million and operating
income of $218,000 compared unfavorably to the fiscal 1994 revenues of $6.3
million and operating income of $640,000, reflecting lower natural gas prices
and reduced receipts from the Bolivian operations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In April 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be
held and used, and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be disposed of.  Adoption of the new standard by the Company is required no
later than the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997.  Based on existing
conditions and a preliminary review, management believes adoption of the new
standard will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations
or financial position.
