Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On February 12, 1998, Tengasco, Inc. (the "Company"), acquired all of
the assets (collectively the "Assets") of AFG Energy Inc. ("Seller"), with the
effective date of the transaction being December 31, 1997. The aggregate
purchase price paid by the Company to the Seller was $5.5 million (which is
subject to certain post-closing adjustments), payable $3 million in cash and
$2.5 million by delivery of a promissory note. The principal amount of the
note bears interest at the rate of nine (9%) percent per annum, and the
promissory note is payable in twenty-three (23) consecutive monthly
installments of $79,500, with a balloon payment equal to the balance of the
principal together with interest due on February 1, 2000. The promissory note
is secured by the Assets. The Assets principally consist of oil and gas
leases, oil and gas production equipment, pipelines, rolling stock, surface
leases, fixtures, furniture, office equipment and other personal property.

         In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Seller for any
liability arising from violations of environmental laws after the effective
date of the closing.

         The cash portion of the consideration for the acquisition of Assets
came from private placement funding conducted by the Company in the last
quarter of calendar year 1997. The amount of the consideration was determined
in an arms' length negotiation among the parties, and the Company based its
determination of the amount of the consideration primarily upon an engineering
report which provided reserve estimates and a discounted present value
thereof.

         There are no material relationships among the Seller, its affiliates
associates, officers and directors, and the Company and any of its affiliates,
associates, officers and directors.

         The Seller used the Assets in the oil and gas business, and the
Company intends to continue use of the Assets in the same business.
