Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective January 13, 2004,  pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered
into as of December 31, 2003, (the "Merger  Agreement")  among Vista Exploration
Corporation,  a Colorado corporation ("Vista"), ICOP Acquisition Corporation,  a
Colorado corporation and wholly-owned  subsidiary of Vista ("ICOP Acquisition"),
and ICOP Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("ICOP Digital"),  ICOP Acquisition
was merged  with and into ICOP  Digital,  with ICOP  Digital  continuing  as the
surviving corporation,  with ICOP Digital thereby becoming a subsidiary of Vista
(the  "Merger").  Vista's sole asset  consists of its ownership of ICOP Digital.
Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  Vista issued  approximately  14,500,000  new
shares of Vista common stock as consideration for the  approximately  14,500,000
ICOP Digital  shares  issued and  outstanding  immediately  prior to the Merger.
Holders of ICOP  Digital  common  stock  received  one (1) share of Vista common
stock for each issued and outstanding share of ICOP Digital common stock.

The  issuance of shares of Vista  common  stock under the Merger  Agreement,  as
described above, was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act").  The issuance was  conducted  pursuant to Rule 506 of  Regulation D
promulgated under the Act.

Prior to the  Merger,  ICOP  Digital had been a  privately  owned,  Kansas-based
company  engaged  primarily  in the  design,  development  and  marketing  of an
innovative  in-car digital video recorder  system for use in the law enforcement
industry.  Charles A. Ross, Sr., the principal  stockholder and sole officer and
director  of Vista,  and David C.  Owen,  an  optionholder  of Vista,  were also
stockholders,  officers and  directors of ICOP Digital.  Upon  completion of the
Merger,  Messrs.  Ross and Owen  disposed of all of their  equity  interests  in
Vista. In addition,  Mr. Ross terminated his employment agreement with Vista and
waived all accrued compensation.  The Merger was proposed and completed in order
to enhance  capital  formation  objectives  of ICOP  Digital  and to satisfy the
business objectives of Vista.

Prior to the Merger, Vista received additional capital investments sufficient to
satisfy  all  of  its  outstanding  debts  at  the  time  of  the  merger.  ICOP
Acquisition, as a newly formed entity, had no independent assets or liabilities.
Therefore,  following the Merger,  the assets and  liabilities  of Vista and its
affiliates  were only those of ICOP  Digital and its  subsidiaries  prior to the
Merger.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement,  which is included as Exhibit
2.1 to this report, and is incorporated herein by reference.

          Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties of ICOP. Except as set

(the "ICOP Disclosure Schedule") (each section of which qualifies the
correspondingly numbered representation and warranty to the extent specified
therein) represents and warrants to VISTA as follows:

          (a) Organization and Standing of ICOP. ICOP is a corporation duly
organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state
of Nevada has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and is duly
qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the

qualification necessary other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to so
qualify would not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on ICOP. ICOP has all requisite power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and to carry out and perform the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. ICOP has no direct or indirect interest, either by way of stock
ownership or otherwise, in any other firm, corporation, association or business.
The copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of ICOP which were

documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

          (b) Authority; No Conflicts.

                    (i)  The execution, delivery and performance of this
               Agreement have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
               action on the part of ICOP. This Agreement has been executed and
               delivered by ICOP and constitutes valid and binding obligations
               of ICOP enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as
               limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting the
               enforcement of creditors' rights).

                    (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by ICOP
               does not, and the consummation of the Merger pursuant to this
               Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby will
               not, conflict with or result in any violation


                                       6





               of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of
               time, or both) under, any provision of (A) the certificate of
               incorporation or bylaws of ICOP or (B) any loan or credit
               agreement, note, mortgage, bond, indenture, lease, benefit plan
               or other agreement, obligation, instrument, permit, concession,
               franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law,
               ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to ICOP or any of its
               properties or assets, except as would not have a material adverse
               effect on ICOP, subject to obtaining the Required Consents
               (defined below).

                    (iii) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
               registration, declaration or filing with, any governmental entity
               is required by or is necessary with respect to ICOP in connection
               with its execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
               consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
               contemplated thereby, except for those required under or in
               relation to the corporate laws of Nevada and Colorado with
               respect to the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Colorado
               Secretary of State and Certificate of Merger with the Nevada
               Secretary of State, and such consents, approvals, and filings the
               failure of which to make or obtain would not have a material
               adverse effect on any party hereto. Consents, approvals, and
               filings required under or in relation to any of the foregoing are
               referred to as the "Required Consents."

               all material contracts of ICOP shall remain in full force and
               effect following, and notwithstanding the consummation of, the
               Merger.

          (c) Capitalization of ICOP and Indebtedness for Borrowed Moneys. ICOP
is duly and lawfully authorized by its articles of incorporation to issue (i)
50,000,000 shares of ICOP common stock, $.01 par value per share, of which as of
the date hereof there are issued and outstanding 14,539,500 shares, and (ii)
5,000,000 shares of ICOP preferred stock, $.01 par value per share, of which as
of the date hereof none are issued and outstanding. The issued and outstanding
shares are held by the ICOP shareholders identified in Schedule 2.1. All the
outstanding shares of ICOP common and preferred stock have been duly authorized
and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive
rights. ICOP has no treasury stock and no other authorized series or class of
stock. ICOP has an employee stock option plan for the issuance of up to
2,500,000 shares of ICOP common stock. ICOP has issued options for 2,500,000
shares under the plan all of which are vested. ICOP is not obligated to issue
any additional capital stock or voting securities as a result of any options,
warrants, rights, conversion rights, obligations upon default, subscription
agreements or other obligations of any kind. ICOP is not presently liable on
account of any indebtedness for borrowed moneys, except as reflected in the ICOP
Financial Statements (as defined below) or the ICOP Disclosure Schedule.

          (d) ICOP Financial Statements. ICOP has furnished to VISTA its audited
balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, its audited statements of income and
retained earnings and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31,
2002 and its unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2003, and its unaudited
statements of income and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003
(collectively, the "ICOP Financial Statements"). All of the ICOP


                                       7





Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of ICOP as of the respective balance sheet dates and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the respective periods specified therein. The ICOP
Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis.

          (e) Present Status. Except as otherwise disclosed in the ICOP
Disclosure Schedule, from September 30, 2003 to the date of this Agreement, ICOP
has not incurred any liabilities that are of a nature that would be required to
be disclosed on a balance sheet of ICOP or the notes thereto prepared in
accordance with GAAP, other than liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business of ICOP and which do not have a material adverse effect on ICOP.

          (f) Litigation. Except as disclosed in the ICOP Financial Statements
or Schedule 3.1(f) hereto, there are no legal actions, suits, arbitrations or
other legal or administrative proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of ICOP,
threatened against ICOP which are material to ICOP. In addition, ICOP is not
aware of any facts, which to the best of its knowledge would reasonably be
expected to result in any action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding, which
would reasonably be expected to be material to ICOP. ICOP is not in default of
any judgment, order or decree of any court or, in any material respect of, any
requirements of a government agency or instrumentality, except as set forth in
the ICOP Financial Statements or on the ICOP Disclosure Schedule.

          (g) Compliance With the Law and Other Instruments. The business
operations of ICOP have been and are being conducted in all material respects in
compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. ICOP is not in
violation of, or in default under, any term or provision of its certificate of
incorporation or its bylaws or in any material respect of any lien, mortgage,
lease, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree.

          (h) Title to Properties and Assets. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.1(h), ICOP has good and defensible title to all of its material properties and
assets including, without limitation, those reflected in the ICOP Financial
Statements and those used or located on property controlled by ICOP in its
business (except assets leased or sold in the ordinary course of business),
subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance or
restriction except those which (a) are disclosed in the ICOP Financial
Statements as securing specified liabilities; or (b) do not materially adversely
affect the use thereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(h), ICOP owns, free
and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances, royalty interests, or other
restrictions or limitations of any nature whatsoever, intellectual property,
including trade secrets, copyrights, procedures, techniques, business plans,
methods of management, or other information, used in connection with ICOP's
business. The products and services ICOP markets, or plans to market, and its
plan of operation do not infringe on the patents, copyrights, trade secrets, or
other proprietary rights of any third person.

          (i) Records. To the best of ICOP's knowledge, the books of account and
other records of ICOP are complete and correct in all material respects, and
there have been no material transactions involving the business of ICOP which
properly should have been set forth in such records, other than those set forth
therein.


                                       8





          (j) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth in
Schedule 3.1(j), since September 30, 2003 (i) there has not been any material
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets,
liabilities or, to the best of ICOP's knowledge, the present or prospective
status of the business of ICOP, and (ii) ICOP has not declared or paid any
dividend or made any other distribution in respect of any of its capital stock
or repurchased or redeemed or otherwise acquired any shares of its capital stock
or obligated itself to do any of the foregoing.

          (k) Taxes. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(k) hereto, ICOP has
duly filed all federal, state, county, local and foreign income, franchise,
excise, real and personal property and other tax returns and reports (including,
but not limited to, those relating to social security, withholding, unemployment
insurance and occupation (sales) and use taxes) required to have been filed up
to the date hereof. All of the foregoing returns are true and correct in all
material respects and ICOP has paid or provided for all taxes, interest and
penalties shown on such returns or reports as being due. ICOP has no liability
for any amount of taxes, interest or penalties of any nature whatsoever, except
for those taxes which may have arisen up to the Closing Date in the ordinary
course of business and are properly accrued on the books of ICOP as of the
Closing Date.

          (l) ICOP Benefit Plans. ICOP has employee Benefit Plans subject to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

          (m) Finders and Advisors. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(m),
there are no investment bankers, brokers, finders or other intermediaries which
have been retained by or are authorized to act on behalf of ICOP who might be
entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

          (n) Vote Required. The affirmative vote of the holders of 50% of the
outstanding shares of ICOP common stock (the "Required ICOP Vote") is the only
vote of the shareholders of ICOP required to approve the Merger. ICOP has
already obtained the Required ICOP Vote as of the date of this Agreement
pursuant to a shareholder consent as provided by the general Corporation Laws of
Nevada.

          (o) Full Disclosure. This Agreement and any schedules and certificates
delivered by ICOP in connection herewith or with the transactions contemplated
hereby, taken as a whole, neither contain any untrue statement of a material
fact nor omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. To the best of ICOP's knowledge,
there are no facts which (individually or in the aggregate) materially adversely
affect the business, prospects, assets, liabilities, financial condition or
operations of ICOP that have not been set forth in this Agreement, the schedules
hereto or in other documents delivered by ICOP in connection herewith which ICOP
should reasonably recognize (i) are not known to VISTA, and (ii) would if known
be material to VISTA with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
provided for herein.

          Section 3.2. Representations and Warranties by VISTA. Except as set
forth in the VISTA Disclosure Schedule attached to this Agreement as Schedule
3.2 (the "VISTA Disclosure


                                       9





Schedule") (each section of which qualifies the correspondingly numbered
representation and warranty or covenant to the extent specified therein), VISTA
hereby represents and warrants to ICOP as follows:

          (a) Organization and Standing of VISTA. VISTA is a corporation duly
organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Colorado, has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties make
such qualification necessary other than in jurisdictions where the failure to so
qualify would not, either individually or in the aggregate, be materially
adverse to VISTA. VISTA has all requisite power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to carry out and perform the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. VISTA has no direct or indirect interest, either by way of stock
ownership or otherwise, in any other firm, corporation, association or business
other than Merger Sub. The copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of
VISTA which were previously furnished to ICOP are true, complete and correct
copies of such documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

                    (i)  The execution, delivery and performance of this
               Agreement have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
               action on the part of VISTA. This Agreement has been executed and
               delivered by VISTA and constitutes a valid and binding obligation
               of VISTA enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as
               limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting the
               enforcement of creditors' rights).

                    (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by VISTA
               does not, and the consummation by VISTA of the Merger and the
               other transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with or
               result in a violation or constitute a default (with or without
               notice or lapse of time, or both) under, any provision of (A) any
               provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of VISTA,
               (B) any loan or credit agreement, note, mortgage, bond,
               indenture, lease, benefit plan or other agreement, obligation,
               instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment,
               order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation
               applicable to VISTA or any of its properties or assets, except as
               would not be materially adverse to VISTA.

                    (iii) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
               registration, declaration or filing with, a governmental entity
               is required by or with respect to VISTA in connection with the
               execution and delivery of this Agreement by VISTA or the
               consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
               contemplated hereby, except for such consents, approvals, orders,
               authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings the
               failure of which to make or obtain would not be materially
               adverse to VISTA.


                                       10





                    (iv) Except as set forth in the VISTA Disclosure Schedule,
               all material contracts of VISTA, if any, shall remain in full
               force and effect following, and notwithstanding the consummation
               of, the Merger.

          (c) Capitalization of VISTA and Indebtedness for Borrowed Moneys.
VISTA is duly and lawfully authorized by its articles of incorporation to issue
50,000,000 shares of VISTA Common Stock, of which as of the date hereof there
are 1,790,000 shares issued and outstanding (after the sale and cancellation of
VISTA Common Stock referred to in Section 4.7). All the outstanding shares of
VISTA Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully
paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. VISTA is authorized by its
articles of incorporation to issue 5,000,000 shares of VISTA Preferred Stock, of
which as of the date hereof, there are no shares outstanding. VISTA has no other
authorized class of stock. VISTA has issued options to purchase 2,000,000 shares
of VISTA Common Stock for $.10 per share which options are to be cancelled
pursuant to Section 4.7 of this Agreement. Except with respect to this
Agreement, VISTA is not obligated to issue any additional capital stock or
voting securities as a result of any options, warrants, rights, conversion
rights, obligations upon default, subscription agreement or other obligation of
any kind. VISTA is not presently liable on account of any indebtedness for
borrowed moneys.

          (d) VISTA SEC Reports and Financial Statements. VISTA is current with
all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be
filed with the SEC (collectively, including all exhibits thereto, the "VISTA SEC
Reports") other than filings the failure of which to make would not be
materially adverse to VISTA. None of the VISTA SEC Reports, as of their
respective dates (and, if amended or superseded by filings prior to the date of
this Agreement or the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of
the financial statements (including the related notes) included in the VISTA SEC
Reports presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
VISTA as of the respective dates or for the respective periods set forth
therein, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods
involved except as otherwise noted therein. All of such VISTA SEC Reports, as of
their respective dates (and as of the date of any amendment to the respective
VISTA SEC Report), complied as to form in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

          (e) Present Status. Except as otherwise disclosed in the VISTA SEC
Reports or the VISTA Disclosure Schedule, from September 30, 2003 to the date of
this Agreement, VISTA has not incurred any liabilities that are of a nature that
would be required to be disclosed on a balance sheet of VISTA or the notes
thereto prepared in accordance with GAAP, other than liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business of VISTA and which do not have a material adverse
effect on VISTA.

          (f) Litigation. There are no legal actions, suits, arbitrations, or
other legal or administrative proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of VISTA,
threatened against VISTA


                                       11





which are material to VISTA. VISTA is not in default of any judgment, order or
decree of any court or, in any material respect of, any requirements of a
government agency or instrumentality.

          (g) Compliance With the Law and Other Instruments. The business
operations of VISTA have been and are being conducted in compliance in all
material respects with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations of all
authorities. VISTA is not in violation of, or in default under, any term or
provision of its articles of incorporation or its bylaws or in any material
respect of any lien, mortgage, lease, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or
decree.

          (h) Records. To the best of VISTA's knowledge, the books and other
records of VISTA are complete and correct in all material respects, and there
have been no material transactions involving the business of VISTA which
properly should have been set forth in such records, other than those set forth
therein.

          (i) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since September 30, 2003,
(i) there has not been any material adverse change in the condition (financial
or otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities or, to the best of VISTA's
knowledge, the present or prospective status of the business of VISTA, and (ii)
VISTA has not declared or paid any dividend or made any other distribution in
respect of any of its capital stock.

          (j) Taxes. VISTA has duly filed all federal, state, county, local and
foreign income, franchise, excise, real and personal property and other tax
returns and reports (including, but not limited to, those relating to social
security, withholding, unemployment insurance, and occupation (sales) and use
taxes) required to have been filed by VISTA up to the date hereof.

          (k) VISTA Benefit Plans. VISTA has no employee Benefit Plans subject
to ERISA.

          (l) Finders and Advisors. There are no investment bankers, brokers,
finders or other intermediaries which have been retained by or are authorized to
act on behalf of VISTA who might be entitled to any fee or commission in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (m) Vote Required. The affirmative vote of the holders of the majority
of the outstanding shares of Merger Sub common stock (the "Required Merger Sub
Vote") is the only vote of the shareholders of Merger Sub required to approve
the Merger. Merger Sub has already obtained the Required Merger Sub Vote as of
the date of this Agreement.

          (n) Full Disclosure. To the best of VISTA's knowledge, this Agreement,
and any Schedules and certificates delivered by VISTA in connection herewith or
with the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, neither contain any
untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the
best of VISTA's knowledge, there are no facts which (individually or in the
aggregate) materially adversely affect the business, prospects, assets,
liabilities, financial condition or operations of VISTA that have not been set
forth in this Agreement, the Schedules hereto, the VISTA SEC Reports or in other
documents delivered by VISTA in connection herewith which VISTA should
reasonably recognize (i) are not known to ICOP, and (ii) would if known be
material to ICOP with respect to this Agreement and the transactions provided
for herein.

other and use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to contest and

          Section 5.1. Indemnification. Each party agrees to and shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless each of the other parties and each of the other
parties' stockholders, officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents,
successors, assigns and legal representatives (each of the other parties and
such other persons collectively referred to as the "Indemnified Persons") from
and against, and shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons for, each and every
Loss (defined in Section 8.9(c)) paid, imposed on or incurred by the Indemnified
Persons, or any claim by a third party against an Indemnified Person, resulting

proceeding shall be brought or asserted under this Article against an
Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this
Article from another party or any successor thereto (the "Indemnifying Party"),
the Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice of such proceeding to
the Indemnifying Party who shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and the

Person be required to make any expenditure or bring any cause of action to
enforce the Indemnifying Party's obligations and liability under and pursuant to
the indemnifications set forth in this Article. Actual or threatened action is
not a condition or prerequisite to the Indemnifying Party's obligations under

this Agreement; provided, however, nothing herein shall preclude a party from
asserting a claim for equitable non-monetary remedies.

          Section 5.4. Waiver of Consequential Damages. With respect to any and
all Losses for which indemnification may be available, each party hereby
expressly waives any consequential and punitive damages with respect to a claim
against the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that this waiver shall not
apply to the extent such consequential or punitive damages are awarded in a
proceeding brought or asserted by a third party against an Indemnified Person.

Colorado Business Corporation Act, the undersigned corporations hereby adopt the
following Articles of Merger and have caused the President of their respective

                           ARTICLE I. PLAN OF MERGER

          A.   ICOP Acquisition Corporation, a Colorado corporation ("Merger
               Sub"), was merged with and into ICOP Digital, Inc., a Nevada
               corporation, upon the filing of these Articles of Merger.

          B.   Following the merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger
               Sub shall cease and ICOP shall continue as the Surviving
               Corporation under the name ICOP Digital, Inc. and shall succeed
               to and assume all the rights and obligations of Merger Sub in
               accordance with the corporate laws of Nevada and Colorado and
               become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vista Exploration
               Corporation, a Colorado corporation.

          C.   At the effective date of the merger, upon filing the Articles of
               Merger, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and
               franchises of ICOP and Merger Sub shall be vested in the
               surviving corporation and all debts, liabilities and duties of
               the Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of
               the Surviving Corporation, ICOP.

          D.   At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger
               Sub shall cease and the Articles of Incorporation of ICOP shall
               be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.

          E.   At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of ICOP as in effect at the
               Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation
               until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by
               applicable law.

          F.   At the Effective Time, the officers and directors of ICOP shall
               be the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation.

          G.   At the Effective Time, by virtue of the merger, the total number
               of shares of ICOP common stock issued and outstanding immediately
               prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into
               the right to receive the same number of shares of Vista
               Exploration Corporation common stock and Certificates
               representing the shares of Vista common stock to be issued hereby
               shall be delivered pro rata to the shareholders of ICOP at the
               closing in exchange for the surrender of all of their ICOP common
               shares to be exchanged. At the Effective





               Time, all such shares of ICOP common stock shall cease to be
               outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and
               the ICOP shareholders shall cease to have any rights with respect
               to such shares of ICOP common stock except to receive a like
               number of shares of Vista common stock upon surrender or exchange
               of the ICOP common stock certificates.

          H.   At the Effective Time, all outstanding shares of Merger Sub
               common stock held by Vista Exploration Corporation shall be
               automatically converted into and become one fully paid and
               non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation
               and ICOP shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vista
               Exploration Corporation.

                                  ARTICLE II.

          The sole shareholder of Merger Sub voted all of its shares in favor of
the transaction and said vote was sufficient for approval of the transaction.
The shareholders of ICOP were entitled to vote to approve the transaction and
the number of votes cast for the plan of merger was sufficient for approval of
the Merger Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE III.

          The merger is being effected pursuant to Section 7-111-107 of the

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
ICOP Digital, Inc. and subsidiary:


We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet of ICOP Digital,
Inc.  and  subsidiary  as of December  31,  2002,  and the related  consolidated
statements of operations,  changes in shareholders'  equity (deficit),  and cash
flows for the period from May 24, 2002  (inception)  through ended  December 31,
2002. These  consolidated  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated   financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and  significant  estimates made by  management,  as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement  presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of ICOP Digital,  Inc.
and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002, and the results of their  operations and
their cash flows for the period  from May 24,  2002  (inception)  through  ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company  will  continue  as a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses since inception
raises  substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Operations and Recent Business Combination
ICOP Digital,  Inc. ("ICOP"),  incorporated in May 2002 in Nevada, is engaged in
the design, development and marketing of an in-car video recorder system for use
in the law enforcement industry.  ICOP's  administrative  offices are located in
Overland Park, Kansas,  its design facilities are located in Olathe,  Kansas and
its manufacturing facility is located in Tokyo, Japan.

In February 2003, ICOP purchased all of the issued and outstanding  common stock
of McCoy's Law Line, Inc.  ("McCoy's").  The primary reason for the purchase was
to  permit  ICOP  and its  subsidiary,  McCoy's  (the  "Company"),  to sell  and
distribute  law  enforcement-related  products in addition to its in-car digital
video recorded system.  The results of McCoy's  operations have been included in
accompanying consolidated financial statements from that date.

McCoy's is engaged in the business of distributing  radar guns,  radar trailers,
speed  signs,  in-car  video  systems,  alcohol  breath  testers  and  other law
enforcement  equipment to federal,  state and local law enforcement agencies and
sheriffs' departments throughout the United States.  However, these products may
be sold both within the United States and abroad. In addition, McCoy's assembles
a line of speed trailers and signs which it sells through the distributorship.

The purchase price was $700,000 (unaudited). Consideration was 700,000 shares of
ICOP common stock valued at $1.00 per share (unaudited).  The value of $1.00 per
share  was   determined   by  the   Company's   Board  of  Directors   based  on
contemporaneous  stock  sales to  unrelated  third  parties.  The book  value of
McCoy's  assets and  liabilities  on the  purchase  date were stepped up to fair
value. As a result, the purchase was recorded based on the values exchanged. The
purchase  price exceeded the fair value of the  identifiable  assets by $672,283
(unaudited). This amount is reflected as an asset, goodwill, in the accompanying
consolidated  financial  statements.  Goodwill  will be screened  for  potential
impairment annually or sooner if necessary.

McCoy's offices are located in Chanute, Kansas.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of ICOP and McCoy's
(together,  the  "Company").  Intercompany  transactions  and balances have been
eliminated in the consolidation.

Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of  liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the  accompanying
consolidated  financial statements,  the Company has suffered significant losses
since inception.  This factor,  among others, may indicate that the Company will
be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management  plans to continue to sell common stock to raise capital for research
and  development  and  operations.  Since  September  30, 2003,  the Company has
received  $360,000  from the sale of  360,000  shares of its  common  stock.  In
addition,  the Company plans to seek debt  financing to


                                      F-8





                               ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


support the  manufacture  and import of its new products as they come to market.
In the  longer  term,  the  Company  plans to expand  its  acquired  operations,
commence sale of its new products and become  profitable.  There is no assurance
that the Company's new products will gain market  acceptance or that the Company
will attain profitability.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of assets and/or liabilities that might be
necessary  should the  Company be unable to  continue  as a going  concern.  The
Company's  continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to meet
its obligations on a timely basis, and, ultimately to attain profitability.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The interim  financial  statements of the Company as of September 30, 2003,  and
the statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are unaudited.  Certain information and
note  disclosures   normally  included  in  financial   statements  prepared  in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles have been condensed or
omitted.  In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of
normal  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  for  the  fair  presentation  of the
financial  position and results of operations and cash flows, have been included
in such unaudited financial  statements.  The results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the entire year.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and the  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of financial  statements and the
reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid  securities with original  maturities of
three months or less when  acquired to be cash  equivalents.  There were no cash
equivalents at September 30, 2003 (unaudited) and December 31, 2002.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The  carrying  amounts  of  financial   instruments   including  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  trade accounts  receivable,  accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximated fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these
instruments.

Accounts Receivable
The accounts receivable  represents amounts due from customers.  All amounts are
expected to be collected within one year.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in
first-out method. Inventory consists of materials and supplies and products.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is calculated using the
straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful  lives of the related  assets,
generally ranging from three to five years. Property and equipment under capital
leases  are  stated at the  present  value of  minimum  lease  payments  and are
amortized using the  straight-line  method over the shorter of the lease term or
the


                                      F-9





                               ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using
the  straight-line  method over the estimated  useful lives of the assets or the
term of the lease,  whichever  is shorter.  The  recoverability  of property and
equipment is evaluated  whenever  indicators of  impairment  are present and the
undiscounted  future cash flows  estimated  to be  generated by those assets are
less than the assets' carrying amount. No impairment  charges have been recorded
for the nine months  ended  September  31, 2003 and the period from May 24, 2002
(inception) through December 31, 2002.

Business Combinations and Goodwill
The Company  accounts for  business  combinations  under the purchase  method of
accounting.  Under the purchase method,  an asset acquisition is measured on the
basis of the  values  exchanged.  The cost of an entity  acquired  includes  the
direct  costs  of the  combination.  Costs of  registering  and  issuing  equity
securities  are  recognized as a reduction of the fair value of the  securities.
Out of pocket  costs are  expensed  as  incurred  and  included  in general  and
administrative  costs. The excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net
of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized
as goodwill.

The Company does not amortize goodwill.  Instead, the Company tests goodwill for
impairment  on an  annual  basis  or more  frequently,  if  warranted.  If it is
determined through testing that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair
value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. After
the impairment  loss is recognized,  the Company adjusts the goodwill to its new
basis. The Company does not subsequently  reverse a previous goodwill impairment
loss.

Income Taxes
The Company  accounts  for income  taxes under the  provisions  of  Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  Statement
No. 109  requires  recognition  of deferred tax  liabilities  and assets for the
expected  future  tax  consequences  of events  that have been  included  in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and  assets  are  determined  based  on the  difference  between  the  financial
statement  and tax bases of assets and  liabilities  using  enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Revenue Recognition
Sales  revenue is  recognized  upon  shipment of the  products.  Repair fees are
recognized  upon completion of the services.  Revenues  collected in advance are
deferred until recognized in income as earned.

Sales and Marketing Costs
The Company  expenses  the cost of  advertising  and  promoting  its services as
incurred.   Such  costs  are  included  in  sales  and   marketing  and  totaled
approximately  $53,888,  (unaudited)  and  $2,818  for  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2003 and period from May 24, 2002 (inception) through December 31,
2002, respectively.

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial  instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
At December  31, 2002,  the fair value of the  Company's  financial  instruments
approximate their carrying value based on their terms and interest rates.

For the nine months  ended  September  30, 2003 and the period from May 24, 2002
(inception) through December 31, 2002,  approximately 13%,  (unaudited) and -0-%
respectively,   of  sales  were  to


                                      F-10





                               ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


one customer. This customer represented  approximately -0-% (unaudited) and -0-%
of accounts  receivable  at both  September  30,  2003 and  December  31,  2002,
respectively.

For the nine months  ended  September  30, 2003 and the period from May 24, 2002
(inception) through December 31, 2002, one vendor represented  approximately 60%
(unaudited)  and  -0-%  respectively,  of the  Company's  total  purchases.  The
Company's  reliance on certain vendors can be shifted to alternative  sources of
supply for products it sells should such changes be necessary.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company  accounts for  stock-based  compensation  arrangements in accordance
with Statement of financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based  Compensation,"  which permits  entities to recognize as expense
over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based  awards on the date of
grant.  Alternatively,  SFAS No. 123 allows  entities  to  continue to apply the
provisions of Accounting  Principle Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 and provide pro
forma net earnings (loss) disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the
fair-value-based  method  defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.  The Company
has  elected to  continue  to apply the  provisions  of APB  Opinion  No. 25 and
provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

Warranties
Products are warranted  against  manufacturing  defects for a period of one year
commencing at the time of sale.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On August 16, 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board, or FASB,  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) SFAS No. 143, Accounting for
Asset  Retirement  Obligations,"  which is effective for fiscal years  beginning
after June 15, 2002. It requires that obligations associated with the retirement
of a tangible long-lived asset be recorded as a liability when those obligations
are incurred, with the amount of the liability initially measured at fair value.
Upon initially  recognizing  an accrued  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.
Although we have not completed the process of determining the effect of this new
accounting pronouncement, we currently expect that the effect of SFAS No. 143 on
our consolidated  financial statements,  when it becomes effective,  will not be
significant.

In April 2002, the FASB issued  Statement No. 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements
No.  4,  44,  and  62,  Amendment  of  FASB  Statement  No.  13,  and  Technical
Corrections"   (SFAS  145).   SFAS  145  will   require   gains  and  losses  on
extinguishments  of debt to be  classified  as income  or loss  from  continuing
operations  rather than as  extraordinary  items as  previously  required  under
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 4 (SFAS  4).  Extraordinary
treatment  will be  required  for  certain  extinguishments  as  provided in APB
Opinion No. 30. SFAS 145 also amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 13 to  require  certain  modifications  to  capital  leases be  treated as a
sale-leaseback  and modifies the  accounting  for  sub-leases  when the original
lessee  remains a secondary  obligor (or  guarantor).  SFAS 145 is effective for
financial  statements  issued after May 15, 2002, and with respect to the impact
of the  reporting  requirements  of  changes  made  to SFAS 4 for  fiscal  years
beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of the applicable  provisions of SFAS
145 did not have an effect on our financial statements.

In June  2002,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  No.  146,  "Accounting  for  Costs
Associated with Exit or


                                      F-11





                               ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Disposal  Activities."  SFAS 146 nullifies  Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.
94-3 "Liability  Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other
Costs  to  Exit  an   Activity   (including   Certain   Costs   Incurred   in  a
Restructuring)." SFAS 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity that
does not involve an entity newly  acquired in a business  combination  or with a
disposal  activity  covered  by SFAS  144.  SFAS  146 is  effective  for exit or
disposal  activities  that are initiated  after December 31, 2002,  with earlier
application  encouraged.  We are  currently  reviewing  SFAS 146 and  intend  to
implement it no later than January 1, 2003.

At September 30, 2003, deferred taxes consisted of a net tax asset of $1,291,000
(unaudited) due to operating loss carryforwards of $3,490,000 (unaudited), which
was fully allowed for, in the valuation allowance of $1,291,000 (unaudited). The
valuation  allowance  offsets the net  deferred  tax asset for which there is no
assurance  of  recovery.  The changes in the  valuation  allowance  for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 was $1,092,000 (unaudited).

At December 31, 2002,  deferred taxes  consisted of a net tax asset of $199,000,
due to operating loss carryforwards of $538,000, which was fully allowed for, in
the valuation  allowance of $199,000.  The valuation  allowance  offsets the net
deferred tax asset for which there is no  assurance of recovery.  The changes in
the  valuation  allowance for the period from May 24, 2002  (inception)  through
December 31, 2002 was $199,000.  Net operating  loss  carryforwards  will expire
through 2022.

The valuation  allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year,  considering
positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized. At that
time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced;  reduction could result
in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that
the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer  impaired and the  allowance is
no longer required.

Should the Company undergo an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the
Internal  Revenue  Code,  the Company's  tax net  operating  loss  carryforwards
generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual  limitation
which could reduce or defer the utilization of those losses.

                          VISTA EXPLORATION CORPORATION
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Acquisition of ICOP

On December 31, 2003, Vista entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of ICOP in
a stock exchange. As a result, Vista exchanged  approximately  14,039,500 shares
of its stock for all the issued and outstanding common stock of ICOP and granted
options to purchase another 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00
per share to replace  outstanding  options of ICOP. The shares issued  represent
approximately  89%  of the  total  shares  outstanding  after  the  transaction;
therefore  this  transaction  will be  recorded  as a reverse  acquisition.  The
historical  operating  results  of  Vista  will be  replaced  by the  historical
operating  results  of  ICOP,  as if ICOP  was  the  acquiring  company  and the
continuing operating company.

This transaction  occurred on January 13, 2004. Vista  (previously known as Bail
Corporation)  had  operated  in the  oil  and  gas  industry.  It  had  incurred
significant operating losses and had discontinued operations earlier in 2003. In
conjunction  with the  acquisition,  Vista  received  $300,000  from the sale of
600,000 shares of common stock,  which was used to pay or settle all liabilities
of the company.  In addition,  shareholders of Vista cancelled 500,000 shares of
common stock and all outstanding options for the purchase of common stock..

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are as follows:


     a.   To record the common stock issued in conjunction  with the acquisition
          of ICOP.

     b.   To record elimination of pre-acquisition operating results of Vista.

     c.   Record  sale of  common  stock  and  repayment  or  settlement  of all
          existing liabilities.
