                              CARBO CERAMICS INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

                                 JUNE 30, 1997

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Carbo
Ceramics Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the
full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1996 included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

     On April 17, 1996, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
authorizing 5,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per
share, a 2,000 for 1 split of the Company's Common Stock and the conversion of
all previously issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into
voting shares of Common Stock. All share and per share data for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996 in the accompanying financial statements have
been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CARBO
Ceramics Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, CARBO Ceramics Sales
Corporation. CARBO Ceramics Sales Corporation was formed on July 31, 1996 under
the laws of Barbados. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.

2.   DIVIDENDS PAID

     On April 15, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$0.075 per common share payable to shareholders of record on April 28, 1997.
The dividend was paid on May 9, 1997.

3.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 is
based on 14,602,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period,
increased by 263,303 average Common Stock equivalent shares for the assumed
exercise of options.

4.   PRO FORMA INFORMATION

     Pro Forma Net Income:

     Pro forma net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
reflects a provision for income taxes at an effective rate of 38% to illustrate
how historical net income might have been affected if the Company had not been
an S Corporation for income tax purposes. The Company elected to be treated as
an S Corporation pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code from June 23, 1987
through April 23, 1996, immediately after which it terminated its S Corporation
election in conjunction with its initial public offering. As a result, the
Company was not subject to federal income taxes during this period. By election
of the shareholders, S Corporation status was also applicable to the state
jurisdictions where the Company had significant operations during this period.

and 63,932 average common stock equivalent shares for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996, respectively, for the assumed exercise of options.

5.   INCOME TAXES

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997

Revenues. Revenues for the second quarter 1997 were a record $20.9 million, an
increase of 20% over the second quarter 1996. The increase was due to a 17%
increase in sales volume and an increase in the average selling price due to a
price increase of approximately 5% which was effective in January 1997. Sales
volumes increased for each of the Company's products, except for CARBOLITE(R),
which showed a slight decrease. The largest percentage volume increases were in
CARBOECONOPROP and CARBOHSP(R). Domestic and export sales volumes each
increased by approximately 17% over the comparable period in 1996.

Natural gas prices declined slightly from the second quarter 1996. However,
natural gas drilling activity continued its increase over 1996 with the second
quarter of 1997 about 18% ahead of the comparable period in 1996. The
industry's focus on the long-term demand for natural gas is evidenced by the
fact that almost 60% of the total rig count is devoted to drilling for natural
gas.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the quarter was $10.3 million or 50% of sales
compared to $8.0 million or 46% of sales for the second quarter 1996. The
increase in gross profit margins was due to the price increase that went into
effect in January 1997 and lower manufacturing costs at the Eufaula facility.
The cost reduction in Eufaula was due to higher production rates in 1997.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A was $2.1 million for
the second quarter of 1997 and $3.0 million for the comparable period in 1996.
The significant decrease is almost entirely attributable to a $1.1 million
non-recurring, non-cash charge incurred in connection with the vesting of
restricted stock at the time of the Company's initial public offering which
occurred in the second quarter of 1996. Excluding these costs, expenses
increased approximately $200,000 due to costs associated with being a publicly
traded company as well as costs that vary with sales volume and profitability
including warehouse and shipping expenses, commission expenses, and incentive
compensation.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $38.7 million,
up 27% from the same period in 1996. The increase was due to a 22% increase in
sales volume and the 5% price increase effective January 1997. Sales volume
increased for each of the Company's products, with the largest percentage
increase in CARBOHSP(R). Domestic and export sales volumes each increased by
approximately 22% over the comparable period in 1996.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $19.3
million or 50% of sales compared to $14.2 million or 47% of sales for the same
period in 1996. The increase in gross profit margins was due to the price
increase that went into effect in January 1997, and lower manufacturing costs
at the New Iberia facility as a result of higher throughput achieved through
improving grinding operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses were $4.1
million for the first six months of 1997 compared to $4.7 million for the same
period in 1996. Included in the 1996 costs is a $1.1 million non-recurring,
non-cash charge incurred in connection with the vesting of restricted stock at
the time of the Company's initial public offering. This was partially off-set
by an increase in costs of $.5 million for those expenses associated with being
a publicly traded company as well as costs that vary with sales volume and
profitability including warehouse and shipping expenses, commission expenses
and incentive compensation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $20.3 million as of June 30, 1997, an
increase of $2.9 million from December 31, 1996. The increase in cash and cash
equivalents was due to cash generated from operations of $7.5 million net of
capital spending of $2.4 million and cash dividends of $2.2 million. Capital
spending in the first six months of 1997 was primarily related to expansion of
the Company's San Antonio storage and Eufaula manufacturing facilities, and
preliminary spending related to the construction of a new manufacturing
facility in Georgia.

The Company will continue to increase its capital expenditures through the
remainder of 1997 and in 1998. The Company expects to spend $4.0 million to
expand its distribution capabilities and up to $12.0 million to begin
construction of the new manufacturing facility in Georgia in 1997, and an
additional $22.0 million in 1998 to complete construction of its new
manufacturing facility. The Company expects to fund its capital spending
requirements from existing cash balances and cash generated from operations.
The Company believes that its existing credit agreement is sufficient to fund a
portion of its capital spending program if necessary.
