         (a)  Financial Statements of the Acquisition


                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors
EEX Corporation

       We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and direct
operating expenses of certain oil and gas properties and pipeline assets
acquired from Tesoro Petroleum Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (the
"Acquired Business") by EEX Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") for
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

       We conducted our audits 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 statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

       The accompanying financial statements were prepared as described in Note
1 for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and are not intended to be a complete presentation of
the revenues and direct operating expenses of the Acquired Business.

       In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of
the Acquired Business for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of Certain Oil
and Gas Properties and Pipeline Assets Acquired from Tesoro Petroleum
Corporation and Subsidiaries

1.  Basis of Presentation

  On December 17, 1999, subsidiaries of EEX Corporation (the "Company") closed a
purchase of certain oil and gas properties and pipeline assets of Tesoro
Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries.  A Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
October 8, 1999, between EEX Operating LLC ("EEX Operating") and Tesoro
Petroleum Corporation and Tesoro Gas Resources Company, Inc. was amended on
December 16, 1999, and three corollary purchase agreements were entered into on
December 17, 1999.  Collectively, the purchase agreements provided for the
purchase of (i) all of the member interests in four limited liability companies
which, together, own all of the partnership interests of Tesoro E&P Company,
L.P. (whose name was changed after closing to EEX E&P Company, L.P., "E&P
L.P."), owner of the oil and gas assets ("Oil and Gas Interests"), and (ii) all
of the issued and outstanding stock of Tesoro Natural Gas Company (whose name
was changed after closing to EEX Natural Gas Company) and Tesoro Gathering
Company (whose name was changed after closing to EEX Gathering Company), which,
together, own all of the partnership interests in Tesoro Pipeline Company, L.P.
(whose name was changed after closing to EEX Pipeline Company, L.P.), which owns
partnership interests in pipeline and gathering systems ("Pipeline Interests").
The adjusted purchase price for the Oil and Gas Interests was $209.1 million and
for the Pipeline Interests, $5.7 million.  The Oil and Gas Interests and the
Pipeline Interests are collectively referred to as the "Acquired Business."

     EEX Operating acquired the Pipeline Interests.  The Oil and Gas Interests
were acquired by EEX Reserves Funding LLC ("ERF"), a limited liability company
half-owned by subsidiaries of the Company, EEX Operating (49%) and EEX Capital,
Inc. (1%), and half-owned by a third party.

     The revenues and direct operating expenses associated with the Acquired
Business were derived from the Acquired Business accounting records.  Revenues,
as set forth in the accompanying financial statements, include oil and gas
revenues and pipeline revenues and are reported on a net interest basis.  Direct
operating expenses, as set forth in the accompanying financial statements,
include labor, services, repairs and maintenance, supplies utilized to operate
and maintain the wells, pipelines and related equipment, net processing costs,
and property taxes.

Notes to the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of Certain Oil

Corporation and Subsidiaries--(Continued)

  The accompanying statements vary from an income statement in that they do not
show certain expenses that were incurred in connection with ownership and
operation of the acquired properties including exploration expenses, general and
administrative expenses and income taxes.  These costs were not separately
allocated to the properties of the Acquired Business accounting records and any
pro forma allocation would be time consuming and expensive and would not be a
reliable estimate of what these costs would actually have been had the acquired
properties been operated historically as a stand-alone entity.  In addition,
these allocations, if made using historical general and administrative
structures and tax burdens, would not produce allocations that would be
indicative of the historical performance of the acquired properties had they
been assets of the Company due to the greatly differing size, structure,
operations and accounting of the two companies.  The accompanying financial
statements also do not include provisions for depreciation, depletion, and
amortization, as such amounts would not be indicative of those costs which would
be incurred by the Company upon allocation of the purchase price.

  For the above reasons, primarily the lack of segregated or easily obtainable
reliable data on asset values and related liabilities, a balance sheet is not
presented for the Acquired Business.

  At the end of the economic life of the acquired properties, certain
restoration and abandonment costs will be incurred by the respective owners.  No
accrual for these costs is included in direct operating expenses.

  The sales method is used for recording revenues from gas sales.  Under this
approach, revenues were based on the monthly production sold by the Acquired
Business.

3. SUPPLEMENTARY OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

   Proved Reserve Estimates

   The following estimates of the net proved oil and gas reserves of the
Acquired Business are based on evaluations prepared by Netherland, Sewell &
Associates, Inc., except for net reserves at December 31, 1998 and 1997 which
were prepared by in-house engineers of the Acquired Business and audited by
Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc.  Reserves were estimated in accordance
with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and FASB,
which require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and
operating conditions with no provision for price and cost escalations except by
contractual arrangements.  Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and
estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and
gas properties.  Accordingly, reserve estimates are expected to change as
additional performance data becomes available.

     Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The following table sets forth the computation of the standardized measure
of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved reserves and the changes
in such cash flows in accordance with SFAS No. 69.  The standardized measure is
the estimated excess future cash inflows from proved reserves less estimated
future production and development costs, estimated future income taxes and a
discount factor.  Future cash inflows represent expected revenues from
production of year-end quantities of proved reserves based on year-end prices
and any fixed and determinable future escalation provided by contractual
arrangements in existence at year-end.  Escalation based on inflation, federal
regulatory changes and supply and demand are not considered.  Estimated future
production costs related to year-end reserves are based on year-end costs.  Such
costs include, but are not limited to, production taxes and direct operating
costs.  Inflation and other anticipatory costs are not considered until the
actual cost change takes effect.  Estimated future income tax expenses are
computed using the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates.  Consideration is
given for the effects of permanent differences, tax credits and allowances.  A
discount rate of 10% is applied to the annual future net cash flows.

     The methodology and assumptions used in calculating the standardized
measure are those required by SFAS No. 69.  The standardized measure is not
intended to be representative of the fair market value of the proved reserves.
The calculations of revenues and costs do not necessarily represent the amounts
to be received or expended by the Company.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

On December 17, 1999, subsidiaries of EEX Corporation (the "Company") closed a
purchase of certain oil and gas properties and pipeline assets of Tesoro
Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries.  A Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
October 8, 1999, between EEX Operating LLC ("EEX Operating") and Tesoro
Petroleum Corporation and Tesoro Gas Resources Company, Inc. was amended on
December 16, 1999, and three corollary purchase agreements were entered into on
December 17, 1999.  Collectively, the purchase agreements provided for the
purchase of (i) all of the member interests in four limited liability companies
which, together, own all of the partnership interests of Tesoro E&P Company,
L.P. (whose name was changed after closing to EEX E&P Company, L.P., "E&P
L.P."), owner of the oil and gas assets ("Oil and Gas Interests"), and (ii) all
of the issued and outstanding stock of Tesoro Natural Gas Company (whose name
was changed after closing to EEX Natural Gas Company) and Tesoro Gathering
Company (whose name was changed after closing to EEX Gathering Company), which,
together, own all of the partnership interests in Tesoro Pipeline Company, L.P.
(whose name was changed after closing to EEX Pipeline Company, L.P.), which owns
partnership interests in pipeline and gathering systems ("Pipeline Interests").
The adjusted purchase price for the Oil and Gas Interests was $209.1 million and
for the Pipeline Interests, $5.7 million.  The Oil and Gas Interests and the
Pipeline Interests are collectively referred to as the "Acquired Business."

EEX Operating acquired the Pipeline Interests.  The Oil and Gas Interests were
acquired by EEX Reserves Funding LLC ("ERF"), a limited liability company half-
owned by subsidiaries of the Company, EEX Operating (49%) and EEX Capital, Inc.
(1%), and half-owned by a third party.

The Company has fully consolidated ERF, the limited liability companies owning
E&P L.P. partnership interests, E&P L.P., EEX Natural Gas Company, EEX Gathering
Company and EEX Pipeline Company, L.P.  The third party's 50% equity interest in
ERF is reflected in the balance sheet as a minority interest.

E&P L.P. entered into a $105 million forward sale agreement with a third party
for approximately 50 billion cubic feet equivalent of production from E&P L.P.
through December 2004 that was prepaid upon the close of the purchase
transaction.  The third party receives an adjusted index price monthly for the
committed volume.  In the event production is not delivered, the obligation may
be settled with a cash payment from E&P L.P.  The third party also has a lien on
the E&P L.P. oil and gas properties as security in the event the committed
volumes are not delivered or cash payment is not made.  The forward sale
agreement also enables E&P L.P. to act as the third party's marketing agent to
market the committed production.  E&P L.P., at its discretion, may terminate the
prepayment obligation by paying the third party a predetermined amount.  The
prepayment has been recorded as a gas sales obligation on the balance sheet.
Payments under this obligation will be amortized on the interest method through
final pay out.

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

(a)  Represents the purchase price of the Acquired Business.  The purchase price
     has been adjusted for the estimated activity between the effective time,
     July 1, 1999 and the closing date, December 17, 1999.  Such adjustments
     primarily include capital expenditures and revenues in excess of operating
     expenses for this period.

(b)  Represents fees associated with the forward sale agreement.  These fees
     will be amortized over the life of the agreement.

(c)  Represents borrowings under the revolving credit facility to complete the
     purchase of the Acquired Business.

(d)  Represents the gas sales obligation to a third party for approximately 50
     billion cubic feet equivalent of production through December 2004 that was
     prepaid upon the close of the purchase of the Acquired Business.  The
     Company has assumed revenue during the periods presented is equal to
     amounts actually realized in the period, rather than the amounts that would
     have been realized in the first year from amortization of the gas sales
     obligation.  The gas sales obligation is based on current prices and not
     prices indicative of the periods presented.

(e)  Represents the equity contribution from a third party for a 50% equity
     interest in EEX Reserves Funding LLC ("ERF").  The third party's 50% equity
     interest in ERF is reflected on the balance sheet as minority interest.

(f)  Represents estimated salaries and related expenses associated with
     exploration personnel.

(g)  Represents adjustment to depletion, depreciation and amortization based
     upon historical production, reserves and the acquisition cost basis.

(h)  Represents estimated general and administrative expenses as a result of the
     purchase of the Acquired Business.

(i)  Represents estimated interest expense related to the gas sales obligation
     (assumes annual interest rate of 9.5%).

(j)  Represents estimated interest expense related to borrowings under the
     revolving credit facility (assumes interest  rate of 7.5%).

(k)  Represents amortization of fees associated with the forward sale agreement.

(l)  Represents third party's 50% equity ownership in ERF.
