MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- Marketing
Marketing division revenues, operating earnings and significant
operating statistics were as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
First Quarter First Quarter
2000 1999
---------------- --------------
<S> <C> <C>
Revenues $ 2,000,432,000 $ 515,266,000
Operating earnings $ 4,024,000 $ 1,074,000
Volume/Price Information
Wellhead Purchases - Per day (1)
Crude Oil 286,000 bbls 192,000 bbls
Natural Gas 803,000 mcf - (2)
Average Price
Crude Oil $ 27.10/bbl $ 10.99/ bbl
Natural Gas $ 2.57/mcf $ - (2)
</TABLE>
(1) Reflects the volume of crude oil or natural gas purchased
from third parties at the lease level and shipped to market.
(2) Natural gas marketing operations were significantly expanded
effective October 1, 1999.
Gross revenues for marketing operations increased by
$1,485,166,000 or 288% in the comparative current period as a result of an
average 147% increase in price coupled with increased volumes of crude oil
purchased at the wellhead. Further, during the fourth quarter of 1999, the
Company significantly expanded its presence in the wholesale marketplace for
natural gas. This event contributed to increased revenues and earnings for the
comparative first quarter of 2000. Marketing division operating earnings for
the first three months of 2000 increased by 275% versus the 1999 period. As
prices rose within the crude oil marketplace during the first part of 2000,
supply and demand conditions caused an improvement of per unit gross margins.
Hence, with additional volumes, operating earnings improved significantly.

- Transportation
Transportation revenues and operating earnings increased as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
First Quarter First Quarter Percentage
2000 1999 Increase
------------- -------------- ----------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Revenues $ 9,780,000 $ 7,851,000 25%
Operating earnings $ 688,000 $ 383,000 80%
</TABLE>
Transportation revenues and operating earnings improved during
2000 as a result of improved customer demand. Because of the fixed costs
associated with a trucking operation, operating earnings on a percentage basis
improved at a faster rate than revenues in the current period.
- Oil and Gas
Oil and gas division revenues and operating earnings are
primarily a function of crude oil and natural gas prices and volumes. The
increase in this division's revenues and operating earnings is a direct result
of improved prices for both crude oil and natural gas, partially offset by
normal natural gas production declines. The current quarter also benefited from
a reduced provision for depreciation and depletion of $573,000 in 2000 versus
$720,000 in 1999. Comparative amounts are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
First Quarter First Quarter

Natural gas

Average price $ 2.54/mcf $ 1.68/mcf
</TABLE>
- Other income (expense)
Property sales and other income of $117,000 and $666,000,
respectively, resulted from interest income in 2000 and from gains realized on
the sale of forty-five truck tractors in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow from operations before working capital items for the
first three months of 2000 totaled $4,103,000. The portion of cash flow
invested in transportation operations totaled $332,000, while marketing
equipment additions totaled $234,000 and $1,471,000 went toward oil and gas
drilling. The remaining $1,476,000 of cash flow before working capital items
served to bolster cash reserves. As the marketing business continues to grow,
the availability of trade credit becomes increasingly critical to the success
of the Company's operations. Thus, management places great importance on
maintaining a strong liquid balance sheet.
Refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 for
additional discussion of the Company's bank relationships and other matters.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company's management, include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and
results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is
suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in
the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. The interim statement of
operations is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full
year.

Note 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. The statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value
be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria
are met. Qualifying hedges allow a derivative's gains and losses to offset
related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a
company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of
transactions that receive hedge accounting.

ADAMS RESOURCES & ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which deferred the
effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. A
company may implement SFAS No. 133 as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter
after issuance, however, the statement cannot be applied retroactively. The
Company does not plan to early adopt SFAS No. 133. The Company is currently
assessing the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 133. Applications of this
standard could increase volatility in earnings and shareholders' equity through
other comprehensive income.
On January 1, 1999 the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task
Force's Issue 98-10, "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and
Risk Management Activities." Issue 98-10 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998, and requires energy trading contracts (as
defined) to be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, with the change in
fair value included in earnings. The effect of initial adoption on January 1,
1999 was not significant. The accompanying statement of operations includes
pretax income of $385,000 to reflect the future income from marketing
operations based upon the year-end prices of the underlying commodities being
traded. The accompanying balance sheet reflects the fair value of the trading
asset of $2,524,000 in current assets and the fair value of the trading
liability of $2,139,000 in current liabilities.
