SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF NON-CASH FINANCING ACTIVITIES:
     The Company issued 105,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of
     $210,000 of notes payable in September 1996. In conjunction with its
     December 1997 Bridge Financing, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common
     stock, valued at
         $237,500 and recorded as debt issuance costs. In the same financing,
        1,333,334 warrants were issued, valued at $101,000. The amortization of
        such debt issuance and warrant costs was included in interest expense
        which was capitalized as a cost of oil and gas properties.

    The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Cheniere Energy,
Inc. ("Cheniere" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 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 of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.

         For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-K for the four
months ended December 31, 1997. Interim results are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

         The Company is currently a development stage enterprise and reports as
such under the provisions of SFAS No. 7. The Company's future business will be
in the field of oil and gas exploration and exploitation.


NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE

         In December 1997, Cheniere completed the private placement of a
$4,000,000 bridge financing (the "December 1997 Bridge Financing"). The senior
term notes payable issued by Cheniere had an initial maturity date of March 15,
1998 which has been extended to September 15, 1998. The senior term notes bear
interest, which is payable quarterly, at an annual rate of 9.9% (LIBOR plus 4%).
The securities purchase agreements which govern the bridge financing specify
that, during the term of the notes, capital raised by the Company in excess of
$5,000,000 must be directed to the repayment of the senior term notes.

         In connection with the December 1997 Bridge Financing, Cheniere issued
100,000 shares of common stock and 4-year warrants to purchase 1,333,334 shares
of common stock at $2-3/8 per share. Additional warrants to purchase 266,667
shares of Cheniere common stock will be issued for each month the notes remain
outstanding during the period from March 15, 1998 through September 15, 1998.
The common stock issued at closing was recorded as a debt issuance cost at the
then-current market price for the shares.

         In June 1998 the Company issued $180,000 in short-term notes with
detachable warrants to purchase 83,334 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $2.00 per share on or before June 4, 2002. The notes bear interest at
9.7% (LIBOR plus 4%) and mature on August 14, 1998.


NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE

         During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company completed four
private placements of its common stock pursuant to Regulation D under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"). In April 1998 Cheniere issued 530,000
shares, generating net proceeds of $1,018,000. In May 1998 the Company issued
22,000 shares with proceeds of $44,000 and an additional 70,000 shares in

                                      7
<PAGE>   8
partial payment of legal charges related principally to previous offerings of
the Company's common stock. In June 1998 Cheniere issued 890,644 shares of
common stock, generating net proceeds of $1,175,900. Because the June private
placement was issued at a price of $1.40 per share, the Company also issued in
June 236,572 additional shares to the stockholders who had purchased shares in
April and May at $2.00 per share.


NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS

         On January 1, 1998, the Company granted options to certain employees
under the Cheniere Energy, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan. Options covering a total
of 100,000 shares of common stock were granted, exercisable at $3.00 per share,
vesting 25% at each of the first four anniversaries of the dates of grant and
expiring on the fifth anniversary dates of the grants.

         On April 7, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors elected a new
outside director. This director was granted options to purchase 35,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, the quoted
market price on the date of grant. These options vest 22,500 on April 7, 1999,
and 12,500 on April 7, 2000, and will expire on April 7, 2002. All of the
options described in this Note 4 were issued pursuant to an exemption from the
securities registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 contained in
Section 4(2).


NOTE 5-RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         In conjunction with certain of the Company's private placements of
equity, placement fees have been paid to Investors Administration Services,
Limited ("IAS"), a company in which the brother of the Company's Co-Chairman,
Charif Souki, is a principal. Payments to IAS totaled $113,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 1998.

         On June 4, 1998 short-term advances totaling $592,000 were received
from the Company's Co-Chairman William Forster and from family members of Mr.
Forster who are also shareholders of the Company. Such advances bore interest at
9.7% (LIBOR plus 4%) and were repaid during June.

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

         GENERAL - Cheniere Energy, Inc. is currently a development stage
company, which has not yet begun generating revenues, and reports as such under
the provisions of SFAS No. 7. The Company's unaudited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto relate to the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. These statements, the notes thereto and the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Transition Report on
Form 10-K for the four-month transition period ended December 31, 1997 contain
detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with the
following discussion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         COMPARISON OF THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 - The
Company's operating results for the three months ended June 30, 1998 reflect a
loss of $429,816, or $0.03 per share, compared to a loss of $359,499 or $0.03
per share a year earlier. The Company is in the development stage; accordingly,
there continue to be no operating revenues. General and administrative expenses
of $436,435 in the three months ended June 30, 1998 were higher than the
$379,321 reported for the comparable period a year earlier. The increase in
expenses results principally from legal expenses related to the arbitration
proceedings initiated by Zydeco in April 1998. Cheniere reported interest income
of $6,619 in the current-year's quarter compared to $19,822 a year ago, varying
as a function of funds available for the Company to invest.

         COMPARISON OF SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 - The
Company's operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1998 reflect a
loss of $619,316, or $0.04 per share, compared to a loss of $707,364 or $0.06
per share a year earlier. General and administrative expenses of $631,829 in the
six months ended June 30, 1998 were lower than the $754,342 reported for the
comparable period a year earlier. The decrease in expenses results from
significant legal expenses incurred in the first quarter of 1997 related to a
potential acquisition of oil and gas properties which was not consummated.
Cheniere reported interest income of $12,513 in the current year to date
compared to $46,978 a year ago, varying as a function of funds available for the
Company to invest.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company anticipates that future liquidity requirements, including
repayment of outstanding short-term notes payable, future commitments to the 3-D
Exploration Program and other oil and gas activities, will be met by cash
balances, the sale of equity, further borrowings, and/or the sale of portions of
its interest in the 3-D Exploration Program or in the prospects generated
thereunder. At this time, no assurance can be given that such sales of equity,
future borrowings, or sales of portions of its interest in the 3-D Exploration
Program will be accomplished.

         Historically, the Company has funded its capital expenditures and
working capital requirements through private placements of equity securities and
short-term debt issuances. Since its inception in February 1996 through June 30,
1998, Cheniere has raised $16.9 million through the sale of its common stock and
another $4.2 million (net of repayments) in private debt placements.

         The Company expects drilling operations to commence on more than one
prospect during the second half of 1998. The related capital needs of the

                                      9
<PAGE>   10

Company will depend upon the level of participation it chooses to retain in the
drilling projects. The Company expects to finance such activities through the
additional placement of its equity securities, short-term debt issuances or the
partial sale of its interest in the exploration projects.

         At June 30, 1998, total assets had increased to $19,613,066 compared to
$17,705,627 at December 31, 1997 due primarily to Cheniere's continued
investment in oil and gas properties, funded principally by net proceeds from
the sale of the Company's common stock.
