KIRBY CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements of Kirby Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries (the
"Company") contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30,
2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.
(1) BASIS FOR PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading,
certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant accounting
policies normally included in annual financial statements, have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(2) ACQUISITION
On October 12, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Hollywood
Marine, Inc. ("Hollywood") by means of a merger of Hollywood into Kirby Inland
Marine, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company acquired Hollywood for an aggregate
consideration (before post-closing adjustments) of $320,788,000, consisting of
$89,586,000 in common stock (4,384,000 shares at $20.44 per share), $128,658,000
in cash, the assumption and refinancing of $99,185,000 of Hollywood's existing
debt and $3,359,000 of merger costs. A final post-closing working capital
adjustment was completed on February 29, 2000 for an additional $1,802,000 in
common stock (88,178 shares at $20.44 per share). The final total purchase
consideration for the Hollywood acquisition was $322,590,000. C. Berdon Lawrence
was the principal shareholder of Hollywood. Hollywood's operations were included
as part of the Company's operations effective October 12, 1999 in accordance
with the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is amortized over 30 years.
Hollywood, located in Houston, Texas, was engaged in the inland tank
barge transportation of chemicals and petrochemicals, refined petroleum
products, pressurized products and black oil products primarily along the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway, the Houston Ship Channel and the lower Mississippi River.
Hollywood operated a fleet of 270 inland tank barges, with 4.8 million barrels
of capacity, and 104 inland towboats.
Financing for the cash portion of the transaction and the repayment of
Hollywood's existing debt was through the Company's existing $100,000,000
undrawn bank revolving credit agreement with Chase Bank of Texas, N.A. ("Chase")
as agent bank and through a new $200,000,000 credit facility with Bank of
America, N.A. as syndication agent bank; Chase as administrative agent; and Bank
One, Texas, N.A. as documentation agent.

(3) ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS No. 133")
issued in June 1998, establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. This statement requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133, as amended,
in the first quarter of 2001 and does not expect it to have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts,
including, but not limited to, any projections contained herein, are
forward-looking statements and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
"may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," or "continue" or the negative
thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. The actual
results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements in
this Form 10-Q could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking
statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are: adverse economic conditions; industry competition and other
competitive factors; adverse weather conditions such as high water, low water,
fog and ice; marine accidents; construction of new equipment by competitors,
including construction with government assisted financing; government and
environmental laws and regulations; and the timing, magnitude and number of
acquisitions made by the Company.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is a provider of marine
transportation services, operating a fleet of 774 inland tank barges, with 14.0
million barrels of capacity, and 228 inland towing vessels, transporting
industrial chemicals and petrochemicals, refined petroleum products, black oil
and agricultural chemicals along the United States inland waterways. The
Company's marine transportation operation also includes one offshore dry-bulk
barge and tug unit. The Company serves as managing partner of a 35% owned
offshore marine partnership, consisting of four dry-bulk barge and tug units.
The Company also serves as the managing partner of a 50% owned offshore marine
partnership, which consisted of one dry-bulk barge and tug unit. The barge and
tug unit was sold in June 2000. The partnerships are accounted for under the
equity method of accounting.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is also a provider of diesel
engine services, engaged in the overhaul and servicing of large medium-speed
diesel engines employed in marine, power generation and rail applications. The
Company's diesel engine services operation is divided into three subsidiaries
organized around the markets they serve: Marine Systems Inc., an authorized
dealer for EMD; Rail Systems Inc., an exclusive EMD distributor of aftermarket
parts to shortline and industrial railroads; and Engine Systems Inc., an
authorized EMD distributor for 17 eastern states and the Caribbean, and the
exclusive worldwide distributor for EMD to the nuclear industry.
On October 12, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Hollywood
by means of a merger of Hollywood into Kirby Inland Marine, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the
Company acquired Hollywood for an aggregate consideration of $322,590,000,
including post-closing adjustments. Hollywood's operations were included as part
of the Company operations effective October 12, 1999 in accordance with the
purchase method of accounting.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported 2000 third quarter net earnings of $9,078,000, or
$.37 per share, on revenues of $129,108,000, compared with 1999 third quarter
net earnings of $6,864,000, or $.34 per share, on revenues of $80,504,000. Net
earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were

KIRBY CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)
$25,025,000, or $1.01 per share, on revenues of $385,772,000, compared with net
earnings of $17,467,000, or $.86 per share, on revenues of $243,040,000 for the
1999 first nine months.
For purposes of this Management's Discussion, all earnings per share
are "Diluted earnings per share." The weighted average number of common shares
for the 2000 and 1999 third quarter were 24,791,000 and 20,287,000,
respectively, and for the 2000 and 1999 first nine months were 24,712,000 and
20,322,000, respectively. The increase in the weighted average number of common
shares for both comparable periods primarily reflected the issuance of common
stock associated with the acquisition of Hollywood in October 1999.
The following table sets forth the Company's revenues and percentage of
such revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared with the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 (dollars

Revenues for the marine transportation segment increased 78% for the
2000 third quarter compared with the 1999 third quarter and increased 80% for
the 2000 first nine months compared with the 1999 first nine months, primarily
due to the acquisition of Hollywood in October 1999.
Chemical and petrochemical movements for the first half of 2000 were
strong. During the 2000 third quarter, the chemical and petrochemical industry
experienced some decrease in demand in their markets caused by a slower economy
and inventory adjustments, which resulted in some softness in movements of such
products. Refined product movements to the Midwest were strong in the 2000 first
quarter, seasonably steady in the second quarter and unseasonably soft in the
third quarter. During the

2000 third quarter, refined product movements declined earlier than the typical
slowdown after the Labor Day holiday. Fertilizer movements were unseasonably
strong in the 2000 first quarter, the result of low inventory levels in Midwest
terminals, and at expected levels for the 2000 second and third quarters. Black
oil and pressure product movements were at expected levels for the 2000 first
nine months.
Spot market rates trended upward to record high rates during the 2000
first half, the result of strong transportation markets. In the 2000 third
quarter, spot market rates declined approximately 10% from their record highs
due to the decline in refined product movements and softness in chemical
movements. During the 2000 first nine months, contract renewals were generally
at modestly higher rates. The marine transportation segment operates under
long-term contracts, short-term contracts and spot transactions for movements of
liquid products. During the 2000 third quarter and 2000 first nine months,
approximately 70% of movements were under term contracts and 30% were spot
transactions.
During the 1999 third quarter and first nine months, chemical and
petrochemical volumes remained strong. Refined products volumes, more seasonal
in nature, increased during the summer months and were steady during the
non-summer months. Liquid fertilizer and ammonia levels fell well below normal
expectations for both the 1999 third quarter and first nine months due to high
inventory levels in the Midwest. Overproduction of nitrogen in 1998 and 1999,
coupled with a 30-year low corn price level, deterred farmers from planting
corn. In the 1999 second and third quarters, producers curtailed output of
nitrogen products which resulted in decreased shipments by barge into the
Midwest. Spot markets rates continued to reflect modest quarter-to-quarter
increases during 1999 and term contracts were generally renewed at higher
levels.
The 2000 first quarter was negatively impacted by weather, but not to
the extent as the 1999 first quarter when navigational delays (weather, locks
and other restrictions) lowered the quarter's revenues due to increased transit
times. During the 2000 first quarter and third quarter, low water conditions on
the Mississippi River resulted in longer transit times and restricted drafts for
upriver movements, negatively impacting revenues. Weather and water conditions
for the 2000 and 1999 second quarters were favorable.
Revenues for the diesel engine services segment for the 2000 third
quarter and 2000 first nine months decreased 7% and 9%, respectively, compared
with the 1999 corresponding periods. During the 2000 third quarter and first
nine months, the segment experienced softness in its East Coast engine rebuild
market, as well as its Midwest marine and its rail markets. The segment did
benefit from stronger service work and parts sales to the Gulf of Mexico
drilling and offshore well services sector.
During the 1999 third quarter and first nine months, the diesel
engine services segment benefited from strong Midwest and East Coast engine
overhauls and parts sales. The Gulf Coast market remained weak, the result of
reduced service work in the offshore oil and gas services sector in the Gulf of
Mexico. In addition, the segment's rail market experienced slower activity
levels.

</TABLE>
Total costs and expenses, excluding interest expense, for the 2000
third quarter and first nine months increased 58% and 56%, respectively, when
compared with the corresponding periods of 1999. The 2000 third quarter and
first nine months costs and expenses included the expenses of Hollywood, as well
as reflecting higher equipment costs, fuel costs, labor, health and welfare
costs.
During the 2000 first nine months and particularly the third quarter,
the Company has experienced significantly higher fuel costs. The average price
per gallon consumed in the first, second and third quarter of 2000 was 79 cents,
78 cents and 93 cents, respectively, significantly higher than the average price
per gallon consumed of approximately 47 cents during the corresponding first
nine months of 1999. The Company's term contracts contain fuel escalation
clauses allowing increases or decreases in fuel costs to be passed through or
credited to its customers. Generally, there is a 30 to 90 day delay before
contracts are adjusted for fuel costs. The significant increase in fuel costs in
the 2000 third quarter reduced the Company's net earnings by an estimated $.02
per share.

During the 2000 third quarter and first nine months, the Company also
continued to incur additional administrative expenses associated with the
integration of Kirby's and Hollywood's accounting, information and dispatching
systems. The Company also incurred additional training expenses during the first
nine months of 2000 associated with the hiring and training of entry level
vessel personnel in order to maintain adequate crewing for the Company's vessels
in a very tight labor market.
The 2000 second quarter and first nine months included an additional
$482,000 pre-tax merger related charge associated with the acquisition of
Hollywood. In 1999, the Company's fourth quarter results included $4,502,000 of
pre-tax merger related charges, consisting of severance and related pay for
Kirby employees whose positions were eliminated, an abandonment charge for
Kirby's leased corporate headquarter's facility and a charge to exit an
insurance mutual. The additional 2000 second quarter charge resulted from the
early termination of the lease of Kirby's former corporate headquarters.

</TABLE>
Equity in earnings of marine affiliates, consisting primarily of four
offshore dry-cargo barge and tug units owned through a partnership with a public
utility of which the Company has a 35% interest, reflected a 10% decrease for
the 2000 third quarter and a 2% increase for the 2000 first nine months compared
with the corresponding 1999 periods. The 10% decrease for the 2000 third quarter
resulted from fewer coal and rock trips under the partnership's contract with
the public utility, as well as tropical weather delays. The 2% increase for the
2000 first nine months reflected the employment of the partnership's units under
the coal and rock contract at higher rates during the first six months of the
year. During the 1999 third quarter and first nine months, a higher percentage
of the partnership's units were operating in the spot market at lower rates.
The gain on disposition of assets of $1,164,000 for the 2000 first nine
months reflected the net gain on the sale of an inland towboat and a single-skin
tank barge in the 2000 third quarter, the sale of an inland towboat in the 2000
second quarter, and the sale during the 2000 first quarter of three inland
towboats and six single-skin tank barges. The sale of the three inland towboats
was part of the Company's ongoing efforts to optimize horsepower requirements.
The seven single-skin barges were scrapped.

Other expense for the 2000 third quarter and first nine months
reflected the recording of minority interest from approximately 25 inland tank
barges in partnerships acquired with the Hollywood acquisition, partially offset
by investment income. For the 1999 third quarter and first nine months, other
income was primarily from investment income.
The 166% increase in interest expense for the 2000 third quarter and
142% increase for the 2000 first nine months over the corresponding periods of
1999 primarily reflected interest expense on the borrowings to finance the
Hollywood acquisition. The average debt and average interest rate for the 2000
third quarter was $306,199,000 and 7.8%, compared with $119,259,000 and 7.7% for
the third quarter of 1999, respectively. For the 2000 first nine months, the
average debt was $312,210,000 and average interest rate was 7.5%, compared with
average debt of $129,003,000 and average interest rate of 7.7% for the 1999
first nine months.

Working capital as of September 30, 2000 totaled $33,755,000 compared
with $42,066,000 at June 30, 2000 and $31,258,000 at December 31, 1999. The
increase from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000 primarily reflected higher
trade accounts receivable during the period of the integration of the Company's
and Hollywood's billing systems. Partially offsetting the increase in trade
accounts receivable was an increase in accounts payable, primarily due to
increased shipyard activity during the 2000 first six months versus the 1999
fourth quarter. The September 30, 2000 working capital balance reflected the
completion of the integration of the two billing systems and a corresponding
decrease in trade accounts receivable. In addition, accounts payable as of
September 30, 2000 decreased due to a decline in shipyard activity during the
2000 third quarter.
Long-term debt, less current portion, of $292,221,000 as of September
30, 2000 decreased 8% during the 2000 first nine months, reflecting the
favorable cash flow from operating activities.
Stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2000 increased 10% during the
2000 first nine months, primarily reflecting the Company's net earnings of
$25,025,000, the issuance of $1,802,000 of common stock as a final post-closing
adjustment of the Hollywood acquisition and the repurchase of $3,350,000 of
common stock by the Company.
Merger Related Charge
In connection with the October 1999 acquisition of Hollywood, the
Company recorded $4,502,000 of pre-tax merger related charges in the fourth
quarter of 1999 to combine the acquired operations with those of the Company. In
June 2000, the Company recorded an additional $482,000 merger related charge
associated with the signing of a definitive agreement providing for the early
termination of the lease of the Company's former corporate headquarters. The
additional $482,000 charge was comprised of $381,000 in cash charges and a
non-cash charge of $101,000 related to the abandonment of certain equipment in
the Company's former corporate headquarters. The cash portion of the merger
related charges totaled $3,629,000. The components of the cash charge incurred,
the actual cash payments made, and the accrued balances at September 30, 2000
were as follows (in thousands):

Capital Expenditures
During the 2000 first nine months and the 1999 first nine months, the
Company purchased no new or existing marine transportation equipment. The
capital expenditures for the 2000 third quarter and first nine months of
$9,630,000 and $37,732,000, respectively, and for the 1999 third quarter and
first nine months of $1,680,000 and $11,062,000, respectively, were primarily
for upgrading the Company's existing marine transportation fleet. In September
2000, the Company entered into a contract for the construction of six double
skin 29,000 barrel capacity inland tank barges for use in the movement of
chemicals, petrochemicals and refined products. Delivery of the first barge is
scheduled for February 2001 with the remaining five barges scheduled to be
delivered one every 60 days. The total purchase price of the six barges,
including enhancements after delivery, is approximately $8,500,000. The Company
intends on financing the construction of the six tank barges through its
operating cash flows and its available credit under its existing revolving
credit agreement.
Treasury Stock Purchases
During the 2000 first nine months, the Company purchased in the open
market 173,000 shares of common stock at a total purchase price of $3,350,000,
for an average price of $19.35 per share. During the 2000 third quarter, the
Company purchased 30,000 shares of its common stock at a total purchase price of
$635,000, for an average price of $21.18 per share. Since October 1, 2000, the
Company has purchased 524,000 shares of its common stock at a total purchase
price of $9,602,000, for an average price of $18.33 per share. As of November 6,
2000, the Company had 1,665,000 shares available under its repurchase
authorization. The treasury stock purchases were financed by borrowings under
the Company's revolving credit agreement and through cash provided by operating
activities. The Company is authorized to purchase its common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange and in privately negotiated transactions. When purchasing
its common stock, the Company is subject to price, trading volume and other
market considerations. Shares purchased may be used for reissuance upon the
exercise of stock options, in future acquisitions for stock or for other
appropriate corporate purposes.
Liquidity
The Company generated net cash provided by operating activities of
$59,163,000 and $54,549,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The 2000 first nine months was positively impacted by higher
net earnings and higher depreciation and amortization, primarily the result of
the merger with Hollywood, and negatively impacted by an increase in working
capital as detailed above. The 1999 first nine months benefited from favorable
cash flow from working capital of $15,936,000.

Funds generated are available for acquisitions of core businesses,
capital construction projects, treasury stock repurchases, repayment of
borrowings associated with each of the above, and for other operating
requirements. In addition to its net cash flow provided by operating activities,
the Company also has available as of November 6, 2000, $50,100,000 under its
revolving credit agreement and $121,000,000 under its medium term note program.
The Company's scheduled principal payments during the next 12 months are
$5,335,000. On June 1, 2000, $45,000,000 of the Company's medium term notes
matured. These notes were paid through a draw-down under the Company's revolving
credit agreements.
On October 9, 2000, the $200,000,000 revolving credit facility used to
finance the Hollywood acquisition converted to a four-year term loan, with
quarterly principal payments of $12,500,000, plus interest, due beginning
October 9, 2002. The remaining principal and interest is due on October 9, 2004,
the maturity date of the credit facility.
During the last three months, inflationary expenses, with the exception
of fuel costs, have had a relatively minor effect on the financial results of
the Company. The marine transportation segment has long-term contracts which
generally contain cost escalation clauses whereby fuel costs can be passed
through to its customers; however, there is typically a 30 to 90 day delay
before contracts are adjusted for fuel prices. During the 2000 third quarter,
fuel costs increased substantially and the Company was unable to recover its
additional fuel cost from its customers. When fuel prices go down, the Company
will benefit from the decline over a 30 to 90 day period. The repair portion of
the diesel engine services segment is based on prevailing current market rates.
The Company does not have an established dividend policy. Decisions
regarding the payment of future dividends will be made by the Board of Directors
based on the facts and circumstances that exist at that time. Since 1989, the
Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock.
Accounting Standards
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS No. 133")
issued in June 1998, establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. This statement requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133, as amended,
in the first quarter of 2001 and does not expect it to have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Subsequent Events
In late October and early November 2000, the Company completed the
acquisitions of two diesel engine services companies for an aggregate purchase
price of $8,428,000. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and goodwill will be amortized over 10 and 15 years.
Financing for the two acquisitions was through the Company's revolving credit
agreement.
