                     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 June 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the three months and
six months ended June 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.

(2)      ACQUISITION - (Continued)

         The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information for

results of operations that would have occurred had the merger been consummated
at the beginning of the year indicated, nor is the information indicative of the
future results of operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(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.
With the issuance of SFAS No. 137, SFAS No. 133 is now effective for all
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company plans to
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.

(4)      COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

$10,603,000, or $.52 per share, on revenues of $162,536,000 for the 1999 first
six 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 second quarter were 24,751,000 and 20,220,000,
respectively, and for the 2000 and 1999 first six months were 24,673,000 and
20,341,000, 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
with the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 (dollars in thousands):

           Revenues for the marine transportation segment increased 76% for the
2000 second quarter compared with the 1999 second quarter and increased 81% for
the 2000 first six months compared with the 1999 first six months, primarily due
to the acquisition of Hollywood in October 1999.

           During the 2000 second quarter and first six months, chemical and
petrochemical movements were strong. Refined product and fertilizer movements to
the Midwest were strong in the 2000 first quarter and seasonably steady in the
2000 second quarter. The strong first quarter refined products movements were
the result of low Midwest inventory levels and favorable price differentials
between the Gulf Coast and Chicago. The strong first quarter fertilizer
movements were the result of low inventory levels in the Midwest terminals.
Black oil and pressure products movements were at expected levels for both the
2000 second quarter and first six months.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

           During the 2000 second quarter and first six months, spot market
rates continued to trend upward and 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 second quarter and 2000 first six months,
approximately 70% of movements were under term contracts and 30% were spot
transactions. This compares with the 1999 second quarter and first six months
when approximately 75% of movements were under term contracts and 25% were
spot transactions.

           During the 1999 second quarter and first six months, chemical and
petrochemical volumes were solid. Refined product volumes increased in May and
June in anticipation of the summer driving season. Liquid fertilizer and ammonia
volumes fell below normal spring expectations due to high fertilizer inventory
in the Midwest, the result of overproduction of nitrogen in 1999 and 1998,
coupled with a 30-year low corn price. Spot market rates reflected modest
quarter to quarter increases during the 1999 first half and term contracts were
generally renewed at higher rates.

           The 2000 first quarter was negatively impacted by weather, but not to
the degree as the 1999 first quarter. During the 2000 first quarter, low water
conditions on the Mississippi, Ohio and Illinois Rivers through mid-February
resulted in longer transit times and restricted drafts for upriver movements,
both of which negatively impacted revenues. Water conditions during the 2000
second quarter were favorable. During the 1999 second quarter, operating
conditions improved over the 1999 first quarter when navigational delays
(weather, locks and other restrictions) lowered the quarter's revenues due to
increased transit times.

           Revenues for the diesel engine services segment for the 2000 second
quarter and 2000 first six months decreased 10% compared with the 1999
corresponding periods. During the 2000 second quarter and first six months, the
segment experienced softness in its East Coast engine rebuild market, as well as
its Midwest marine and rail markets. The segment did benefit from modest
improvements in service work and parts sales to the Gulf of Mexico drilling and
offshore well services sector.

           During the 1999 second quarter and first six 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.

</TABLE>

           Total costs and expenses, excluding interest expense, for the 2000
second quarter and first six months increased 53% and 55%, respectively, when
compared with the corresponding periods of 1999. The 2000 second quarter and
first six months costs and expenses included the expenses of Hollywood, as well
as reflecting higher equipment costs, labor, health and welfare costs.

           The 2000 second quarter and first six months also reflected higher
fuel costs, with the average price per gallon consumed 26 cents and 33 cents,
respectively, higher than the average price per gallon consumed during the 1999
corresponding periods. The marine transportation segment has long-term contracts
which generally contain fuel escalation clauses which allows increases in fuel
prices to be passed through to the customers. As stated above, both the 2000 and
the 1999 first quarters were negatively impacted by weather conditions, which
decreased revenues and increased operating expenses. Ice conditions, and low and
high water conditions require additional horsepower to complete movements,
additional fuel and other variable expenses associated with longer transit
times.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

           The 2000 second quarter and first six months included an additional
$482,000 pre-tax merger related charge associated with the acquisition of
Hollywood. In 1999, the Company's 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 reflected a 32% increase for
the 2000 second quarter and a 10% increase for the 2000 first six months
compared with the corresponding 1999 periods. During both 2000 periods, the
partnership's offshore dry-cargo barge and tug units were primarily employed
under the partnership's coal and rock contract with a public utility at higher
rates when compared with the 1999 second quarter and first six months, when a
higher percentage of the units were operating in the spot market at lower rates.

         The gain on disposition of assets of $1,019,000 for the 2000 second
quarter and $1,068,000 for the 2000 first six months reflected the gain on 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 towboats was part of the Company's ongoing efforts to optimize
horsepower requirements. The six single-skin barges were scrapped.

         Other expense for the 2000 second quarter and first six 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 second quarter and first six months, other
income was primarily from investment income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

         The 132% increase in interest expense for the 2000 second quarter and
131% increase for the 2000 first half 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 second
quarter was $314,200,000 and 7.52%, compared with $132,100,000 and 7.27% for the
second quarter of 1999, respectively. For the 2000 first half, the average debt
was $315,300,000 and average interest rate was 7.43%, compared with average debt
of $134,000,000 and average interest rate of 7.25% for the 1999 first half.

         Working capital as of June 30, 2000 totaled $42,066,000 compared with
$31,258,000 as of December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to
a $19,095,000, or 27% increase in trade accounts receivable, partially offset by
a $10,231,000, or 34% increase in accounts payable. The increase in trade
accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase in the number of days to
bill customers, the result of the integration in the 2000 second quarter of the
Company's and Hollywood's

billing systems under one system. The system integration is now complete, and
trade accounts receivable is anticipated to decrease significantly in the third
quarter. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to increased
shipyard activity during the 2000 first six months versus the 1999 fourth
quarter.

         Long-term debt, less current portion, of $313,604,000 as of June 30,
2000 decreased 1% during the 2000 first half however, increased 3% when compared
with the March 31, 2000 balance of $305,188,000. During the 2000 first quarter,
the Company experienced favorable cash flow from operating activities. During
the 2000 second quarter, cash flow provided by operating activities decreased
significantly, primarily the result of a $14,706,000 increase in trade accounts
receivable at June 30, 2000 compared with March 31, 2000.

         Stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2000 increased 7% during the 2000
first half, primarily reflecting the Company's net earnings of $15,947,000, the
issuance of $1,802,000 of common stock as a final post-closing adjustment of the
Hollywood acquisition and the repurchase of $2,715,000 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 June 30, 2000 were as
follows (in thousands):

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY - (CONTINUED)

Capital Expenditures

         During the 2000 first six months and the 1999 first six months, the
Company purchased no new or existing marine transportation equipment. The
capital expenditures for the 2000 second quarter and first six months of
$14,791,000 and $28,102,000, respectively, and for the 1999 second quarter and
first six months of $3,925,000 and $9,382,000, respectively, were primarily for
upgrading the Company's existing marine transportation fleet. As of June 30,
2000, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Treasury Stock Purchases

         During the 2000 first six months, the Company purchased in the open
market 143,000 shares of common stock at a total purchase price of $2,715,000,
for an average price of $18.97 per share. During the 2000 second quarter, the
Company purchased 40,000 shares of its common stock at a total purchase price of
$836,000, for an average price of $20.84 per share. As of August 7, 2000, the
Company had 2,214,000 shares available under its repurchase authorization. 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
$27,389,000 and $32,519,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The 2000 first half was positively impacted by higher net earnings
and higher depreciation and amortization, primarily the result of the merger
with Hollywood, and negatively impacted by a $14,545,000 decrease in working
capital as detailed above. The 1999 first half benefited from favorable cash
flow from working capital of $7,466,000.

         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 August 7, 2000, $48,500,000 under its
revolving credit agreements 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.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY - (CONTINUED)

         During the last three months, inflation has 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 certain costs, including fuel, can be passed through to its customers.
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.
With the issuance of SFAS No. 137, SFAS No. 133 is now effective for all
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company plans to
