                 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 March 31,
2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 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

(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 beginnings after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 is
effective for the Company's year ending December 31, 2001 and is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

(4)      COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         Certain outstanding options to purchase approximately 1.0 million and
1.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2000 and
March 31, 1999, respectively. Such options were excluded in the computation of
diluted earnings per share because they would have been antidilutive.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

         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 first quarter were 24,594,000 and 20,447,000,
respectively. The increase in the weighted average number of common shares for
the 2000 first quarter compared with the 1999 first quarter 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 ended March 31, 2000 compared with the three
months ended March 31, 1999 (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>


         Revenues for the marine transportation segment increased 86% for the
2000 first quarter compared with the 1999 first quarter, primarily due to the
acquisition of Hollywood in October 1999. In the 2000 first quarter, chemical,
petrochemical and black oil movements were strong. Refined products and
fertilizer movements to the Midwest were unseasonably strong, with the slower
part of the season normally occurring during the first and fourth quarters. The
strong refined products movements were the result of low Midwest inventory
levels and favorable price differentials between the Gulf Coast and Chicago. The
stronger than normal fertilizer movements were the result of low inventory
levels in the Midwest terminals.

         During the 2000 first quarter, revenues reflected a modest continual
upward trend in spot market rates 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 first quarter, approximately 70% of movements
were under term contracts and 30% were spot transactions, compared with the 1999
first quarter when approximately 75% of movements were under term contracts and
25% were spot transactions.

         The 2000 first quarter was negatively impacted by weather, but, not to
the degree as the first quarter of 1999. Low water conditions on the
Mississippi, Ohio and Illinois Rivers through mid-February 2000 resulted in
longer transit times and restricted drafts for upriver movements, both of which
negatively impacted revenues.

         For the 1999 first quarter, chemical and petrochemical movements were
strong, while refined product movements and fertilizer movements were seasonably
soft. Spot market rates reflected modest

increases and contracts were generally renewed at modestly higher rates.
However, the effect of the rate increases was offset by navigational delays
(weather, locks and other restrictions), which lowered the 1999 first quarter's
revenues due to increased transit times.

           The diesel engine services segment's revenues for the 2000 first
quarter decreased 9% compared with the segment's 1999 first quarter revenues, as
the prior year first quarter included accelerated service demands from certain
Midwest and East Coast customers. For the 2000 first quarter, the segment
benefited from the slowly mending Gulf Coast oil and gas services sector, a
strong inland river market and a strong nuclear market. During the 1999 first
quarter, the Gulf Coast oil and gas services sector was weak, however, the Gulf
Coast mechanics were dispatched to the Midwest and the East Coast to meet the
accelerated service demands noted above.

         The following table sets forth the costs and expenses and percentage of
each for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with the three months
ended March 31, 1999 (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>


         Total costs and expenses, excluding interest expense, for the 2000
first quarter increased 57% compared with the 1999 first quarter. The 2000 first
quarter costs and expenses included the expenses of Hollywood. In addition, the
2000 first quarter reflected higher equipment costs, labor, health and welfare
costs.

         The 2000 first quarter costs and expenses also reflected higher fuel
costs, with the average price per gallon consumed 36 cents higher than the
average price per gallon consumed during the 1999 first quarter. 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.

</TABLE>


         Other expense of $107,000 for the 2000 first quarter reflected
investment income, a net gain on disposition of assets and the recording of
minority interest from approximately 25 inland tank barges in partnerships
acquired with the Hollywood acquisition. During the 2000 first quarter, the
Company sold three inland towboats and six single-skin tank barges for a $49,000
net gain, which generated $1,869,000 of cash. Other income of $187,000 for the
1999 first quarter was primarily from investment income.

         The 130% increase in interest expense for the 2000 first quarter over
the 1999 first quarter primarily reflected interest expense on the borrowings to
finance the Hollywood acquisition. The average debt and average interest rate
for the 2000 first quarter was $316,359,000 and 7.33%, compared with
$135,800,000 and 7.23% for the 1999 first quarter, respectively.

         Working capital as of March 31, 2000 totaled $24,562,000 compared with
$31,258,000 as December 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily attributable to 33%
increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a 6% increase in trade
accounts receivable. The increase in accounts payable is primarily due to
increased shipyard activity during the 2000 first quarter versus the 1999 fourth
quarter. The increase in trade accounts receivable was driven by higher marine
transportation and diesel engine services revenues in the 2000 first quarter
versus the 1999 fourth quarter.

         Long-term debt, less current portion, decreased 4% during the 2000
first quarter, reflecting the payment of $11,084,000 of long-term debt, the
result of the favorable cash flow provided by operating activities during the
quarter, discussed below under Liquidity.

         Stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2000 increased 3% during the 2000
first quarter, primarily reflecting the Company's net earnings of $6,067,000,
the issuance of $1,802,000 of common stock as a final post-closing adjustment of
the Hollywood acquisition and the repurchase of $1,879,000 of common stock by
the Company.

         In connection with the acquisition of Hollywood, the Company recorded
$4,502,000 of pre-tax merger related charges to combine the acquired operations
with those of the Company. The cash portion of the merger related charges
totaled $3,248,000. The components of the cash charge incurred, the actual cash
payments made, and the accrued balances at March 31, 2000 are as follows (in

</TABLE>

         The Company expects that the accrued severance remaining will be paid
by the end of 2000. The duplicate facilities reserve remaining is expected to be
paid throughout the lease term which expires in August 2003.

Capital Expenditures

         During the 2000 first quarter and the 1999 first quarter, the Company
purchased no new or existing marine transportation equipment. The capital
expenditures for the 2000 first quarter of $13,311,000 and for the 1999 first
quarter of $5,457,000 were primarily for upgrading the Company's existing marine
transportation fleet. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had no material
commitments for capital expenditures.

Treasury Stock Purchases

         During the 2000 first quarter, the Company purchased in the open market
103,000 shares of common stock at a total purchase price of $1,879,000, for an
average price of $18.24 per share. As of May 9, 2000, the Company had 2,259,000
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.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY - (CONTINUED)

Liquidity

         The Company generated net cash provided by operating activities of
$24,279,000 and $24,427,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Both comparable quarters were positively impacted by favorable
cash flow from working capital, $5,628,000 for the 2000 first quarter and
$13,292,000 for the 1999 first quarter.

         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 May 9, 2000, $93,500,000 under its
$100,000,000 revolving credit agreement, $5,000,000 under its $200,000,000
senior credit facility and $121,000,000 under its medium term note program. The
Company's scheduled principal payments during the next 12 months are
$50,335,000. On June 1, 2000, $45,000,000 of the Company's medium term notes
mature. These notes were classified as long-term at March 31, 2000 and December
31, 1999, as the Company has the ability and the intent to refinance the notes
on a long-term basis through available credit facilities.

         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 beginnings after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 is
effective for the Company's year ending December 31, 2001 and is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations

YEAR 2000

         During 1999, the Company initiated a program to prepare the Company's
land-based and vessel-based computer systems for the "Year 2000 Issue." The
Company designed and implemented an action plan to determine the likely
exposure of the Company and its subsidiaries to the Year 2000 Issue and to take
the necessary action to minimize the impact of those exposures. The Company's
Year 2000 Issue action plan addressed both internal and external exposures. The
Company incurred approximately $100,000 of expenses related to the Year 2000
Issue. The Company did not encounter any critical system application or
hardware failures during the date rollover to the Year 2000, and has not
experienced any disruptions of business activities as a result of Year 2000
Issue failures encountered by customers, suppliers and service providers.
