                            MEXCO ENERGY CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             June 30, 1998 and 1997


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of the Company,  the accompanying  unaudited financial statements
contain all  adjustments  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of
the  Company  as of June 30,  1998 and the  results  of its  operations  for the
three-month  periods  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997.  

The  results of  operations  for the  three-months  ended June 30,  1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The  consolidated  balance  sheets as of March 31, 1998 have been prepared based
upon the Company's audited balance sheets as of that date.



                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                  OF THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended June 30, 1998

For the quarter ended June 30, 1998,  revenues from the sale of oil and gas were
$183,462 and  $266,033,  respectively.  The Company's  production  for the first
quarter was 14,206 bbls and 126,734 mcf.  Average oil and gas prices were $12.91
and $2.10, respectively. For quarter ended June 30, 1997, revenues from the sale
of  oil  and  gas  were  $269,441  and  $185,262,  respectively.  The  Company's
production  was 14,849  bbls and 96,658  mcf.  Average  oil and gas prices  were
$18.15 and $1.92,  respectively.  Oil revenues  decreased $85,979 or 32% for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1997,  due
to price and production  decreases.  Production  decreases were primarily due to
normal declines,  offset in part by the acquisition and development of producing
properties.  Gas  revenues  increased  $80,771  or 44% for the first  quarter of
fiscal  1998 as  compared  to the same  period of  fiscal  1997 due to price and
production increases. Production increases were primarily due to the acquisition
and development of producing properties.

Production costs increased from $127,901 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to
$176,383 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998.  This  increase of $48,482 or 38%
was primarily  attributable  to additional  operating costs from the acquisition
and development of producing proper
ties.

Depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  increased,  by $304,973 or 159%, to
$496,345 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period of
fiscal 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to an impairment of oil and
gas  properties  of  $288,393  resulting  from lower oil prices and the  related
downward adjustment of estimated reserves.

General and administrative  expenses decreased from $72,372 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 to $66,415 for the same period of fiscal 1998.  The decrease
of $5,957 or 8% is due primarily to accounting and legal costs  associated  with
property acquisitions in fiscal 1997.

Interest  income  increased  $1,027 due to increased  funds  invested in a money
market account.

Interest expense increased $7,583 or 24% due to additional  principal borrowings
against the Company's line of credit.

During the first quarter,  the Company  participated in the successful  drilling
and completion of four producing wells  (approximately  10% working interest and
8% net revenue interest) in the Viejos Field, Pecos County, Texas.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Commitments

Working capital decreased  $284,440 from March 31, 1998 primarily due to current
maturities of long term debt.

The Company has a $3,000,000  revolving  line of credit with a borrowing base of
$2,200,000  which is reduced by $50,000  each month  throughout  the term of the
loan.  The loan is reviewed by the bank annually and matures on August 15, 2000.
The Company currently has outstanding borrowings of $1,822,000 against the line.
The obligations under the loan agreement are secured by substantially all of the
oil and gas properties of the Company and the stock of its subsidiary.  The loan
agreement contains certain covenants relating to the financial  condition of the
Company.  Interest is payable  monthly at the prime rate (8.5% at June 30, 1998)
as established by the bank.

The Company  also has a letter of credit with the same bank which  provides  for
unsecured  borrowings of up to $25,000 in lieu of a plugging bond with the Texas
Railroad Commission covering properties operated by the Company.

The  Company  believes  that it will  have  sufficient  capital  available  from
borrowings  combined  with cash flows from  operations  to fund  future  capital
expenditures and to meet its financial obligations for the next twelve months.

Management cannot specifically identify the effects of inflation and other price
changes on operations.
