ITEM 7.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

           (a)   Pro Forma Information

           BLUE DOLPHIN ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

INTRODUCTION

      The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements for Blue
Dolphin Energy Company (the "Company") give effect to (i) the purchase of a 75%
ownership interest in American Resources Offshore Inc. ("American Resources"),
(ii) the private placement of 1,016,718 shares of the Company's common stock,
par value $.01 per share, and (iii) the issuance of a $1,000,000 principal
amount convertible promissory note due June 1, 2000.

      The pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes
only and does not purport to represent what the Company's results would be if
the transactions occurred at the dates indicated, nor does such information
purport to project the results of operations for any future period or as of any
future date due to American Resources disposing of all of its onshore oil and
gas properties, an 80% interest in its Gulf of Mexico oil and gas properties,
and settling substantially all of its debts. American Resources's remaining
assets are an average 6% working interest in 8 producing oil and gas properties
located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The pro forma condensed financial
information should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto together with
the Company's and American Resources's historical financial statements and the
notes thereto, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations", contained in the respective Reports on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1998, and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 1999.

      The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1999,
assumes that the transactions were completed as of that date. The unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1999, and the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1998, assumed that the transactions were completed effective
January 1, 1998. Since the acquisition of a 75% ownership interest in American
Resources is accounted for using purchase accounting and American Resources uses
the successful efforts method to account for its oil and gas properties,
American Resources's historical and Pro Forma Balance Sheets are not included in
the Company's Pro Forma Financial Statements below.

                NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BALANCE SHEET

(1)   The Company completed a $7,100,000 private placement consisting of
      1,016,718 shares of its common stock and a $1,000,000 convertible
      promissory note from a director of the Company, to fund the acquisition of
      American Resources. Approximately $1,900,000 of the proceeds from the
      private placement was provided by the holders of the Company's promissory
      notes due December 31, 2000, tendering their promissory notes in exchange
      for common stock. The common stock was sold at $6.00 per share.

(2)   The Company purchased a 75% ownership interest in American Resources for
      approximately $4,500,000. The American Resources balances consolidated
      into the Company reflect transactions that were required to be completed
      on or before the Company's purchase of the 75% ownership interest in
      American Resources. These transactions included the disposition of all
      American Resources's onshore oil and gas properties and an 80% interest in
      its Gulf of Mexico oil and gas properties; and American Resources settling
      substantially all of its debts. American Resources's remaining assets are
      an average 6% working interest in 8 producing oil and gas properties
      located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

(3)   To reflect the transactions required to be completed on or before the
      Company's purchase of a 75% ownership interest in American Resources.
      These transactions included the disposition of all of American Resources's
      onshore oil and gas properties and an 80% interest in its Gulf of Mexico
      oil and gas properties; and American Resources settling substantially all
      of its debts.

(4)   Interest on a $5,000,000 note payable from American Resources to the
      Company of $450,000 and $338,000 is eliminated from the Company's Pro
      Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
      nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.

(5)   The general and administrative expenses reported by American Resources for
      the year ended December 31, 1998 and nine months ended September 30, 1999
      have not been adjusted, even though the Company expects actual G&A to be
      lower due to the elimination of duplicate services and personnel.
