                             PETROQUEST ENERGY, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial information for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, has been prepared by the Company and was
not audited by its independent public accountants. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments have been made to present fairly the financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows of the Company at June 30, 2000 and for all
reported periods. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any
future periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, any references in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q to the "Company" refer to PetroQuest Energy, Inc. and its
consolidated subsidiaries, PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (Louisiana) and PetroQuest
Energy One, L.L.C.

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform with
the current year presentation.

NOTE 2   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share was computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods.
Diluted earnings per common share was computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares issued and outstanding plus all potentially dilutive
common shares that would have been outstanding in the relevant periods assuming
the issuance of common shares for stock options and warrants through the
application of the treasury stock method. There were no antidilutive shares for
the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2000. The assumed conversion of
certain stock options and warrants into 1,002,300 shares of the Company's common
stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 as the effect was antidilutive.

NOTE 3   LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company's borrowing base under the reducing revolving line of credit at June
30, 2000 was $3,550,000 and reduces $225,000 per month on the first day of each
month thereafter. At June 30, 2000, $3,100,000 was outstanding under this
facility. The next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled for August 2000.
Interest under the loan is payable monthly at prime plus 1/2% (10% at June 30,
2000). Amounts outstanding under this line of credit were paid in July with
proceeds received from the private placement (discussed below).

On April 21, 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement for non-recourse
financing to fund completion, flow line and facility costs of its High Island
Block 494 property. The property is security for the loan. Interest is payable
at 12% and the lender receives a 2 1/2% overriding royalty interest in the
property. For the first three production months, all of the net cash flow from
the property was dedicated to payment of principal and interest on the loan.
Subsequently, 85% of the net cash flow from the property (assuming production
levels of 12.5 MMcf/day) is dedicated to debt service. The well began producing
during the first part of July 1999. $1,763,000 remains outstanding under this
loan at June 30, 2000.

NOTE 4    PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

The Company filed a Form 8-K on July 21, 2000, reporting the funding of a
private placement of 4.89 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of
$2.50 per share for a total consideration of $12,225,000 before fees and
expenses. The Company received proceeds of $10,000,000 before fees and expenses
by June 30, 2000 and recorded an additional $1,182,250 of common stock
subscriptions receivables in the accompanying balance sheet. These subscriptions
were paid on July 20, 2000. The proceeds from the private placement will be used
to build and install production facilities, and for development drilling and
completion activities.

The Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the
Company's common stock issued in the private placement within 30 days after the
closing of the transaction. Such filing occurred on July 28, 2000. The
securities offered pursuant to the private placement were not registered under
the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

NOTE 5   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards that require every derivative instrument (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) to be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS
No. 133 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2001.

Because the Company does not currently use derivative instruments, the adoption
of SFAS No. 133 will not impact the Company's financial statements.

ITEM 2.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

PetroQuest Energy, Inc. is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the
acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas properties
onshore and offshore in the Gulf Coast Region. The Company and its predecessors
have been active in this area since 1986, which gives the Company extensive
geophysical, technical and operational expertise in this area.

The Company's business strategy is to increase production, cash flow and
reserves through exploration, development and acquisition of properties located
in the Gulf Coast Region. At June 30, 2000, the Company operated 74% of all
wells in which it participated. For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
approximately 20% of the Company's equivalent production is oil and 80% is gas.
Before year-end, the Company plans to drill six new wells, two of which are
offshore.

</TABLE>

The net income (loss) totaled $1,036,000 and $(795,000) for the quarters ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net income for the six months ended June
30, 2000 was $1,666,000 as compared to net loss of $(1,258,000) for the first
six months of 1999. The positive results are due to the following components:

PRODUCTION. Oil produced in 2000 increased 74% and 61% over the second quarter
and six months ended 1999, respectively. Natural gas produced in 2000 increased
48% and 55% over the second quarter and six months ended 1999, respectively. On
a Mcfe basis, 2000 production for the second quarter and six months increased
52% and 56%, respectively, over 1999.

The increase in 2000 production volumes, as compared to 1999, was due primarily
to three new wells that were not producing in 1999. CL&F#13 and CL&F#14 at
Turtle Bayou and Valentine Sugars #1 came on-line in October 1999, December
1999, and May 2000, respectively. Oil production in the first half of 2000 was
also boosted by the Company's Bully Camp Field, which was shut-in the first half
of 1999 due to low product prices.

PRICES. Average oil prices for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
2000 were $26.03 and $26.73, respectively, as compared to $16.42 and $13.21 for
the same periods in 1999. Average gas prices were $3.52 and $3.06 for the second
quarter and six months ended 2000, respectively, as compared to $2.13 and $2.01
for the same periods in 1999. Stated on a Mcfe basis, unit prices received
during the second quarter and the first six months of 2000 were 65% and 62%
higher, respectively, than the prices received during the comparable 1999
period.

REVENUE. Oil and gas sales during the second quarter of 2000 increased 150% to
$3,803,000, as compared to second quarter 1999 revenues of $1,513,000. For the
first six months of 2000, oil and gas sales increased 155% to $6,902,000,
compared to oil and gas revenues of $2,710,000 during the 1999 period. The
strong rise in product prices coupled with the growth in production volumes
resulted in significant increases in revenue.

EXPENSES. Lease operating expenses for the second quarter of 2000 increased to
$694,000 from $567,000 during the second quarter of 1999. Lease operating
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased to $1,297,000 from
$975,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The rise in lease operating
expenses for 2000 is primarily due to the three new wells that began operating
after June 30, 1999, and workovers in the Valentine and Deer Island Fields. On a
Mcfe basis, lease operating expenses for the second quarter decreased from $0.84
per Mcfe in 1999 to $0.67 in 2000 and from $0.74 per Mcfe in 1999 to $0.62 in
2000 for the first six months due to increased production volumes with nominal
increases in operating costs.



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

General and administrative expenses during the second quarter of 2000 totaled
$739,000 as compared to expenses of $428,000 during the 1999 quarter. For the
six months ended June 30, 2000 general and administrative expenses were
$1,341,000 compared to $711,000 in 1999. The increases in overhead expenses are
primarily due to a 25% increase in personnel due to increased activity in 2000.
In addition, the Company expensed $240,000 for fees and expenses related to a
mezzanine debt financing, which was not completed in favor of the Company's
successfully completed private placement.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 increased 17% from the 1999 period. The rise in DD&A is due
to bringing the three new wells on-line. On a Mcfe basis, which reflects the
changes in production, the DD&A rate for the first six months of 2000 was $1.13
per Mcfe compared to $1.52 per Mcfe for the same period in 1999. For the second
quarter of 2000, DD&A per Mcfe was $1.16 compared to $1.66 for the comparable
period in 1999. The reduction in per unit of DD&A is due to reserve additions at
Valentine and Turtle Bayou Fields and Vermilion Block 376.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

WORKING CAPITAL AND CASH FLOW. For the first six months of 2000, working capital
(before considering the current portion of debt) increased from $1.6 million in
1999 to $4.1 million in 2000. The increase in working capital is primarily the
result of improved operating results and the private placement of common stock
partially offset by expenditures for exploration and development.

The Company's borrowing base under the reducing revolving line of credit at June
30, 2000 was $3,550,000 and reduces $225,000 per month on the first day of each
month. At June 30, 2000, $3,100,000 was outstanding under this facility. The
next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled for August 2000. Interest under
the loan is payable monthly at prime plus 1/2% (10% at June 30, 2000). Amounts
outstanding under this line of credit were paid in July with proceeds received
from the private placement.

On April 21, 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement for non-recourse
financing to fund completion, flow line and facility costs of its High Island
Block 494 property. The property is security for the loan. Interest is payable
at 12% and the lender receives a 2 1/2% overriding royalty interest in the
property. For the first three production months, all of the net cash flow from
the property was dedicated to payment of principal and interest on the loan.
Subsequently, 85% of the net cash flow from the property (assuming production
levels of 12.5 MMcf/day) is dedicated to debt service. The well began producing
during the first part of July 1999. $1,763,000 remains outstanding under this
loan at June 30, 2000.

Net cash flow from operations before working capital changes increased from
$754,000 in 1999 to $4,128,000 in 2000. This is the result of increased
production due to the Company's successful drilling program and higher product
prices.

The Company filed a Form 8-K on July 21, 2000, reporting funding of a private
placement of 4.89 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.50
per share for a total consideration of $12,225,000 before fees and expenses. The
Company received proceeds of $10,000,000 before fees and expenses by June 30,
2000 and recorded an additional $1,182,250 of common stock subscription
receivables in the accompanying balance sheet. These subscriptions were paid on
July 20, 2000. The proceeds from the private placement will be used to build and
install production facilities, and for development drilling and completion
activities.

Management believes the funds received from the private placement, cash flows
from operations and additional borrowing capacity will be sufficient in the near
term to fund exploration and development activities. In the future, our
exploration activities could require additional financings, which may include
sales of additional equity or debt securities, additional bank borrowings or
joint venture arrangements with industry partners. There can be no assurances
that such additional financings will be available on acceptable terms, if at
all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it could be forced
to delay or even abandon some of its exploration and development opportunities.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts
included in and incorporated by reference into this Form 10Q are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation,
statements regarding the Company's estimate of the sufficiency of its existing
capital resources and its ability to raise additional capital to fund



                                       10

cash requirements for future operations, and regarding the uncertainties
involved in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves and in
projecting future rates or production and timing of development expenditures.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot give any assurance that
such expectation reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to
have been correct.

When used in the Form 10-Q, the words, "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan,"
"believe," "seek," "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain
these identifying words. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed
or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of important
reasons, including those discussed under "Management's Discussions and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", and elsewhere in this Form
10-Q.

Item 3.       DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The Company's indebtedness under its line of credit is variable rate financing.
The Company believes that its exposure to market risk relating to interest rate
changes is limited due to the relatively low level of debt outstanding at June
30, 2000. The Company believes that its business operations are not exposed to
market risks relating to foreign currency exchange risk.

              Price Risk

The Company's revenues are derived from the sale of its crude oil and natural
gas production. Based on projected annual sales volumes for the remaining six
months of 2000, a 10% decline in the prices the Company receives for its crude
oil and natural gas production would have an approximate $875,000 impact on the
Company's revenues.
