                             PETROQUEST ENERGY, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial information for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 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
September 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. (Delaware) and
its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (Louisiana)
and PetroQuest Energy One, L.L.C. (a single member Louisiana limited liability
company).

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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000. The assumed
conversion of certain stock options and warrants into 2,553,696 shares and
871,575 shares of the Company's common stock, respectively, for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively, were excluded from
the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect was antidilutive.

NOTE 3   LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company's borrowing base under the reducing revolving line of credit at
September 30, 2000 was $2,875,000. At September 30, 2000, there was no
outstanding debt under this facility. The Company's borrowing base was
redetermined on October 3, 2000 and was increased to $10,000,000. A subsequent
borrowing base redetermination occurred on November 13, 2000 and was increased
to $11,500,000. Beginning January 1, 2001, the borrowing base shall reduce each
month by $400,000. The next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled for
April 2001. Borrowings under the reducing revolving line of credit bear interest
at either the prime rate or LIBOR plus 250 basis points, at the option of the
Company. The revolving credit facility matures June 1, 2002.

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 July 1999. At September 30, 2000, $1,465,165 remains outstanding under
this loan.

NOTE 4    PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On July 20, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 4.89 million
shares of common stock to accredited investors at a purchase price of $2.50 per
share for a total consideration of $12,225,000 before fees and expenses. After
fees and expenses, including $644,168 in commissions, proceeds to the Company
were $11,294,000. The proceeds will be used to build and install production
facilities, and for development drilling and completion activities. The issuance
of the common stock was exempt from registration under Section 4 (2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company has registered the resale of
the common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3.

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 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2001.

The Company is currently not obligated to any derivative instrument or hedging
contract and, therefore, would not be subject to SFAS No. 133 disclosure
requirements. However, depending on the nature of future hedging activities and
the fluctuation of oil and gas prices over the term of future hedges, the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 may create volatility in results of operations and/or
stockholders' equity.

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 September 30, 2000, the Company operated 77% of all
producing wells in which it participated. For the nine months ended September
30, 2000, approximately 20% of the Company's equivalent production was oil and
80% was gas. In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company plans to begin
production on three new offshore wells.

</TABLE>

The net income totaled $3,019,000 and $212,000 for the quarters ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net income for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 was $4,685,000 as compared to net loss of $1,046,000 for the first
nine months of 1999. The positive results are due to the following components:

PRODUCTION. Oil produced in 2000 increased 29% and 47% over the third quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. Natural gas produced in
2000 increased 39% and 48% over the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, respectively. On a Mcfe basis, production for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased 37% and 48%,
respectively over the same periods in 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#14 and CL&F#15 at
Turtle Bayou and Valentine Sugars #1 came on-line in December 1999, May 2000,
and August 2000, respectively. Oil production for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was also boosted by the Company's Bully Camp Field, which was
shut-in during the first half of 1999 due to low product prices.

PRICES. Average oil prices for the third quarter and nine months ended September
30, 2000 were $34.89 and $29.85, respectively, as compared to $19.66 and $16.02
for the same periods in 1999. Average gas prices were $4.37 and $3.56 for the
third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as
compared to $2.53 and $2.22 for the same periods in 1999. Stated on a Mcfe
basis, unit prices received during the third quarter and the first nine months
of 2000 were 75% and 69% higher, respectively, than the prices received during
the comparable 1999 periods.

REVENUE. Oil and gas sales during the third quarter of 2000 increased 136% to
$6,035,000, as compared to third quarter 1999 revenues of $2,557,000. For the
first nine months of 2000, oil and gas sales increased 144% to $12,937,000,
compared to oil and gas sales of $5,295,000 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 third quarter of 2000 decreased to
$540,000 from $802,000 during the third quarter of 1999. The decrease for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 is
due to 1999 workovers related to bringing the Bully Camp field on-line and high
lease operating expenses in 1999 for High Island Block 494. Lease operating
expenses for the nine months ended September 30,

                                       9

<PAGE>   10

2000 increased to $1,837,000 from $1,777,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The rise in lease operating expenses for 2000 is primarily
due to the three new wells that began producing after September 30, 1999, and
the workovers in the Valentine and Deer Island Fields. On a Mcfe basis, lease
operating expenses for the third quarter decreased from $0.85 per Mcfe in 1999
to $0.42 in 2000 and from $0.78 per Mcfe in 1999 to $0.55 in 2000 for the first
nine months due to increased production volumes with nominal increases in
operating costs.

General and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2000 totaled
$652,000 as compared to expenses of $344,000 during the 1999 quarter. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 general and administrative expenses were
$1,993,000 compared to $1,055,000 in 1999. The increases in general and
administrative expenses are primarily due to a 33% increase in personnel and to
increased activity in 2000. In addition, the Company expensed $240,000 for fees
and expenses related to a mezzanine debt financing, which was abandoned due to
the Company's private placement.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 increased 30% from the 1999 period. The rise in DD&A is
due to bringing the three new wells on-line as well as the Company's aggressive
drilling program. On a Mcfe basis, which reflects the changes in production, the
DD&A rate for the first nine months of 2000 was $1.18 per Mcfe compared to $1.35
per Mcfe for the same period in 1999. The reduction for the first nine months of
2000 as compared to the same period for 1999 is due primarily to reserve
additions at Valentine and Turtle Bayou Fields. For the third quarter of 2000,
DD&A per Mcfe was $1.26 compared to $1.10 for the comparable period in 1999. The
increase for the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the same
period in 1999 is a result of the addition of new reserves from High Island
Block 494, which significantly increased the total reserves in the third quarter
of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

WORKING CAPITAL AND CASH FLOW. The Company finances its operations using a
combination of funds provided by operations, bank financing and sales of its
equity securities. Working capital (before considering the current portion of
debt) decreased from $1.6 million at December 31, 1999 to a working capital
deficit of $3.5 million at September 30, 2000. The decrease in working capital
is primarily the result of expenditures related to facilities, development and
drilling at Vermilion 376, Eugene Island 147, Valentine, and Turtle Bayou
Fields.

Net cash flow from operations before working capital changes increased from
$2,012,000 in 1999 to $8,789,000 in 2000. This increase is the result of the
Company's successful drilling program, higher production and higher product
prices.

The Company's borrowing base under the reducing revolving line of credit at
September 30, 2000 was $2,875,000. At September 30, 2000, there was no
outstanding debt under this facility. The Company's borrowing base was
redetermined on October 3, 2000 and was increased to $10,000,000. A subsequent
borrowing base redetermination occurred on November 13, 2000 and was increased
to $11,500,000. Beginning January 1, 2001, the borrowing base shall reduce each
month by $400,000. The next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled for
April 2001. Borrowings under the reducing revolving line of credit bear interest
at either the prime rate or LIBOR plus 250 basis points, at the option of the
Company. The revolving credit facility matures June 1, 2002.

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 July 1999. At September 30, 2000, $1,465,165 remains outstanding under
this loan.

On July 20, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 4.89 million
shares of common stock to accredited investors at a purchase price of $2.50 per
share for a total consideration of $12,225,000 before fees and expenses. After
fees and expenses, including $644,168 in commissions, proceeds to the Company
were $11,294,000. The proceeds will be used to build and install production
facilities, and for development drilling and completion activities. The issuance
of the common stock was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company has registered the resale of
the common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3.

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 10-Q 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 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.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

              Interest Rate Risk

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
September 30, 2000. The Company believes that its business operations are not
exposed to significant 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 three
months of 2000, a 10% decline in the prices the Company receives for its crude
oil and natural gas production would have an approximate $740,000 impact on the
Company's revenues.

The Company is currently not obligated to any derivative instrument or hedging
contract and, therefore, would not be subject to SFAS No. 133 disclosure
requirements. However, depending on the nature of future hedging activities and
the fluctuation of oil and gas prices over the term of future hedges, the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 may create volatility in results of operations and/or
stockholders' equity.
