                                COMPRESSCO, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   ORGANIZATION

Compressco, Inc, formerly Emerging Alpha Corporation (the "Company"), was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 10, 1993, for the purpose of
creating a corporate vehicle to seek, investigate and, if the results of such
investigations warrant, acquire business opportunities. Since its inception, the
primary activity of the Company has been devoted to organizational activities
and obtaining initial funding. Upon investigation and analysis by the Company's
management, the Company decided to enter certain segments of the natural gas
industry including equipment manufacturing, compression services and production
of natural gas reserves.

On October 29, 1999, the Company purchased all outstanding shares of the capital
stock of Gas Jack Inc. ("Gas Jack"), an Oklahoma corporation, for $2.7 million
and all outstanding units of GJ Measurement, L.L.C. ("GJ Measurement") in
exchange for 33,333 shares of the Company's common stock. Both acquisitions were
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company did not
recognize any goodwill as a result of these acquisitions. Subsequent to the
acquisition, both Gas Jack and Gas Jack Measurement are wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company
changed its fiscal year-end from March 31 to December 31.

The Company, through Gas Jack, is engaged primarily in the manufacture, leasing
and service of natural gas compressors that provide economical well head
compression to mature, low pressure natural gas wells. The Company's compressors
are currently sold and leased to natural gas producers located primarily in
Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and New Mexico. GJ Measurement, an Oklahoma
L.L.C, is a natural gas measurement, testing and service company, based in
Oklahoma City, that began operations in September 1999.

The Company has established in January 2000 a wholly owned energy production
subsidiary, Providence Natural Gas, Inc., (Providence) to acquire certain
pressure depleted reservoirs, having key reservoir characteristics known to be
receptive to well-head compression. The Company plans to install compressors at
the sites to enhance production and then market and sell the natural gas.
Providence is currently in the process of completing its acquisition and
production team to develop a sophisticated reservoir characteristic profiling
model to be used in screening of acquisition prospects.

                                 MARCH 31, 1999

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statement of operations and statement of cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are unaudited. In the opinion of
Predecessor company management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1999 or December 31, 2000.

2.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 29, 1999 Compressco,  Inc.  acquired all outstanding  capital stock
of Gas Jack,  Inc. for $2.7  million in cash.  The bank credit  facilities  of
Gas Jack, Inc. were repaid and terminated.


ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Overview

Prior to October 1999, the Company had no business operations; its only revenue
since its inception in 1993 was from interest income and its only expenses
related to administrative expenses. In October 1999, the Company purchased a
privately held natural gas compressor manufacturing and service company, Gas
Jack, for $2.7 million in cash, and also purchased GJ Measurement in exchange
for 33,333 shares of the Company's common stock. Gas Jack, Inc., is considered a
Predecessor Company for purposes of this document. These acquisitions were
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. In connection with the
acquisitions, the Company's fiscal year end was changed from March 31 to
December 31.

The Company established in January 2000 a wholly owned energy production
subsidiary, Providence Natural Gas, Inc., (Providence) to acquire certain
pressure depleted reservoirs, having key reservoir characteristics known to be
receptive to well-head compression. The Company plans to install compressors at
the sites to enhance production and then market and sell the natural gas.
Providence is currently in the process of completing its acquisition and
production team to develop a sophisticated reservoir characteristic profiling
model to be used in screening of acquisition prospects.

The following table sets forth selected financial information for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999 and as of March 31, 2000 and for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and is qualified in its entirety by the financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. In the text below, our
financial results for the first quarter of 2000 are compared to the financial
results of Gas Jack, Inc. ("Predecessor Company") for the first quarter of 1999.

The following discussion regarding the consolidated financial statements of the
Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto.

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 FOR THE COMPANY  COMPARED TO THREE  MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 FOR THE PREDECESSOR COMPANY

The Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000
reflect the acquisition of Gas Jack on October 29, 1999. Prior to the
acquisition, Compressco had no business operations. For all periods prior to the
acquisition, Compressco's only revenue was from interest income from equity
invested in Compressco and expenses related to administration of Compressco's
assets.

The revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 of $1,047,959 increased
by $264,426 or 31% for the comparable period in 1999. The following table sets
forth the components of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and the Predecessor Company revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999:

                                                    2000            1999
     Revenue:
        Leasing revenue .....................   $  750,308      $  621,891
        Sale of compressors and parts .......      191,409         115,672
        Service and other ...................      106,242          45,970
           Total revenue ....................   $1,047,959      $  783,533

The Company has 210 compressors in service at March 31, 2000 compared to 167 at
March 31,1999. In the three months ended March 31, 2000 the Company sold four
new compressors compared to selling three used units in 1999. The increase in
activity is primarily due to the increased price of natural gas in 2000 over
1999.

The cost of sales and expenses for the 2000 period were 75% of revenues compared
to 69% in the 1999 period. Operating expenses for the 2000 period were $647,868
or 62% of revenues, compared to $474,099, or 61% of revenues, for the 1999
period. Operating expenses in the 2000 period include $32,916 of start up
expenses related to Providence Natural Gas, Inc.

The Company manufactured 32 compressors in the 2000 period compared to 7 in the
1999 period. The increase in the number of compressors was due to higher demand
as a result of higher natural gas prices in 2000.

Depreciation expense increased in the 2000 period to $171,120 compared to
$146,864 for the 1999 period due to more compressors being in service in 2000.

The 2000 period includes interest expense of $67,468 relating to financing the
acquisition of Gas Jack in October 1999.

Net income before taxes was $27,891 or 3% of revenues, for the 2000 period
compared to $91,026, or 12% of revenues, for the 1999 period. The decrease in
net income was primarily due to higher interest expense, the Providence Natural
Gas operating expenses and higher depreciation expense in 2000.

In March 2000 the Company issued 70,002 shares of it's common stock through a
Private Placement for $30.00 per share or total equity proceeds of $2,100,000.
The equity proceeds will be used primarily to fund the development of Providence
Natural Gas, Inc.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On October 29, 1999, the Company borrowed $2,800,000 under a term loan agreement
with Hibernia National Bank. The related note bears interest at a fixed rate of

compressor leases of Gas Jack, and a personal guarantee of the Company's
President.

March 31, 2000). Interest is due monthly with all outstanding borrowings due at
maturity on October 29, 2001. The loan is secured with the assets and compressor
leases of Gas Jack, an investment account owned by the Company's Chairman, and a
personal guarantee of the Company's President.

In March 2000 the Company issued 70,002 shares of it's common stock through a
Private Placement for $30.00 per share or total equity proceeds of $2,100,060.
The equity proceeds were used in part to repay borrowings under the Company's
line of credit and the remaining proceeds will be used primarily to fund the
development of Providence Natural Gas, Inc.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations and funds available under
its credit facilities will provide the necessary working capital to fund the
Company's requirements for current operations through 2000. However, in
connection with any expansion of operations or acquisition activities, it is
likely that the Company will need additional sources of debt or equity
financing. The Company cannot provide assurance that these funds will be
available or if available will be available on satisfactory terms.
