                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1:           Basis of Presentation

         The interim  financial data are unaudited;  however,  in the opinion of
the  management  of FX  Energy,  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  ("FX  Energy"  or  the
"Company"), the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring  adjustments,  necessary  for a fair  statement of the results for the
interim periods.  The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with FX  Energy's  annual  report on Form  10-K as  amended  for the year  ended
December 31, 1999, including the financial statements and notes thereto.

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FX Energy
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and FX Energy's undivided interests in Poland.
All significant  inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.  At March 31,  2000,  FX Energy owned 100% of the voting stock of
all of its subsidiaries.

         Certain   balances  in  the  1999   financial   statements   have  been
reclassified to conform to the current quarter  presentation.  These changes had
no effect on total assets, total liabilities, stockholders' equity or net loss.

Note 2:           Income Taxes

         FX Energy recognized no income tax benefit from the losses generated in
the first quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 1999.

Note 3:           Officer Loans

         As of March 31,  2000,  notes  receivable  and  accrued  interest  from
officers, before an impairment allowance, totaled $2,070,411, with a due date of
on or before  December 31, 2000. The notes  receivable and accrued  interest are
collateralized by 233,340 shares of FX Energy's common stock. In accordance with
SFAS No. 114,  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," FX Energy has
recorded a  cumulative  impairment  allowance  of $670,371 as of March 31, 2000,
including  $4,859 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $665,512 for the year
ended December 31, 1999, based on the value of the underlying collateral.

         In consideration  for extending the term from December 31, 1999 through
December 31, 2000, the officers  agreed that if the average closing price of the
common  stock  for  five  consecutive  trading  days  results  in a value of the
collateral equal to or above the total principal and accrued interest  balances,
the officers will repay the loans within 45 days thereafter either in cash or by
tendering  to the  Company  such number of shares  which at the average  closing
price for the previous  five  consecutive  trading days equals the principal and
accrued interest then due.

         The impairment  allowance will continue to be adjusted  quarterly based
on the market value of the collateral shares.

beliefs, expectations, anticipations, estimations, projections, proposals, plans
or intentions, are not guarantees of future performance or results of events and
involve risks and uncertainties, such as:

         o   The  future  results  of  drilling   individual   wells  and  other
             exploration and development activities;

         o   Uncertainties regarding drilling potential and expected results;

         o   The inability to estimate  precisely the  hydrocarbon  potential of
             any exploration prospect or the related risks;

         o   Future  variations in well  performance as compared to initial test
             data;

         o   Future events that may result in the need for additional capital;

         o   Fluctuations in prices for oil and gas;

             relating  to  FX  Energy's   oil  and  gas   interests,   including
             exploitation fees, royalty rates and other matters;

         o   Future drilling and other  exploration  schedules and sequences for
             various wells and other activities;

         o   Uncertainties   regarding   estimates  of   hydrocarbon   reserves,
             production rates, accumulations and recoveries;

         o   Uncertainties  regarding future  political,  economic,  regulatory,
             fiscal, taxation and other policies in Poland;

             share  the  costs of  exploration,  exploitation,  development  and
             acquisition activities; and

         o   Future plans and the financial and technical resources of strategic
             partners.

Introduction

         We  are an  independent  energy  company  engaged  in the  exploration,
development and production of oil and gas from properties  located  primarily in
the Republic of Poland.  However,  to date,  all of our revenue from oil and gas
production has been from our United States producing properties.  In the western
United  States,  we produce  oil from  fields in  Montana  and Nevada and have a
drilling  and  well  servicing  company  in  northern  Montana  and  oil and gas
exploration prospects in several western states.

         We  conduct  substantially  all  of  our  exploration  and  development
activities  jointly  with  others  and,  accordingly,  recorded  amounts for our
activities  in  Poland  reflect  only  our   proportionate   interest  in  these
activities.

         Our results of operations may vary  significantly from period to period
based  on  the  factors  discussed  above  and  on  other  factors  such  as our
exploratory and development drilling success.  Therefore, the results of any one
period may not be indicative of future results.

         We follow the  successful  efforts method of accounting for our oil and
gas properties.  Under this method of accounting, all property acquisition costs
and costs of exploratory  and development  wells are capitalized  when incurred,
pending  determination  of whether  the well has found  proved  reserves.  If an
exploratory  well has not found proved  reserves,  these costs plus the costs of
drilling the well are expensed.  The costs of development wells are capitalized,
whether  productive  or  nonproductive.  Geological  and  geophysical  costs  on
exploratory   prospects  and  the  costs  of  carrying  and  retaining  unproved
properties are expensed as incurred.  An impairment allowance is provided to the
extent that capitalized costs of unproved properties,  on a property-by-property
basis,  are considered not to be realizable.  An impairment  loss is recorded if
the net capitalized  costs of proved oil and gas properties exceed the aggregate
undiscounted future net revenues determined on a property-by-property basis. The
impairment loss recognized  equals the excess of net capitalized  costs over the
related fair value,  determined on a property-by-property  basis. As a result of
the foregoing,  our results of operations  for any particular  period may not be
indicative of the results that could be expected over longer periods.

         We have reviewed all recently issued,  but not yet adopted,  accounting
standards  in order to  determine  their  effects,  if any,  on our  results  of
operations or financial position.  Based on that review, we believe that none of
these  pronouncements  will  have a  significant  effect  on  current  or future
earnings or operations.

Results of Operations by Business Segment

         We operate within two segments of the oil and gas industry: exploration
and production and contract servicing. Depreciation,  depletion and amortization
costs  directly  associated  with the  exploration  and  production and contract
servicing  segments are detailed  within the following  discussion.  General and
administrative  costs,  interest  income,  other  income,  interest  expense and
officer loan impairments are not allocated to individual  operating segments for
management or segment  reporting  purposes and are  discussed in their  entirety
following the segment discussion.

         Oil Revenues.  Oil revenues  were $597,000  during the first quarter of
2000, an increase of $363,000 as compared to $234,000  during the same period of
1999.  During  the first  quarter  of 2000,  our oil  revenues  were  positively
affected by higher oil prices and negatively  affected by lower production rates
attributable  to the natural  production  declines of our producing  properties.
During the first quarter of 1999,  our oil revenues were  adversely  affected by
depressed  oil prices and lower  production  rates  attributable  to the natural
production  declines of our producing  properties.  A summary of the  percentage
change in oil revenues,  average oil price and oil  production for first quarter
of 2000 and 1999 as compared to their  respective  prior  year's  period are set
forth on the following table:

         Lease Operating Costs. Our lease operating costs are composed of normal
recurring lease operating  expenses and production taxes.  Lease operating costs
were  $292,000  during the first  quarter  of 2000,  an  increase  of $42,000 as
compared to $250,000 during the same period of 1999.

         Lease operating  expense was $285,000 during the first quarter of 2000,
an increase  of $49,000 as compared to $236,000  during the same period of 1999.
During the first quarter of 2000, we increased  our lease  operating  expense to
cover various repair and maintenance items that were previously  deferred due to
low oil prices.  As a result,  lifting  costs were $11.91 per barrel  during the
first  quarter of 2000,  an increase  of $3.03 as  compared to $8.88  during the
first  quarter of 1999.  During the first  quarter of 1999, we reduced our lease
operating  expense by re-designing  the pattern of injecting fluids into the Cut
Bank Sand Unit, our principal producing property, and deferred major repairs and
maintenance items due to depressed oil prices.

         Production  taxes  were  $7,000  during the first  quarter  of 2000,  a
decrease  of $7,000 as  compared  to  $14,000  during  the same  period of 1999.
Production taxes averaged approximately 1.2% and 6.1% of oil revenues during the
first  quarter of 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  During late 1999,  the state of
Montana  substantially reduced the production tax rate for stripper wells, which
in turn resulted in substantially less production taxes for the first quarter of
2000 as compared to the same period of 1999.

         Depreciation,  Depletion and  Amortization  Expense -  Exploration  and
Production.  Depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  expense for  producing
properties  was $16,000 for the first  quarter of 2000, an increase of $2,000 as
compared to $14,000 during the same period of 1999. The depreciation,  depletion
and  amortization  expense  rate per  barrel  for the first  quarter of 2000 was
$0.67, an increase of $0.14 as compared to $0.53 during the same period of 1999.
We  utilize  the  units-of-production  method  to  calculate  our  depreciation,
depletion  and  amortization  expense for  producing  properties.  As such,  the
depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  expense  rate may vary year to year
based on net  capitalized  costs and the  volumes of  reserves  reported  in the
current  year's reserve report as compared to the prior year. The reserve report
as of

                                       11
<PAGE>

December 31, 1999 reflected  proved  reserves of 1.1 million barrels of oil, 0.4
million barrels less than the 1.5 million barrels of oil reported as of December
31, 1998.

         Exploration  Costs.  Our  exploration  costs consist of geological  and
geophysical   costs,   exploratory   dry  holes  and   non-producing   leasehold
impairments.  Exploration  costs were $484,000 during the first quarter of 2000,
an increase of $304,000 as compared to $180,000 during the same period of 1999.

         Geological and geophysical costs were $484,000 during the first quarter
of 2000, an increase of $304,000 as compared to $180,000  during the same period
of 1999.  During  the first  quarter  of 2000,  we spent  $162,000  reprocessing
seismic data on the Pomeranian area, $108,000  reprocessing  seismic data on the
Warsaw West area,  $74,000 for travel and related expenses and $140,000 on other
geological  and  geophysical  activities.  During  the  first  quarter  of 1999,
geological and  geophysical  costs were  comprised  primarily of $75,000 for the
Polish Lowlands Study,  $65,000 for travel and related  expenses and $40,000 for
other geological and geophysical  activities.  Geological and geophysical  costs
will  continue  to  fluctuate  from  period  to  period,  based on our  level of
exploratory activity in Poland and the respective cost participation  percentage
of our industry partners.

         We had no  exploratory  dry hole costs during the first quarter of 2000
and 1999.  During late 1998, we participated in drilling two exploratory  wells,
the Czernic 277-2 and the Poniatowa  317-1,  on the Lublin Basin area in Poland,
both of which were  subsequently  determined to be exploratory  dry holes during
February  1999.  The Czernic 277-2 and the Poniatowa  317-1 were each counted as
exploratory  wells  under  the  Apache  Exploration  Program.  As  such,  Apache
Corporation ("Apache") covered all of our pro-rata share of costs for each well.

         There  were no  non-producing  leasehold  impairments  during the first
quarter of 2000 and 1999.  As of March 31,  2000,  we had  capitalized  unproved
property costs of $1.399 million,  including $692,000  domestically and $707,000
in Poland.  In accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  an
impairment  charge  will be  recognized,  determined  on a  property-by-property
basis, in the event we determine any capitalized unproved property costs are not
recoverable  following  unsuccessful  exploratory  drilling  or  other  factors.
Non-producing  leasehold impairments will continue to vary from period to period
based on our determination that capitalized costs of unproved  properties,  on a
property-by-property basis, are not realizable.

         Contract Servicing Segment

         Contract  Servicing  Revenues.  We had contract  servicing  revenues of
$74,000  during the first  quarter of 2000, a decrease of $14,000 as compared to
$88,000  for the first  quarter of 1999.  During  the first  quarter of 2000 and
1999,  our drilling rig was idle,  and all revenues  were  generated by our well
servicing equipment.  Contract servicing revenue will continue to fluctuate from
period to period  based on whether  our  drilling  rig is active,  the degree of
emphasis  on  utilizing  equipment  on our own  properties,  the number of wells
drilled, the amount of retained working interest, if any, and other factors.

         Contract Servicing Costs.  Contract servicing costs were $75,000 during
the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $22,000 as compared to $53,000 for the
same period of 1999.  During the first  quarter of 2000,  our well and servicing
equipment  generated  a gross  profit  of 25% on  direct  costs of  $55,000  and
incurred downtime maintenance costs of $20,000 associated with our drilling rig.
During the first quarter of 1999, our well and servicing  equipment  generated a
gross

                                       12
<PAGE>

profit  of 39% on  direct  costs of  $53,000,  and the  drilling  rig was  idle.
Contract  servicing costs will continue to fluctuate from period to period based
on whether our  drilling  rig is active,  the degree of  emphasis  on  utilizing
equipment  on our own  properties,  the number of wells  drilled,  the amount of
retained working interest, if any, and other factors.

         Depreciation,  Depletion and Amortization Expense - Contract Servicing.
Depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  expense for contract  servicing was
$51,000  during the first  quarter of 2000, a decrease of $30,000 as compared to
$81,000 during the same period of 1999. Depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense for contract  servicing  was lower  during the first  quarter of 2000 as
compared to the same quarter of 1999 due to capital items being  depreciated  in
the first quarter of 1999  subsequently  becoming fully depreciated prior to the
first quarter of 2000.

         Non-segmented Information

         Depreciation,   Depletion   and   Amortization   Expense  -  Corporate.
Depreciation,  depletion and amortization  expense for corporate  activities was
$20,000  during the first  quarter of 2000, a decrease of $11,000 as compared to
$31,000 during the same period of 1999. Depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense for corporate  activities  was lower during the first quarter of 2000 as
compared to the same quarter of 1999 due to capital items being  depreciated  in
the first quarter of 1999  subsequently  becoming fully depreciated prior to the
first quarter of 2000.

         General and Administrative Costs. General and administrative costs were
$597,000 during the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $61,000 as compared to
$536,000  for the same  period of 1999.  During the first  quarter  of 2000,  we
incurred substantially more travel and other associated costs as compared to the
same period of 1999. General and administrative  costs are expected to be higher
in future  periods as we begin to pay for part of our pro-rata share of Apache's
general and administrative costs in Poland beginning in July 2000.

         Interest  and Other  Income.  Interest  and other  income was  $134,000
during the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $32,000 as compared to $102,000
during the same period of 1999. Our cash and marketable debt securities  balance
was $5.346 million as of March 31, 2000, $1.499 million more than the balance of
$3.847  million as of March 31,  1999.  As a result of higher  average  cash and
marketable debt securities balances during the first quarter of 2000 as compared
to the same period of 1999,  we earned  $126,000 of interest  income  during the
first  quarter of 2000,  an  increase  of $34,000 as compared to $92,000 for the
same period of 1999.

         Officer Loan  Impairment.  Officer loan  impairment  was $5,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, as compared to no officer loan  impairment for the
same period of 1999.  In  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 114,  "Accounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of a Loan," we
recorded an  additional  impairment  allowance  of $5,000 for the quarter  ended
March 31, 2000. The notes  receivable  from officers  totaled $1.4 million as of
March 31, 2000, including principal and interest of $2.070 million reduced by an
impairment  allowance  of  $670,000.  The notes  receivable  from  officers  are
collateralized  by 233,340 shares of our common stock. The impairment  allowance
will  continue  to be  adjusted  quarterly  based  on the  market  value  of the
collateral shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Historically,  we have relied  primarily  on proceeds  from the sale of
equity securities to fund our operating and investing  activities.  During 1999,
1998 and 1997,  we received net proceeds  from the sale of  securities of $7.067
million,  $166,000  and  $253,000,  respectively.  We also  benefit  from  funds
provided  by  industry  partners.  We  intend to  obtain  funds for our  planned
activities from the sale of additional  securities,  project financing,  sale of
partial property  interests,  strategic alliances with other energy or financial
partners  or other  arrangements,  all of which may dilute the  interest  of our
existing  stockholders or our interest in the specific project  financed.  There
can be no assurance we will be able to obtain funds that will enable us to carry
out our planned activities.

         Working Capital

         Our working capital was $4.092 million as of March 31, 2000, a decrease
of $1.367  million as  compared  to $5.459  million at December  31,  1999.  The
decrease was due  principally to a net loss before  depreciation,  depletion and
amortization  costs of $649,000 and net  additions to property and  equipment of
$645,000 during the first quarter of 2000.

         Operating Activities

         Net cash used in operating  activities  was $1.008  million  during the
first  quarter of 2000,  an increase of $288,000 as compared to $720,000 for the
same period of 1999. We used net cash in operating  activities before changes in
working  capital items of $678,000 and $624,000 during the first quarter of 2000
and 1999,  respectively.  Cash used to fund changes in working capital items was
$330,000 and $96,000 during the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Investing Activities

         Our investing activities provided net cash of $2.643 million during the
first quarter of 2000, as compared to using net cash of $54,000  during the same
period of 1999.  During the first quarter of 2000, we spent $322,000 on drilling
the Wilga 3  development  well in Poland,  spent $44,000 to upgrade our domestic
properties,  spent $16,000 on annual concession fees for the Baltic project area
in Poland, spent $16,000 on office equipment,  spent a net amount of $116,000 to
upgrade our drilling and well  servicing  equipment and realized a net amount of
$3.157 million from investing in marketable  debt  securities.  During the first
quarter of 1999, we spent $31,000 on upgrading our producing  properties,  spent
$33,000 on annual concession fees relating to the Baltic Project area,  received
$3,000 from the sale of a partial  property  interest in the Williston  Basin of
North  Dakota,  spent $8,000 to upgrade our drilling well  servicing  equipment,
spent $5,000 to upgrade our corporate  office  equipment,  spent $3,000 on other
assets and realized a net amount of $23,000 from  investing in  marketable  debt
securities.

         Financing Activities

         No cash was used in financing  activities  during the first  quarter of
2000,  as compared to $98,000 used in the same period of 1999.  During the first
quarter of 1999, we advanced two of our officers a total of $98,000. As of April
8,  1999,  we had no  further  commitment  to  advance  additional  funds to the
officers.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         In the past our strategic  partners have provided a substantial  amount
of the capital required under our exploratory agreements with them and we expect
they  may  continue  to do so in the  future.  For  instance,  in  1997,  Apache
committed to cover our fifty-percent  share of an exploration  program in Poland
estimated  to cost $60  million  gross ($30  million  net).  Apache has  covered
approximately  $40  million of those  costs  through  the end of 1999 and is now
committed to covering our share of costs to drill four additional  wells,  shoot
350 kilometers of 2-D seismic and a portion of our share of Apache's overhead in
Poland  during  2000.   Other   industry   partners  have   previously   covered
approximately  $2.9 million of our share of costs in other  projects  during the
last five years.

Capital Requirements

         We had $5.3 million of cash and marketable securities with no long-term
debt as of March 31, 2000. As a result of our recent Wilga  exploration  success
and our new Fences project,  we now need additional capital to fund our share of
ongoing planned, exploration,  appraisal,  development,  production and property
acquisition  activities  in Poland  during the  remainder  of 2000 and 2001.  We
intend  to  obtain  funds  for  these  purposes  from  the  sale  of  additional
securities,  project financing,  sale of partial property  interests,  strategic
alliances with other energy or financial partners or other arrangements,  all of
which may dilute the  interest of our existing  stockholders  or our interest in
the  specific  project  financed.  There can be no  assurance we will be able to
obtain  funds  that  will  enable  us to carry  out our  planned  activities  as
discussed below:

         Fences Project Area. We have agreed to spend $16 million of exploration
costs in the  Fences  project  area to earn a 49%  interest.  We expect  the $16
million  will  cover the costs to drill the  Kleka  11,  well now  underway  and
approximately five additional exploratory wells and to acquire approximately 200
square  kilometers of 3-D seismic to supplement the 3-D seismic already acquired
by POGC. After the first $16 million,  all costs and net revenues will be shared
49% by us and 51% by POGC.  The first well,  the Kleka 11,  which was started by
POGC,  is expected to reach target depth in May 2000.  We and POGC are currently
discussing  the schedule for  operations  to be conducted  during the balance of
2000 and 2001.

         Wilga  Project  Area.  We  are  currently   drilling  the  Wilga  3,  a
development  well next to the Wilga 2. One additional  well is scheduled and two
additional  wells are  anticipated  to be drilled in the Wilga area during 2000.
Additional wells may be drilled  thereafter.  We estimate each well in the Wilga
area will cost an average of  approximately  $3.0  million  gross ($1.4  million
net). We anticipate  completing  production  facilities and pipelines during the
fourth  quarter of 2000 at a cost of  approximately  $11.0  million  gross ($5.0
million net).  Initial production from the Wilga area is anticipated to commence
during the first half of 2001.

         Based on our  exploration  success  in the Wilga  project  area and our
planned completion of production facilities,  we anticipate receiving production
revenue  from the Wilga  field in early  2001.  We expect  these  revenues  will
supplement  our capital from other sources for further  development of the Wilga
field.

         We have initiated  discussions with a commercial  lender for a possible
project loan secured by proved reserves that may be developed  through the Wilga
drilling effort. We expect the amount that may be available from this commercial
lender  would equal  about half of the  discounted  net present  value of proved
reserves  that we may be able to  establish.  There can be

                                       15
<PAGE>

no assurance we can establish  such a credit  facility.  In any event,  borrowed
funds are not likely to be  available  until  significant  proved  reserves  are
established through additional drilling.

         Apache Exploration Program.  During the remainder of 2000, we expect to
have almost all of our share of  exploration  activities  relating to the Apache
Exploration Program paid for by Apache. We and Apache have scheduled one well in
each of the  Warsaw  West,  Pomeranian  and  Carpathian  project  areas  plus an
additional  350 square  kilometers of 2-D seismic in the  Carpathian  area.  The
three  exploratory  wells are  scheduled to be drilled prior to the end of 2000.
Apache is  obligated  to cover  our  pro-rata  share of costs for an  additional
exploratory  well,  which is expected to be drilled during 2001 in an area to be
selected.

         During the first quarter of 2000, in an effort to conserve our capital,
we signed an  agreement  with  Apache,  whereby  Apache would cover our share of
costs to shoot 300 kilometers of 2-D seismic data in the Pomeranian area and 422
kilometers  of 2-D seismic  data in the Warsaw  West area in exchange  for their
commitment to cover our share of costs in one exploratory  well.  Under terms of
the Apache Exploration  Program,  Apache has covered our share of costs to drill
five  exploratory  wells to date and is now  committed  to covering our share of
costs to drill four additional exploratory wells in Poland.

         Property Acquisition. We will need additional capital if we are able to
reach an agreement with POGC to purchase  appraisal,  development or exploration
projects  on  existing  POGC  discoveries,  shut-in  fields and  under-developed
properties in Poland.  Capital may be required to pay costs of acquisition,  the
installation of production  infrastructure and the implementation of a long-term
exploitation  program.  We may  undertake  such  projects  alone  or  under  our
arrangement  with  Apache.  We intend  to seek  additional  capital  that may be
required for such purposes through a variety of means, including the issuance of
debt and equity securities, project financing, bank financing or other financing
alternatives.  There can be no  assurance  we will be able to obtain  funds that
will enable us to participate in any such acquisitions.

         Other.  We  expect to incur  minimal  exploration  expenditures  on our
Baltic Project area in Poland during the remainder of 2000 and 2001.  Similarly,
we  expect  to incur  minimal  appraisal  and  development  expenditures  on our
domestic operations during the remainder of 2000 and 2001.

         We may  change  the  allocation  of  capital  among the  categories  of
anticipated  expenditures,  depending upon future events that we cannot predict.
For  example,  we may change the  allocation  of our  expenditures  based on the
actual  results  and  costs  of  future  exploration,   appraisal,  development,
production,  property acquisition and other activities. In addition, we may have
to change our anticipated  expenditures if costs of placing the Wilga field into
production  are  higher,  if  the  field  is  smaller  than  expected  or if the
commencement of production takes longer than expected.

                                    AGREEMENT

         THIS  AGREEMENT  (this  "Agreement")  is entered  into  effective as of
January 1, 2000, by and between FX Energy,  Inc., a Nevada corporation,  and its
subsidiaries  and  affiliates  through  which it owns  interests and carries out
activities in Poland (collectively,  "FX Energy"), and Apache Overseas,  Inc.. a
Delaware corporation,  and its subsidiaries and affiliates through which it owns
interests and carries out activities in Poland (collectively, "Apache").

                                    Recitals

         A. Apache and FX Energy hold certain  rights to explore for and exploit
natural  gas and oil in certain  lands in the  Republic  of Poland and have been
conducting  exploration  operations  in Poland  pursuant to various  agreements.
Apache and FX Energy jointly hold exploration rights covering approximately 11.5
million acres and options covering approximately 3.4 million acres controlled by
Polski Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A. ("POGC").

         B. The  strategic  alliance  of Apache and FX Energy  has  historically
focused on an extensive  exploration program. To date, Apache and FX Energy have
jointly participated in the drilling of six wells, and Apache has covered all of
FX Energy's drilling and completion costs for five of the six wells.  Apache and
FX Energy also entered into a Farmin  Agreement with POGC with respect to POGC's
Lachowice  area.  The  Farmin  Agreement  was the  first  agreement  of its kind
executed by POGC with foreign entities.

         C. The close  relationship  that  Apache and FX Energy  have  developed
together.  and with POGC  will  hopefully  lead to an  expanded  program  in the
Republic of Poland that will include the acquisition of producing properties and
the  development  and  enhancement of proven  properties  within the Republic of
Poland. Apache and FX Energy have been evaluating several opportunities, and, as
a result of their  analyses,  executed a Letter of Intent with POGC that,  among
other  things,  establishes  an  exclusive  negotiation  period  for a  proposed
transaction  involving  the  acquisition  of interests  in the Koscian,  Rensko,
Obrzycko,   Paproc  East  and  Stezyca   project   areas  (the   "Zielona   Gora
transaction").

         D. In light of these developments,  Apache and FX Energy wish to modify
certain  provisions  of  their  existing   agreements  and  acknowledge  certain
additional agreements.

                                    Agreement

         NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the foregoing recitals,  which are
incorporated  herein  by  this  reference,  and  for  other  good  and  valuable
consideration,   the  receipt  and  legal   sufficiency   of  which  are  hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Interim Funding Agreement (Zielona Gora). Apache and FX Energy are parties to
an Interim Funding Agreement dated as of September 30, 1999. The Interim Funding
Agreement,  among other things, sets forth a timetable for FX Energy's obtaining
of third party financing for the Zielona Gora transaction.  Any capitalized term
used in this Section 1 but not defined shall have the meaning given such term in
the Interim Funding Agreement.

         The Interim Funding Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

<PAGE>

                  (i) Extension. According to Paragraph 1 of the Interim Funding
         Agreement, "[i]f a Definitive Agreement has not been signed by December
         31, 1999,  this Agreement  shall have no further force or effect unless
         extended by mutual agreement of the parties." In addition,  the Interim
         Funding  Agreement states that only Definitive  Agreements signed on or
         before  December  31,  1999  will be  subject  to the  Interim  Funding
         Agreement. The term of the Interim Funding Agreement is hereby extended
         until  July 1, 2000,  and the  deadline  for  execution  of  Definitive
         Agreements subject to the Interim Funding .Agreement is hereby extended
         until July 1, 2000.

                  (ii) Option Period.  The Interim Funding  Agreement  currently
         provides  for a  180-day  option  period  commencing  on  the  date  of
         execution of a Definitive  Agreement among POGC,  Apache and FX Energy.
         The option  period  described  in  Paragraph 4 of the  Interim  Funding
         Agreement is hereby modified and will commence on the Closing  (defined
         below)  of  the  Zielona  Gora   transaction   and  terminate  90  days
         thereafter.

                  (iii)  Determination Date. The Determination Date set forth in
         Paragraph 5 of the Interim  Funding  Agreement  is hereby  modified and
         will occur on the 90th day following the Closing (defined below) of the
         Zielona Gora transaction, or earlier at the election of FX Poland.

                  (iv)   Transaction   Expenses.   All  third  party  legal  and
         accounting expenses of Apache and FX Energy relating to the negotiation
         and  execution  of  the  Definitive  Agreement  for  the  Zielona  Gora
         transaction  will be  shared  by Apache  and FX  Energy  regardless  of
         whether a  Definitive  Agreement is  executed.  Each  party's  share of
         expenses will be based upon each party's participation  interest in the
         Zielona Gora transaction  following FX Energy's exercise of its option.
         Apache will  provide FX Energy with copies of the  invoices  from third
         parties upon  receipt,  and promptly pay the  invoices.  FX Energy will
         reimburse  Apache for the third  party  legal and  accounting  expenses
         within  thirty  days  after  the  first to occur  of:  (i) FX  Energy's
         exercise  of its  option  to  own  an  interest  in  the  Zielona  Gora
         transaction,  or (ii) the termination of the Interim Funding Agreement.
         In the event the Interim Funding Agreement is terminated, Apache and FX
         Energy  will  share  the third  party  legal  and  accounting  expenses
         equally.

                  (v) Partnership  Agreement.  The  Partnership  Agreement to be
         filed of record for the Apache/FX  Energy spolka jawna (the  "Apache/FX
         Partnership")  in the Zielona Gora  transaction  will provide that: (a)
         the Apache/FX  Partnership can be bound only with the signatures of two
         members of management,  one from Apache and one from FX Energy;  (b) it
         will   have  at  least  two   representatives   at   meetings   of  the
         POGC/Apache/FX   Energy   spolka   komandvtowa   (the   "Zielona   Gora
         Partnership"),  at least  one  from FX  Energy  and at  least  one from
         Apache;  and (c) each  representative  will  vote in the  Zielona  Gora
         Partnership in accordance with the consensus mechanism at the Apache/FX
         Partnership level.

         The  term  "Closing  '  means  the  consummation  of the  Zielona  Gora
transaction,  which will take place following the  satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions  precedent set forth in the definitive  documentation for the Zielona
Gora transaction.

         2. Future Well Carries.  FX Energy hereby  acknowledges and agrees that
Apache has satisfied all of its seismic and drilling obligations to FX Energy in
Poland  other than as set forth in this  paragraph.  Apache will carry FX Energy
in: (i) five wells located  within the parties'  Area of Mutual  Interest and in
which both Apache and FX Energy participate (the "Carried Wells"),  and (ii) 350
kilometers  of seismic in Blocks 410,  411,  412,  413, 414, 415, 430, 431, 432,
433, 452, and 453 (the

                                       2
<PAGE>

"Carpathian  Blocks").  Each of the Carried  Wells will be drilled at a mutually
agreeable  location and to a depth sufficient to test  Carboniferous or Devonian
or  deeper  formations,  estimated  at a depth of 2,000  to 3,000  meters.  If a
proposed Carried Well is a well required to satisfy a minimum work obligation of
either the Lublin Blocks  (defined below) or Carpathian  Blocks,  then FX Energy
will be  required  to elect to be carried  in that well.  In the event a well is
proposed  outside of the Lublin or  Carpathian  Blocks,  FX Energy will have the
right to elect to be carried in such well,  provided  that  Apache and FX Energy
agree that such well is substantially equivalent to the wells previously drilled
in Poland in terms of cost and depth.

         The  commitments  set forth in the previous  paragraph  are intended to
supersede  Apache's obligations  to drill ten  exploratory  wells within certain
specified time periods, as more fully described in the following Agreements:

                  (i) Lublin Participation  Agreement.  Participation  Agreement
         dated as of April 16, 1997 between Apache Overseas, Inc. and FX Energy,
         Inc. pertaining to the Lublin Area Concessions;

                  (ii)   Carpathian   Participation   Agreement.   Participation
         Agreement dated as of February 27, 1998 between Apache  Overseas,  Inc.
         and FX Energy, Inc.  pertaining to the Western Carpathian  Concessions;
         and

                  (iii) Global Agreement. Agreement dated as of January 1, 1999'
         between Apache Overseas, Inc. and FX Energy, Inc. pertaining to Oil and
         Gas Operations in Poland.

         FX Energy will pay its share of geological and geophysical costs in the
Carpathian  Blocks  commencing  on the later of (i) January 1, 2001, or (ii) the
completion of the 350 kilometer  seismic  acquisition  program in the Carpathian
Blocks.

         The term "Lublin Blocks", as used in this Section 2, means the Komarow,
Lublin, Ciecierzyn (which is Block 298), and Vistula Blocks.

         3. Wilga Appraisal  Well(s).  FX Energy will have the option either (i)
to be  carried in the Wilga  appraisal  well(s),  or (ii) pay its  participation
interest share of the Wilga appraisal well(s).  Such option will be exercised no
later than 60 days  following  the initial cash call for each well. If FX Energy
elects to be carried  on the  appraisal  well(s),  such well(s)  will be used to
satisfy the well carry(ies) defined in Section 2 above.

         4. Lublin Project Area. FX Energy hereby  acknowledges  and agrees that
Apache has satisfied its obligations to date under the usufructs  concerning the
acquisition  and  reprocessing  of seismic and the  drilling of wells within the
Komarow,  Lublin,  Ciecierzyn  (which is Block  298),  and  Vistula  Blocks (the
"Lublin  Project  Area"),  and the parties  will  relinquish  the entire  Lublin
Project Area with the exception of Blocks 255, 275 and 297.

         5. Lachowice  Project Area.  Apache and FX Energy will formally  notify
POGC that Apache and FX Energy do not wish to proceed with further operations in
the Lachowice area.

         6.  Poland  Overhead.  Beginning  July 1, 2000,  FX Energy will pay its
share of  overhead  incurred,  which  shall be  prorated  based on the number of
carried  wells  completed as a percentage  of the total carry  commitment of ten
wells,  excluding  Zielona Gora.  The term  "overhead"  means the direct

                                       3
<PAGE>

charges  authorized by Article II of the Accounting  Procedure [Exhibit A to the
Joint Operating  Agreement Covering Oil and Gas Operations in Poland (the "Joint
Operating  Agreement")],  which are identified in the Work Program and Budget as
"G&A."  The  amounts  of G&A are  based  upon the  amount  of  capital  spent on
individual  projects in relation to total capital spent. G&A shall be reduced by
any payments  received by Apache as Operator  from POGC and others in the nature
of direct or indirect charges.

         7. Award of Contract to Geofizyka  Torun.  Apache and FX Energy  hereby
approve  the award of a modified  seismic  acquisition  program  (the  "Modified
Seismic  Program")  for Blocks 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 105,  108,  109, 129, and 149
(the  "Pomeranian  Blocks") and Blocks 211,  212,  213, 214, 231, 232, 233, 234,
251, 252, 253, 254, and 274 (the "Warsaw West Blocks") to Geofizyka  Torun Sp. z
o.o. ("Geofizyka Torun").  Apache and FX Energy will each further evidence their
approval by executing an Authorization for Expenditure  ("AFE") for the Modified
Seismic  Program in the form of Appendix  "A"  attached  hereto,  as required by
Article 6.6 of the Joint Operating Agreement. FX Energy will use one of its five
remaining Carried Wells to offset its  participation  interest share of the cost
of the Modified Seismic Program.

         The Modified  Seismic Program consists of the acquisition of 2D seismic
data covering: (i) 300 kilometers of seismic lines within the Pomeranian Blocks;
and (ii) 422  kilometers  of seismic  lines within the Warsaw West  Blocks.  For
purposes of  determining  the allocation of G&A, the Carried Well that FX Energy
has elected to use will be deemed  completed upon the conclusion of the Modified
Seismic Program.  If Apache and FX Energy elect to acquire additional seismic in
excess of the amounts  described above for the Modified Seismic Program,  Apache
and FX Energy will share the cost of the additional seismic equally.

         8. 2000 Work Program and Budget.  In accordance  with Article 6.1(B) of
the Joint  Operating  Agreement,  Apache and FX Energy  hereby  approve the Work
Program and Budget for the calendar  year  commencing on January 1, 2000, in the
form attached hereto as Appendix "B."

         9. Outstanding Amounts for Seismic Acquisition. FX Energy hereby agrees
to pay Apache the sum of U.S. $37,000 to settle the dispute arising from charges
incurred during the acquisition of seismic data by Geofizyka Krakow. FX Energy's
payment of this  settlement  amount  shall not be  construed  as an admission of
liability on its part in any respect. Payment shall be made within five business
days of the execution of this Agreement.

         10.      Miscellaneous.

                  (i) Governing  Law. This  Agreement  shall be governed by, and
         construed  and enforced in  accordance  with,  the laws of the State of
         Texas  without  regard to any  conflict of law rules that would  direct
         application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

                  (ii) Severability.  This Agreement is severable,  such that if
         any provision of this Agreement is prohibited or  unenforceable  in any
         jurisdiction  such  provision  shall,  as  to  such  jurisdiction,   be
         ineffective  to the  extent  of such  prohibition  or  unenforceability
         without  invalidating  the remaining  portions  hereof or affecting the
         validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (iii)  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or
         more counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed an original,  but all
         of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                  (iv) Amendments and Prior Agreements.  This Agreement shall be
         effective  when signed by the parties and may not be amended,  modified
         or assigned except by an instrument  executed by all of the parties. To
         the  extent  of any  conflicts  or  inconsistencies,  and  only to such
         extent,  this Agreement  supersedes all prior agreements between Apache
         and FX Energy.

                  (v)  Assignments.  This  Agreement is binding upon the parties
         and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party may
         assign or transfer  any of its rights or delegate  any of its duties or
         obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other
         parties.

         IN  WITNESS  whereof  this  Agreement  has  been  signed  by  the  duly
authorized  representatives  of the  parties as of the day and year first  above
written.
