NOTE A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have  been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to rules  and  regulations  of the
Securities  and  Exchange   Commission;   however,   the  Company  believes  the
disclosures  which are made are adequate to make the  information  presented not
misleading.  The financial  statements and footnotes  included in this Form 10-Q
should be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of the Company as
of March 31, 2000 and the results of its  operations  for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999.

The results of operations  for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


NOTE B - Acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties
- ----------------------------------------------
On  March 2,  2000,  the  Company  completed  its  acquisition  of  working
interests  in the Burrwood  and West Delta 83 Fields,  comprising  approximately
8,600 acres, in Plaquemines Parish,  Louisiana for $1,650,000 and the assumption
of the fields plugging and abandonment  obligation estimated at $5,000,000.  The
Company  acquired an  approximate  95%  working  interest of all rights from the
surface to  approximately  10,600' and an approximate  47.5% working interest in
the deep rights below 10,600'.  In connection  with the  acquisition the Company
secured a performance  bond and established an escrow account to be used for the
payment of  obligations  associated  with the  plugging and  abandonment  of the
wells,  salvage and removal of  platforms  and related  equipment,  and the site
restoration of the fields.  Required  escrowed  outlays  include an initial cash
payment of $750,000  and  monthly  cash  payments of $70,000  until June 1, 2005
subject to a  redetermination  at August 1, 2000.  In  addition,  as part of the
purchase  agreement,  the Company has agreed to shoot a 3-D seismic  survey over
the  fields by June 30,  2001 or remit  payment  to the  seller in the amount of
$3,500,000.  The cost of the  seismic  study  is  expected  to be  approximately
$2,500,000 and the Company has escrowed cash  compensating  balances of $500,000
with Compass Bank to be used solely for  payments or  reimbursements  of amounts
expended in satisfaction of the seismic requirement.  The Company has identified
a number of  development  opportunities  in the fields,  which it plans to begin
exploiting in the year 2000.

NOTE C - Private Placement
- --------------------------
On February 18, 2000, the Company  completed a private  placement of shares
of its common stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $4,500,000.  The
Company issued 1,533,333  shares of common stock in an offering,  which began on
January  28,  2000.  The  $4,500,000  in offering  proceeds,  in addition to the
Company's  existing  working capital and anticipated  cash flow from operations,
have  been  used  to  assist  in the  acquisition  of and  will  be  used in the
development of the Burrwood and West Delta 83 fields, and to further develop the
Lafitte field  purchased in 1999.  The Company owns an  approximate  49% working
interest in the Lafitte field in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, which was acquired
in September 1999.

Note D - Conversion of Preferred Units
- --------------------------------------
On January 28, 2000, the Company notified holders of Goodrich Petroleum Company,
LLC's Series A Preferred  Units that it intended to call for  redemption all the
outstanding  units which were  convertible  into the  Company's  common stock at
$2.00 per share.  On February  17,  2000,  all of the  holders of the  Preferred
Units,  representing one hundred percent of the $3,000,000 of outstanding Units,
converted the Units into  approximately  1,550,000 shares of the common stock of
Goodrich  Petroleum  Corporation.  The  conversion  of the  preferred  units and
private placement  increased the Company's  stockholders equity by approximately
$7,200,000.

NOTE E - Lafitte Field Acquisition
- ----------------------------------
On September 23, 1999 the Company  acquired an approximate 49% working  interest
in the Lafitte Field located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana for $2,940,000.  The
field  encompasses  over 8,000 acres and is located  approximately  thirty miles
south of New Orleans. The Company commenced development activities in the fourth
quarter of 1999.

The  consideration  granted  to  seller  included  a  production  payment  to be
satisfied  through the delivery of production  from the property.  In connection
with the  transaction,  the Company recorded a production  payment  liability of
approximately  $2,200,000,  representing  the  discounted  present  value of the
estimated production payments necessary to satisfy the obligation.

Additionally,  the Company  recorded a $3,800,000  liability for its interest in
the estimated  plugging and  abandonment  costs  assumed in connection  with the
purchase. It is expected that approximately $265,000 of the costs will be funded
within the next 12 months.

NOTE F - Commitments and Contingencies
- --------------------------------------
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has identified the Company as a
potentially  responsible  party  ("PRP") for the cost of clean-up of  "hazardous
substances" at an oil field waste disposal site in Vermilion Parish,  Louisiana.
The Company has estimated that the remaining  cost of long-term  clean-up of the
site  will be  approximately  $4.5  million  with the  Company's  percentage  of
responsibility to be approximately  3.05%. As of March 31, 2000, the Company has
paid approximately $321,000 in costs related to this matter and $122,500 accrued
for the  remaining  liability.  These  costs have not been  discounted  to their
present  value.  The EPA and the PRPs will  continue  to  evaluate  the site and


                                       9
<PAGE>

revise  estimates  for the  long-term  clean-up  of the  site.  There  can be no
assurance that the cost of clean-up and the Company's percentage  responsibility
will not be higher than  currently  estimated.  In  addition,  under the federal
environmental  laws,  the liability  costs for the clean-up of the site is joint
and several among all PRPs. Therefore,  the ultimate cost of the clean up to the
Company could be  significantly  higher than the amount  presently  estimated or
accrued for this liability.

NOTE G - Preferred Stock Dividends
- ----------------------------------
Beginning in 1999, the Company  suspended  dividend payments on its Series A and
Series B convertible preferred stock. Dividends on both classes of its preferred
stock is  cumulative  and  arrearages  amounted to $307,000 and $313,000 for the
quarters  ended  March  31,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.   Total  cumulative
arrearages  amounted to  $1,557,000 at March 31, 2000.  Accordingly,  undeclared
dividends  held in arrears  have been  considered  in  computing  loss per share
amounts applicable to common stockholders.

NOTE H - Stock Option Plan
- --------------------------
At the March 29, 2000 Board of Directors  meeting,  the  Compensation  Committee
voted to  accelerate  the vesting  schedule on options  granted to  employees on
February 25, 1999. The vesting  period for the applicable  options was immediate
and the total number of options affected was 235,696.


NOTE I - Income Taxes
- ---------------------
No provision  for income  taxes has been  recorded for the Company for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 due to its incurring a net  operating  loss
for each period.  A valuation  allowance has been provided for the amount of net
operating losses incurred.

Changes in Results of Operations
- --------------------------------
    Three months ended March 31, 2000 versus three months ended March 31,1999

Total  revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 amounted to $4,674,000
and were $1,732,000  higher than the $2,942,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 due to higher oil and gas revenues.  Oil and gas sales were  $1,666,000
higher due primarily to significantly  higher oil and gas prices for the current
period,  partially  offset by lower gas  volumes  compared to the same period in
1999.  Oil and gas sales were reduced by 485,000 in the three months ended March
2000  as a  result  of the  settlement  of  the  Company's  outstanding  futures
contracts.  The  Company  incurred  a loss  on the  sale  of  marketable  equity
securities of $519,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

The following table reflects the production volumes and pricing  information for
the periods presented.

</TABLE>

Lease  operating  expense and  production  taxes were  $1,341,000  for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000,  versus  $667,000 for the three months ended March
31,  1999 due in part to the  increased  costs  associated  with  the  Company's
Lafitte and Burrwood/West Delta 83 Field acquisitions and higher lease operating
costs  associated  with  certain  older,  mature oil and gas fields.  Depletion,
depreciation  and  amortization  was $1,304,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 versus  $1,309,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, or $5,000
lower due to higher overall  depletion rates in the first quarter of 2000 versus
1999  offset  by lower  volumes  in the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000.
Exploration expense in the first quarter of 2000 was $361,000 versus $399,000 in
the first  quarter of 1999,  or $38,000 lower due primarily to seismic costs and
prospect depreciation of $-0- and $274,000 respectively, in the first quarter of
2000 versus $34,000 and $290,000 respectively, in the same period in 1999.

Interest  expense  was  $1,144,000  in the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000
compared to $520,000  in the first  quarter of 1999 due to the Company  having a
higher  effective  interest  rate and higher  average debt  outstanding  for the
quarter  ended  March  31,  2000  as a  result  of the  September  1999  private


                                       11
<PAGE>

placement.  The 2000  amount  includes  non-cash  expenses  associated  with the
amortization  of financing costs and detachable  common stock purchase  warrants
issued in connection with the September 1999 private placement.

General and  administrative  expenses  amounted to $479,000 in the three  months
ended March 31, 2000 versus $564,000 in the first quarter of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities was $243,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2000  compared to $1,534,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999.
The Company's accompanying  Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows identify major
differences between net income and net cash provided by operating activities for
each of the periods presented.

Net cash used in investing  activities  totaled $2,177,000 for the first quarter
of 2000 compared to  $1,272,000  in 1999.  The three months ended March 31, 2000
reflects cash paid in connection  with the acquisition of oil and gas properties
of $1,199,000,  and capital  expenditures  totaling $1,105,000 and proceeds from
the sale of oil and gas properties of $126,000. The three months ended March 31,
1999 consists of capital  expenditures  of $1,512,000 and proceeds from the sale
of marketable equity securities of $240,000.

Net cash provided by financing  activities was $2,392,000 for the current period
as compared to $0 in 1999. The 2000 amount  includes  proceeds from the issuance
of common  stock of  $4,500,000  and pay downs by the Company  under its line of
credit of $1,025,000.  The 2000 amount  includes  changes in restricted  cash of
$1,250,000,  production payments of $31,000 and debt financing costs of $30,000.
In  addition,  the 2000  amount  includes  proceeds  from the  exercise of stock
options and warrants of $227,000.

Compass Credit Facility
- -----------------------
On March 2, 2000 the Company amended its credit agreement with Compass Bank. The
amended  facility  provides for a Borrowing Base of  $27,100,000  with continued
monthly  reductions  of  $300,000,  until July 1, 2001.  The  maturity  date for
amounts  drawn under the bank credit  facility is July 1, 2001 with no borrowing
base  redeterminations  conducted  prior to that  date.  Interest  on the credit
facility is the Compass Bank Index Rate plus 5/8%.

Substantially  all of the  Company's  assets are  pledged to secure  this credit
facility.

The revised credit facility  requires the net proceeds of asset sales be used to
extinguish   outstanding  principal  and  interest  under  the  borrowing  base.
Additionally,  under the terms of the credit facility,  the Company may not make
any  distributions  or pay  dividends,  including  dividends on any class of its
preferred stock without lender approval.

The Company had  $2,303,000  in capital  expenditures  in the three months ended
March 31, 2000. The Company's  budget for 2000 capital  expenditures  was set at
the beginning of the year at  $12,500,000.  Such budget is under constant review



                                       12
<PAGE>

during  the year and  could  change  due to  actual  and  estimated  cash  flow,
commodity prices,  business opportunities and other factors. The Company expects
to fund capital expenditures for the remainder of 2000 from operating cash flow,
cash and other financing arrangements.

Stock Listing
- -------------
On July 28, 1999 the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange that it
had revised its minimum  financial  criteria for listed  companies  and the time
frame  required for listed  companies  to become  compliant.  In  addition,  the
Company was informed  that it was not in compliance  with the revised  criteria.
The Company  submitted a revised  twelve-month  business plan to the Exchange in
response to the notice on September 10, 1999.  The business plan was accepted by
the New York Stock Exchange and will be monitored by the Exchange for compliance
on a quarterly  basis.  The  short-term  nature of the business plan may make it
difficult to adhere to this business  plan. If the Company fails to do so, there
can be no  assurance  that the New York  Stock  Exchange  will  not  delist  the
Company's common stock.

Accounting Matters
- ------------------
The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 133,  Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities,  in June 1997.  This statement
established  accounting and reporting  standards for derivative  instruments and
hedging  activities.  Effective  January 1, 2001, the Company must recognize the
fair value of all derivative  instruments as either assets or liabilities in its
Consolidated Balance Sheet. As derivative instruments meeting certain conditions
may be designated as a hedge of a specific exposure, accounting for changes in a
derivative's  fair value will depend on the intended use of the  derivative  and
the resulting  designation.  Any transition  adjustments resulting from adopting
this statement will be reported in net income of other comprehensive  income, as
appropriate,  as the  cumulative  effect  of a change  in  accounting  principle
period. As described under the heading "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About  Market  Risk" below of this Form 10-Q  report,  the Company  makes use of
derivative  instruments to hedge specific market risks.  The Company has not yet
determined  the effects  that SFAS No. 133 will have on its future  consolidated
financial  statements or the amount of the  cumulative  adjustment  that will be
made upon adopting this new standard.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- ----------------------------------------------------------

Debt and debt-related derivatives
- ---------------------------------
     The Company is exposed to  interest  rate risk on its  long-term  debt with
variable interest rates. Based on the overall interest rate exposure on variable
rate debt at March 31, 2000 a hypothetical 2% change in the interest rates would
increase interest expense by approximately $721,000.

Hedging Activity
- ----------------
      The Company engages in futures  contracts  ("Agreements")  with certain of
its production.  The Company  considers  these to be hedging  activities and, as
such, monthly settlements on these contracts are reflected in oil and gas sales.



                                       13
<PAGE>

In order to consider  these  futures  contracts as hedges,  (i) the Company must
designate  the  futures  contract as a hedge of future  production  and (ii) the
contract  must reduce the  Company's  exposure to the risk of changes in prices.
Changes  in the  market  value of  futures  contracts  treated as hedges are not
recognized in income until the hedged item is also recognized in income.  If the
above  criteria  are not met,  the Company  will record the market  value of the
contract at the end of each month and recognize a related gain or loss. Proceeds
received or paid  relating to terminated  contracts or contracts  that have been
sold are amortized  over the original  contract  period and reflected in oil and
gas sales.  The Company  enters into  hedging  activities  in order to secure an
acceptable future price relating to a portion of future production.  The primary
objective of the activities is to protect against  decreases in price during the
term of the hedge.

      The  Agreements  provide for  separate  contracts  tied to the NYMEX light
sweet crude oil and natural gas  futures  contracts.  The Company has  contracts
which contain specific  contracted prices ("Swaps") or price ranges  ("Collars")
that are settled monthly based on the differences  between the contract price or
price ranges and the average  NYMEX prices for each month applied to the related
contract  volumes.  To the extent the average  NYMEX price  exceeds the contract
price, the Company pays the spread, and to the extent the contract price exceeds
the average NYMEX price the Company receives the spread.

As of March 31, 2000,  the Company's  open forward  position on its  outstanding
crude oil was as follows:

(a)  350 barrels of oil per day with a no cost "collar" of $19.00 and $21.00 per
     barrel through December 2000;
(b)  150 barrels of oil per day with a no cost "collar" of $18.20 and $20.20 per
     barrel through December 2000; and
(c)  300 barrels of oil per day on a crude oil "swap" with a price of $23.98 per
     barrel through April 2000.
(d)  500 barrels of oil per day with a no cost "collar" of $21.00 and $29.00 per
     barrel beginning May 2000 through September 2000.

      At March 31, 2000 the Company's open forward  position on its  outstanding
crude oil hedging  contracts  was 800 bbl per day at an average price of $21.29.
The fair value of the crude oil  hedging  contracts  in place at March 31,  2000
resulted in a liability of $670,000.

      At March 31, 2000 the Company's open forward  position on its  outstanding
gas hedging  contracts  was 5,000 Mcf per day with a "floor"  price of $2.50 per
Mcf through  October 2000.  The cost of the "floor"  contract hedge is $0.23 per
Mcf over the "floor" price. The fair value of the natural gas hedging  contracts
in place at March 31, 2000 resulted in a liability of $170,000.

Price fluctuations and the volatile nature of markets
- -----------------------------------------------------
       Despite the  measures  taken by the  Company to attempt to control  price
risk, the Company remains subject to price  fluctuations for natural gas and oil
sold in the spot market. Prices received for natural gas sold on the spot market

                                       14
<PAGE>

are volatile due primarily to seasonality of demand and other factors beyond the
Company's  control.  Domestic oil and gas prices  could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and quantities
of reserves recoverable on an economic basis.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statement
- ----------------------------------------------
Certain  statements  in this  quarterly  report  on Form 10-Q  regarding  future
expectations and plans for future activities may be regarded as "forward looking
statements"  within the meaning of Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of
1995. They are subject to various risks,  such as financial  market  conditions,
operating hazards, drilling risks and the inherent uncertainties in interpreting
engineering  data relating to underground  accumulations of oil and gas, as well
as other risks  discussed in detail in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K
and other  filings with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  Although the
Company  believes  that  the  expectations  reflected  in  such  forward-looking
statements are reasonable,  it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to be correct.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

         On February 28, 2000, the Company commenced a suit against the operator
and joint owner of the Lafitte Field,  alleging  certain items of misconduct and
violations of the letter agreement  associated with the joint  acquisition.  The
suit is in its early  stages  and it is too early to  predict a likely  outcome,
however,  as the Company is the  plaintiff  in this  action,  this action is not
expected to have a  significantly  adverse  impact on the operation or financial
position of the Company.
