BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, has been prepared from the books and records without audit. Financial information as of December 31, has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the period indicated, have been included. For further information regarding the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 24, 1997. 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE The assumed conversion of preferred stock into common stock was not included in any current year or prior year calculations due to the antidilutive effect. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128 ("FAS 128"), "Earnings Per Share", which simplifies the computation of earnings per share. FAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires restatement for all prior period earnings per share data presented. Accordingly, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with FAS 128 were as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------ ------------------ 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- -------- Per Share Data: Basic earnings per share ......... $ 0.08 $ 0.05 $ 0.66 $ 0.20 Diluted earnings per share ....... $ 0.08 $ 0.05 $ 0.63 $ 0.20 3. ACQUISITIONS In June of 1997, the Company acquired an 18.8% working interest in the Mobile Area Block 864 Unit, a 17.5% working interest in Mobile Area Blocks 863 and 907, and a 35% working interest in Mobile Area Block 908 from ELF Exploration, Inc. The net purchase price was $11.8 million and was funded by the Company's Credit Facility. 4. SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES On July 31, 1997 the Company issued $36 million of 10.125% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2002. Interest is payable quarterly beginning September 15, 1997. The Senior Subordinated Notes were offered in a private placement transaction. Until November 10, 1997, the Series A Notes are exchangeable for $36 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 10.125% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2002 that have been registered under the Securities Act. The net proceeds to the Company, after costs of the transaction, were used to repay the outstanding balance on Callon's Credit Facility and fund a portion of the remaining 1997 capital expenditure budget. 6 5. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In October 1997, the Company agreed to purchase Chevron U.S.A Inc.'s interest in the Mobile Block 864 Area (the "Chevron Acquisition") for $34 million effective July 1, 1997. The Chevron Acquisition is expected to close November 1997 for a net purchase price of $30.9 million. Because all working interest owners in this property, including the Company, have a preferential right to acquire a proportionate share of this Chevron interest, the Company's total interest acquired could be reduced by 39%. No assurances can be made that the Company will be able to successfully consummate the Chevron Acquisition or as to whether preferential rights will be exercised. On November 4, 1997, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission whereby 2,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock will be offered. The net proceeds will be used to fund the Chevron Acquisition and a portion of the Company's budgeted exploration and development expenditures. 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company's revenues, profitability and future growth and the carrying value of its oil and gas properties are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of oil and gas. The Company's ability to maintain or increase its borrowing capacity and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent upon oil and gas prices. Prices for oil and gas are subject to large fluctuation in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond the control of the Company. Any substantial and extended decline in the price of oil or gas would have an adverse effect on the Company's carrying value of its proved reserves, borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations. The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the Company's historical financial position and results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The Company's historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report contain detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with the following discussion. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of capital are its cash flow from operations, borrowings from financial institutions and the sale of debt and equity securities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ending September 30, 1997 totaled $20.3 million. Other sources of cash during the first nine months were $54.5 million advanced under the Company's Credit Facility and sale of senior subordinated notes and $4.4 million was generated from the sale of mineral interests. During the first nine months of 1997, debt payments were $18.5 million, capital expenditures were $61 million and $2.1 million was paid as dividends to the preferred stockholders. At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $3.6 million and a current ratio of 1.3 to 1. The Company has budgeted $85.6 million in capital expenditures through fiscal 1998. During the first nine months of 1997, the Company has expended approximately $24 million on drilling, development and exploration activities and $37 million in acquisitions of producing properties, undeveloped mineral interests and seismic information attributable to future drilling sites. The Company intends to continue evaluating other potential producing property acquisitions and drilling opportunities. The capital budget will be financed with the sale of debt and equity securities, projected cash flow from operations and unused borrowings under the Company's Credit Facility. On July 31, 1997 the Company issued $36 million of 10.125% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2002. Interest is payable quarterly beginning September 15, 1997. The Senior Subordinated Notes were offered in a private placement transaction. The net proceeds to the Company, after costs of the transaction, were used to repay the outstanding balance on Callon's Credit Facility and fund a portion of the remaining 1997 capital expenditure budget. 8 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain operating information with respect to the oil and gas operations of the Company.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996. OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION AND REVENUES Total oil and gas revenues increased 38% from $6.3 million in 1996 to $8.7 million in 1997. This increase is largely the result of increased gas production from newly acquired properties. Oil production during the third quarter of 1997 totaled 114,000 barrels and generated $2.0 million in revenues compared to 149,000 barrels and $2.7 million in revenues for the same period in 1996. Third quarter average daily production decreased from 1,619 barrels per day in 1996 to 1,236 barrels per day in 1997. Average oil prices received in the third quarter of 1997 were $17.71 compared to $17.90 in 1996. This reduction in production and corresponding reduction in revenues is normal considering the maturity of the owned properties. Gas production during the third quarter of 1997 totaled 2.95 billion cubic feet and generated $6.7 million in revenues compared to 1.87 billion cubic feet and $3.6 million in revenues during the same period in 1996. The average sales price for the third quarter of 1997 averaged $2.28 per thousand cubic feet compared to $1.96 per thousand cubic feet at this time last year. Although the North Dauphin Island Field production was lower than last year, production from the new properties more than offset this decline. 9 The following table summarizes oil and gas production from the Company's major producing properties for the comparable periods. OIL PRODUCTION GAS PRODUCTION (BARRELS) (MCF) THREE MONTHS ENDED THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ----------------- --------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------- ------- --------- --------- Chandeleur Block 40 ................ -- -- 843,000 402,000 Main Pass 163 ...................... -- -- 854,000 88,000 Main Pass 164/165 .................. -- -- 299,000 12,000 Mobile Bay 864 ..................... -- -- 323,000 -- North Dauphin Island Field ......... -- -- 306,000 1,039,000 Black Bay Complex .................. 41,000 52,000 -- -- Big Escambia Creek ................. 29,000 25,000 44,000 49,000 Other properties ................... 44,000 72,000 277,000 282,000 ------- ------- --------- --------- Total ......................... 114,000 149,000 2,946,000 1,872,000 ======= ======= ========= ========= LEASE OPERATING EXPENSES Lease operating expenses, including severance taxes, for the three-month period ending September 30, 1997 were $2.1 million, substantially unchanged from $2.0 million for the same period in 1996. Average severance tax per Mcfe declined due to a significantly higher portion of the Company's production coming from wells on federal offshore leases, not subject to severance taxes. DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three months ending September 30, 1997 and 1996 was $3.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, reflecting the overall increase in production. For the three-month periods ending September 30, 1997 and 1996, the per Mcf equivalent amount was $1.02 and $1.03, respectively. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $0.9 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. This expense increase is generally attributable to increased compensation expense attributable to stock plans and a reduction in management fees as a result of property sales. 10 INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense increased from $136,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $735,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1997 reflecting the increase in the Company's long-term debt. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996. OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION AND REVENUES For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, total oil and gas revenues increased by $11.0 million, or 59%, to $29.6 million when compared to $18.6 million for the same period in 1996. For the nine months ending September 30, 1997, oil production and revenues decreased to 351,000 barrels and $6.6 million, respectively. For the comparable period in 1996, oil production was 451,000 barrels while revenues totaled $8.1 million. Oil prices during the first nine months of 1997 averaged $18.83, compared to $18.05 for the same period in 1996. Although prices were higher, the loss of production from the properties that were sold and the decline in other non-core properties caused the overall decline in oil revenues. Natural gas production and revenue for the nine-month period ending September 30, 1997 were 9.39 billion cubic feet and $23.0 million, respectively, increasing from 4.78 billion cubic feet and gas revenues of $10.4 million in the first nine months of 1996. The average sales price for natural gas in the first nine months in 1997 was $2.45 per Mcf, a $0.27 per Mcf increase over the same period in 1996. The combination of increased prices and production volumes generated the 120% increase in total gas revenues. The following table summarizes oil and gas production from the Company's major producing properties for the comparable periods.

This increase is primarily the result of expenses associated with the new producing properties. Severance taxes decreased by 29% to $1.1 million during the first nine months of 1997 from $1.5 million for the same period in 1996 as a result of production declines in the Company's onshore properties, property sales and a significantly higher portion of the Company's production coming from wells on federal offshore leases, not subject to severance taxes. DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the first nine months of 1997 was $11.3 million, or $0.98 per Mcf equivalent. For the same period in 1996, the total was $7.7 million and $1.03 per Mcf equivalent. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE During the first nine months of 1997, general and administrative expenses increased by 39% to $3.3 million compared to $2.4 million for the nine-month period in 1996. Increased compensation expense related to stock plans and a reduction in management fees as a result of property sales, combined to produce this overall increase. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense during the first three quarters of 1997 was $945,000 compared to $184,000 for the first three quarters of 1996 as a result of the increase in the Company's long-term debt.
