REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
PetroQuest Energy, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of oil and gas revenue and direct
operating and production expenses relating to the Company's interest in certain
oil and gas producing properties (the Properties) for the year ended December
31, 1999 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These statements are
the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the statement. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement. We believe our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion
in a Form 8-K/A filed by PetroQuest Energy, Inc.) and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the revenue and expenses of the Properties mentioned

                  PETROQUEST ENERGY, INC.'S INTEREST IN CERTAIN
                        OIL AND GAS PRODUCING PROPERTIES


                 NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF OIL AND GAS REVENUE AND
                    DIRECT OPERATING AND PRODUCTION EXPENSES



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:


PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (the Company), acquired interests in certain oil and gas
producing properties (the Properties) owned by Mobil Exploration & Production
Southeast Inc. (the Operator), Northstar Offshore, LLC and Forest Oil
Corporation (collectively, the Sellers), which acquisitions closed on December
22, 2000, October 16, 2000, February 9, 2001, respectively. The net purchase
price, subject to future adjustments as provided by the purchase and sale
agreements, was approximately $7.5 million in cash.

The accompanying statements of oil and gas revenue and direct operating and
production expenses, which are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting,
relate to the interests in producing oil and gas properties described above and
may not be representative of future operations. The statements do not include
federal and state income taxes, interest, depletion, depreciation and
amortization or general and administrative expenses because such amounts would
not be indicative of those expenses which would be incurred by the Company. The
statements include oil and gas revenue and direct operating and production
expenses, including production taxes of $12,340 and $180 in 1999 and 2000,
respectively.

Generally, the oil production from the acquired interests was sold to other
affiliates of the Sellers who resold to other parties. Substantially all of the
revenue from oil production in the accompanying statements ($1,394,868 and
$727,435 in 1999 and 2000) represents the internal transfer price realized from
sales to such affiliates during the periods.

The Company's acquisition of the Properties is subject to an overriding royalty
interest of 5%, retained by the Operator, on any new well drilled or new zones
encountered, as defined by the purchase and sale agreement, up to aggregate
payments of $3 million; and, on certain production, as defined, there is no
limitation on the aggregate royalty payments.

During 1999 and 2000 the production from existing wells included in the
properties was generally in decline. While the Sellers incurred costs during
1999 to maintain or increase production levels, existing wells in the Properties
were temporarily shut-in.

Routine operation of the Properties was performed by a contract operator during
the periods presented. Amounts included in direct operating and production
expenses related to this contract were $1,757,000 and $831,000 in 1999 and 2000,
respectively.

Costs related to salaries and certain benefits for operating employees of the
Operator which were allocated, in part, to the Properties were $179,000 and
$5,000 in 1999 and 2000, respectively, and are included in direct operating and
production expenses.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS RESERVES (UNAUDITED):

The Company's internal reserve engineers prepared an estimate of the future net
oil and gas reserves of the Properties as of December 31, 2000. The following
reserve quantity information has been derived from this estimate, as adjusted
for production and unit prices. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in
estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting the future rates of
production and timing of development expenditures. The following reserve data
represent estimates only and should not be construed as the current market value
of the property or the cost that would be incurred to obtain equivalent
reserves.

Estimated quantities of proved net reserves include only those quantities that
can be expected to be commercially recoverable at prices and costs in effect at
the effective date of the acquisition, under existing regulatory practices and
with conventional equipment and operating methods. Proved developed reserves
represent only those reserves expected to be recovered through existing wells
with existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves
include those reserves expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled
acreage or from existing wells on which relatively major expenditures are
required for recompletion.

An analysis of the estimated changes in quantities of proved reserves for the
year ended December 31, 1999 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 is
shown below:

The following is a summary of a standardized measure of discounted future net
cash flows related to the proved oil and gas reserves of the Properties. For
these calculations, estimated future cash flows from estimated future production
or proved reserves were computed using oil and gas prices as of the end of each
period presented. Future development and production costs attributable to the
proved reserves were estimated assuming that existing conditions would continue
over the economic life of


   7



the Properties, and costs were not escalated for the future. The Properties are
not a separate tax paying entity. Accordingly, the standardized measure of
discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves is presented before
deduction of federal income taxes. The information presented below should not be
viewed as an estimate of the fair value of the Properties, nor should it be
considered indicative of any future trends.

     (b)      Pro Forma Financial Information

PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (the Company), acquired interests in certain oil and gas
producing properties (the Property Acquisition) owned by Mobil Exploration &
Production Southeast Inc. (the Operator), Northstar Offshore, LLC and Forest Oil
Corporation (collectively, the Sellers), which acquisitions closed on December
22, 2000, October 16, 2000, February 9, 2001, respectively. The net purchase
price, subject to future adjustments as provided by the purchase and sale
agreements, was approximately $7.5 million in cash. The consideration was funded
by borrowings under a new facility with a 10% interest rate and contained a $1
million commitment fee paid to the lender.

The following unaudited condensed pro forma combined balance sheet assumes that
the Property Acquisition occurred on September 30, 2000 and reflects the
historical consolidated balance sheet of the Company giving pro forma effect to
this transaction using the purchase method of accounting. The unaudited
condensed pro forma combined balance sheet should be read in conjunction with
the historical statements and related notes of the Company.

                             PETROQUEST ENERGY, INC.
           NOTES TO CONDENSED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

A.       ACQUISITION OF LOUISIANA PROPERTY

PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (the Company), acquired interests in certain oil and gas
producing properties (the Property Acquisition) owned by Mobil Exploration &
Production Southeast Inc. (the Operator), Northstar Offshore, LLC and Forest Oil
Corporation (collectively, the Sellers), which acquisitions closed on December
22, 2000, October 16, 2000, February 9, 2001, respectively. The net purchase
price, subject to future adjustments as provided by the purchase and sale
agreements, was approximately $7.5 million in cash. The consideration was funded
by borrowings under a new facility with a 10% interest rate and contained a $1
million commitment fee paid to the lender.

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the accompanying
historical revenues and direct operating and production expenses of the
properties for the year ended December 31, 1999 and nine months ended September
20, 2000 and the balance sheet as of September 30, 2000:


1.       To adjust depreciation, depletion and amortization expense to reflect
         the estimated pro forma combined rate.

2.       To adjust general and administrative expenses to reflect increase costs
         associated with the Property Acquisition, net of estimated amounts
         capitalized.

3.       Payment of lender's fee on secured borrowing made to finance the
         acquisition. This amount is treated as deferred financing costs
         amortized in interest expense.

4.       Secured borrowing obtained to finance the acquisition.

5.       To record the purchase price of the acquired interest, allocating a
         portion to unevaluated costs.

B.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed pro forma combined balance sheet assumes
that the Property Acquisition occurred on September 30, 2000 and reflects the
September 30, 2000 historical consolidated balance sheet of the Company giving
pro forma effect to this transaction. The unaudited condensed pro forma combined
balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the historical statements and
related notes of the Company.

The accompanying unaudited condensed pro forma combined statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1999 and nine months ended September 30, 2000
assumes that the Property Acquisition occurred as of January 1, 1999. The pro
forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that would actually have been attained if the transaction had
occurred as of January 1, 1999. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the historical statements and related notes of the Company and the
Statements of Oil and Gas Revenues and Direct Operating and Production Expenses
of the acquired properties.

In the opinion of management, these condensed pro forma combined financial
statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
condensed unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. Accounting policies
used in the preparation of the pro forma statements are those disclosed in the
Company's historical consolidated financial statements. In preparing these pro
forma statements, no adjustments have been made to reflect transactions that
have occurred since the dates of the pro forma financial statements. The
condensed unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the description of the Property Acquisition elsewhere in this
