Second quarter 1999 marketing revenues were $756,563,000 a 66% increase over the comparative 1998 period. The revenue growth resulted from increased purchase volumes together with rising crude oil prices. While marketing volumes were increasing, marketing operating earnings were increasing at a faster rate due to improved margins. The general trend for crude prices caused margins to increase in the current period. During the second quarter of 1999, the Company was selling its crude oil inventory into a rising marketplace while during the second quarter of 1998, inventory was sold into a market experiencing declining prices. -3- 4 - Transportation Transportation revenues and operating earnings were as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended Increase Three Months Ended Increase June 30, (Decrease) June 30, (Decrease) ------------------- -------- -------------------- -------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- ------- Revenues $16,925 $16,992 -- $ 9,074 $ 8,329 9% Operating earnings $ 1,198 $ 1,659 (28%) $ 815 $ 740 10% During the second quarter of 1999, the Company began to experience an increase in the demand for its petrochemical trucking services. Trucking revenues improved to $9,074,000 in the current quarter versus $8,329,000 in the prior year period. The revenue increase caused operating earnings to improve by 10% to $815,000 for the second quarter of 1999. Trucking operations have not experienced the level of demand originally anticipated for 1999. In addition, higher fuel prices and driver wage scales have served to stymie earnings growth. - Oil and Gas Oil and gas division revenues and operating earnings are primarily a function of crude oil and natural gas prices and volumes. Comparative amounts are as follows (in thousands except price information): Six Months Ended Three Months Ended June 30, June 30, ---------------- ------------------ 1999 1998 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- -------- Revenues $ 1,716 $ 3,516 $ 863 $ 1,920 Operating earnings (loss) $ (487) $ (675) $ 89 $ (765) Volume/Price Information: Crude oil Volume 21 Bbls 36 Bbls 11 Bbls 19 Bbls Average price per Bbl $ 12.42 $ 13.75 $ 14.23 $ 13.03 Natural gas Volume 860 Mcf 1,625 Mcf 410 Mcf 825 Mcf Average price per Mcf $ 1.71 $ 1.95 $ 1.75 $ 1.99 Oil and gas revenues totaled $863,000 for the second quarter of 1999 as compared to -4- 5 $1,920,000 for the similar 1998 period. Reduced revenues were caused by normal declining natural gas production volumes which fell to 410,000 Mcf in the current quarter compared to 825,000 Mcf in the prior year period. Comparative divisional operating earnings were improved, however, to $89,000 against a prior period operating loss of $765,000. Last year's operating loss resulted from $1,044,000 of seismic geophysical costs incurred and expensed by the Company. Such expenditures are periodically necessary in an effort to locate new reserves. The Company plans to participate in the drilling of 21 wells during the second half of 1999. Sixteen of the wells will be development wells, ten of which will test "bright spot" amplitudes defined by 3-D seismic surveys in two producing fields. Four of the five exploratory wells will test "bright spot" amplitudes identified on two large 3-D shoots conducted last year in Willacy and Matagorda Counties of Texas. Estimated costs to be incurred by the Company in 1999 are approximately $2.7 million. Funding for these projects will come from current cash flow. In addition, the Company has taken an interest in a large acreage position in Fort Bend County, Texas where a 3-D survey had recently been completed. Coupled with the 1999 efforts, these prospects are expected to provide additional drilling opportunities into the year 2000. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization The provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization is reduced in the current quarter due to lower oil and gas production volumes. - Other income (expense) Property sales and other income of $705,000 and $108,000, respectively, resulted primarily from gains realized on the sale of forty-five truck tractors in the first quarter of 1999 and from the sale of a former gasoline service station location during the first quarter of 1998. Interest expense is reduced in 1999 because the Company used its excess cash flow to reduce its level of long-term debt. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flow from operations before working capital items for the first six months of 1999 totaled $6,660,000. The portion of cash flow invested in transportation operations totaled $945,000, while marketing equipment additions totaled $1,020,000 and $266,000 went toward oil and gas drilling. The remaining $4.4 million of cash flow before working capital items served to bolster cash reserves. As business continues to grow, the availability of trade credit becomes increasingly critical to the success of the Company's operation. Thus, management places great importance on maintaining a strong liquid balance sheet. Refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 for additional discussion of the Company's bank relationships and other matters. -5- 6 Year 2000 Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field. Beginning in the year 2000, these date code fields will need to accept four-digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, computer systems and software used by many companies may need to be upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Significant uncertainty exists concerning the potential effects associated with such compliance, but systems that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail. The Company has completed a review of its key computer systems and is in the process of implementing certain new operating systems applications necessary to resolve potential year 2000 compliance issues. Many of the Company's operating and financial systems are already compliant. The Company's remaining operating and financial systems are scheduled for compliance in phases and will be compliant by the year 2000. The Company has communicated with software vendors, business partners and others with which it conducts business to provide assurances that their systems will be year 2000 compliant. Adams could be adversely affected by the failure of these unaffiliated companies to adequately address the year 2000 issue. Contingency planning will be included in this assessment to identify arrangements to mitigate the impact of disruptions from outside sources. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had incurred and expensed approximately $175,000 of costs to become year 2000 compliant. An additional $25,000 is expected to be incurred and expensed during the remainder of 1999 in order to complete this project. -6- 7 ADAMS RESOURCES & ENERGY, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company's management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended and three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. The interim statement of operations is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Note 2 - Segment Reporting The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" effective January 1, 1998. Under this new standard, companies are required to report certain information about operating segments in consolidated statements. Operating segments are determined based on the method by which management organizes its business for making operating decisions and assessing performance. -9- 10 ADAMS RESOURCES & ENERGY, INC.

The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Qualifying hedges allow a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that - 11 - 12 receive hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The standard cannot be applied retroactively but early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133; however, this standard could increase volatility in earnings and shareholder's equity through other comprehensive income. On January 1, 1999 the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force's (EITF) Issue 98-10, "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities." Issue 98-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, and requires energy trading contracts (as defined) to be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, with the change in fair value included in earnings. The effect of initial adoption on January 1, 1999 was not significant. The accompanying statement of operations includes a net charge of $471,000 to reflect a loss in marketing revenues for the current period relating to such activities. The accompanying balance sheet reflects the fair value of the trading asset or $424,000 in other current assets and the fair value of the trading liability or $895,000 in current liabilities. - 12 - 13 PART II.
