                             CALLON PETROLEUM COMPANY
                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2001



1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31,
     has been prepared from the Company's 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, 2000 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
     dated March 30, 2001.

     Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting
     Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities, as amended ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and
     reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments, including
     certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded in
     the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair
     value. Changes in the value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow
     hedges, to the extent effective, are reported in other comprehensive
     income, a component of stockholders' equity, until realized. See Note 3.

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement
     of Accounting Standards No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations ("SFAS 143").
     SFAS 143 will require that the fair value of abandonment obligations be
     reflected as a liability, resulting in a corresponding increase to the
     historical cost of the related assets and potentially an adjustment for the
     cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This standard will
     be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. The Company has not
     yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS 143.

2.   PER SHARE AMOUNTS

     Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
     quarter. Diluted earnings or loss per common share were determined on a
     weighted average basis using common shares issued and outstanding adjusted
     for the effect of stock options considered common stock equivalents
     computed using the treasury stock method and the effect of the convertible
     preferred stock (if dilutive). The earnings per share computation for the
     six-month period ended June 30, 2001 includes the conversion of preferred
     stock in the computation of diluted income per share because the preferred
     stock was dilutive. The conversion of the preferred stock was not included
     in the calculation for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and for the quarter
     and the six months ended June 30, 2000 due to the preferred stock's
     antidilutive effect on diluted income or loss per share.

A reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation is as
follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

3.   DERIVATIVES

     The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage oil and gas
     price risks. Settlements of gains and losses on commodity price swap
     contracts are generally based upon the difference between the contract
     price or prices specified in the derivative instrument and a NYMEX price
     and are reported as a component of oil and gas revenues. Approximately
     $1,394,000 related to these financial instruments was recognized as a
     reduction of oil and gas revenue in the first six months of 2001 and
     $886,000 was recognized as a reduction in the first half of 2000.

     These 2001 contracts, in effect at June 30, 2001, are for average gas
     volumes of 400,000 Mcf per month from July 2001 through October 2001 at (on
     average) a ceiling price of $5.50 and floor price of $4.44. The Company had
     no open crude oil contracts at June 30, 2001.

     The Company also has natural gas collar contracts, in effect, for January
     2002 through December 2002. These agreements are for average gas volumes of
     600,000 Mcf per month with a weighted average ceiling price of $6.09 and
     floor price of $4.11.

     As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted SFAS 133 effective January 1,
     2001. The cumulative effect of the accounting change, net of tax, recorded
     as other comprehensive loss was $3,764,000. In the first six months of
     2001, this amount was offset by an increase in the fair value of
     derivatives recorded as other comprehensive income, net of tax, of
     $8,350,000. As a result of SFAS 133, the Company recorded $4,586,000 as
     other comprehensive income and $446,000 as an increase in revenue for the
     six months ended June 30, 2001. Recorded in the balance sheet is $7.5
     million in assets representing the fair market value of the derivative
     financial instruments at June 30, 2001, of which approximately $5.2 million
     is classified as a current asset. Included in other

   8

     comprehensive income at June 30, 2001 is $270,000, net of tax, which will
     be recorded as a reduction in revenue in the second half of 2001.

4.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     In July 2001,the Company entered into a $95 million multiple advance term
     loan with a private lender. The company issued $45 million of 12% senior
     notes upon closing of the loan and will issue the remaining $50 million of
     senior notes prior to June 30, 2002. Under the terms of the agreement
     Callon also issued warrants to purchase, at a nominal exercise price,
     265,210 shares of its common stock and conveyed an overriding royalty
     interest equal to 2% of the company's net interest in four deepwater
     discoveries. The senior notes will mature March 31, 2005 and contain
     restrictions on certain types of future indebtedness.

5.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The first six months of 2000 did not include any items of other
     comprehensive income. A recap of the Company's 2001 comprehensive income is
     shown below (in thousands):

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in
this report, including statements regarding the Company's financial position,
adequacy of resources, estimated reserve quantities, business strategies, plans,
objectives and expectations for future operations and covenant compliance, are
forward-looking statements. The Company can give no assurances that the
assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based will prove to
have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the Company's expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are
disclosed below, in the section "Risk Factors" included in the Company's Form
10-K, elsewhere in this report and from time to time in other filings made by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written
and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons
acting on its behalf are expressly qualified by the Cautionary Statements.

GENERAL

The Company's revenues, profitability, future growth and the carrying value of
its oil and gas properties are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of
oil and gas and its ability to find, develop and acquire additional oil and gas
reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company's ability to maintain or
increase its borrowing capacity and to obtain additional capital on attractive
terms is also influenced by oil and gas prices. Prices for oil and gas are
subject to large fluctuations 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. These factors include
weather conditions in the United States, the condition of the United States
economy, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries,
governmental regulations, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere,
the foreign supply of oil and gas, the price of foreign imports and the
availability of alternate fuel sources. 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 Company uses derivative financial instruments
for price protection purposes on a limited amount of its future production but,
does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the
Company's historical financial positions and results of operations. The
Company's historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere
in this quarterly report contains 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 flows from operations,
borrowings from financial institutions and the sale of debt and equity
securities. Net cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30,
2001 decreased by $3.9 million and net cash flows from operations before working
capital changes totaled $26.0 million. Net capital expenditures from the cash
flow statement for the period totaled $53.5 million. These funds were primarily
expended in exploration, drilling and completion of oil and gas properties.

At June 30, 2001, the Company had working capital of $5.4 million.



                                       9
   10

In May 2001, the Company initiated a combination of offerings of equity and
senior notes to investors with proceeds to be used to call certain of the
Company's subordinated debt, repay borrowings under its senior secured credit
facility and to finance capital expenditures. Subsequently, the Company withdrew
its offer to sell the senior notes and the equity sale was terminated.
Approximately $358,000 of costs associated with the withdrawn offering were
expensed during the quarter.

In early July of 2001, the Company closed a $95 million multiple advance term
loan with a private lender. The Company drew $45 million on July 3, 2001 and
paid down its revolving Credit Facility. The Company plans to draw the remaining
$50 million as capital expenditures (primarily on the deepwater Medusa
construction and completion project) are incurred. Under the terms of the
agreement, Callon also issued warrants for the purchase, at a nominal exercise
price, of 265,210 shares of its common stock to the lender and conveyed an
overriding royalty interest equal to 2% of the company's net interest in four of
its deepwater discoveries. All amounts under the loan must be drawn before June
30, 2002. This senior debt will mature March 31, 2005 and contains restrictions
on certain types of future indebtedness and dividends on common stock.

The proceeds from this financing, when combined with cash flow and current
availability under the senior secured credit facility, is anticipated to fund
our capital budgets for the balance of this year, and into next year. This would
include completion of the Medusa deepwater discovery, currently scheduled to
begin production in the fourth quarter of 2002. It also includes ongoing
delineation and development drilling programs at three additional deepwater
discoveries, and an ongoing exploration program in both the shelf and deepwater
regions of the Gulf of Mexico. However, additional capital requirements may
result from greater than anticipated success rates from the Company's ongoing
shelf and deepwater exploration programs and the refinancing of our senior
subordinated notes due 2002.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures for exploration and development costs related to oil and
gas properties totaled approximately $53.5 million in the first six months of
2001. The Company incurred approximately $36.1 million in the Gulf of Mexico
Shelf area. These expenditures included exploration costs of approximately $24.6
million related to four successful and five unsuccessful Gulf of Mexico Shelf
prospects evaluated during the first half of 2001. Three successful development
wells and other production facility costs accounted for the remainder of the
expenditures in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf area in the first six months of 2001.
The Gulf of Mexico Deepwater area expenditures and other capitalized costs
accounted for the remainder of the total capital expended. The Company had one
unsuccessful deepwater exploration project in the first quarter of 2001 and the
balance totaling $6.0 million for additional development costs for production
facilities at the Company's Medusa discovery. Interest and general and
administrative costs allocable directly to exploration and development projects
were approximately $6.0 million for the first six months of 2001.

For the remainder of the year, the Company will continue evaluating property
acquisitions and drilling opportunities. The Company has budgeted up to $41.0
million in capital expenditures for the remainder of 2001. The major portion of
the capital expenditure budget will be used to drill development and exploratory
wells to increase total proved reserves and increase production for the Company.
The capital budget includes $10.7 million of additional development costs for
production facilities at the Company's Medusa discovery.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.


Oil and Gas Production and Revenues

Total oil and gas revenues increased 19% from $14.3 million in the second
quarter of 2000 to $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2001. Gas prices were
higher while oil prices declined slightly when compared to the same period in
2000. Total production for the second quarter of 2001 decreased by 8% versus the
second quarter of 2000.

Gas production during the second quarter of 2001 totaled 3.5 billion cubic feet
and generated $15.3 million in revenues compared to 3.9 billion cubic feet and
$12.5 million in revenues during the same period in 2000. The average sales
price for the second quarter of 2001 averaged $4.34 per thousand cubic feet
compared to $3.19 per thousand cubic feet at this time last year. The Company's
gas production decreased when compared to the same quarter last year as a result
of production declines at East Cameron 275 and South Marsh Island 261, offset by
increases in production at Mobile Block 864. The production declines at East
Cameron 275 and South Marsh Island 261 were normal and expected as the 2000
rates were indicative of higher initial production. Mobile Block 864 Area
increased production due to a well stimulation program as well as additions to
production through exploratory and developmental drilling on the property.

Oil production during the second quarter of 2001 totaled 69,000 barrels and
generated $1.7 million in revenues compared to 70,000 barrels and $1.9 million
in revenues for the same period in 2000. Average oil prices received in the
second quarter of 2001 were $24.70 compared to $26.74 in 2000. The decline in
production was primarily due to expected production declines in some of the
Company's older producing properties.

Lease Operating Expenses

Lease operating expenses, including severance taxes, for the three-month period
ending June 30, 2001 were $3.1 million compared to $2.3 million for the same
period in 2000. Part of the increase was due to South Marsh Island 261 initial
production beginning in May 2000, whereas 2001 incurred a full quarter of lease
operating expenses. Also, production declines related to older properties that
have relatively fixed operating costs contributed to the higher per Mcf costs
with lower production levels for those properties in the three months ended June
30, 2001.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three months ending June 30,
2001 and 2000 were $5.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. This increase is
primarily due to a higher average rate in the second quarter of 2001.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased to $1.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $0.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000. This increase was due primarily to costs incurred related
to the Company's withdrawn debt and equity offering in May of 2001.



Interest Expense

Interest expense increased from $2.1 million during the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2001. An
increase in the Company's long-term debt contributed to the greater interest
expense.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.

Oil and Gas Production and Revenues

Total oil and gas revenues increased 57% from $23.8 million in the first six
months of 2000 to $37.2 million in the first six months of 2001. Gas prices were
substantially higher while oil prices declined when compared to the same period
in 2000. Total production for the first six months of 2001 decreased by 1%
versus the first six months of 2000.

Gas production during the first six months of 2001 totaled 7.0 billion cubic
feet and generated $34.2 million in revenues compared to 7.0 billion cubic feet
and $20.3 million in revenues during the same period in 2000. The average sales
price for the first six months of 2001 averaged $4.90 per thousand cubic feet
compared to $2.90 per thousand cubic feet at this time last year. The Company's
gas production remained constant when compared to the same period last year as a
result of expected and normal declines in maturing properties along with
increased production in the Mobile Block 864 Area due to a well stimulation
program as well as additions to production through exploratory and developmental
drilling on the property.

Oil production during the first six months of 2001 totaled 120,000 barrels and
generated $3.1 million in revenues compared to 130,000 barrels and $3.5 million
in revenues for the same period in 2000. Average oil prices received in the
first six months of 2001 were $25.52 compared to $26.58 in 2000. The decline in
production was primarily due to expected production declines in some of the
Company's older producing properties.

Lease Operating Expenses

Lease operating expenses, including severance taxes, for the six months period
ending June 30, 2001 were $5.7 million compared to $4.2 million for the same
period in 2000. The increase was due primarily to South Marsh Island 261 initial
production beginning in May 2000, whereas 2001 incurred a full six months of
lease operating expenses. Also, production declines related to older properties
that have relatively fixed operating costs contributed to the higher per Mcf
costs with lower production levels for those properties in the six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the six months ending June 30, 2001
and 2000 were $10.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively. This increase is
primarily due to a higher average rate in the first six months of 2001.


General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased to $2.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000. This increase was, in part, due to the cost incurred in May 2001
related to the Company's withdrawn debt and equity offering.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased from $3.8 million during the six months ended June
30, 2000 to $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001. An increase
in the Company's long-term debt contributed to the greater interest expense.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's revenues are derived from the sale of its crude oil and natural
gas production. In recent months, the prices for oil and gas have decreased;
however, they remain extremely volatile and sometimes experience large
fluctuations as a result of relatively small changes in supplies, weather
conditions, economic conditions and government actions. The Company enters into
derivative financial instruments to hedge oil and gas price risks for the
production volumes to which the hedge relates. The derivatives reduce the
Company's exposure on the hedged volumes to decreases in commodity prices and
limit the benefit the Company might otherwise have received from any increases
in commodity prices on the hedged volumes.

The Company also enters into price "collars" to reduce the risk of changes in
oil and gas prices. Under these arrangements, no payments are due by either
party so long as the market price is above the floor price set in the collar and
below the ceiling. If the price falls below the floor, the counter-party to the
collar pays the difference to the Company and if the price is above the ceiling,
the counter-party receives the difference from the Company. The Company enters
into these various agreements to reduce the effects of volatile oil and gas
prices and does not enter into hedge transactions for speculative purposes. See
Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the
Company's hedged position at June 30, 2001. There have been no significant
changes in market risks faced by the Company since the end of 2000.
