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

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The financial information presented as of any date other than December
         31, has been prepared from the books of Callon Petroleum Company (The
         "Company") 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 is required to be adopted by the Company
         beginning no later than January 1, 2003. The Company has not yet
         determined timing or 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 and warrants
         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 quarter ended September 30,
         2000 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 nine months ended September 30, 2000 and for the three and the
         nine months ended September 30, 2001 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

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 $351,000 related to these financial instruments was
         recognized as additional oil and gas revenue in the first nine months
         of 2001 and $2.8 million was recognized as a reduction of oil and gas
         revenue in the first nine months of 2000.

         These 2001 contracts, in effect at September 30, 2001, are for gas
         volumes of 400,000 Mcf for the month of October 2001 at a ceiling price
         of $5.50 and floor price of $4.44. The Company had no open crude oil
         contracts at September 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 approximately 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

                                       7



         $3.8 million. In the first nine 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 $10.4 million. Recorded in the
         balance sheet is a $10.2 million derivative asset representing the fair
         market value of the derivative financial instruments at September 30,
         2001, of which approximately $8.5 million is classified as a current
         asset.

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 existing deepwater discoveries. The warrants and the overriding
         royalty interest will be earned by the lender based on the ratio of the
         amount of the loan proceeds advanced to the total loan facility amount.
         The senior notes will mature March 31, 2005 and contain restrictions on
         certain types of future indebtedness.

         The 10.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 15, 2002 have been
         classified as a current liability.


5.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         The first nine 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 nine months ended September
30, 2001 decreased by $5.0 million and net cash flows from operations before
working capital changes totaled $32.8 million. Net capital expenditures from the
cash flow statement for the period


                                       9


totaled $84.1 million. These funds were primarily expended in exploration,
drilling and completion of oil and gas properties.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had working capital of $1.5 million,
excluding current maturities of long-term debt.

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 second 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. The warrants and the overriding royalty interest will
be earned by the lender based on the ratio of the amount of the loan proceeds
advanced to the total loan facility amount. 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. The Company is currently evaluating options on
refinancing the senior subordinated notes due 2002.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures for exploration and development costs related to oil and
gas properties totaled approximately $84 million in the first nine months of
2001. The Company incurred approximately $55 million in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf
area. 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 nine months of 2001 and
incurred $13.2 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 $9.4 million for the first nine 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 $31
million in capital expenditures for the remainder of


                                       10



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 $13 million of
additional development costs for production facilities at the Company's Medusa
discovery.

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

Oil and Gas Production and Revenues

Total oil and gas revenues decreased 23% from $16.0 million in the third quarter
of 2000 to $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2001. Both oil and gas prices
declined when compared to the same period in 2000. Total production for the
third quarter of 2001 decreased by 13% versus the third quarter of 2000.

Gas production during the third quarter of 2001 totaled 3.3 billion cubic feet
and generated $11.0 million in revenues compared to 4.0 billion cubic feet and
$14.3 million in revenues during the same period in 2000. The average sales
price for the third quarter of 2001 averaged $3.38 per thousand cubic feet
compared to $3.63 per thousand cubic feet at this time last year. The Company's
third quarter 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 and Chandeleur
Block 40. 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 third quarter of 2001 totaled 76,000 barrels and
generated $1.8 million in revenues compared to 56,000 barrels and $1.6 million
in revenues for the same period in 2000. Average oil prices received in the
third quarter of 2001 were $24.28 compared to $29.37 in 2000. The increase in
production was primarily due to an increase in oil production at Main Pass 36
and the addition of oil production at South Marsh Island 261.

Lease Operating Expenses

Lease operating expenses, including severance taxes, for the three-month period
ending September 30, 2001 were $3.2 million compared to $2.3 million for the
same period in 2000. The increase was attributable to higher operating costs at
South Marsh Island 261 and at Mobile Block 864. 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 September 30, 2001.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three months ending September
30, 2001 and 2000 were $4.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively. This
increase is primarily due to a higher average rate in the third quarter of 2001
reflecting an increase in capitalized cost.



                                       12



General and Administrative

General and administrative expense decreased $149,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2000.
This decrease was due primarily to an increase in direct costs capitalized
associated with development of the Company's deepwater discoveries.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased from $2.1 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2000 to $3.5 million during the three months ended September 30,
2001. This is a result of an increase in the Company's long-term debt as well as
higher interest rates associated with additional debt incurred in 2001.


COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000.

Oil and Gas Production and Revenues

Total oil and gas revenues increased 25% from $39.7 million in the first nine
months of 2000 to $49.6 million in the first nine months of 2001. Gas prices
were higher while oil prices declined when compared to the same period in 2000.
Total production for the first nine months of 2001 decreased by 5% versus the
first nine months of 2000.

Gas production during the first nine months of 2001 totaled 10.2 billion cubic
feet and generated $45.1 million in revenues compared to 11.0 billion cubic feet
and $34.8 million in revenues during the same period in 2000. The average sales
price for the first nine months of 2001 averaged $4.41 per thousand cubic feet
compared to $3.16 per thousand cubic feet at this time last year. The Company's
gas production decreased 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 nine months of 2001 totaled 196,000 barrels and
generated $4.9 million in revenues compared to 186,000 barrels and $5.1 million
in revenues for the same period in 2000. Average oil prices received in the
first nine months of 2001 were $25.04 compared to $27.42 in 2000. The increase
in production was primarily due to an increase in oil production at Main Pass 36
and the addition of oil production at South Marsh Island 261.

Lease Operating Expenses

Lease operating expenses, including severance taxes, for the nine month period
ending September 30, 2001 were $9.0 million compared to $6.4 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 nine
months of lease operating expenses and higher operating expenses associated with
increased production at Mobile Block 864. 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
nine months ended September 30, 2001.


                                       13


Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the nine months ending September
30, 2001 and 2000 were $14.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively. This
increase is primarily due to a higher average rate in the first nine months of
2001 reflecting an increase in capitalized costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased to $3.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $3.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. This increase was due primarily to expenses incurred in the
second quarter of 2001 related to the Company's withdrawn debt and equity
offering.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased from $5.9 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 to $8.7 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2001. This is a result of an increase in the Company's long-term debt and higher
interest rate associated with additional debt incurred in 2001.


                                       14



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 September 30, 2001. There have been no significant
changes in market risks faced by the Company since the end of 2000.
