Financial Statements: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The accompanying consolidated financial statements of PrimeEnergy Corporation (&#147;PEC&#148;), with
the exception of the consolidated balance sheet at December&nbsp;31, 2009, have not been audited by independent public accountants. In accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations, the accompanying interim financial statements do not include
all disclosures presented in annual financial statements and the reader should refer to the Company&#146;s Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 filed April&nbsp;15, 2010. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at June&nbsp;30, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the six and three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 and 2009.&nbsp;All
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.&nbsp;Certain amounts presented in prior period financial statements have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of annual results. For purposes of disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, subsequent events have been evaluated through August 16, 2010, the date the statements were issued. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Recently Adopted Accounting Standards </I></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), Oil and Gas Reserve
Estimation and Disclosures, which aligns the FASB&#146;s oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements with the requirements in SEC Release No.&nbsp;33-8955, &#147;Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting Requirements&#148; (the
&#147;Release&#148;) issued in December 2008. The ASU is effective for reporting periods ending on or after December&nbsp;31, 2009. The provisions include changes to pricing used to estimate reserves (with the use of an average of the
first-day-of-the-month price for the 12-month period, rather than a year-end price for determining whether reserves can be produced economically), an expanded definition of oil and gas producing activities to include nontraditional resources, and
amended definitions of key terms such as &#147;reliable technology&#148; and &#147;reasonable certainty&#148; which are used in estimating proved oil and gas reserve quantities. The primary objectives of the revisions are to increase the
transparency and information value of reserve disclosures and improve comparability among oil and gas companies. The adoption of these requirements did not significantly impact the reported value of the Company&#146;s reserves or its financial
statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In February 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on subsequent events that removes the requirement for an
SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective upon issuance. The adoption of the subsequent events standard had no impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In January 2010, the FASB issued changes clarifying
existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and requiring gross presentation of activities within the reconciliation for the period, whereby entities must present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and
settlements. The update also added a new requirement to disclose fair value transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and describe the reasons for the transfers. These changes were effective for financial statements issued for the first interim or
annual reporting period beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2009, except for gross presentation of the Level 3 reconciliation for the period, which will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2010. There was no
impact on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of the adoption of the required provisions. </FONT></P>

consist primarily of oil and gas interests. The Company purchased such interests in an amount totaling $1,000 and $147,000 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. </FONT></P>

cash primarily pertaining to oil and gas revenue payments. There were corresponding accounts payable recorded at June&nbsp;30, 2010 and December&nbsp;31, 2009 for these liabilities. Both the restricted cash and the accounts payable are classified as

restated credit agreement between Compass Bank as agent and a syndicated group of lenders. The Company is party to a revolving line of credit and letter of credit facility of up to $250 million. This facility has a maturity date of July&nbsp;30,
2014. The determination of the borrowing base is made by the lenders taking into consideration the estimated value of PEC&#146;s oil and gas properties in accordance with the lenders&#146; customary practices for oil and gas loans. This process
involves reviewing PEC&#146;s estimated proved reserves and their valuation. The borrowing base is re-determined semi-annually, and the available borrowing amount could be increased or decreased as a result of such redetermination. In addition, PEC
and the lenders each have at their discretion the right to request the borrowing base be re-determined with a maximum of one such request each year. A revision to PEC&#146;s reserves may prompt such a request on the part of the lenders, which could
possibly result in a reduction in the borrowing base and availability under the credit facility. At any time if the sum of the outstanding borrowings and letter of credit exposures exceed the applicable portion of the borrowing base, PEC would be
required to repay the excess amount within a prescribed period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

minimum current ratio, total indebtedness to EBITDAX (earnings before depreciation, depletion, amortization, taxes, interest expense and exploration costs) ratio and interest coverage ratio, as defined, and restrictions are placed on the payment of
dividends, the amount of treasury stock the Company may purchase, commodity hedge agreements, and loans and investments in its consolidated subsidiaries and limited partnerships. The credit facility is collateralized by the mortgaged properties and
any other property including interests of the Company&#146;s limited partnerships and any other property that was considered in determining the borrowing base in effect. The Company is required to mortgage, and grant a security interest in,
consolidated proved oil and gas properties. The Borrowing base as of the closing date was $100 million, and commencing on the fifteenth day of December and continuing through the commitment termination date, the amount of the borrowing base in
effect is to be reduced by the monthly reduction amount which was at $2 million as of the closing date. The borrowings may be placed in a base rate loan or LIBO rate loan. The rates applied may be a combination of the agent defined base rate, a flat
rate of 2% to 3%, federal fund rates, or Libo rates and are adjusted by applicable margins tied to the Company&#146;s borrowing base utilization. The applicable margins vary between 1.25% and 3.25% the higher the utilization of the borrowings.

effect which included a reduction to the availability of the borrowing base which began June&nbsp;1, 2010 in the amount of $2 million. As of June&nbsp;30, 2010 the offshore facilities borrowing base was $4 million with a monthly reduction of $500
thousand which began in August 2009. The Company&#146;s borrowing rates in both facilities at June&nbsp;30, 2010 have a floor of 2% plus applicable margin rates that vary from 3% to 5% depending on which facility, the value of current borrowings and
the actual available borrowing base. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">At June&nbsp;30, 2010, the outstanding balance of the Company&#146;s bank debt was $79
million under the onshore credit facility, with an additional availability of $19 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.20%. Under the offshore credit facility the outstanding balance was $4 million, with no further availability, at a
weighted average interest rate of 6.01%. Total outstanding bank debt was $83 million at June&nbsp;30, 2010. The combined weighted average interest rates paid on outstanding bank borrowings subject to interest at the bank&#146;s base rate and on
outstanding bank borrowings bearing interest based upon the LIBO rate were 6.19% during 2010 as compared to 4.47&nbsp;% during 2009. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company entered into interest rate hedge agreements to help manage interest rate exposure. These contracts include interest rate
swaps. Interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The Company entered into interest swap agreements for a period of
two years, which commenced in April 2008, related to $60 million of Company bank debt resulting in a fixed rate of 2.375% plus the Company&#146;s current applicable margin. The underlying debt contracts above were re-priced quarterly based upon the
three-month LIBO rates, the Company&#146;s floor of 2% and the applicable margin per the onshore credit facility. These interest swap agreements expired in April 2010, and they have not been replaced. </FONT></P>

with an availability of $50 million. The private lender has specific collateral pledged under a separate credit agreement. The private lender is controlled by a director of the Company. Effective June&nbsp;30, 2009, the private lender agreed to
release the pledged collateral under this credit facility in favor of the offshore credit facility in exchange for a second lien position on all of the assets of the offshore subsidiary and a pledge from PEC to pay the outstanding balance under the
facility in full after PEC&#146;s bank debt is paid off. PEC further agreed it will not secure debt in excess of $112 million under such credit facility without prior consent of the private lender. This facility was amended on July&nbsp;21, 2010 and
will mature on November&nbsp;1, 2014. The facility termination will be accelerated if there is a change in control or management of PrimeEnergy Corporation; borrowings bear interest at a rate of 10%&nbsp;per annum. The private lender is entitled to
additional consideration of Company stock based upon a percentage of the outstanding balance if by the last day of each calendar year commencing with December&nbsp;30, 2011 the loan is outstanding. As of June&nbsp;30, 2010 advances from this
facility amounted to $20 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive life of wells and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligation.
Revisions to the asset retirement obligation are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and accretion of discount. Because of the subjectivity
of assumptions and the relatively long life of most of the Company&#146;s wells, the costs to ultimately retire the wells may vary significantly from previous estimates. </FONT></P>

required to provide greater transparency about how and why the entity uses derivative instruments, how the instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and how the instruments and related hedged items affect the financial position, results

considers periodically the Company&#146;s exposure to cash flow variability resulting from the commodity price changes and interest rate fluctuations. Futures, swaps and options are used to manage the Company&#146;s exposure to commodity price risk
inherent in the Company&#146;s oil and gas production operations. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its commodity based derivatives. The application of hedge accounting for commodities was discontinued for periods after
July&nbsp;1, 2009. As a result, both realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative instruments are recognized in earnings. If the derivatives previously reported as cash flow hedges had losses or gains not yet settled, these
items would be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income until settlement occurs and reclassified appropriately from accumulated other comprehensive income into the statement of operations. </FONT></P>

believe our balanced portfolio of assets and our ongoing hedging program position us well for both the current commodity price environment and future potential upside as we develop our attractive resource opportunities. Our primary sources of
liquidity are cash generated from our operations and our credit facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company attempts to assume the position of operator in all
acquisitions of producing properties. The Company will continue to evaluate prospects for leasehold acquisitions and for exploration and development operations in areas in which it owns interests and is actively pursuing the acquisition of producing
properties. In order to diversify and broaden its asset base, the Company will consider acquiring the assets or stock in other entities and companies in the oil and gas business. The main objective of the Company in making any such acquisitions will
be to acquire income producing assets so as to increase the Company&#146;s net worth and increase the Company&#146;s oil and gas reserve base. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our cash flows depend on many factors, including the price of oil and gas, the success of our acquisition and drilling activities and the operational
performance of our producing properties. We use derivative instruments to manage our commodity price risk. This practice may prevent us from receiving the full advantage of increases in oil and gas prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in
the derivative agreements and subjects us to the credit risk of the counterparties to such agreements. Since all of our derivative contracts are accounted for under mark-to-market accounting, we expect continued volatility in gains and losses on
mark-to-market derivative contracts in our consolidated income statement as changes occur in the NYMEX price indices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">RECENT ACTIVITIES
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In July 2010 the Company entered into a joint development agreement with a Korean consortium to develop oil properties in West Texas. This
agreement provides for the drilling of 24 wells (10 net) in the first phase with the option to commence a second phase drilling an additional 10 net wells based on the results of the phase one wells. As of Aug 12th, fourteen of the phase one wells
are in various stages of drilling and completion including five wells which are on line and producing. The Company believes the relationship with the joint venture partners may have a significant impact on the growth of the Company activities.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In July 2010 the Company successfully completed the amendment and restatement of its $250,000,000 credit facility with a current borrowing
base of $100,000,000. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which was engaged in deepwater Gulf of Mexico drilling operations
for another operator, sank after an explosion and fire. In response to this event and the resulting oil spill, certain federal agencies and governmental officials ordered a six-month moratorium on the drilling of new deepwater wells and a suspension
of permitted wells currently being drilled in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The moratorium is scheduled to expire November 30, 2010. This event and its aftermath have created uncertainty with regard to offshore exploration and production activity,
including future regulatory requirements, operational delays and cost increases. This may create some opportunities for acquisitions as other companies leave the Gulf of Mexico due to the perceived tightening of the regulatory environment.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cash flow provided by operations for the six month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 was $22,794,000. Excluding the effects of significant unforeseen
expenses or other income, our cash flow from operations fluctuates primarily because of variations in oil and gas production and prices or changes in working capital accounts. Our oil and gas production will vary based on actual well performance but
may be curtailed due to factors beyond our control. Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico may shut down our production for the duration of the storm&#146;s presence in the Gulf or damage production facilities so that we cannot produce from a particular
property for an extended amount of time. In addition, downstream activities on major pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico can also cause us to shut-in production for various lengths of time. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our realized oil and gas prices vary due to world political events, supply and demand of products, product storage levels, and weather patterns. We sell
the vast majority of our production at spot market prices. Accordingly, product price volatility will affect our cash flow from operations. To mitigate price volatility we sometimes lock in prices for some portion of our production through the use
of financial instruments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s activities include development and exploratory drilling. The Company&#146;s strategy is to
develop a balanced portfolio of drilling prospects that includes lower risk wells with a high probability of success and higher risk wells with greater economic potential. The Company plans on drilling in excess of 40 wells (20 net), mainly in the
Permian Basin in West Texas. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s strategy in 2010 is to continue to reduce its outstanding debt which decreased by
approximately $10,000,000 in 2009 and $10,955,000 in the first six months of 2010. This decreased leveraged position will better provide the Company the ability to participate in a significant acquisition, should the opportunity arise this year.

program. Spending under these programs for the first six months of 2009 was $415,000. The Company expects to continue spending under the programs in 2010. During the first six months of 2010 the Company spent $1,948,000 under these programs.

the Company to increase its oil and gas reserves and production through the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. The Company also continues to explore and consider opportunities to further expand its oilfield servicing revenues
through additional investment in field service equipment. However, the majority of the Company&#146;s capital spending is discretionary, and the ultimate level of expenditures will be dependent on the Company&#146;s assessment of the oil and gas

service expense for the six months of 2010 decreased $1,671,000 or 20.37% compared to 2009. The changes in field service income are a direct result of changes in utilization of equipment and rates charged to customers. Workover rig services
represent the bulk of our operation, and those rates all decreased in our most active districts. Utilization in South Texas and Oklahoma decreased and was offset by an increase in West Texas. The most significant costs included in field service
