ESCO  TRANSPORTATION  CO.
Notes  to  the  Financial  Statements
March  31,  2000  (Unaudited)


Note  1  -  Interim  Financial  Statements
------------------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of ESCO Transportation Co., (the
"Company")  have  been  prepared  pursuant  to  the rules and regulations of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and  footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed
or  omitted  pursuant  to  those  rules  and  regulations.  However, the Company
believes  the  disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information
presented  not  misleading.  The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of
management,  all  material  adjustments  (which  include  only  normal recurring
adjustments)  necessary  to  present fairly the Company's financial position and
results  of  operations.

Note  2  -  Organization
------------------------

The Company was incorporated under the name of Power Oil Company in 1916 in West
Virginia.  In  1992,  the  Company was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation.
The  Company  changed  its  name from "Power Oil Company to "ESCO Transportation
Co."  in  1994.

ESCO  Transportation  maintains  two  divisions  with  distinct  transportation
services  offered  by  each.  The  Company's Intermodal division primarily hauls
container  and  piggyback  shipments  between shipping locations, railroads, and
ports  plus  it  operates a container yard in Memphis, Tennessee.  This division
operates  out  of  facilities  in  Houston, Texas; Ontario, California; Memphis,
Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Stockton, California.  The
Company  also  maintains  an  Over-The-Road  division  that  performs  long haul
services  for  numerous customers within the United States.  The main office for
this  division is located in Springdale, Arkansas and has an expansion office in
Selma,  Alabama  which  opened  in  May 2000.  The Company's corporate office is
located  in  Houston,  Texas.

Note  3  -  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies
----------------------------------------------------------

A.   Basis  of  Accounting

     Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual  method of  accounting  for
     financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.

B.   Use  of  Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that affect reported amounts and related  disclosures.  Actual
     results  could differ from these  estimates.  Management  believes that the
     estimates are reasonable.

Notes  to  the  Financial  Statements
March  31,  2000  (Unaudited)


Note  3  -  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies  (Continued)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

C.   Revenue  Recognition

     Revenue  and  direct  costs  are recognized when the shipment is completed.

D.   Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents

     For purposes of the  statements  of cash flows,  the Company  considers all
     cash on hand, cash in bank (demand deposits),  savings accounts,  cash held
     in brokerage  accounts and highly liquid debt instruments  purchased with a
     maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

E.   Property  and  Equipment

     Property and  equipment  are carried at cost.  Depreciation  for  financial
     reporting  purposes has been computed on the straight-line  method over the
     estimated  useful  lives of the  assets  which  range  from three to twenty
     years.

     Accelerated   methods  of   depreciation   are  used  for   computation  of
     depreciation expense for income tax reporting purposes.

F.   Oil  and  Gas  Properties

     The  Company  accounts  for its oil and  gas  exploration  and  development
     activities  using the  successful  efforts  method.  Under  this  method of
     accounting,  exploratory  drilling  costs which result in the  discovery of
     proved reserves are capitalized.  All other  exploratory  costs,  including
     geological and geophysical  costs, are expensed when incurred.  Development
     costs,  including  development of dry holes, are capitalized when incurred.
     The Company incurred no exploration and development  costs during the three
     months ended March 31, 2000.

     Depletion of  capitalized  costs on producing  properties  is computed on a
     property-by-property   basis  utilizing  the   unit-of-production   method.
     Depletion  expense was $1,496 and $1,494 for the three  months  ended March
     31, 2000 and 1999 respectively. The Company's total capitalized costs as of
     March 31, 2000 and 1999 were $21,248 and $27,224 respectively.

     Lease   acquisition   costs  are  capitalized   when  incurred.   Leasehold
     improvements  are  recognized  through a charge to  operations if the lease
     expires or management decides to abandon the Company's interest.

Notes  to  the  Financial  Statements

Note  3  -  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies  (Continued)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

F.   Oil  and  Gas  Properties  (Continued)

     When assets are retired,  abandoned  or otherwise  disposed of, the related
     costs and accumulated  depreciation are removed from the accounts, and gain
     or loss is included in income.

G.   Income  Taxes

     The Company uses the liability  method of accounting for income taxes under
     which  deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are  recognized for deductible
     temporary  differences.  Temporary  differences are the differences between
     the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  their tax  basis.
     Deferred  tax assets are  reduced by a  valuation  allowance  when,  in the
     opinion of management,  it is more likely than not that some portion or all
     of the deferred tax assets and  liabilities are adjusted for the effects of
     changes  in tax laws and  rates on the  date of  enactment.  For the  three
     months ended March 31, 2000,  net operating  loss benefits were offset by a
     valuation allowance.

H.   Net  Income  Per  Share

     Net income  per common  share is based on the  weighted  average  number of
     shares  outstanding  during the year.  The Company  declared a one-for-four
     reverse stock split in 1994.  The Company  declared a  one-for-ten  forward
     stock split in 1996.  All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to
     reflect the stock splits.

I.   Concentration  of  Credit  Risk

     Financial   instruments   that   potentially   subject   the   Company   to
     concentrations  of  credit  risk  consist  principally  of  trade  accounts
     receivable.  In the normal  course of business  the Company  grants  credit
     without  collateral to customers.  Consequently,  the Company's  ability to
     collect the amounts due from customers is affected by economic conditions.

J.   Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments

     The Company has a number of financial  instruments,  none of which are held
     for  trading  purposes.  The Company  estimates  that the fair value of all
     financial instruments at March 31, 2000 does not differ materially from the
     aggregate  carrying  values of its  financial  instruments  recorded in the
     accompanying  balance  sheet.  The  estimated  fair value amounts have been
     determined  by  the  Company  using   available   market   information  and
     appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgement is necessarily
     required  in  interpreting  market data to develop  the  estimates  of fair
     value, and,  accordingly,  the estimates are not necessarily  indicative of
     the amounts that the Company could realize in the current market exchange.

J.   Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments  (Continued)
     ----------------------------------------------------

     At March 31, 2000,  the Company had  $1,501,595  in notes  receivable  from
     stockholders.  Management  believes the fair value of the notes  receivable
     from the  stockholders is less than its carrying value;  however,  the fair
     value is not estimable.

Note  6  -  Obligations  Under  Capital  Leases
-----------------------------------------------

The  Company  is  lessee  of trailers and communication equipment which are held
under  capital  leases  expiring  in  various years.  The assets and liabilities
under  capital  leases  are  recorded  at  the lower of the present value of the
minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset.  Assets are amortized (or
depreciated)  over  the  longer of the lease terms or their estimated productive
lives.  Amortization  (or  depreciation)  of  assets  under  capital  leases  is
included  in  depreciation expense for 2000 and 1999.  Following is a summary of
property  held  under  capital  leases.

                                                3/31/00          12/31/99

                                             ============     =============

Interest  rates  on  capitalized  leases vary from 8.7% to 12.2% and are imputed
based  upon  the  lower  of  the  Company's  incremental  borrowing  rate at the
inception  of  the  lease  or  the  lessor's  implicit  rate  of  return.

Note  7  -  Amounts  Due  to  Factor
------------------------------------

Pursuant  to  a  factoring  agreement,  the  Company factors all of its accounts
receivable  under  an  agreement  with Compass Bank doing business as Commercial
Billing Service.  Interest is paid on the total outstanding balance at a rate of
12.5%  per  annum.

As  of April 20, 2000, the Company renegotiated its agreement with the factoring
company  (see  Note  P  in  the  year-end  audited  financial  statements  for a
description  of  the revised agreement with the factoring company.)  The revised
agreement  is  also  accounted  for as a secured borrowing rather than a sale of
receivables.

ITEM  2.    Management's  Discussion,  Analysis,  and  Plan  of  Operation


OVERVIEW
--------

The quarter ended March 31, 2000 was a progressive quarter for the Company.  The
Company  accomplished  several milestones that management had been executing for
several  months.  In  this  quarter,  management  closed  on  the transaction to
acquire  Quantum  Transportation  Company  which  expanded  its  operations  to
Minneapolis,  Minnesota  and Ripon, California.  During this quarter, management
also completed its 2000 five-year business plan and began implementing this plan
through  the  execution of its Year 2000 budget.  As in the past, the budget for
2000  has  been  based upon individual terminal responsibility and each terminal
manager  is in charge of their cost center with incentives for accomplishing the
goals  for  the  year.

The  Company finished the first quarter with a loss of $(37,490).  This loss was
attributed  to operations in the Company's over-the-road Springdale division and
management  is  further  evaluating  how  to  isolate  and  correct  the  issues
attributed  to the loss. Management is evaluating the cost benefit of separating
this  division  into  a  separate  subsidiary  and  poising  it  for  sale  or
restructuring.  The  other  divisions  and/or  segments  of  the  Company  were
profitable  or  operated  within budget constraints and management anticipates a
profitable  operation  during  2000  in  accordance  with  its  budgeted  plan.

In  addition  to  the  first quarter of 2000, management for ESCO entered into a
management agreement with Kiser, Inc. (Kiser), a Mississippi corporation located
in  Gulf  Port, Mississippi and several related entities to manage Kiser and its
related  companies for a limited period of time, the sole purpose of which is to
evaluate  the  feasibility  of acquiring and completing an agreement and plan of
merger  between  Kiser  and  ESCO.  Under  this  agreement,  the Company assumed
responsibilities  of  various  day  to  day  operations  but  assumed  no
responsibilities  for  liability  of  other obligations of Kiser and the related
companies.  (Also  see comments regarding this contract in "Subsequent Events.")

During the first quarter of 2000, management is also actively pursuing potential
investors  to  re-capitalize  the  Company.  Management is seeking $5,000,000 in
additional  equity  and/or subordinated debt to help improve the working capital
ratio  and  debt-to-equity  ratio.

OPERATIONS
----------

As  stated  above,  the  Company  operated  at a loss of $(37,490) for the first
quarter  which,  although is below budget, is a substantial improvement over the
1999 operations.  Freight revenue exceeded budget by $927,000 or 8% and reflects
a  66%  increase  over  the  1999  revenue.  A  substantial part of the increase
relates  to  revenues  generated  from the new Minneapolis, Minnesota and Ripon,
California  offices acquired through Quantum plus the operation of the Company's
Fort  Smith  location  which operated for a full quarter during the three months
ended  March  31,  2000.  Throughout  the Company's operation, revenue has shown
strong  growth  through  increased  business  in  all  regions.

ITEM  2.    Management's Discussion, Analysis, and Plan of Operation (Continued)


OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)
-----------------------

The  Company's  cash  flow  during the first quarter continued to be limited and
100%  of  the  Company's  receivables  were  factored through Commercial Billing
Services  and  Compass  Bank.  During  the  first  quarter  of 2000, the Company
renegotiated its factoring agreement with the bank as stated in our annual audit
report.  Subsequent  to  issuance  of  the  report, management and the bank have
agreed  to  cap  the line to $9,800,000 and the Company has been able to operate
within  the  limits  of  the  line  of  credit  provided  by  the  bank.

The  Company's  operating profits increased from $185,000 in 1999 to $323,000 in
2000  for  a  75% increase in profits before interest expense.  Interest expense
increased  by  approximately  20%  over the same period in 1999 primarily due to
increase  in  the  factoring  line  and the reduction of long-term debt at lower
interest  rates.  Operating  and  administrative  expenses increased by 53% from
1999  primarily attributable to the new location added during the first quarter.
However,  as  a  percentage  of  revenue,  operating  and  administrative  costs
decreased  from  24%  to  22%  for  the  same  period  in  1999.

During  the  first quarter, collections have continued to be a high priority and
management  has  implemented  revised  collection  procedures  to  decentralize
collections  from  the  corporate  office  to  individual  terminal  offices.
Management  anticipates  this  will  facilitate  collections  and  location  of
paperwork  and  support  needed  by  customers  and  expects  this  to  improve
collections  and  reduce  the  total  outstanding  balance  due to the factoring
company  which  will  help  reduce  interest  costs.


YEAR  2000  ISSUE
-----------------

The  Year  2000 issue is the result of date coding within computer programs that
were  written  using  just  two  digits  rather  than  four digits to define the
applicable  year.  If  not  corrected, these date codes could cause computers to
fail to calculate dates beyond 2000 and as a result, computer applications could
fail  or  create  erroneous  results  by  or  at  the  Year  2000.

The  Company,  together  with  outside vendors engaged by the Company, have made
assessments  of  the  Company's  potential  Year  2000  exposure  related to its
computerized  information  systems.  Because  of  the  nature  of  the Company's
operations,  many  of  its  computerized information systems will be required to
process information which includes post-year 2000 date coding well in advance of
January 1, 2000.  The Company has substantially completed its overall assessment
of Year 2000 issues associated with its current systems and is currently engaged
in  efforts  to  remediate  potential  year  2000 exposure with respect to those
systems,  including the identification, selection, and implementation of a major
new  Year  2000 compliant software system.  Following the remediation phase, the
Company  engages  in  testing  of the applicable systems in order to verify Year
2000  compliance.  The  Company  utilizes  a  variety of remediation and testing
methods  in  connection  with  its  Year  2000  compliance  efforts.  Management
believes  that  the Company's compliance plan is progressing such that Year 2000
exposures  will  be mitigated prior to any critical dates.  To date, no material
information  technology projects of the Company have been delayed as a result of
the  Company's  Year  2000  compliance  efforts.

YEAR  2000  ISSUE  (CONTINUED)
------------------------------

The  Company  has  also  made  assessments  of  the potential Year 2000 exposure
associated  with  its  embedded  technology  systems, such as telephone systems,
freight  hauling tracking systems, and accounting and payment systems.  Based on
such assessments, the Company does not believe that it has significant Year 2000
exposure  with  respect  to  such  embedded  technology  systems.

The  Company  is  currently  involved  in  discussion  with important suppliers,
business partners, customers, and other third parties to determine the extend to
which  the Company may be vulnerable to the failure of these parties to identify
and  correct their own Year 2000 issues.  In the ongoing acquisition of software
and  hardware  installations,  the  Company  generally requires that its vendors
certify  the  Year  2000  compliance of acquired products.  The Company believes
that  its  own  software  vendors  are  Year  2000  compliant.

The Company is utilizing and will continue to utilize both internal and external
resources to reprogram or replace its computer systems such that the systems can
be  expected  to be Year 2000 compliant in advance of respective critical dates.
During  the  three  months ended March 31, 2000, the Company capitalized $29,310
with  respect  to  new  software purchases and installations which are Year 2000
compliant.  The  total  estimated  remaining  cost  of  modification of existing
software  and  new  Year 2000 compliant systems is $300,000 which includes costs
attributable  to the planned purchase and implementation of a new accounting and
dispatch system.  The cost of this new software is being capitalized.  The level
of  expense  anticipated  in connection with Year 2000 issues is not expected to
have  a material effect on the Company's result of operations.  The costs of the
Company's  Year  2000  compliance  efforts are expected to be funded out of both
operating  cash  flow  and  outside  financing.

During  the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company continued to implement its
Year  2000  plan.  The  progress made was in accordance with the plan, including
progress  on the new system which is expected to go online on or before December
2000.  There  was  no  new information which came to management's attention that
would  indicate  that  the plan should be altered significantly or that the plan
would  not  be  successful  in  the  time  frame  prescribed  by  the  plan.

The  dates  of  expected  completion  and  the  costs of the Company's Year 2000
remediation  efforts  are  based  on  management's  estimates, which are derived
utilizing  assumptions  of  future events, including the availability of certain
resources,  third  party  remediation plans, and other factors.  There can be no
guarantee  that  these  estimates will be achieved, and if the actual timing and
costs  for  the  Company's  Year 2000 remediation program differ materially from
those anticipated, the Company's financial results and financial condition could
be  significantly  affected.  Additionally,  despite testing by the Company, the
Company's  systems may contain undetected errors or defects associated with Year
2000 issues for remediation or to complete its Year 2000 remediation and testing
efforts  prior  to  respective  critical  dates, as well as the failure of third
parties  with  whom  the  Company  has  an  important  relationship to identify,
remediate,  and  test  their  own  Year 2000 issues and the resulting disruption
which  could  occur  in  the  Company's  systems and could have material adverse
effects  on  the  Company's  business,  results  of  operations,  cash flow, and
financial  condition.

CORPORATE  FILINGS
------------------

The  Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in January 2000
to  clarify  the  authorized capital stock in the Articles; 20,000,000 shares of
common  and  15,000,000  of  preferred.

SUBSEQUENT  EVENTS
------------------

Subsequent  to  March  31, 2000, the Company entered into an informal management
agreement  with  Fisher  Trucking (Fisher) in Selma, Alabama, for the Company to
assist  Fisher  in managing its operations with the intent of acquisition during
2000.  Management  anticipates  signing  a  letter  of  intent during the second
quarter  if  the  due  diligence  is  positive  and will proceed to complete the
transaction.

As  stated in the overview, the Company entered into a management agreement with
Kiser,  Inc.  and  related  entities  for the purpose of managing Kiser with the
intent of evaluating the feasibility of acquiring Kiser in an agreement and plan
of merger transaction.   Management determined the acquisition was not practical
for  the  Company  at  this  time  and,  on  May  23, 2000, terminated the Kiser
management  agreement.
