LEVERAGE AND DEBT SERVICE As of December 31, 1996, the Company's total long-term debt and stockholders' equity are approximately $54.1 million and $29.8 million, respectively. As a result of the Company's indebtedness: (i) the Company incurs significant interest expense and principal repayment obligations in connection with its outstanding indebtedness; (ii) the Company's ability to obtain additional financing in the future, as needed, may be limited; (iii) the Company's leveraged position and the covenants contained in certain of its debt agreements could limit the Company's ability to expand and compete; and (iv) the Company's substantial leverage may make it more vulnerable to economic downturns, limit its ability to withstand competitive pressures and reduce its flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions. The Company's ability to pay interest and principal on its outstanding indebtedness and to satisfy its other debt obligations depends upon its future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, certain of which are beyond its control. The Company anticipates that its operating cash flow, together with borrowings available under its $15 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with Internationale Nederlanden Capital (U.S.) Corporation ("ING Capital"), will be sufficient to meet its operating needs and to service its debt requirements as they become due. However, if the Company is unable to service its indebtedness, it will be forced to pursue one or more alternative strategies such as selling assets, curtailing its development drilling activities, restructuring or refinancing its indebtedness or seeking additional equity capital. There can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" ("MD&A"), in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1996 (the "1996 10-K"), incorporated herein by reference. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR UNDEVELOPED PROPERTIES As of December 31, 1996, approximately 69% of the Company's total proved reserves on a BOE basis were classified as proved undeveloped. Recovery of such reserves will require significant capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. Based on the Company's estimates, aggregate capital expenditures by the Company of approximately $64 million, including $59 million on the San Joaquin Basin properties, will be required to develop such undeveloped reserves, of which $18 million are expected to be incurred during 1997. The Company intends to finance the development of its properties out of cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, borrowings under the Credit Facility. There can be no assurance that the Company's estimates of capital expenditures will prove accurate, that such sources of financing will be sufficient to fully fund the Company's planned development activities or that the development activities will be either successful or completed in accordance with the Company's development schedule. Additionally, any decrease in oil and gas prices or any increase in the costs of development of the Company's properties could result in a significant reduction in the number of wells expected to be drilled. RISK OF EXPLORATORY DRILLING ACTIVITIES The ability of the Company to add resources in a cost-effective manner will be in part dependent upon the success of its exploratory drilling program. Although the Company has significant experience in the development and production of oil and natural gas, the Company has a limited history of conducting exploratory drilling. In that regard, the ability of the Company to pursue its exploratory drilling program is dependent on a number of factors, including (i) favorable results of 3-D seismic surveys, (ii) the availability of leases on favorable terms and permitting for the prospects, (iii) the availability of future capital resources by the Company and the other participants for the purchasing of leases and the drilling of prospects, (iv) the approval of other participants in the purchasing of leases and the drilling of wells on the prospects and (v) the economic conditions at the time of drilling, including the prevailing and anticipated prices for natural gas. Additionally, although the Company's prospects are located within geographic areas in which significant quantities or natural gas equivalents have been produced, the proximity to other successful exploratory or development wells provides no assurance that any particular well will be successful due to the complex faulting and fracturing of oil and gas formations and the inherent risks and uncertainties of exploratory drilling. Exploratory drilling is subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil and natural gas reservoirs will be encountered. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, including unexpected formation and drilling conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and 3 shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment. In addition, the Company's strategy of focusing on exploratory drilling for larger reserves using 3-D seismic and CAEX technology requires greater pre-drilling expenditures than alternative forms of traditional drilling strategies. Although the Company believes that its use of 3-D seismic and CAEX technology will increase the probability of success of its exploratory wells, and should reduce average finding costs through the elimination of prospects that might otherwise be drilled solely on the basis of 2-D seismic data and other traditional methods, unsuccessful wells are likely to occur and there can be no assurance as to the future success of the Company's drilling program, especially in light of the Company's limited exploratory drilling experience. See Items 1 and 2 in the 1996 10-K. HISTORY OF LOSSES For its fiscal years ended December 31, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company incurred operating losses (before dividends and accretion on preferred stock) of $1,461,000, $1,414,000, $1,041,000, $939,000, $4,618,000 and $1,798,000, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable in the future. See MD&A and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in the 1996 10-K, incorporated herein by reference. VOLATILITY OF OIL AND GAS PRICES AND MARKETS The Company's revenues and earnings are dependent upon prevailing prices for oil and gas. The prices for oil and gas historically have been volatile and are subject to wide fluctuations in response to changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainties and a variety of additional factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include the level of consumer product demand, weather conditions, domestic and foreign governmental regulation, political conditions in the Middle East, the foreign supply of oil and gas, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall oil and gas market conditions. It is impossible to predict future oil and gas price movements with any certainty. Although the Company hedges a substantial portion of its production which provides some protection from price declines, any substantial or extended decline in the price of oil and gas would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations, as well as reduce the amount of the Company's oil and gas that could be produced economically. The monthly average posted price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil (the "WTI price") varied during 1996 from a high of $23.38 per Bbl in December 1996, to a low of $17.20 per Bbl in February 1996. The monthly average price for 40(degree) gravity crude oil in the Lost Hills Field (the location of most of the Company's San Joaquin Basin properties) as stated in the Texaco Trading and Transportation Inc. Market Determined Crude Oil Price Bulletin varied during 1996 from a high of $23.39 per Bbl in December 1996 to a low of $17.29 per Bbl in February 1996. Market prices received for crude oil sold in California have in the recent past been generally lower than WTI prices for similar quality oil as a result of certain market and regulatory conditions peculiar to the California market, including (i) the lack of pipelines to transport large quantities of oil produced in California to other states which limits the ability of producers to respond to price imbalances between California and other domestic markets and (ii) fewer independent refiners in California than in other oil producing states which results in less competition among crude oil purchasers in California than in other domestic markets. The posted price for gas at Henry Hub, Louisiana ("Henry Hub price") varied during 1996 from a high of $3.88 per MMBtu in December 1996 to a low of $1.83 per MMBtu in October 1996. The Southern California border monthly average price for natural gas as stated in the Natural Gas Intelligence Gas Price Index varied during 1996 from a high of $3.70 per MMBtu in December 1996 to a low of $1.29 per MMBtu in May 1996. Due to fairly stable demand as a result of stable weather conditions in California, gas prices in California do not generally experience fluctuations during the winter and summer months as large as those experienced by Henry Hub prices. Declines in oil and gas prices, if sustained, could require a write down of the book value of the Company's oil and gas properties unless the Company has sufficient net additions in reserves and/or production to offset the decline in oil and gas prices. Such declines, if sustained, could also result in a reduction of the Company's borrowing base under its Credit Facility, requiring the Company to repay the amount by which outstanding advances exceed the redetermined borrowing base. RISKS OF FIXED PRICE SALES AND HEDGING CONTRACTS The Company manages the risk associated with fluctuations in the price of gas and to a lesser extent oil, primarily through certain fixed price sales and hedging contracts. The Company's price risk management strategy reduces the Company's sensitivity to changes in market prices of oil and gas, but is subject to a number of other risks. If the Company's reserves are not produced at the rates estimated by the Company due to inaccuracies in the reserve estimation process, operational difficulties or regulatory limitations, the Company would be required to satisfy its obligations under fixed price sales and hedging contracts on potentially unfavorable terms without the ability to hedge such risk through sales of 4 comparable quantities of its own production. Further, the terms under which the Company enters into fixed price sale and hedging contracts are based on assumptions and estimates of numerous factors such as cost of production and pipeline and other transaction costs to delivery points. Substantial variations between the assumptions and estimates used by the Company and actual results experienced could materially adversely affect the Company's anticipated profit margins and its ability to mange in the future the risk associated with fluctuations in oil and gas prices. Additionally, the fixed price sales and hedging contacts limit the benefits the Company will realize if actual prices rise above the contract prices. In addition, fixed price sales and hedging contracts are subject to the risk that the counterpart may prove unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under such contracts. Currently, an affiliate of ING Capital is the counterpart for a significant portion of the Company's hedging contracts. Although the Company has not experienced and does not anticipate significant nonperformance by counterparties, such significant nonperformance could have a material adverse financial effect on the Company. In 1996, the Company had approximately 51% of its oil production and approximately 56% of its gas production committed to sales and hedging contracts. RELIANCE ON ESTIMATES OF PROVED RESERVES There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and gas reserves, including many factors beyond the control of the Company. Certain events, including changes in oil and gas prices, production, acquisitions and future drilling and development, could result in increases or decreases in estimated proved quantities of oil and gas reserves. In addition, estimates of the Company's quantities of proved oil and gas reserves, future net revenues from proved reserves and the present value thereof are based on certain assumptions regarding future oil and gas prices, production levels and operating and development costs that may not prove to be correct. In particular, estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, future net revenues from proved reserves and the present value thereof for the Company's oil and gas properties as of December 31, 1996 included in the 1996 10-K are based on the assumption that future oil and gas prices remain the same as oil and gas prices at December 31, 1996. As of December 31, 1996, the average sales prices used for purposes of such estimates were $23.74 per Bbl of oil and $4.14 per Mcf of gas with respect to the San Joaquin Basin properties and $23.36 per Bbl of oil and $3.59 per Mcf of gas with respect to the Company's other properties in the aggregate. Average oil prices with respect to the San Joaquin Basin properties and the Company's other properties were, for the year ended December 31, 1996, higher than oil prices at December 31, 1996, with average and year-end oil prices realized by the Company being $20.30 per Bbl and $19.68 per Bbl, respectively. Average gas prices for the San Joaquin Basin properties and the Company's other properties were, for the year ended December 31, 1996, lower than those received at year-end 1996, with average and year-end gas prices realized by the Company being $1.98 per Mcf and $2.09 per Mcf, respectively. Also assumed is the Company's planned expenditures of approximately $64 million in future capital expenditures, including $59 million on the San Joaquin Basin properties, necessary to develop and realize the value of its proved undeveloped reserves. Any significant variance in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of reserves set forth herein. See MD&A. DEPENDENT ON LOCAL OPERATORS None of the Company's oil and gas properties are operated by the Company. As a result, the Company has limited control over the manner in which operations are conducted on such properties, including the safety and environmental standards used in connection therewith. Pursuant to the operating agreements governing operations on the properties in which the Company has an interest, the Company maintains significant influence or control over the nature and timing of exploration and development activities on the majority of its properties. Such agreements do not, however, allow the Company such influence or control with respect to a portion of its properties; in such cases, the operators of such properties generally have control with respect to the nature and timing of exploration or development activities. In such instances, the operators of such properties could undertake exploration or development projects at a time when the Company does not have the funds required to finance its share of the costs of such projects. In such event, pursuant to the operating agreements relating to properties in which the Company has an interest, the other parties to such agreements who fund their shares of the cost of such a project are generally entitled to receive all cash flow from such project, subject to rights of third party royalty or other interest owners, until they have recovered a multiple of the costs of such project (usually 300% to 400%) prior to the Company's receipt of any production or revenues from such project or, in the event drilling is necessary to maintain certain leasehold interests, the Company may be required to forfeit its interests in such projects. Conversely, the operators of such properties could refuse to initiate exploration or development projects, in which case the Company would be required to propose such activities and may be required to proceed with such activities at much higher levels of 5 participation than expected and without receiving any funding from the other interest owners, or the operators may initiate exploration or development projects on a slower schedule than that preferred by the Company. Any of these events could have a significant effect on the Company's anticipated exploration and development activities and financing thereof. See MD&A. OPERATING HAZARDS AND UNINSURED RISKS The Company's operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses to the Company due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage and suspension of operations. In accordance with customary industry practice, the Company is not fully insured against all risks incident to its business. Because of the nature of industry hazards, it is possible that liabilities for pollution and other damages arising from a major occurrence could exceed insurance coverage or policy limits. Any such liabilities could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. CERTAIN BUSINESS RISKS The Company intends to continue acquiring oil and gas properties. Although the Company performs a review of the properties to be acquired that it believes is consistent with industry practices, such reviews are inherently incomplete. Generally, it is not feasible to review in-depth every individual property involved in each acquisition. Ordinarily, the Company will focus its review efforts on the higher-valued properties and will sample the remainder. However, even an in-depth review of all properties and records may not necessarily reveal existing or potential problems nor will it permit a buyer to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess fully their deficiencies and capabilities. Inspections may not always be performed on every well, and environmental problems, such as ground water contamination, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken. Furthermore, the Company must rely on information, including financial, operating and geological information, provided by the seller of the properties without being able to verify fully all such information and without the benefit of knowing the history of operations of all such properties. In addition, a high degree of risk of loss of invested capital exists in almost all exploration and development activities which the Company undertakes. No assurance can be given that oil or gas will be discovered to replace reserves currently being developed, produced and sold, or that if oil or gas reserves are found, they will be of a sufficient quantity to enable the Company to recover the substantial sums of money incurred in their acquisition, discovery and development. Drilling activities are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or gas reservoirs will be encountered. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain. The Company's operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of numerous factors including title problems, weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment. The availability of a ready market for the Company's gas production depends on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the demand for and supply of natural gas, the proximity of gas reserves to pipelines, the capacity of such pipelines and government regulations. See MD&A and Items 1 and 2 in the 1996 10-K. DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL The success of the Company will depend almost entirely upon the ability of a small group of key executives to manage the business of the Company. Should one or more of these executives leave the Company or become unable to perform his duties, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to attract competent new management. The Company maintains a $10 million key man life insurance policy on Mark G. Harrington, the proceeds of which are payable to the Company. COMPETITION The acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties is a highly competitive business. Many companies and individuals are engaged in the business of acquiring interests in and developing onshore oil and gas properties in the United States. The industry is not dominated by any single competitor or a small number of competitors. The Company competes with major and independent oil and gas companies for the acquisition of desirable oil and gas properties, as well as for the equipment and labor required to operate and develop such properties. Many of these competitors have financial and other resources substantially in excess of those available to the Company. Such competitive disadvantages could adversely affect the Company's ability to acquire desirable properties or to develop existing properties. 6 GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION The Company's business is subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the exploration for and development and production of oil and gas, as well as environmental and safety matters. Such laws and regulations have generally become more stringent in recent years, often imposing greater liability on a larger number of potentially responsible parties. Because the requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with such requirements and their effect on the Company. See Item 1 of the 1996 10-K. POSSIBLE SALE OF COMPANY In March 1997, the Company announced that it had engaged a group of investment bankers to pursue a possible sale of the Company in order to maximize shareholder returns. Following the announcement, the market price of the Company's Common Stock quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market increased from $5.06 per share (the closing price on March 4, 1997, the day prior to the announcement) to a high of $6.88 per share on March 7, 1997; and on May 7, 1997, the quoted closing price was $6.06 per share. There can be no assurances that this process will, in fact, result in a sale of the Company. In the event that the Company is sold, there can be no assurances as to the amount or form of consideration that the Company's shareholders would receive in such a transaction or that the value of such consideration would be as high as the recent market prices for the Company's Common Stock. The Company intends to continue conducting its business without regard to any potential outcome of a proposed sale. THE COMPANY The Company's principal executive offices are located at 4400 Post Oak Park, Suite 2220, Houston, Texas 77027, and its telephone number at such address is (713) 961-1804.
