AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Capco Energy, Inc. ("Capco" or the "Company") is an independent energy company engaged primarily in the acquisition, development, production for and the sale of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. Capco treats all operations as one segment of business. The Company's production activities are located in the United States and Canada. Foreign operations are not significant to either consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 2922 East Chapman, Suite 202, Orange, California. The Company was incorporated as Alfa Resources, Inc. a Colorado corporation on January 6, 1981. In November 1999, the Company amended it articles of incorporation to change its name from Alfa Resources, Inc. to Capco Energy, Inc. Effective December 31, 1999, Capco acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Capco Resource Corporation ("CRC") a corporation involved in oil and gas production in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition with CRC as the accounting acquirer. The financial statements presented include CRC at cost since January 19, 1999, CRC's inception, and Capco at fair market value as of December 31, 1999. BASIS OF PRESENTATION These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2000, filed with the Company's Form 10-KSB. Certain reclassifications for the prior year have been made to conform with current year presentation. 6 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capco and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, all references herein to Capco or the Company include the consolidated results. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. CONCENTRATION OF SALES AND PRODUCTS The Company's future financial condition and results of operations will depend upon prices received for its oil and natural gas and the costs of finding, acquiring, developing and producing reserves. Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond the Company's control. These factors include worldwide political instability (especially in the Middle East), the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the price of foreign imports, the level of consumer product demand and the price and availability of alternative fuels. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management used significant estimates in determining the carrying value of its oil and gas producing assets and the associated depreciation and depletion expense related to sales' volumes. The significant estimates included the use of proved oil and gas reserve volumes and the related present value of estimated future net revenues therefrom. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amounts owed for long-term debt also approximate fair value because interest rates and terms offered to the Company are at current market rates. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances have exceeded the FDIC insured levels at various times during the year. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited. 7 INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES For equity securities that the Company i) does not exercise control in the investee and ii) expects to divest within a short period of time, the Company accounts for the investment under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". For equity investments that the Company i) exercises control in the investee and ii) expects to hold for long term investment, the Company accounts for the investment under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 18 "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock". In accordance with FASB No. 115, equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as either trading or available-for-sale securities. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) are classified as trading securities and all other securities are classified as available-for-sale. Trading and available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value in the balance sheet. For trading securities any realized gains or losses and any unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations. For available-for-sale securities any realized gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations and any unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. In accordance with APB No. 18, under the equity method the Company records the initial investment at cost, then reduces it by dividends and increases or decreases it by the Company's proportionate share of the investee's net earnings or loss. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The Company follows the "full-cost" method of accounting for oil and gas property and equipment costs. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisitions, geological and geophysical services, drilling, completion, equipment, and certain general and administrative costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration, and development activities. General and administrative costs related to production and general overhead are expensed as incurred. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties, except in transactions that involve a significant amount of reserves. The proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties are generally treated as a reduction of oil and gas property costs. Fees from associated oil and gas exploration and development partnerships, if any, will be credited to oil and gas property costs to the extent they do not represent reimbursement of general and administrative expenses currently charged to expense. 8 In accordance with the full cost method accounting, future development, site restoration, and dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are estimated on a property-by-property basis based on current economic conditions and are amortized to expense as the Company's capitalized oil and gas property costs are amortized. Non-oil and gas producing properties and equipment are stated at cost; major renewals and improvements are charged to the property and equipment accounts; while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed currently. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to operations. COMMON STOCK During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company had the following equity transactions: Issued 12,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock for the relief of $6,250 of liabilities owned to a consultant; paid $108,138 and transferred an equity interest in CRL at a cost basis of $8,834 for the acquisition, and cancellation, of 143,717 shares of the Company's Common Stock; acquired for cancellation 640,217 shares of the Company's Common Stock from SEDCO, a related party, in exchange for an oil and gas property interest at a cost basis of $50,220, and for 51,600 shares of marketable securities owned by the Company with a current market value of $671,984, less indebtedness in the amount of $126,802 related to the marketable securities. DEPRECIATION AND DEPLETION The provision for depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties is computed on the unit-of-production method. Under this method, the Company computes the provision by multiplying the total unamortized costs of oil and gas properties including future development, site restoration, and dismantlement and abandonment costs, but excluding costs of unproved properties by an overall rate determined by dividing the physical units of oil and gas produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil and gas reserves. This calculation is done on a country-by-country basis for those countries with oil and gas production. The cost of unevaluated properties not being amortized, to the extent there is such a cost, is assessed quarterly to determine whether the value has been impaired below the capitalized cost. The cost of any impaired property is transferred to the balance of oil and gas properties being amortized. The costs associated with unevaluated properties relate to projects which were undergoing exploration or development activities or in which the Company intends to commence such activities in the future. The Company will begin to amortize these costs when proved reserves are established or impairment is determined. Management believes no such impairment exists at March 31, 2001. 9 At the end of each reporting period, the unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, is limited to the sum of the estimated future net revenues from proved properties using current prices, discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, adjusted for related income tax effects ("Ceiling Limitation"). The calculation of the ceiling limitation and provision for depreciation and depletion is based on estimates of proved reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proven reserves and in projecting the future rates of production, timing, and plan of development. The accuracy of any reserves estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing, and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. Depreciation for non-oil and gas properties is recorded on the straight-line method at rates based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years of the assets. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", Long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product is delivered. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with APB No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Under APB 25, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to employee stock options, as no options are granted at a price below market price on the date of grant. 10 In 1996, SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", became effective for the Company. SFAS No. 123, which prescribes the recognition of compensation expense based on the fair value of options on the grant date, allows companies to continue applying APB 25 if certain pro forma disclosures are made assuming hypothetical fair value method, for which the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For non-employee stock based compensation the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant. For stock-based awards the value is based on the market value for the stock on the date of grant and if the stock has restrictions as to transferability a discount is provided for lack of tradability. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES The Company expenses environmental expenditures related to existing conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no future benefit is discernible. Expenditures, which extend the life of the related property or mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination, are capitalized. The Company determines and records its liability on a site-by-site basis at the time when it is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company's estimated liability is recorded net of the anticipated participation of other potentially responsible parties in those instances where it is probable that such parties are legally responsible and financially capable of paying their respective shares of the relevant costs. INCOME TAXES Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company has other comprehensive income relating to foreign currency translations and unrecognized holding gains from marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. 11 EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company uses SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company's weighted average shares outstanding for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, would have increased for 1,400,000 and 204,444 shares of Common Stock, respectively, if associated stock options would have had a dilutive effect. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at their fair value. This statement, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for financial statements for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows, as it currently does not engage in any derivative or hedging activities. CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Although Company environmental policies and practices are designed to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, future developments and increasingly stringent regulations could require the Company to make additional unforeseen environmental expenditures. Environmental accruals are routinely reviewed on an interim basis as events and developments warrant. 12 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 27, 2001, the Company closed on the previously announced acquisition of all of the existing subsidiaries and related businesses of Meteor Industries, Inc. ("Seller"), a distributor of refined petroleum products. The purchase price for the acquisition consisted of $5,500,000 paid in the form of $4,697,501 cash, of which the Company borrowed $1,700,000 and sold $2,997,501 of marketable securities; $302,499 of Meteor Industries, Inc. common stock; and $500,000 in a note payable to the Seller. The Company has reported the acquisition in a Form 8-K filing. In April 2001, the Company completed the refinancing of the $1,000,000 note payable that was past due at March 31, 2001. The new credit facility bears interest at the rate of 10%, has a maturity date of September 30, 2001, and is collateralized by the Company's interest in producing oil and gas properties. The credit facility includes the grant of an option to the lender, exerciseable until April 1, 2003, to acquire 300,000 shares of the Company's equity holdings in Chaparral Resources, Inc. at the Company's original cost, plus 10% annual interest to the date of exercise. 13 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This report contains 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 that include, among others, statements concerning the benefits expected to result from Capco's prior acquisitions of CRC, CRL and CAM, and the acquisition closed in April 2001 of the existing subsidiaries and related businesses of Meteor Industries, Inc., such benefits including synergies in the form of increased revenues, decreased expenses and avoiding expenses and expenditures that are expected to be realized by Capco as a result of the acquisitions, and other statements of: expectations, anticipations, beliefs, estimations, projections, and other similar matters that are not historical facts, including such matters as: future capital, development and exploration expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), drilling of wells, reserve estimates (including estimates of future net revenues associated with such reserves and the present value of such future net revenues), future production of oil and gas, repayment of debt, business strategies, and expansion and growth of business operations. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the management of Capco in light of past experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors that the management of Capco believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Capco cautions the reader that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those associated with: the financial environment, the regulatory environment, and trend projections, that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those risks and uncertainties identified below. Significant factors that could prevent Capco from achieving its stated goals include: the failure by Capco to integrate the respective operations of Capco and its acquisitions or to achieve the synergies expected from the acquisitions, declines in the market prices for oil and gas, increase in refined product prices, and adverse changes in the regulatory environment affecting Capco. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this report should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued by Capco or persons acting on its or their behalf. Capco undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 14 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 2001 the Company had working capital of $4,385,272. This working capital is principally due to marketable securities reduced by short-term debt on those securities. Management believes this working capital is sufficient to meet its needs for operating cash flow for the next year. Management plans to sell some of its marketable securities to pay its liabilities and to fund the cost of additional acquisitions. In April 2001, the Company closed on the acquisition of the subsidiaries and related businesses of Meteor Industries, Inc. The purchase price for the acquisition consisted of $5,500,000 paid in the form of $4,697,501 cash, of which the Company borrowed $1,700,000 and sold $2,997,501 of marketable securities; $302,499 of Meteor Industries, Inc. common stock; and $500,000 in a note payable to the Seller. Cash flows used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001, and March 31, 2000, were $867,858 and $599,266, respectively. The increase in cash used during the current period is principally due to decreases in accounts payable and increases in other current assets. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001, were $1,117,130 compared to a use of $425,166 in the prior year. This increase is principally due to sales of marketable securities offset by purchases of property. Cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001, were $623,269 compared to an inflow of $979,049 in the prior year. This decrease is principally due to purchases and cancellations of Common Stock and principal payments on long-term debt. Capco sells most of its oil production to certain major oil companies. However, in the event these purchasers discontinued oil purchases, Capco has made contact with other purchasers who would purchase the oil. The Company is responsible for any contamination of land it owns or leases. Capco maintains insurance coverage that it believes is customary in the industry, although it is not fully insured against all environmental risks. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO MARCH 31, 2000 Capco's revenues from its oil and gas activities were $ 412,726 in 2001 compared to $85,940 in 2000. This increase in revenue is primarily due to production from properties acquired in late 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. Capco's cost of sales was $206,738 in 2001 compared to $199,642 in 2000. This increase is primarily due to increased production resulting from the acquisitions in late 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. Cost of sales in 2000 included expenditures in the amount of $54,392 attributable to well workovers and remedial operations. Selling, general and administrative costs were $393,183 in 2001 compared to 15 $190,517 in 2000. Personnel costs increased $90,384 as the Company hired additional employees due to the increase in business activity. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $91,317 due to an increase in production quantities and capital costs recorded by the Company in its full cost pool for oil and gas properties. Total other income (expense) was income of $1,774,556 in 2001 compared to expense of $573,997 in 2000. The change is principally due to gains on sale of marketable securities in the current period offset by increased interest expense due to borrowings. The Company's proportionate share of operating losses reported by its equity investments decreased from $519,034 in 2000 to $77,750 in 2001. Net operating revenues from Capco's oil and gas production are very sensitive to changes in the price of oil; thus it is difficult for management to predict whether or not the Company will be profitable in the future. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN PRICES Changes in prices during the past few years have been a significant factor in the oil and gas industry. The price received for the oil and gas produced by Capco has fluctuated significantly during the last year. Changes in the price that Capco receives for its oil and gas is set by market forces beyond Capco's control. That uncertainty in oil and gas prices makes it more difficult for a company like Capco to increase its oil and gas asset bases and become a significant participant in the oil and gas industry.
