PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAGELLAN PETROLEUM CORPORATION September 30, 1997 Item 1. Financial Statements - Notes The information for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, is unaudited but includes all adjustments which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for those periods. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements include the Company's 50.7% owned subsidiary, Magellan Petroleum Australia Limited ("MPAL"). Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical in nature, are intended to be, and are hereby identified as "forward looking statements" for purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions readers that forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward looking statements. During fiscal 1997, the Company adopted the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas operations, therefore, the results of operations may vary materially from quarter to quarter. An active exploration program may result in greater exploration and dry holes costs. Under this method, the cost of drilling a dry hole is written off immediately. The Company had previously followed the full cost method of accounting whereby all of its exploratory and dry holes costs had been capitalized by country. These costs had been amortized over a period of years through the depletion deduction. Liquidity and Capital Resources Consolidated At September 30, 1997, the Company on a consolidated basis had approximately $14,711,000 of cash and securities. A summary of the major changes in cash and cash equivalents during the period is as follows: Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period $12,943,000 Cash provided by operations 1,557,000 Net additions to property and equipment (1,688,000) Other (242,000) ------------ Cash and cash equivalents at end of period $12,570,000 =========== PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAGELLAN PETROLEUM CORPORATION September 30, 1997 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd) As to the Company (unconsolidated) At September 30, 1997, Magellan Petroleum Corporation ("MPC"), on an unconsolidated basis, had working capital of approximately $2,758,000. MPC's normal annual operating budget is approximately $700,000 and its current cash position and its future dividends from MPAL should be adequate to meet its current cash requirements. During fiscal 1998, MPC has budgeted approximately $400,000 for oil and gas exploration. MPC also has available a $1.5 million bank line of credit. MPC has in the past invested and may in the future invest substantial portions of its available funds to maintain its majority interest in MPAL. During September 1997, MPAL announced that its Board of Directors had recommended a dividend of A.$.10 per share. MPC's share of this dividend is approximately $1,600,000 which will be added to the Company's working capital. The dividend was approved at MPAL's Annual General Meeting held on October 30, 1997 and is payable on November 25, 1997. As to MPAL At September 30, 1997, MPAL had working capital of approximately $10,049,000. MPAL has budgeted approximately $4.7 million for exploration in fiscal 1998. MPAL expects to fund its exploration and development costs through its cash flow from Australian operations, and, if necessary, any additional requirements from its A.$10 million bank line of credit. Results of Operations Three month period ended September 30, 1997 vs. September 30, 1996. The Company had consolidated net income of $69,863 for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to net income of $560,338 for the comparable 1996 period. The components of consolidated net income for the comparable periods were as follows: Three month period ended September 30, 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- MPC unconsolidated pretax loss $(224,481) $(219,957) MPC income tax (1,000) (2,206) Share of MPAL pretax income 422,136 1,170,671 Share of MPAL income tax provision (126,792) (388,170) ---------- ---------- Consolidated net income $69,863 $560,338 ======= ======== Net income per share $ - $.02 ==== ==== Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd) Revenues Oil sales decreased by 35% in the current quarter to $1,144,000 from $1,758,000 in 1996 because of a 1% decrease in oil prices and because of a 28% decrease in the number of units sold. The average value of the Australian dollar also decreased 7% during the 1997 period. Oil sales are expected to continue to decline unless additional development wells are drilled to maintain production levels. MPAL is dependent on the operator (65% control) to maintain field production. Oil unit sales in barrels ("bbls") and the average price per barrel sold during the periods indicated were as follows:
Three month period ended September 30, 1997 Sales 1996 Sales ----------------------------------- --------------------------------- Average price Average price bbls per bbl bbls per bbl Australia-Mereenie 70,851 A.$25.49 98,927 A.$25.75
Gas sales increased 4% to $2,883,000 in 1997 from $2,771,000 in 1996 primarily as a result of a 14% increase in the volumes of gas sold. The increase was partially offset because the average value of the Australian dollar decreased 7% during the 1997 period. Total gas volumes are expected to continue at least at current levels in the short term. The volumes in billion cubic feet ("bcf"), (before deducting royalties) and the average price of gas per thousand cubic feet ("mcf") sold during the periods indicated were as follows:
Three month period ended September 30, 1997 Sales 1996 Sales ------------------------------- ------------------------------- Average price Average price bcf per mcf bcf per mcf (A.$) Australia: Palm Valley Alice Springs contract .280 2.95 .232 2.94 Darwin contract .633 2.02 .377 2.02 Mereenie: Darwin contact .454 1.94 .626 2.17 Other .427 2.82 .338 2.69 ---- ---- Total 1.794 1.573 ===== =====
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd) Other production related revenues decreased 8% to $329,000 in 1997 compared to $357,000 in 1996. The average value of the Australian dollar decreased 7% during the 1997 period. Interest decreased 17% in 1997. The decrease from $244,000 in 1996 to $197,000 in 1997 resulted from the combination of less funds available for investment and lower interest rates. Costs and Expenses Production costs decreased 27% in 1997 to $934,000 from $1,285,000 in 1996. The decrease relates to a decrease in costs at Mereenie and Palm Valley. Exploration and dry hole costs totaled $1,603,000 in 1997 which is primarily the cost of drilling the Schilling-1 well offshore Western Australia which was plugged and abandoned. Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased 40% in 1997 to $521,000 from $866,000 in 1996. The decrease reflects the decrease in the number of units sold and the increase in gas reserves used to calculate depletion. Auditing, accounting and legal services decreased 7% in 1997 to $180,000 from $194,000 in 1996. Other administrative expenses increased 28% from $214,000 in 1996 to $273,000 in 1997. The primary reason for an increase is travel expenses and a decrease in the amount of overhead being charged to the Company's joint venture partners. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd) Income Taxes Income tax expense decreased from $768,000 in 1996 to $251,000 in 1997. The effective income tax rate for 1997 was 41% compared to 36% in 1996. The decrease in MPAL's 1997 income relative to 1996 increased the total effective tax rate. The components of tax income expense between MPC and MPAL were as follows: 1997 1996 -------- -------- MPC $ 1,000 $ 2,000 MPAL 250,000 766,000 -------- -------- Consolidated $251,000 $768,000 ======== ======== Exchange Effect The value of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar decreased to $.7258 at September 30, 1997 compared to a value of $.7538 at June 30, 1997. This resulted in a $897,000 charge to the foreign currency translation adjustments account for the three month period ended September 30, 1997. The 4% decrease in the value of the Australian dollar decreased the reported asset and liability amounts in the balance at September 30, 1997 from the June 30, 1997 amounts. The average exchange rate used to translate MPAL's operations in Australia was $.7355 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, which is a 7% decrease compared to the $.7887 rate for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
