The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of this statement. 5 APACHE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) These financial statements have been prepared by Apache Corporation (Apache or the Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the summary of significant accounting policies and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K. On December 18, 2002, the Company declared a five percent stock dividend payable on April 2, 2003, to shareholders of record on March 12, 2003. Quarterly share and per share information for 2002 have been restated to reflect this stock dividend. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentations. 1. ACQUISITIONS On January 13, 2003, Apache announced that it had entered into agreements to purchase producing properties in the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico from subsidiaries of BP p.l.c. (referred to collectively as "BP") for $1.3 billion, with $670 million allocated to the Gulf of Mexico properties and the remaining $630 million allocated to properties in the North Sea. The properties included estimated proved reserves of 233.2 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe), 147.6 MMboe located in the North Sea with the balance in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico properties were subject to normal closing adjustments and preferential rights by third parties. Both purchase agreements were effective as of January 1, 2003. As is customary, Apache assumed BP's abandonment obligation for the properties, which was considered in determining the purchase price. The purchase price for both BP transactions was paid in cash funded by the sale of Apache common stock and borrowings under existing lines of credit and commercial paper. The offering of Apache's common stock provided net proceeds of approximately $554 million. Apache and BP closed the transaction for the Gulf of Mexico properties on March 13, 2003, which included BP's interest in 56 producing fields, including 104 blocks. Upon closing, Apache paid a purchase price, adjusted for normal closing and preferential rights exercised by third parties, of $509 million. The Gulf of Mexico purchase price and reserves were reduced by $73 million and 9.6 MMboe, respectively, primarily for the exercise of preferential rights by third parties. As of January 1, 2003, the Gulf of Mexico properties acquired from BP had estimated proved reserves of 76 MMboe. The acquisition of the U.K. North Sea properties closed on April 2, 2003, at which time Apache paid a purchase price, adjusted for normal closing and working capital adjustments, of $630 million. As of January 1, 2003, the North Sea properties acquired from BP had estimated proved reserves of 147.6 MMboe. The acquisition of the North Sea properties includes a 96 percent interest in the Forties Field and establishes a new core area for the Company. In conjunction with the Forties acquisition, Apache may be required to issue a letter of credit to BP to cover the present value of related asset retirement obligations if the rating of our senior unsecured debt is lowered by both Moody's and Standard and Poor's from the Company's current ratings of A- and A3, respectively. Should this occur, the initial letter of credit amount would be 175 million British pounds. Apache has agreed to sell all of the North Sea production from those properties over the next two years to BP at a combination of fixed and market sensitive prices pursuant to a contract entered into in connection with the North Sea purchase agreement. 6 The following unaudited pro forma information shows the effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations as if the Gulf of Mexico portion of the BP acquisition occurred on January 1 of each period presented. The pro forma information is based in part on data provided by BP and on numerous assumptions. The information is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

-------------- (1) Pro forma shares assume the issuance of 9.9 million shares as of the beginning of each period presented. 2. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Apache uses a variety of strategies to manage its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. As established by the Company's hedging policy, Apache primarily enters into cash flow hedges in connection with certain acquisitions to protect the economics of the transaction. The success of these acquisitions is significantly influenced by Apache's ability to achieve targeted production at forecasted prices. These hedges effectively reduce price risk on a portion of the production from the acquisitions. During the first quarter of 2003, in conjunction with the BP acquisitions and during the fourth quarter of 2002, in conjunction with the South Louisiana properties acquisition, Apache entered into, and designated as cash flow hedges, natural gas and crude oil fixed-price swaps and natural gas option collars. These positions were entered into in accordance with the Company's hedging policy and involved several counterparties which are rated A+ or better. As of March 31, 2003, the outstanding positions of our cash flow hedges were as follows:
PRODUCTION TOTAL VOLUMES WEIGHTED AVERAGE FAIR VALUE ASSET/ PERIOD INSTRUMENT TYPE (MMBtu/Bbl) FLOOR/CEILING LIABILITY --------------- ------------------------ ----------------- ------------------- ------------------- (In thousands) 2003 Collars 13,750,000 $ 3.50 / 6.09 $ (3,142) Gas Fixed-Price Swap 55,000,000 5.18 2,010 Oil Fixed-Price Swap 13,750,000 26.59 (12,903) 2004 Collars 18,300,000 3.25 / 5.81 (4,330) Gas Fixed-Price Swap 51,240,000 4.52 (5,444) Oil Fixed-Price Swap 1,550,000 26.59 1,319 2005 Collars 9,050,000 3.25 / 5.20 (2,407)
In addition to the fixed-price swaps and options, Apache entered into a separate crude oil physical sales contract with BP. The sales contract qualifies for the normal purchase and sale exemption of SFAS No. 133 and, therefore, the Company has designated and accounted for the contract under the accrual method. As of March 31, 2003, the outstanding terms of the contract were as follows:
CRUDE OIL FIXED-PRICE PHYSICAL SALES CONTRACT (BRENT) ----------------------------------------------------- PRODUCTION TOTAL VOLUMES AVERAGE PERIOD (BARRELS) FIXED PRICE ----------- ------------- ----------- 2003 6,875,000 $ 25.32 2004 14,175,000 22.24
7 A reconciliation of the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of consolidated shareholders' equity related to Apache's derivative activities is presented in the table below (in thousands):
GROSS AFTER-TAX ------------ ------------ Unrealized loss on derivatives at December 31, 2002.................. $ (7,141) $ (4,186) Net losses realized into earnings.................................... 40,445 25,221 Net change in derivative fair value.................................. (60,929) (38,080) ------------ ------------ Unrealized loss on derivatives at March 31, 2003..................... $ (27,625) $ (17,045) ============ ============
The unrealized loss in other comprehensive income of $27.6 million is expected to be realized in future earnings contemporaneously with the related sales of natural gas and crude oil production applicable to specific hedges. Losses of $19.7 million ($12.1 million after tax) are expected to be realized over the next twelve months; however, these amounts could vary materially as a result of changes in market conditions. There was no material ineffectiveness associated with the hedges during the period. 3. CAPITAL STOCK On January 22, 2003, the Company completed a public offering of 9.9 million shares of Apache common stock, adjusted for the five percent common stock dividend, including underwriters' over-allotment option, for net proceeds of approximately $554 million. The proceeds were used toward the purchase of Apache's acquisition from BP of producing properties in the U.K. North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. 4. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE A reconciliation of the components of basic and diluted net income per common share is presented in the table below:

--------- (1) The effect of the Series C Preferred Stock in 2002 was not included in the computation of diluted net income per share, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. 8 5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION At March 31, 2003, the Company had several stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Under this method, the Company records no compensation expense for stock options granted when the exercise price of those options is equal to or greater than the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, unless the awards are subsequently modified. The following table illustrates the effect on income attributable to common stock and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended, to stock-based employee compensation for the Company's option and performance plans.

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123, as amended, in this pro forma disclosure should not be interpreted as being indicative of future effects. SFAS No. 123, as amended, does not apply to awards prior to 1995, and the extent and timing of additional future awards cannot be predicted. On May 1, 2003, the Company issued stock appreciation rights to certain employees in lieu of stock options. In future periods, the Company will record compensation expense in respect to those stock appreciation rights as the price of the Company's common stock fluctuates. 6. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION The following table provides supplemental disclosure of cash flow information:

The Company evaluates segment performance based on results from oil and gas sales and lease level expenses. Apache's reportable segments are managed separately because of their geographic locations.

----------- (1) Operating income (loss) consists of oil and gas production revenues less depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation accretion, international impairments, lease operating costs, gathering and transportation costs, and severance and other taxes. 8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which resulted in an increase to net oil and gas properties of $410 million and additional liabilities related to asset retirement obligations of $369 million. These entries reflect the asset retirement obligation of Apache had the provisions of SFAS No. 143 been applied since inception. This resulted in a non-cash cumulative-effect increase to earnings of $27 million ($41 million pretax). 10 The following table describes all changes to the Company's asset retirement obligation liability since adoption (in thousands): Asset retirement obligation upon adoption on January 1, 2003......... $ 368,537 Liabilities incurred................................................. 74,030 Liabilities settled.................................................. (4,337) Accretion expense.................................................... 5,313 Revisions and foreign currency fluctuation........................... 6,497 ------- Asset retirement obligation at March 31, 2003........................ $ 450,040 =========
Liabilities incurred during the period primarily relate to obligations assumed in connection with the BP Gulf of Mexico property acquisition. Liabilities settled during the period primarily relate to individually immaterial properties plugged and abandoned or sold during the period. Prior to adoption of this statement, such obligations were accrued ratably over the productive lives of the assets through its depreciation, depletion and amortization for oil and gas properties; therefore, had SFAS No. 143 not been adopted, net income during the current period would not have been materially different. In addition, the net income impact of applying SFAS No. 143 on the comparable period in 2002 would not have resulted in a material difference, however, the liability as of January 1, 2002 would have been approximately $334 million. 9. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION Apache Finance Pty Ltd. (Apache Finance Australia) and Apache Finance Canada Corporation (Apache Finance Canada) are subsidiaries of Apache, that have issuances of publicly traded securities and require the following condensed consolidating financial statements be provided as an alternative to filing separate financial statements.

17 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Apache reported record financial results for the quarter. Led by solid production and high commodity prices, we reported record first-quarter income attributable to common stock of $338 million, including the $27 million cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle regarding asset retirement obligations (see Footnote 8). We also reported record net cash provided by operating activities of $538 million for the quarter. Following are additional highlights for the first three months of 2003: o Oil and gas production revenues increased 84 percent over the prior-year first quarter to a record $975 million. o First-quarter production remained steady with 55 percent of our equivalent production coming from outside the U.S., continuing a multi-year trend to broaden geographic diversification. o On January 13, 2003, we announced the acquisition of $1.3 billion (subject to normal closing adjustments and exercise of preferential rights by third parties) in properties from BP (see Footnote 1), Apache's largest acquisition to date. We closed the Gulf of Mexico portion of the transaction on March 13, 2003 and the U.K. North Sea (Forties Field) portion on April 2, 2003. The North Sea assets provide Apache with a new core area. o On January 22, 2003, in conjunction with the BP transaction, we completed a public offering of 9.9 million shares of common stock, adjusted for the five percent common stock dividend, raising net proceeds of $554 million. o After announcing the BP transaction, Moody's, Standard and Poor's, and Fitch rating agencies reaffirmed Apache's single-A credit ratings on senior unsecured long-term debt. We are encouraged by the outlook for the remainder of the year. While we have seen some pullback in commodity prices since quarter-end, the overall outlook remains relatively strong. With additional production from the BP acquisition and first production expected during the third quarter from the Zhao Dong development in China, we should see production growth in 2003. The conditions that generated our first-quarter record results, coupled with our equity offering, have enabled us to maintain the financial flexibility necessary to act when opportunities arise. We are positioned to take advantage of an acquisition environment that appears favorable, as major integrated companies shed non-core assets. While the first quarter proved to be an active one for the Company, the balance of the year holds a multitude of challenges and opportunities. 18 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues The table below presents oil and gas production revenues, production and average prices received from sales of natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids.

19 Natural Gas Revenues The Company's natural gas production declined 3 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d), which reduced first-quarter natural gas revenues by $2 million. Production in the U.S. climbed 12 MMcf/d, as the Gulf Coast region's 22 MMcf/d increase more than offset a 10 MMcf/d decline in the Central region. Production in the Gulf Coast region benefited from a full quarter of production from properties acquired in South Louisiana, 18 days of production from the Gulf of Mexico properties acquired from BP and additional production from a successful recompletion program. These increases offset natural declines in mature fields and downtime associated with well performance. New discoveries in the Central region, particularly the Loper field, partially offset natural declines in mature fields. One of Australia's contracts with a Perth gas distribution company expired in October 2002, resulting in 19 MMcf/d of lower production. Rising natural gas prices contributed $296 million to first-quarter natural gas revenues. Correspondingly, the Company has seen a rise in oil and gas revenue receivables. Apache uses a variety of strategies to manage its exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices, including fixed-price physical contracts and derivatives. Approximately 11 percent of both our first quarter 2003 and first quarter 2002 domestic natural gas production were subject to long-term fixed-price physical contracts. We continue to amortize the unrealized gains and losses of derivative positions closed in October and November 2001, which were negligible in the first quarter of 2003. The following table shows the impact on average prices of each of these items:

Crude Oil Revenues The Company's oil production declined 341 barrels per day (b/d), which reduced first-quarter crude oil revenues by $1 million. Production growth in the Gulf Coast region, up 2,377 b/d, and Egypt, up 1,332 b/d, was offset by 2,502 b/d and 871 b/d declines in Australia and the Central region, respectively. The Gulf Coast region's growth is attributable to the South Louisiana and BP acquisitions discussed above. Egypt saw production growth in several concessions. The declines in Australia and the Central region were distributed among numerous fields. The 49 percent increase in oil price contributed $145 million to crude oil revenues. Correspondingly, the Company has seen a rise in oil and gas revenue receivables. Apache also manages its exposure to fluctuations in crude oil prices using derivatives. We continue to amortize the unrealized gains and losses over the original production life of derivative positions closed in October and November 2001. The following table shows the impact on prices of each of these items.

20 Operating Expenses The table below presents a detail of our expenses.
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, ----------------------------------------- 2003 2002 ---------------- --------------- (In millions) Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A): Oil and gas property and equipment.................. $ 198 $ 197 Other assets........................................ 16 14 Asset retirement obligation accretion................. 5 - International impairments............................. - 5 Lease operating costs (LOE)........................... 134 113 Gathering and transportation costs.................... 12 8 Severance and other taxes............................. 25 14 General and administrative expense (G&A).............. 28 25 Financing costs, net.................................. 26 26 ---------------- --------------- Total....................................... $ 444 $ 402 ================ ===============
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Apache's full-cost DD&A expense is driven by many factors including certain costs incurred in the exploration, development, and acquisition of producing reserves, production levels, estimates of proved reserve quantities and future development costs. On an equivalent barrel basis (Boe), full-cost DD&A expense increased $.07 from $6.24 in the first quarter of 2002 to $6.31 in 2003. The worldwide rate was driven up by an increase in Australia's rate. Costs incurred for several long-lead development projects coupled with recent reserve additions at higher than historical costs caused the rate increase in Australia. Lease Operating Costs LOE increased $22 million from last year's first quarter driven by increases in North America. Acquisitions in Canada and the U.S. in the latter half of last year and the close of the acquisition of the Gulf of Mexico properties from BP contributed to the increase on an absolute basis. The rate increased $.72 per Boe compared to the prior year quarter. Higher commodity prices increased the cost of power, fuel and ad valorem and property taxes in North America. The Company also increased workover activity in the U.S., Canada and Egypt. Gathering and Transportation Costs Gathering and transportation costs include amounts paid by Apache to third-parties to transport oil and gas to a purchaser-specified delivery point. Such costs vary based on the volume and distance shipped, and the fee charged by the transporter, which may be price sensitive. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company incurred $4 million more costs than in the comparable 2002 quarter. Severance and Other Taxes Severance and other taxes, which generally are based on a percentage of oil and gas production revenues, increased $10 million from the first quarter of 2002. 21 General and Administrative Expense The Company's first-quarter 2003 G&A costs were $2 million, $.09 per boe, higher than the year-ago quarter. The increase in related to higher overall insurance costs following the events of September 11, 2001 and higher retirement costs. OIL AND GAS CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

CAPITAL RESOURCES Apache's primary cash needs are for exploration, development and acquisition of oil and gas properties, operating expenses, repayment of principal and interest on outstanding debt and payment of dividends. The Company funds its exploration and development activities primarily through internally generated cash flows. Apache budgets capital expenditures based upon projected cash flows and routinely adjusts its capital expenditures in response to changes in oil and natural gas prices and corresponding changes in cash flow. The Company cannot accurately predict future oil and gas prices. Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Apache's net cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2003 totaled $538 million, an increase of 162 percent from $205 million in the first three months of 2002. This increase reflects the impact of higher prices on oil and gas production revenues. Preferred Interests of Subsidiaries During 2001, several of our subsidiaries issued a total of $443 million ($441 million, net of issuance costs) of preferred stock and limited partner interests to unrelated institutional investors. These funds were used to pay down debt which increased Apache's available borrowing capacity. We pay a weighted average return to the investors of 123 basis points above the prevailing LIBOR interest rate. These subsidiaries are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. For the first quarter of 2003, the subsidiaries paid $3 million to investors, which is reflected as Preferred Interests of Subsidiaries on the Statement of Consolidated Operations. 22 LIQUIDITY The Company had $40 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand at March 31, 2003, down from $52 million at December 31, 2002. Apache's ratio of current assets to current liabilities at March 31, 2003 was 1.37 compared to 1.44 at December 31, 2002. On January 22, 2003, the Company completed a public offering of 9.9 million shares of Apache common stock, adjusted for the five percent common stock dividend, including underwriters' over-allotment option, for net proceeds of approximately $554 million. The proceeds were used toward the purchase of Apache's acquisition of producing properties in the U.K. North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico from BP. Apache believes that cash on hand, net cash generated from operations, short-term investments, and unused committed borrowing capacity under its $1.5 billion global credit facility will be adequate to satisfy future financial obligations and liquidity needs. The global credit facility includes a $750 million 364-day U.S. credit facility which we expect to extend on the same terms for an additional one-year period at the end of May. As of March 31, 2003, Apache's available borrowing capacity under its global credit facility was $1.5 billion. Occasionally, the Company accesses capital markets to fund acquisitions, repay debt, and enhance future liquidity. On May 8, 2003, we priced a private offering of $350 million of 4.375 percent, 12-year, senior unsecured notes. The notes are to be issued by Apache Finance Canada Corporation, one of our subsidiaries, and guaranteed by us. We expect the sale of the notes to close on May 15, 2003. FUTURE TRENDS Our objective is to build a company of lasting value by pursuing profitable growth through a combination of drilling and acquisitions. Our investment decisions are subjected to strict rate of return criteria and generally fall in the categories identified below, depending on which phase of the price and cost cycle we may be in. Those categories include: - exploiting our existing property base; - acquiring properties to which we can add value; and - drilling high-potential exploration prospects. Exploiting Existing Asset Base We seek to maximize the value of our existing asset base by increasing production and reserves while reducing operating costs per unit. In order to achieve these objectives, we actively pursue production enhancement opportunities such as workovers, recompletions and moderate risk drilling, while divesting marginal and non-strategic properties and identifying other activities to reduce costs. Given the significant acquisitions and discoveries over the last few years, including the recent properties acquired from BP, we have an abundant inventory of exploitation opportunities. Acquiring Properties to Which We Can Add Value We seek to purchase reserves at appropriate prices by generally avoiding auction processes, where we are competing against other buyers, and attempting to time our acquisitions to avoid the peak of the price cycle. Our aim is to follow each acquisition with a cycle of reserve enhancement, property consolidation and cash flow acceleration, 23 facilitating asset growth and debt reduction. The acquisition environment appears to be swinging our way as major integrated companies shed non-core assets. Investing in High-Potential Exploration Prospects We seek to concentrate our exploratory investments in a select number of international areas and to become one of the dominant operators in those regions. We believe that these investments, although higher-risk, offer potential for attractive investment returns and significant reserve additions. Our international investments and exploration activities are a significant component of our long-term growth strategy. They complement our domestic operations, which are more development oriented. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Major market risk exposure continues to be the pricing applicable to our oil and gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot prices applicable to our United States and Canadian natural gas production. Historically, prices received for oil and gas production have been volatile and unpredictable. Apache sells all of its Egyptian crude oil and natural gas to the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) for U.S. dollars. Weak economic conditions in Egypt continue to impact the timeliness of receipts from EGPC; however, the situation has not deteriorated since year-end and Apache continues to receive payments. U.S. and Canadian energy markets continue to evolve into a single energy market. In light of this ongoing transformation, we adopted the U.S. dollar as our functional currency in Canada, effective October 1, 2002. The U.S. dollar is now the functional currency for all of our foreign operations. The information set forth under "Commodity Risk," "Interest Rate Risk" and "Foreign Currency Risk" in Item 7A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, is incorporated herein by reference. Information about market risks for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 does not differ materially from our 2002 10-K disclosure except as noted below. The Company considers its interest rate risk exposure to be minimal as a result of fixing interest rates on approximately 95 percent of the Company's debt. At March 31, 2003, total debt included $102 million of floating-rate debt. As a result, Apache's annual interest costs in 2003 will fluctuate based on short-term interest rates on approximately five percent of its total debt outstanding at March 31, 2003. Additionally, our preferred interests of subsidiaries of $437 million is subject to fluctuations in short-term interest rates. The impact on annual cash flow of a 10 percent change in the floating interest rate, including our preferred interests in subsidiaries, (approximately 25 basis points) would be approximately $1.4 million. At March 31, 2003, the Company had open natural gas derivative positions with a fair value of $(13.3) million. A 10 percent increase in natural gas prices would change the fair value by $(59.3) million. A 10 percent decrease in prices would change the fair value by $58.8 million. The Company also had open oil price swap positions with a fair value of $(11.6) million. A 10 percent increase in oil prices would change the fair value by $(50.7) million. A 10 percent decrease in oil prices would change the fair value by $50.7 million. Notional volumes associated with the Company's derivative contracts are shown in Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements. ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Apache's certifying officers evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures within the last 90 days preceding the date of this report. Based on that review and as of the date of that evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls were found to be adequate, providing effective means to insure that we timely and accurately disclose the information we are required to disclose under applicable laws and regulations. Also, we made no significant changes in internal controls or any other factors that could affect our internal controls since our most recent internal controls evaluation. 24 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK Certain statements in this report, including statements of the future plans, objectives, and expected performance of the Company, are forward-looking statements that are dependent upon certain events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside the Company's control, and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Some of these include, but are not limited to, the market prices of oil and gas, economic and competitive conditions, inflation rates, legislative and regulatory changes, financial market conditions, political and economic uncertainties of foreign governments, future business decisions, and other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. The total amount or timing of actual future production may vary significantly from reserves and production estimates. The drilling of exploratory wells can involve significant risks, including those related to timing, success rates and cost overruns. Lease and rig availability, complex geology and other factors can affect these risks. Although Apache may make use of futures contracts, swaps, options and fixed-price physical contracts to mitigate risk, fluctuations in oil and gas prices, or a prolonged continuation of low prices, may adversely affect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 25 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
