Notes to Financial Statements 1. The interim financial data is unaudited; however, in our opinion, it includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the SEC's rules and regulations; accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in GAAP financial statements have been condensed or omitted. 2. Our organization and business, the accounting policies we follow and other information are contained in the notes to our financial statements filed as part of our 2003 Form 10-KSB. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with that annual report. 3. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We adopted SFAS 143 on January 1, 2003 and increased our liability for asset retirement obligations by $264,000 (using an 8% discount rate) and recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $181,000. One October 1, 2003 we changed our estimate and increased our liability by an additional $300,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we recognized $52,000 and $37,000, respectively, of accretion on the liability as a component of depletion expense. 4. As allowed in SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, we continue to apply APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in recording compensation related to our plan. The pro forma effect on our net income was not material for any of the periods presented. No grants were issued during the 2004 and 2003 periods. 5. As discussed in previous filings, the SC Field was purchased from ARCO (Atlantic Richfield which is now part of BP p.l.c.) in May 1990. As part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, ARCO agreed to indemnify us for certain environmental liabilities connected with their 40-year ownership of the field and gas plant ("ARCO Indemnity"). Part of the gas plant has not been operational during the past twenty-five years. There is evidence of asbestos in the non-operational part of the gas plant. It is our position, and the opinion of our legal counsel, that the ARCO Indemnity covers future abandonment and clean-up costs associated with this gas plant. We have had several discussions with BP regarding this matter and have retained a Los Angeles law firm to assert our rights under the ARCO Indemnity. BP continues to deny any responsibility. The costs to abandon and clean up the gas plant area and other oil and gas areas at the field will be significant. There is a chance, depending on the negotiations and legal proceedings with BP, that some or all of the costs could be borne by us. At this time we are unable to estimate what these costs could ultimately be but we expect that such costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 6. On August 10, 2004, we entered into an agreement with E&B Natural Resources Management Corporation (a private company) to sell all of our interest in the South Cuyama field and adjacent exploration areas for $23 million; consisting of $19.5 million in cash and an interest bearing note of $3.5 million due on September 30, 2005. Due to the minority interest these amounts will be reduced by 30%. Closing is scheduled for September 30, 2004, with an effective date of June 1, 2004. Due to the effective date being June 1, 2004, downward closing adjustments are expected to be about $1.5 million. In addition, and subject to final board approval, we plan to make employee bonuses and retention payments and to cash out our outstanding stock options all totaling about $2.7 million. Currently there are about 750,000 options outstanding and after the stock option cash out these options will be canceled. Following the sale, we will have no California operations, but will continue our operations in New Mexico and Texas. These properties have remaining gas reserves of about 2 BCF natural gas equivalents or 1.5 BCF considering the 30% minority interest. After closing, our board will meet to consider how best to utilize the cash from the sale. Among the options the board will consider is a special dividend. We have about 7.1 million shares outstanding. As a result of the sale agreement discussed above all exploration activities have been put on hold pending closing of the sale. HALLADOR PETROLEUM COMPANY Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR-TO-DATE COMPARISON ----------------------- The table below (in thousands) provides sales data and average prices for the periods.
2004 2003 ------------------------ ---------------------- Sales Average Sales Average Volume Price Revenue Volume Price Revenue ------- ------- ------ ------ ----- ------- Oil - barrels South Cuyama field 107 $35.00 $3,745 130 $28.82 $3,746 Other 4 26.75 107 5 16.40 82 Gas - mcf South Cuyama field 111 5.66 628 79 5.56 439 San Juan-New Mexico 35 4.97 174 26 4.57 119 Other 27 5.67 153 45 6.15 277
Oil revenue stayed about the same; however, the production declines were more than offset by price increases as set forth in the table above. Field production to the 100% for the 2004 and 2003 periods averaged 800 and 958 bopd, respectively. Oil production is down due to mechanical failures on three of our better wells and the decision not to start new projects pending the sale of the field. Current field production to the 100% is about 835 bopd. Gas revenue increased primarily due to higher production in the field. Last year the gas was shut in for about 50 days due to gas quality issues with SOCAL as previously disclosed in our 2003 Form 10-KSB. Current prices are about $44 for oil and $6 for gas. The table below (in thousands) shows lease operating expenses (LOE) for our two primary fields.
2004 2003 ------ ------ South Cuyama field: LOE excluding electricity $2,002 $1,900 Electricity 606 694 ------ ----- 2,608 2,594 San Juan - New Mexico 63 78 Other 20 59 ----- ----- $2,691 $2,731 ===== =====
Electricity decreased due to a 17% rate reduction from PG&E. QUARTER-TO-DATE COMPARISON -------------------------- The table below (in thousands) provides sales data and average prices for the periods.
2004 2003 Sales Average Sales Average Volume Price Revenue Volume Price Revenue ------- ------- ------ ------ ----- ------- Oil - barrels South Cuyama field 55 $36.36 $2,000 64 $26.33 $1,685 Other 2 27.50 55 4 10.00 40 Gas - mcf South Cuyama field 56 5.77 323 58 5.47 317 San Juan-New Mexico 19 5.16 98 13 4.38 57 Other 12 5.83 70 19 5.95 113
The table below (in thousands) shows lease operating expenses (LOE) for our two primary fields.
2004 2003 ------ ------ South Cuyama field: LOE excluding electricity $1,235 $1,042 Electricity 294 374 ------ ----- 1,529 1,416 San Juan - New Mexico 35 52 Other 5 26 ----- ----- $1,569 $1,494 ===== =====
Field production to the 100% for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 averaged 820 and 962 bopd, respectively. The increase in G&A was due primarily to a $50,000 contribution to a Denver charity. The explanations above for the year-to-date comparisons also apply to the quarter-to-date comparisons. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- Cash and cash to be provided from operations are expected to enable us to meet our obligations as they become due during the next several years. We have no bank debt, no special purpose entities and no off-balance sheet arrangements nor did we enter into any related party transactions. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION UPDATES THE MD&A CONTAINED IN ITEM 6 OF THE 2003 FORM 10-KSB AND THE TWO DISCUSSIONS SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER. PROSPECT DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITY --------------------------------------------- SOUTH CUYAMA FIELD ------------------- On August 10, 2004, we entered into an agreement with E&B Natural Resources Management Corporation (a private company) to sell all of our interest in the South Cuyama field and adjacent exploration areas for $23 million; consisting of $19.5 million in cash and an interest bearing note of $3.5 million due on September 30, 2005.
