NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. In the opinion of the management of GeoResources, Inc. (the "Company"),
the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1996, and the results
of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31,
1996 and 1995.
The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
fiscal year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, it is suggested
that these financial statements be read in connection with the audited
consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company's
Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on SEC Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Results of Operations
Information concerning the Company's oil and gas operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, is set forth in the table below:
Oil and Gas Operations
Percent Increase
Three Months Ended (Decrease) from
March 31, 1996 1995 Period
Oil and gas production
sold (BOE) 44,266 37%
Average price per BOE $ 16.02 13%
Oil and gas revenue $ 708,975 55%
Production costs $ 256,645 18%
Average production cost $ 5.80 (14%)
per BOE
Oil and gas production sold increased by 11,854 BOE or 37% in the first
quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was due to
new "flush" production from the Company's Oscar Fossum H2 horizontal well
(.67 net) that was drilled and completed late in the fourth quarter 1995. Oil
and gas revenue increased $250,000 or 55% in the first quarter 1996 compared to
the first quarter 1995. The revenue increase was due to the substantially
higher volume of oil sold, discussed above, combined with a higher average oil
price of $16.02 in the first quarter 1996 compared to $14.15 in the first
quarter 1995. First quarter 1996 oil and gas production costs increased
$39,000 or 18% compared to the same period in 1995 due in part to the higher
volume of oil sold, which increased production taxes, but also due to higher
winter-related production costs. The `95-96 winter was harsh in North Dakota,
and first quarter 1996 production costs were impacted by higher costs for snow
removal and higher propane usage for oil treating facilities. Even with the
harsh winter, however, production costs on a per equivalent barrel basis
declined to $5.80 for the first quarter 1996 compared to $6.72 for the first
quarter 1995, a decrease of 14%. This decline is due to the contribution of
much lower per barrel cost horizontal well "flush" production provided by the
Oscar Fossum H2. During the first quarter 1996, production costs for the
Fossum H2 were $1.31 per barrel, $.76 of which was expense for production
taxes.
Information concerning the Company's leonardite operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, is set forth in the table below:
Leonardite Operations
Percent Increase
Three Months Ended (Decrease) from
March 31, 1996 1995 Period
Leonardite production
sold (tons) 1,790 9%
Average revenue per ton $ 102.89 10%
Leonardite revenue $ 184,177 20%
Cost of leonardite sold $ 167,079 20%
Average production cost $ 93.34 10%
per ton
Leonardite revenues for the first quarter 1996 increased 20% from the
first quarter 1995 due to a 9% increase in the number of tons sold and a 10%
increase in average revenue per ton. First quarter 1995 tonnage sold was
atypically low, thus the 1996 first quarter tonnage sold represents a return
to a more average first quarter. The 10% increase in average revenue per ton
was due to a larger percentage of specialty product sales which have higher
selling prices. The 20% increase in cost of leonardite sold resulted from the
9% increase in production coupled with the 10% higher per ton average
production costs. Average production costs increased, again due to the larger
percentage of specialty products which also have higher processing costs.
Consolidated Analysis
Total operating revenue increased $281,000 or 46% for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was
due mainly to increased oil production and higher oil prices. Total operating
expenses increased $159,000 or 28% for the first quarter 1996 when compared to
the same period in 1995. This increase was due to the higher oil and gas and
leonardite costs previously discussed; higher depreciation and depletion due
to increased oil production; and an increase in selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses. The SG&A increase was due, in large part, to
expense the Company incurred in the first quarter 1996 to advertise its
horizontal drilling success in publications targeted toward the investment
community. As a result of higher revenues, and to a lesser extent higher
expenses, operating income increased to $176,000 from $54,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total non-operating
expense increased to $51,000 for the first quarter 1996 from $45,000 for the
first quarter 1995 due to increased expenses related to oil price hedging
activities. Rising oil prices on the NYMEX at March 31, 1996, caused moderate
losses in the Company's hedge position designed to protect the Company in times
of falling prices.
As a result of consolidated operations, the Company achieved net income
for the first quarter 1996 of $114,000 or $.03 per share compared to the first
quarter 1995 net income of $9,300 or $.002 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1996, the Company achieved a positive working capital of
$44,000 compared to a negative working capital of ($172,000) at December 31,
1995. The Company's current ratio was 1.04 to 1 at March 31, 1996, compared
to .88 to 1 at year end 1995. The $216,000 change in working capital in one
quarter was primarily due to the Company paying off all remaining payables
related to the H2 horizontal drilling with cash flow provided by the H2 "flush"
production.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $316,000 for the first
quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared to $45,000 for the same period in 1995.
The substantial increase in 1996 operating cash flows was primarily due to
higher oil prices and the 37% increase in production provided by the Fossum H2
horizontal well. Cash was also utilized to make payments of $392,000 for
additions to property, plant and equipment and $128,000 for payments on
long-term debt.
The Company did not make any significant proved property acquisitions
in the first quarter 1996. Management believes its future cash requirements
can be met by cash flows from operations and its ability, if necessary, to
borrow on its existing line-of-credit.
