NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include footnotes and
certain financial presentations normally required under generally accepted
accounting principles; and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial statements to
conform to the presentation used in 1998.
NOTE 2 - PER SHARE COMPUTATIONS
- ----------------------
Per share computations are based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year. Common stock equivalents are not included
in the computations since their effect would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 3 - STOCK SPLIT
- ------------
On January 9, 1998, the Company's shareholders approved a one for eight reverse
split of the Company's common stock. Under the terms of the reverse split, one
share of $0.80 par value common stock will be issued for eight shares of $0.10
par value common stock, effective as of January 25, 1998, for shareholders of
record on December 8, 1997. In addition, the Company's shareholders approved a
reduction in the number of authorized preferred stock from 5,000,000 shares to
2,900,000 shares.
NOTE 4- DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- ---------------------
On February 4, 1998, the Company entered into a contract for the sale of
substantially all of the Company's oil and gas operating assets to an unrelated
entity. These operating assets include the Company's 140 acre real property
holding in Hasley Canyon, together with the oil and gas wells and leasehold
interests and related equipment. The sale was effective April 1, 1998. The
purchase price was $4,670,000 which included $3,739,000 in cash and a production
payment of $931,000, payable in installments in any month in which certain
postings for crude oil exceeds $13.50 per barrel. The monthly payment will be
equal to one-half of the difference between the posted price and $13.50,
multiplied by the barrels produced. There is no stated interest on the note.
Presently, the company has received no production payments under this provision.
NOTE 4- DISPOSITION OF ASSETS (Continued)
- ---------------------
In the third quarter of 1998, persistent declines in the price of oil triggered
management to reevaluate both the recorded value and net realizable value of the
$931,000 production payment given in the exchange. Management feels that only
approximately 40% of the stated value of the production payment will be realized
by the Company. Accordingly, the proceeds from the sale and the gain as
previously reported at June 30, 1998 have been reduced by $559,000 to reflect
management's revised valuation of the production payment receivable. The
previously reported gain has also been recalculated from June 30, 1998 to
re-capitalize certain assets previously disposed. Management retained interests
in some of its properties and has withdrawn capital expenditures incurred during
the sale from amounts previously considered as costs of the disposed assets.
Accordingly, fixed assets have been adjusted to include the value of these
capital expenditures.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS
- -------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
As discussed in Note 4 to the Financial Statements, the Company has sold
substantially all of its oil and gas properties to an unrelated party. The
Company has retained interests in two small oil and gas properties. As a result
of the sale, the Company had a positive cash flow of approximately $3,026,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to a negative cash flow
of approximately $339,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
However, the Company had a negative cash flow from operations of approximately
$429,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The current period
negative cash flow is the result of a significant decline in production and
sales due to the sale of the substantially all of the Company's oil and gas
properties, coupled with continuing depressed oil prices. The negative cash
flow at September 30, 1997 was the result of the Company paying off the accrued
liabilities associated with the 96-1 turnkey drilling program. The Company
expects to have positive cash flows from the earnings on its cash and cash
equivalents and from the retained oil and gas operations during the subsequent
quarters of 1998.
Nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared with the nine months ended
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1997.
- -------------------
The Company sold substantially all of its oil and gas properties in the middle
of the second quarter of 1998. Accordingly, results of continuing operations
for the period ended September 30,1998 is not comparable to the same period in
1997.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Oil and Gas Segment
- -------------------
As noted in the 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company entered
into a contract to sell their oil and gas producing properties to an unrelated
entity. The sale was completed in May, 1998 with an effective date of April 1,
1998. As a part of the amended sale agreement, the Company agreed to retain a
small portion of the field and made repairs to the facilities in order to
prepare the property for the sale. The Company continues to earn marginal
revenues from the retained interests in certain oil and gas properties and
interest income.
Oilfield Services Segment
- -------------------------
The Company continues to operate its wholly owned subsidiary Hydro-Test
International, Inc. (HTI) with existing equipment at the remaining facility near
Waller, Texas. There are no current or future plans to expand these operations.
Oilfield service revenues from HTI's operations decreased by approximately
$7,700 during the first nine months of 1998, as compared to the same period in
1997. However, oilfield service expenses also decreased by approximately
$19,000 during the same period. This resulted in a loss of approximately
$50,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to a loss of
approximately $117,000 for the same period in 1997. It is difficult to
determine if these losses will continue.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -----------------
The Company is not a party to nor is its property the subject of any material
legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its
business, or which is covered by insurance, except as previously disclosed in
