UNITED MERIDIAN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of United Meridian
Corporation (UMC or the Company) included herein have been prepared, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Although certain information normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
has been condensed or omitted, UMC believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.
NOTE 2 ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
As part of its on-going operations, the Company continually acquires and sells
producing and undeveloped reserves and related assets. Certain transactions
occurring in the periods presented are discussed below.
Through July 1997, the Company has acquired additional interests in various
properties from several of its institutional partners. In conjunction with one
of these acquisitions, the Company sold a portion of the acquired interests.
The net cost of the additional interests was approximately $25,936,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company sold various non-
strategic North American properties for total proceeds of $13,573,000, resulting
in pre-tax gains of $2,248,000.
In late 1995, the Company agreed to assign to Yukong Limited a portion of its
interests in Blocks CI-01 and CI-02 in Cote d'Ivoire and Blocks B, C and D in
Equatorial Guinea. Mobil Equatorial Guinea, Inc. (Mobil) subsequently exercised
its preferential right to purchase the interest in Block B in lieu of the
proposed assignment to Yukong Limited. Under the agreements, the Company
received $13,016,000 in cash in the first six months of 1996, resulting in a
pre-tax gain of $11,392,000.
In June 1996, UMC Resources Canada, Inc. (Resources), the Company's wholly-
owned Canadian subsidiary, sold all of its interests in the Rocanville area in
the province of Saskatchewan, effective May 1, 1996. Net proceeds from the sale
were $6,722,000 and a gain of $4,679,000 was recognized.
During the first six months of 1996, the Company sold various other non-
strategic North American properties for total proceeds of $9,977,000, resulting
in pre-tax gains of $1,941,000.
NOTE 3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company hedged a portion of its oil production with collar agreements in
the first six months of 1997, having no material impact on oil revenues.
The Company currently has no-cost natural gas collar contracts in place from
June 1997 through October 1997 for 1 BCF per month with a floor price of $2.10
and a cap price of $2.39 and a separate no-cost collar for 250,000 MCF per month
for September 1997 and October 1997 production at a floor price of $2.00 and a
cap price of $2.26. UMC's current hedging agreements are settled on a monthly
basis. All of UMC's current hedge contracts specify the third-party index to be
the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) futures contract prices for the
applicable commodity, matching the
-6-
<PAGE>
appropriate basis risk. There was no deferred hedge gain or loss at
June 30, 1997.
NOTE 4 IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share" superseding
Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 15. Although SFAS No. 128 cannot be
adopted until December 15, 1997, pro forma disclosures are allowed to minimize
the impact of year-end adoption. Therefore, the following pro forma information
is presented:

--------- --------- -------- --------
Diluted EPS, as restated $ 0.05 $ 0.15 $ 0.22 $ 0.24
========= ========= ======== ========
As mandated by SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per common share is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is determined on
the assumption that outstanding stock options have been converted using the
average price for the quarter.
NOTE 5 SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
In connection with the sale by UMC of the 10-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
(Notes) in October 1995, UMC Petroleum Corporation (Petroleum), wholly-owned and
the Company's only direct subsidiary, has unconditionally guaranteed the full
and prompt performance of the Company's obligations under the Notes and related
indenture, including the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest.
Other than intercompany arrangements and transactions, the consolidated
financial statements of Petroleum are equivalent in all material respects to
those of the Company and therefore the separate consolidated financial
statements of Petroleum are not material to investors and have not been included
herein. However, in an effort to provide meaningful financial data relating to
the guarantor (i.e., Petroleum on an unconsolidated basis) of the Notes, the
following condensed consolidating financial information has been provided
following the policies set forth below:
(1) Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the cost
basis. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore not reflected in the related
investment accounts.
(2) Certain reclassifications were made to conform all of the financial
information to the financial presentation on a consolidated basis. The
principal eliminating entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and
intercompany balances.

<PAGE>
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.
Oil and gas revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $116.5
million, or 22.9% greater than oil and gas revenues of $94.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in oil and gas revenues is primarily
due to increased oil production volumes in West Africa, offset by lower U.S. gas
volumes due to property sales and lower product prices. The average sales price
after hedging for natural gas decreased to $2.03 per Mcf, or 2.4%, in the first
six months as compared to the same period of 1996. Natural gas production for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 26,284 MMCF, a decrease of 8.1% as
compared to the first six months of 1996 volumes due primarily to the impact of
property sales. Oil production increased 84.3%, or 1,568 MBO, in the first six
months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 due primarily to increased
oil production in Cote d'Ivoire and commencement of production in Equatorial
Guinea in August 1996. The average sales price after hedging for oil decreased
to $18.44, or 2.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
prior year period.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company sold various non-
strategic North American properties for total cash proceeds of $13.6 million,
resulting in pre-tax gains of $2.2 million. The first half of 1996 gains on
sales of assets resulted primarily from a pre-tax gain of $11.4 million on cash
proceeds of $13.0 million related to the purchase by Mobil of a 10% interest in
Equatorial Guinea Block B and the gain on sale of the Company's interests in the
Rocanville area of Saskatchewan of $4.7 million on proceeds of $6.7 million.
Production costs, including ad valorem and production taxes, increased to
$25.7 million, or 5.8%, in the first six months of 1997 as compared to $24.3
million in the comparable period of 1996, primarily due to commencement of
production in Equatorial Guinea in August 1996. However, on a cost per barrel
of oil equivalent (BOE) basis, production costs in the first six months of 1997
decreased $0.37 per BOE (10.1%) when compared to the first six months of 1996.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997
were $6.0 million compared to $6.5 million in the six months ended June 30,
1996. This decrease was primarily due to certain non-cash benefits accrual
adjustments in the first quarter of 1997 and increased management fees from
institutional partners. General and administrative expenses per BOE of
production decreased from $0.98 per BOE in the first six months of 1996 to $0.77
per BOE in the comparable period of 1997.
Exploration, dry hole and lease impairment expenses for the first six months
of 1997 totaled $22.8 million as compared to $14.7 million in the first six
months of 1996. This increase of $8.1 million was primarily due to increased
dry hole costs experienced in Equatorial Guinea Block D and Cote d'Ivoire Block
CI-12. In addition, the Company had increased geological and geophysical costs
in the 1997 period as compared to the 1996 period reflecting a higher level of
exploration activity in Cote d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and North America.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 of $43.6 million increased 4.2% from $41.8 million for the
comparable 1996 period. This increase is primarily attributable to increased
production levels in Cote d'Ivoire and Equatorial Guinea. The rate per BOE of
oil and gas DD&A decreased 11.6% from $6.22 per BOE in the first six months of
1996 to $5.48 per BOE in the 1997 comparable period. This decrease is primarily
due to a change in the Company's production mix (lower Gulf of Mexico production
with historically high DD&A rates, offset by increased West African production
with lower DD&A rates).
Interest and debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $9.4
million, including non-cash amortization of debt issue costs totaling $0.7
million, compared to $11.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the reduced debt levels in 1997
as a result of debt payments in late 1996 with the proceeds of the November 1996
equity offering.
An income tax provision of $6.4 million (of which $2.7 million is a current
provision and $3.7 million is a deferred provision) was recognized for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to a provision of $5.9 million (of which
$0.3 million was a current provision and $5.6 million was a deferred provision)
for the comparable 1996 period. Significantly impacting first six months 1997
current taxes is a $2.3 million non-cash provision representing current taxes
incurred in Cote d'Ivoire which, under the terms of the production sharing
contract, will be paid by the Ivorian government from their production proceeds.
Consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, the deferred income tax provision or benefit was
derived primarily from changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities
recorded on the balance sheet. The deferred tax provision for the six months of
1997 reflects a $1.1 million benefit reflecting final analysis and resolution of
certain Canadian tax issues.
-13-
<PAGE>
The Company reported net income of $8.0 million, or $0.22 per share, for the
first six months of 1997 compared to a net income of $9.0 million, or $0.24 per
share, for the six months of 1996.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1996.
Material changes in the results of operations between the three months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, primarily reflect the significant increases in oil and
natural gas production volumes offset by decreases in prices received and gain
on sale of assets, all of which have been discussed previously. Production costs
during the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the comparable period in 1996
reflect the Equatorial Guinea production that began in the third quarter
of 1996.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Company has historically funded its operations, acquisitions, exploration
and development expenditures from cash flows from operating activities, bank
borrowings, sales of common and preferred stock, issuance of senior subordinated
notes, sales of non-strategic oil and natural gas properties, sales of partial
interests in exploration concessions and project finance borrowings.
The primary sources of cash for the Company during the six months ended
June 30, 1997, included proceeds from funds generated from operations, proceeds
from asset sales and exercise of stock options. In the comparable period of
1996, the primary sources of cash included funds generated from operations,
proceeds from asset sales and bank borrowings. Primary cash uses for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 included capital expenditures (including
exploration expenses) which totaled $158.0 million and $62.2 million,
respectively. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 1997, cash uses
include $2.3 million of debt issue costs as a result of the new Credit Facility
discussed below.
Discretionary cash flow, a measure of performance for exploration and
production companies, is derived by adjusting net income to eliminate the
effects of exploration expenses, including dry hole costs and impairments, DD&A,
deferred income tax, gain (loss) on sale of assets and non-cash amortization of
debt issue costs. The effects of working capital changes are not taken into
account. This measure reflects an amount that is available for capital
expenditures, debt repayment or dividend payments. The company generated
discretionary cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 of $76.6
million and $53.9 million, respectively. The 42% increase in discretionary cash
flow in the 1997 period as compared to the 1996 period is primarily due to
increased oil production in Cote d'Ivoire and Equatorial Guinea.
The Company has used the Credit Facility in the past to partially finance its
capital expenditures. During March 1997, the Company completed negotiations to
expand the Credit Facility to $300.0 million from $200.0 million with an initial
borrowing base of $275.0 million. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had no
outstanding loans thereunder and outstanding letters of credit of approximately
$1.0 million. Resulting liquidity (including cash) at June 30, 1997 was
approximately $290.4 million. As of December 31, 1996, the borrowing base under
the Credit Facility was $200.0 million, and the Company had no outstanding loans
thereunder and outstanding letters of credit of approximately $0.6 million.
Resulting liquidity (including cash) exceeded $254.0 million.
As part of its on-going operations, the Company periodically sells interests
in proved reserves and enhanced exploration prospects. This practice continued
in the first six months of 1997 and 1996, with net cash proceeds from sales of
assets of $13.6 million and $29.7 million, respectively. During the six months
ended June 30, 1997, the cash proceeds were generated through the sale of
various non-strategic North American properties. These proceeds were used to
redeploy capital to domestic and international opportunities which management
believes will generate higher rates of return.
The Company's capital expenditure budget for 1997 is expected to be
approximately $300 million, consisting of approximately $100 million for
exploration and approximately $200 million for development and property
acquisitions. Primary areas of emphasis will be East Texas, the Gulf of Mexico
and Western Africa. Funding for capital expenditures is anticipated to come
from present cash on hand, discretionary cash flow and, if necessary, borrowings
under the Credit Facility. In addition, the Company will evaluate its level of
capital spending throughout the year based upon drilling results, commodity
prices, cash flows from operations and property acquisitions. Actual capital
spending may vary from the established capital expenditure budget.
Due to the aforementioned expanded Credit Facility and the equity offering
completed in November 1996, the Company's financial structure has been
significantly strengthened. The Company's debt to total capitalization ratio
has decreased to 26% at June 30, 1997, from 27% at December 31, 1996. Combined
with cash flows from operating
-14-
<PAGE>
activities, the Company has the financial strength, leverage and liquidity that
will allow it to fund the 1997 capital expenditure program, including the
international exploration and development opportunities in Cote d'Ivoire and
Equatorial Guinea, and continue to selectively pursue strategic corporate and
property acquisitions.
The Company's interest coverage ratio (calculated as the ratio of income from
operations plus DD&A and exploration expense to interest plus capitalized
interest less non-cash amortization of debt issue costs) was 10.21 to 1 for the
first six months of 1997, compared with 7.11 to 1 for the first six months of
1996.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
The Company conducts a portion of its business in Canadian dollars.
Therefore, a portion of the Company's business is subject to fluctuations in
currency exchange rates. In preparing the Company's financial statements, the
results of operations of the Canadian subsidiary are generally translated at the
average exchange rate for the year-to-date, and the subsidiary's assets and
liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance
sheet date.
The majority of revenues and expenditures for the Company's West African
operations are settled and all books and records are maintained in the U.S.
dollar.
CHANGES IN PRICES AND INFLATION
The Company's revenues and the value of its oil and natural gas properties
have been, and will continue to be, affected by changes in oil and natural gas
prices. The Company's ability to maintain its current borrowing capacity and to
obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent on
oil and natural gas prices. Oil and natural gas prices are subject to
significant seasonal, market and other fluctuations that are beyond the
Company's ability to control or predict. Although certain Company costs and
expenses are affected by the level of inflation, inflation did not have a
significant effect on the Company's results of operations for the first six
months of 1997 or 1996.
