Highlights of Results – Second Quarter Interim, Fiscal 2003
DYNAMIC OIL & GAS, INC.is pleased to report operational and financial highlights for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2003 (“2003-Q2” and “2003-Half”), compared with the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2002 (“2002-Q2” and “2002-Half”).
Summary Highlights
In the last few days of 2003-Q2, we:
- Achieved an exit rate of 4,150 boe/d. Our full-quarter average production was 3,207 boe/d; and
- Tied in the first two of our five new, standing natural gas wells at Cypress/Chowade in northeast British Columbia.
Other production measures we took in 2003-Q2 were:
- To temporarily holdback 393 boe/d to conduct scheduled, annual plant preventative maintenance and three-year, boiler inspection programs at facilities that handle our St. Albert production; and
- To increase our daily average production of natural gas and natural gas liquids by 246 boe/d, by rerouting St. Albert production into third-party compression facilities. This helped to mitigate production declines of 640 boe/d from the same quarter last year.
In 2003-Q2 and compared to 2002-Q2, we:
- Increased our gross revenues by 52% to $10.9 million;
- Increased cash flow from operations by 105% to $5.4 million;
- Increased our net earnings by 79% to $1.5 million; and
- Increased our daily average oil production volume by 415% to 695 barrels per day.
Also during 2003-Q2 and compared to 2002-Q2, we realized the following increases in our weighted average prices:
- A 67% increase in natural gas to $6.87 per mcf;
- A 37% increase in natural gas liquids to $26.02 per barrel; and
- A 3% increase in crude oil to $40.70 per barrel.
At the close of 2003-Q2, we:
- Achieved targeted spending levels of $6.4 million for capital and exploration expense spending which represented 24% of our $26.5 million 2003 budget; and
- Remained on track toward achieving our December 2003 target exit production rate of 5,200 boe/d.

Comparison of Significant Variances: 2003-Q2 vs 2002-Q2
Capital Expenditures –in 2003-Q2 we invested $5.6 million, 67% of which was spent on our properties at St. Albert and Wimborne, Alberta, and 23% of which was spent at Orion and Cypress/Chowade, British Columbia. In 2002-Q2 we invested $0.5 million, 80% at St. Albert and the balance at Orion.
Production Exit Rate –was 4,150 boe/d, a level that was achieved in only the last few days of 2003-Q2.
Daily Average Production Rate – decreased by a net 80 boe/d or 2%, to 3,207 boe/d. Of this net decrease, natural gas decreased by 506 boe/d or 21%, to 1,936 boe/d (11,616 mcf/d), natural gas liquids decreased by 133 boe/d or 19%, to 576 boe/d, while crude oil increased by 560 boe/d or 415%, to 695 boe/d. The main reasons for the net decrease were:
- At St. Albert, daily average rates of natural gas and natural gas liquids decreased by 526 boe/d or 20%, to 2,145 boe/d due mainly to a natural decline in reservoir pressures. To help mitigate pressure declines, we re-routed production through third-party compression facilities at the end of 2003-Q2, thereby adding 246 boe/d to our production rates;
- At Peavey/Morinville, Alberta, daily average rates decreased by 67 boe/d or 60%, to 62 boe/d due to production declines and a 27-day interruption during 2003-Q2 to update compression facilities; and
- At Cypress/Chowade, two previously-drilled natural gas wells commenced production at the end of 2003-Q2. They produced at a combined rate of 373 boe/d for that short time. As at the end of 2002-Q3 we had three standing natural gas wells awaiting tie-in. These wells are expected to be on stream late in 2003.
Weighted Average Commodity Prices–natural gas prices increased by 67% to $6.87/mcf, natural gas liquids by 37% to $26.02/bbl and crude oil by 3% to $40.70/bbl.

Royalties, Mineral Taxes and Alberta Royalty Tax Credits (ARTC) –increased by $1.7 million or 100%, to $3.5 million. Unit royalties expense increased by $6.08 or 105%, to $11.89 per boe due primarily to higher commodity prices and increased royalties obligations associated with production from two new St. Albert oil wells where production is burdened by an 18% overriding and a 25% crown royalty, net of ARTC.
On and effective July 7, 2003, we announced the repurchase of overriding royalty interests which burdened our total corporate production by 3%. In 2003-Q2 and 2003-Half, the overriding royalty expense was $471,135 and $794,876, respectively [2002-Q2 and 2002-Half - $195,737; $391,241, respectively]. The aggregate purchase price is to be recorded as an interest in producing leaseholds and expensed as depletion in future Statements of Operations, based on the unit-of-production method.
Production Costs – remained unchanged at $1.6 million, while unit production costs increased by a net of $0.11 or 2%, to $5.48 per boe mainly due to a decrease of $0.58 per boe related to the elimination of monthly processing charges for St. Albert facilities acquired pursuant to a sales and leaseback agreement and an increase of $0.68 per boe related to our scheduled annual plant preventative maintenance and three-year boiler inspection program at St. Albert not conducted in 2002-Q2.
Amortization and Depletion Expense (A&D) – increased by $0.5 million or 39%, to $1.9 million. Unit A&D costs increased by a net of $1.96 per boe or 43%, to $6.53 per boe due mainly to a higher leasehold asset base; new crude oil production volumes at St. Albert; and the recent annual revision to our proved producing natural gas reserves at St. Albert and Halkirk, Alberta.
Exploration Expenses – increased by $0.4 million or 88%, to $0.8 million. Unit exploration expenses increased by a net of $1.39 or 92%, to $2.90 per boe due mainly to an unsuccessful drilling attempt at Wimborne, Alberta.
General and Administrative Expenses (G&A ) – increased by $0.3 million or 59%, to $0.9 million. Unit G&A costs increased by a net of $1.17 or 63%, to $3.02 per boe. Cost increases of $1.43 per boe were spent in various areas: new staff hires; employee performance bonuses; geophysical and mapping software usage; bank-loan renegotiation fees; computer networking charges; gas marketing advice; and legal professional fees. Cost decreases of $0.26 per boe were due to overhead credits earned through the operation of properties. New production forecasted by year-end is expected to impact unit G&A costs competitively.
Comparison of Significant Variances: 2003-Half vs 2002-Half
Capital Expenditures –in 2003-Half we invested $10.9 million, 44% of which was spent on our properties at St. Albert and Wimborne, Alberta, and 56% of which was spent at Orion and Cypress/Chowade, British Columbia. In 2002-Half we invested $1.9 million on land acquisitions, mainly at St. Albert.
Cash Flow from Operations (non-GAAP) - increased by a net of $7.3 million or 155%, to $4.7 million. This was the net result of a $12.6 million increase due to higher commodity prices; a $5.0 million decrease caused by lower volume sales of natural gas and natural gas liquids; an increase of $3.8 million as a result of higher volume sales of crude oil; and a decrease of $4.1 million due mainly to an increase in royalties expense.

Net Earnings - increased by a net $5.7 million or 653%, to $4.8 million. This increase was the net result of the same factors that affected our cash flow from operations referred to above; a $0.1 million decrease due to higher amortization and depletion expense; a $0.7 million increase due to lower exploration expenses; and a $2.2 million decrease due to higher future income tax.
Other Significant Items
Liquidity and Capital Resources– during 2003-Q2, cash flows from operations, supplemented by $1.3 million in cash provided by the exercise of 780,000 stock options, exceeded our capital and exploration expense spending. As a result, our net debt decreased at the end of 2003-Q2 compared to the end of 2003-Q1 by $0.3 million. We expect to source our cash needs in the latter half of fiscal 2003 from cash flow from operations and our revolving bank operating loan.
Outlook – we continue to target a year-end daily exit rate of 5,200 boe/d. Most of the anticipated growth is expected to come from increased natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil production at St. Albert, subject to on-going regulatory processes. The balance is expected to come from natural gas at Cypress/Chowade, subject to the completion of pipelining and availability of third-party processing.
Our drilling program for 2003 includes 20 wells, 14 of which are new and six of which are re-entries. Of the 14 new wells, four are for development work in Alberta and seven are for exploratory work in northeast British Columbia.
