STONE ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and explanatory notes present the financial statements of Stone Energy Corporation (“Stone”) had the merger with Bois d’Arc Energy, Inc. (“Bois d’Arc”) and related transactions, including borrowings under the amended and restated credit facility, occurred as of June 30, 2008 (with respect to the balance sheet information using currently available fair value information) or as of January 1, 2007 (with respect to statements of operations information). The transactions for which these pro forma financial statements are presented are explained in more detail in the following footnotes.
Note 2 — Background of Merger
On April 30, 2008, Stone announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Bois d’Arc would merge with and into Stone Energy Offshore, L.L.C. (“Stone Offshore”), with Stone Offshore surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Stone. At that time, Bois d’Arc was an independent exploration company engaged in the discovery and production of oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico. The board of directors of Stone and Bois d’Arc each unanimously approved the transaction. Stone management and its board of directors continued in their current positions with Stone following the completion of the merger. The merger closed on August 28, 2008.
In the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Bois d’Arc common stock was converted into (i) 0.165 shares of common stock of Stone, and (ii) $13.65 per share in cash, without interest. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Stone paid total merger consideration of approximately $935 million in cash and issued approximately 11.3 million shares of its common stock valued at $63.52 per share, resulting in total merger consideration of approximately $1.7 billion. The source of funds for the cash component of the merger consideration included approximately $510 million of cash on hand and borrowings of $425 million under Stone’s amended and restated credit facility.
Note 3 — Method of Accounting for the Merger
Stone accounted for the Bois d’Arc merger using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Stone is deemed to be the acquirer of Bois d’Arc for purposes of accounting for the merger. The purchase method of accounting requires Stone to record the assets and liabilities of Bois d’Arc at their fair values.
The purchase price of Bois d’Arc’s net assets acquired in the merger was based on the total value of the cash consideration and the Stone common stock issued to Bois d’Arc stockholders. For accounting purposes, the per share value of the Stone common stock issued is $63.52, which represents the average closing price of Stone’s common stock for the two days prior to through the two days after the announcement date of April 30, 2008.

Note 4 — Combined Pro Forma Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include the following pro forma adjustments:
(a) To record the acquisition of Bois d’Arc in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, including estimated direct merger costs. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is subject to change.
The following table represents the allocation of the total purchase price of Bois d’Arc to the acquired assets and liabilities of Bois d’Arc. The allocation represents the fair values assigned to each of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, subject to finalized fair value appraisals and completed evaluations of proved and unevaluated oil and gas properties, deferred income taxes, contractual arrangements and legal and environmental matters. These and other estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available and is assessed by Stone.
| | | | |
| | (In thousands) | |
Fair value of Bois d’Arc’s net assets: | | | | |
Net working capital | | $ | 30,438 | |
Proved oil and gas properties | | | 1,472,315 | |
Unevaluated oil and gas properties | | | 425,115 | |
Fixed and other assets . | | | 385 | |
Goodwill | | | 337,879 | |
Deferred tax liability | | | (533,870 | ) |
Dismantlement reserve | | | (4,082 | ) |
Asset retirement obligations | | | (72,364 | ) |
| | | |
Total fair value of net assets | | $ | 1,655,816 | |
| | | |
The following table represents the breakdown of the consideration paid for Bois d’Arc’s net assets.
| | | | |
| | (In thousands) | |
Consideration paid for Bois d’Arc’s net assets: | | | | |
Cash consideration paid | | $ | 935,425 | |
Stone common stock issued | | | 717,887 | |
| | | |
Aggregate purchase consideration issued to Bois d’Arc stockholders | | | 1,653,312 | |
Plus: Estimated direct merger costs * | | | 2,504 | |
| | | |
Total purchase price | | $ | 1,655,816 | |
| | | |
| | |
* | | Estimated direct merger costs include legal and accounting fees, printing fees, investment banking expenses and other merger-related costs. |
(b) To adjust depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the additional basis allocated to proved oil and gas properties acquired and accounted for using the full cost method of accounting as if both companies had been combined as of January 1, 2007.
(c) To reverse the write-down of oil and gas properties recorded by Bois d’Arc under the successful efforts method of accounting. Stone follows the full cost method of accounting under which cost centers are represented by entire countries, while under successful efforts, cost centers are represented by fields, or some reasonable aggregation of fields with common production facilities or geological structural features.
(d) To reverse the expensing of exploration costs recorded by Bois d’Arc under the successful efforts method of accounting. Under the successful efforts method of accounting, exploratory costs associated with unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed, while under full cost accounting, such costs are capitalized. Assuming the companies had been combined as of January 1, 2007, under full cost accounting, no expensing of exploratory costs would have been required.
(e) To record interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs related to the merger) associated with $425 million of borrowings under our new credit facility to fund the acquisition (see Note 6), net of capitalized interest associated with the unevaluated costs from the acquired Bois d’Arc properties.
(f) To reflect the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments at an estimated effective tax rate of 35%.
(g) To adjust Stone’s weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 based on 11.3 million shares of Stone common stock issued, as described in Note 2 above.

Note 5 — Goodwill
The allocation of the purchase price includes $337.9 million of asset valuation attributable to goodwill. Goodwill has been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and represents the amount by which the total purchase price exceeds the aggregate fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger, other than goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. If goodwill becomes impaired, its carrying value is reduced to fair value through an impairment provision that is recorded as a charge to earnings in the period in which the impairment is measured.
Note 6 — Merger Financing
The merger was financed with approximately $510 million of cash on hand and borrowings of $425 million under an amended and restated credit facility. On August 28, 2008, Stone entered into an amended and restated revolving credit facility totaling $700 million through a syndicate of banks led by Bank of America, N.A. and Banc of America Securities LLC. The credit facility matures on July 1, 2011. The facility is required to be guaranteed by all of the material direct and indirect subsidiaries of Stone. As of August 28, 2008, the facility is guaranteed by Stone Energy Offshore, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stone (“Stone Offshore”).
Stone’s availability under the credit facility will be governed by a borrowing base which is currently set at $700 million. The determination of the future borrowing base will be made by the lenders taking into consideration the estimated value of the oil and gas properties of Stone and its direct and indirect material subsidiaries in accordance with the lenders’ customary practices for oil and gas loans. This process involves reviewing estimated proved reserves and their valuation of such properties. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually each May 1 and November 1 and the available borrowing amount could be increased or decreased as a result of such redeterminations. In addition, the borrowing base may be redetermined up to two additional times in any calendar year if requested by lenders holding 66 2/3% of the outstanding loans and commitments under the credit facility, and may be redetermined up to two additional times in any calendar year if requested by Stone. Finally, the borrowing base may be redetermined from time to time upon the occurrence of a material adverse change as defined in the credit facility.
Stone and Stone Offshore are required to mortgage, and grant a security interest in, their oil and gas reserves representing at least 80% of the discounted present value of the future net income of Stone, Stone Offshore and their material subsidiaries oil and gas reserves reviewed in determining the borrowing base.
At Stone’s option, loans under the credit facility will bear interest at a rate based on the adjusted London Interbank Offering Rate plus an applicable margin, or a rate based on the prime rate or Federal funds rate plus an applicable margin. The credit facility provides for optional and mandatory prepayments, affirmative and negative covenants, and interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio maintenance covenants.

(a) | | The reserve information disclosed is based on estimates by Bois d’Arc’s independent petroleum consultants at December 31, 2007. Stone and its independent petroleum consultants have not completed a comprehensive review of the Bois d’Arc reserves. Stone’s preliminary review of Bois d’Arc’s estimated proved reserves indicated estimated oil and natural gas reserve volumes of 335,000 MMcfe at December 31, 2007. |
|
| | Stone and its independent petroleum consultants will undertake a comprehensive review of Bois d’Arc’s reserves at December 31, 2008. Reserve engineering is a complex and subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of natural gas and oil that cannot be measured in an exact way and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, estimates prepared by one engineer may vary from those prepared by another. Upon completion of such a review, it is likely that the Stone estimate of Bois d’Arc’s reserves will be different, and those differences could be significant. |
