CALLON PETROLEUM COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
1. | | General |
|
| | The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, has been prepared from the books and records of Callon Petroleum Company (the “Company” or “Callon”) without audit. Financial information as of December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by US generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 10, 2005. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. |
|
| | Accounting Pronouncements |
|
| | On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), (“SFAS 123R”) Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, (“SFAS 123”) “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. |
|
| | In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) delayed the effective date of SFAS 123R for public companies to no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. SFAS 123R permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods below: |
| • | | A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date; or |
|
| • | | A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. |
6
As a result of the revised adoption date, the Company expects to adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.
As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123R’s fair value method could have a significant impact on our result of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share below under Stock-Based Compensation.
In September 2004, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 106, which expressed the Staff’s views regarding the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” by oil and gas producing companies following full-cost accounting method. SAB No. 106 specifies that subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 143 an oil and gas company following the full-cost method of accounting should include assets recorded in connection with the recognition of an asset retirement obligation pursuant to SFAS No. 143 as part of the costs subject to the full-cost ceiling limitation. The future cash outflows associated with settling the recorded asset retirement obligations should be excluded from the computation of the present value of estimated future net revenues used in applying the ceiling test. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB No. 106 in the first quarter of 2005, which had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has various stock plans (“the Plans”) under which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company have been or may be granted certain equity compensation. The Company has compensatory stock option plans in place whereby participants have been or may be granted rights to purchase shares of common stock of Callon. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25.
7
The Company’s pro forma net income and net income per share of common stock for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, had compensation costs been recorded using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123 – “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS No. 148”) – “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of SFAS No. 123,” are presented below pursuant to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 (in thousands except per share data):

In the second quarter of 2005, a non-cash charge in the amount of $928,000 was recognized for the accelerated vesting of performance shares for an executive officer and two directors of the Company, two of whom are deceased.
2. | | Per Share Amounts |
|
| | Basic net income or loss per common share was computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per common share was determined on a weighted average basis using common shares issued and outstanding adjusted for the effect of common stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method and the effect of the convertible preferred stock (if dilutive). |

| | The Company’s derivative contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, (“SFAS No. 133”) are recorded at fair market value and the changes in fair value are recorded through other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, in stockholders’ equity. The cash settlements on these contracts are recorded as an increase or decrease in oil and gas sales. Cash settlements on the derivative contracts for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 resulted in a reduction of oil and gas sales of $1.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, cash settlements on the derivative contracts reduced oil and gas sales in the amount of $4.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively. |

The changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts that are not designated as effective cash flow hedges are recorded through the statement of operations as derivative expense. In addition, the change in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, if any, is recorded as derivative expense. The following table summarizes derivative expense for the periods presented (in thousands):

| | | | | | | | |
Long-term debt | | $ | 188,045 | | | $ | 192,351 | |
| | | | | | | | |
On June 15, 2004, the Company closed on a three-year senior secured credit facility underwritten by Union Bank of California, N.A. The credit facility had an initial borrowing base of $60 million, which was increased to $70 million in the second quarter of 2005. The borrowing base is reviewed and redetermined semi-annually and can be increased to a maximum of $175 million. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by mortgages covering the Company’s five largest fields. As of June 30, 2005 there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility; however, Callon had an aggregate of $3.5 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility. These letters of credit secure obligations under the outstanding hedging contracts described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowings under the credit facility. As a result, $66.5 million was available for future borrowings under the credit facility as of June 30, 2005.
As a result of refinancing a portion of the Company’s debt in the first quarter of 2004, a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the amount of $2.5 million was recognized. See Note 5 of Callon’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 10, 2005 for a more detailed description of the Company’s long-term debt.
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries guarantee the Company’s obligations under the $200 million 9.75% senior notes due 2010. The subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned, all of the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, the parent company has no independent assets or operations and any subsidiaries of the parent company other than the subsidiary guarantors are minor.

5. | | Income Taxes |
|
| | The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS No. 109”) “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The statement provides for the recognition of a deferred tax asset for deductible temporary timing differences, capital and operating loss carryforwards, statutory depletion carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, net of a “valuation allowance”. The valuation allowance is provided for that portion of the asset for which it is deemed more likely than not that it will not be realized. |
|
| | SFAS 109 provides for the weighing of positive and negative evidence in determining whether it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset is recoverable. The Company incurred losses in 2002 and 2003 and had losses on an aggregate basis for the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. Because of these cumulative losses the Company established a valuation allowance of $11.5 million against the Company’s deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2003. |
|
| | As a result of production from the Company’s first two deepwater projects starting in November 2003, as well as refinancing its highest cost debt in 2004, the Company achieved profitable operations and had income on an aggregate basis for the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. Callon also expects 2005 production levels to exceed 2004 levels and expects to utilize most if not all of the deferred tax asset in 2005. As a result, the Company reversed the valuation allowance, which had a balance of $7.0 million as of December 31, 2004. |
|
| | During the first six months of 2004, the Company revised the valuation allowance as a result of current year ordinary income, the impact of which was included in the Company’s effective tax rate and resulted in no net income tax expense (benefit) for the period. The Company had income tax expense of $9.6 million in the first six months of 2005. |

7. | | Asset Retirement Obligations |
|
| | In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. As more fully discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in Callon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 10, 2005, SFAS No. 143 essentially requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Changes to the present value of the asset retirement obligations due to the passage of time are recorded as accretion expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
|
| | Assets, primarily U.S. Government securities, of approximately $7.9 million at June 30, 2005, are recorded as restricted investments. These assets are held in abandonment trusts dedicated to pay future abandonment costs of oil and gas properties in which the Company has sold a net profits interest. If there is any excess of trust assets over abandonment costs, the excess will be distributed to the net profits interest owners. |
|
| | The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s asset retirement obligation for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005: |

8. | | Suspended Medusa Oil Royalties |
|
| | In March 2005, pursuant to the Deepwater Royalty Relief Act, the Company was required to retroactively pay royalties for 2004 oil production to the Minerals Management Service (“MMS”) on the Medusa deepwater property, which were accrued during 2004, in the amount of $5.4 million. In addition, the Company is required to make monthly royalty payments in 2005. See Note 7 of Callon’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 10, 2005 for a more detailed description of the Deepwater Royalty Relief Act. |

9. | | Redemption of all Outstanding Shares of Preferred Stock |
|
| | On June 13, 2005, Callon called for redemption all of the Company’s outstanding shares of $2.125 Convertible Exchange Preferred Stock, Series A. A notice of redemption and letter of transmittal was mailed to all holders of record as of the close of business on June 10, 2005. Between June 13, 2005 and June 30, 2005, 180,173 shares of preferred stock were converted into 409,496 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent to June 30, 2005, 392,935 shares of preferred stock were converted into 892,776 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition 23,563 shares of the Company’s preferred stock were redeemed for $606,000 on July 14, 2005. |

Item 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report, including statements regarding the Company’s financial position, adequacy of resources, estimated reserve quantities, business strategies, plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and covenant compliance, are forward-looking statements. The Company can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations (“Cautionary Statements”) are disclosed, in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s most recent fiscal year, elsewhere in this report and from time to time in other filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified by the Cautionary Statements.
General
The Company’s revenues, profitability, future growth and the carrying value of its oil and gas properties are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of oil and gas, its ability to find, develop and acquire additional oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable and its ability to develop existing proved undeveloped reserves. The Company’s ability to maintain or increase its borrowing capacity and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also influenced by oil and gas prices. Prices for oil and gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include weather conditions in the United States, the condition of the United States economy, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, governmental regulations, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere, the foreign supply of oil and gas, the price of foreign imports and the availability of alternate fuel sources. Any substantial and extended decline in the price of oil or gas would have an adverse effect on the Company’s carrying value of its proved reserves, borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments for price protection purposes on a limited amount of its future production but does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had over 55% on an equivalent basis of its remaining 2005 production hedged.
The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the Company’s historical financial positions and results of operations. The Company’s historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report contain detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with the following discussion.
15
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of capital are cash flows from operations, borrowings from financial institutions and the sale of debt and equity securities. On June 30, 2005, we had net cash and cash equivalents of $18.7 million and $66.5 million of availability under our senior secured credit facility. Cash provided from operating activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 totaled $53.6 million. Cash provided by operating activities for 2005 has increased compared to 2004 primarily due to increased oil and gas prices. Net capital expenditures from the cash flow statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 totaled $32.6 million. Dividends paid on preferred stock were $318,000.
On June 13, 2005, we called for redemption all of our outstanding shares of $2.125 Convertible Exchange Preferred Stock, Series A. A notice of redemption and letter of transmittal was mailed to all holders of record as of the close of business on June 10, 2005. Between June 13, 2005 and June 30, 2005, 180,173 shares of preferred stock had been converted into 409,496 shares of our common stock. Subsequent to June 30, 2005, 392,935 shares of preferred stock were converted into 892,776 shares of our common stock. In addition 23,563 shares of our preferred stock were redeemed for $606,000 on July 14, 2005. As a result of the redemption, we will benefit from an annual cash savings of $1.3 million in future dividend payments.
On June 15, 2004, we closed on a three-year senior secured credit facility underwritten by Union Bank of California, N.A. The credit facility had an initial borrowing base of $60 million, which was increased to $70 million in the second quarter of 2005. The borrowing base is reviewed and redetermined semi-annually and can be increased to a maximum of $175 million. As of June 30, 2005 there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility; however, we had an aggregate of $3.5 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility. These letters of credit secure obligations under the outstanding hedging contracts described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowings under the credit facility. As a result, $66.5 million was available for future borrowings under the credit facility as of June 30, 2005.
The Indenture governing our 9.75% Senior Notes due 2010, in addition to the senior secured credit facility, contain various covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness and payment of cash dividends as well as maintenance of certain financial ratios. We were in compliance with respect to these covenants at June 30, 2005. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 10, 2005 for a more detailed discussion of long-term debt.
Our capital expenditure plans for 2005, including capitalized interest and general and administrative expenses, will require $80 million of funding. We anticipate that cash flow generated from operations during 2005 and current availability under our senior secured credit facility, if necessary, will provide the $93 million of capital necessary to fund these planned capital expenditures as well as our asset retirement obligations. See the Capital Expenditures section below for a more detailed discussion of our capital expenditures for 2005.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures from the cash flow statement for exploration and development costs related to oil and gas properties totaled approximately $33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. We incurred approximately $5 million in the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Area primarily for the drilling and completion of a development well at North Medusa. Interest of approximately $2 million and general and administrative costs allocable directly to exploration and development projects of approximately $3 million were capitalized for the first six months of 2005. Our Gulf of Mexico Shelf Area expenditures account for approximately $13 million of the total capital expended, which included the drilling of three shelf wells, two of which will be completed by the fourth quarter, the completion of a 2004 shelf well and the rework of three existing shelf wells. The remainder of the capital expended includes the acquisition of seismic and leases.
Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2005 are forecast to be approximately $47 million and include:
| • | | the completion and development of four shelf wells; |
|
| • | | the non-discretionary drilling of exploratory wells; |
|
| • | | the acquisition of seismic and leases; and |
|
| • | | capitalized interest and general and administrative costs. |
17
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In December 2003, we announced the formation of a limited liability company, Medusa Spar LLC which now owns a 75% undivided ownership interest in the deepwater spar production facilities on our Medusa Field in the Gulf of Mexico. We contributed a 15% undivided ownership interest in the production facility to Medusa Spar LLC in return for approximately $25 million in cash and a 10% ownership interest in the LLC. The LLC will earn a tariff based upon production volume throughput from the Medusa area. We are obligated to process our share of production from the Medusa field and any future discoveries in the area through the Spar production facilities. This arrangement allows us to defer the cost of the Spar production facility over the life of the Medusa field. Our cash proceeds were used to reduce the balance outstanding under our senior secured credit facility. The LLC used $83.7 million of cash proceeds from non-recourse financing and a cash contribution by one of the LLC owners to acquire its 75% interest in the Spar. The balance of Medusa Spar LLC is owned by Oceaneering International, Inc. (NYSE:OII) and Murphy Oil Corporation (NYSE:MUR). We are accounting for our 10% ownership interest in the LLC under the equity method.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 and the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004.
Oil and Gas Production and Revenues
Total oil and gas revenues increased 11% to $41.7 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $37.6 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher product prices. Total production on an equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2005 decreased by 12% versus the second quarter of 2004.
Gas production during the second quarter of 2005 totaled 2.3 Bcf and generated $17.2 million in revenues compared to 3.4 Bcf and $21.4 million in revenues during the same period in 2004. The average gas price after hedging impact for the second quarter of 2005 was $7.43 per Mcf compared to $6.28 per Mcf for the same period last year. The decrease in production was primarily due to normal and expected decline in production from our Mobile area fields and older properties. The decrease was partially offset by higher production from Medusa and production from our new wells at High Island Block 119.
Oil production during the second quarter of 2005 totaled 590,000 barrels and generated $24.5 million in revenues compared to 539,000 barrels and $16.2 million in revenues for the same period in 2004. The average oil price received after hedging impact in the second quarter of 2005 was $41.53 per barrel compared to $30.03 per barrel in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in production for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004 was due to higher production from Medusa.
Lease Operating Expenses
Lease operating expenses of $6.2 million for the three-month period ending June 30, 2005 were relatively flat compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2004.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three months ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $13.7 million and $14.5 million, respectively. The 5% decrease was primarily due to lower production volumes for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period last year. The decrease was partially offset by a higher average depletion rate.
Accretion Expense
Accretion expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 of $770,000 and $914,000, respectively, represents accretion of our asset retirement obligations. The decrease was due to the settlement of plugging and abandonment obligations. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
20
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses, net of amounts capitalized, were $2.8 million and $1.5 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 82% increase was primarily the result of a non-cash charge in the amount of $928,000 that was incurred in the second quarter of 2005 for the accelerated vesting of performance shares for an executive officer and two directors of the Company, two of whom are deceased. In addition, reduced capitalized overhead in the second quarter of 2005 contributed to the increase.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by 21% to $4.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $5.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease is primarily attributable to an equity offering which was completed in the second quarter of 2004 in which a portion of the proceeds were used to redeem $33 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2005.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $4.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to zero for the same period last year. This was due to an increase in income before income taxes and no reversal of valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2005.
A valuation allowance of $11.5 million was established against our deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2003. We revised the valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2004 by the amount of income tax expense resulting from second quarter ordinary income, the impact of which was included in our effective tax rate and resulted in no net income tax expense (benefit) for the second quarter of 2004. At year-end 2004, the remaining balance in the valuation allowance was reversed. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of the valuation allowance.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004.
Oil and Gas Production and Revenues
Total oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $84.7 million in the first half of 2005 from $69.5 million in the first half of 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher product prices. Total production on an equivalent basis for the first half of 2005 was relatively flat compared to the first half of 2004.
Gas production during the first half of 2005 totaled 5.1 Bcf and generated $36.2 million in revenues compared to 6.5 Bcf and $39.9 million in revenues during the same period in 2004. The average gas price after hedging impact for the first half of 2005 was $7.15 per Mcf compared to $6.11 per Mcf for the same period last year. The decrease in production was primarily due to normal and expected decline in production from our Mobile area fields and older properties. The decrease was partially offset by higher production from Medusa and production from our new wells at High Island Block 119.
Oil production during the first half of 2005 totaled 1,230,000 barrels and generated $48.5 million in revenues compared to 978,000 barrels and $29.7 million in revenues for the same period in 2004. The average oil price received after hedging impact in the first half of 2005 was $39.41 per barrel compared to $30.32 per barrel in the first half of 2004. The increase in production for the six-month period ending June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was due to the higher production from Medusa.
Lease Operating Expenses
Lease operating expenses for the six-month period ending June 30, 2005 increased to $12.7 million compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2004. The 13% increase was primarily due to lease operating expenses related to our deepwater property, Medusa, which had higher throughput charges as a result of higher production rates and the addition of our High Island Block 119 field, which began producing in the third quarter of 2004.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the six months ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $29.1 million and $26.3 million, respectively. The 11% increase was due to a higher average depletion rate.
Accretion Expense
Accretion expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, represents accretion of our asset retirement obligations. The decrease was due to the settlement of plugging and abandonment obligations. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
22
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses, net of amounts capitalized, were $4.5 million and $5.3 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 15% decrease was a result of a charge of $2.6 million that was incurred in the first quarter of 2004 for the early retirement of two executive officers of the Company. The decrease was partially offset by a non-cash charge for the accelerated vesting of performance shares in the amount of $928,000 for an executive officer and two directors of the Company, two of whom are deceased, and reduced capitalized overhead in the first half of 2005.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by 22% to $8.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $11.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease is primarily attributable to an equity offering which was completed in the second quarter of 2004 in which a portion of the proceeds were used to redeem $33 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2005.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
A loss of $2.5 million was recognized in the first half of 2004 for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and bond discounts associated with the early extinguishment of the $22.9 million of 10.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 31, 2004, the $40 million of 10.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 15, 2004 and the remaining $10 million of 12% senior loans due in 2005 plus a 1% pre-payment premium.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $9.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to zero for the same period last year. This was due to an increase in income before income taxes and no reversal of valuation allowance in the first half of 2005.
A valuation allowance of $11.5 million was established against our deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2003. We revised the valuation allowance in the first half of 2004 by the amount of income tax expense resulting from the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 ordinary income, the impact of which was included in our effective tax rate and resulted in no net income tax expense (benefit) for the first half of 2004. At year-end 2004, the remaining balance in the valuation allowance was reversed. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of the valuation allowance.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s revenues are derived from the sale of its crude oil and natural gas production. The prices for oil and gas remain extremely volatile and sometimes experience large fluctuations as a result of relatively small changes in supply, weather conditions, economic conditions and government actions. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage oil and gas price risk.
The Company utilizes fixed price “swaps”, which reduce the Company’s exposure to decreases in commodity prices and limit the benefit the Company might otherwise have received from any increases in commodity prices.
The Company utilizes price “collars” to reduce the risk of changes in oil and gas prices. Under these arrangements, no payments are due by either party so long as the market price is above the floor price set in the collar and below the ceiling. If the price falls below the floor, the counter-party to the collar pays the difference to the Company and if the price is above the ceiling, the counter-party receives the difference from the Company.
Callon has purchased “puts” as another form of derivative which reduces the Company’s exposure to decreases in oil and gas prices while allowing realization of the full benefit from any increases in oil and gas prices. If the price falls below the puts, the counter-party pays the difference to the Company.
The Company enters into these various agreements from time to time to reduce the effects of volatile oil and gas prices and does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. However, certain of the Company’s derivative positions may not be designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s hedged position at June 30, 2005. There have been no significant changes in market risks faced by the Company since the end of 2004.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
