GOODRICH PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 and 2002
(Unaudited)
NOTE A—Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (“Goodrich” or “the Company”) included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE B—New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record a liability equal to the fair value of the estimated cost to retire an asset. The asset retirement liability must be recorded in the periods in which the obligation meets the definition of a liability, which is generally when the asset is placed in service. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Company recorded liabilities for the abandonment of oil and gas properties only in its two largest fields, with such liabilities amounting to $4,881,000 as of December 31, 2002. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 143, the Company recorded an adjustment to recognize additional estimated liabilities for the abandonment of oil and gas properties, as of January 1, 2003, in the amount of $1,408,000, and additional oil and gas properties, net of accumulated depletion, depreciation and amortization, in the amount of $1,092,000. To recognize the cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle, the Company recorded a charge to earnings as of January 1, 2003 in the amount of $205,000, reflecting the $316,000 difference between the adjustments to the liability and asset accounts, net of the related income tax effect. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded additional charges to depletion expense in the amounts of $189,000 for the accretion of the abandonment liability and $64,000 for the completion of new wells and reduced the abandonment liability by $19,000 related to the sale of a property. Any subsequent difference between costs incurred upon settlement of an asset retirement obligation and the recorded liability will be recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s earnings.

The pro forma accrued abandonment costs as of January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002 were $5,933,000 and $6,115,000, respectively. Pro forma net income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, assuming SFAS No. 143 had been applied retroactively, was as follows:

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities. This statement (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, and (3) amends the definition of an underlying derivative to conform to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with all provisions applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 149 on its financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify an instrument that is within its scope as a liability. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had no financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 150.
NOTE C—Sale of Oil and Gas Properties to Related Party
10
On March 12, 2002, the Company monetized a portion of the value created in its Burrwood/West Delta fields by selling a thirty percent (30%) working interest in the existing production and shallow rights, and a fifteen percent (15%) working interest in the deep rights below 10,600 feet, in its Burrwood/West Delta fields for $12 million to Malloy Energy Company, LLC led by Patrick E. Malloy, III and participated in by Sheldon Appel, both members of the Company’s Board of Directors, as well as Josiah Austin, who subsequently became a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (Mr. Malloy is now Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors). The sale price was determined by discounting the present value of the acquired interest in the fields’ proved, probable and possible reserves using prevailing oil and gas prices. The Company retained an approximate sixty-five percent (65%) working interest in the existing production and shallow rights, and a thirty-two and one-half percent (32.5%) working interest in the deep rights after the close of the transaction. In conjunction with the sale, the investor group provided a $7.7 million line of credit. The $7.7 million line of credit, which reduced to $5.0 million on January 1, 2003, is subordinate to the Company’s senior credit facility and can be used for acquisitions, drilling, development and general corporate purposes until December 31, 2004. The investor group retains the option to convert the amount outstanding under the credit line, and/or provide cash on any unused credit to a maximum of $5.0 million through December 31, 2004, into working interests in any acquisition(s) the Company may make in Louisiana prior to January 1, 2005. The conversion of the credit facility will be on a pro-rata basis with the Company’s interest and may not exceed a maximum of $5.0 million through December 31, 2004, or thirty percent (30%) of any potential acquisition(s).
The Company recorded a non-recurring gain of approximately $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2002 as a result of the sale. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under its senior credit facility.
NOTE D—Senior Credit Facility
On November 9, 2001, the Company established a three-year $50,000,000 senior credit facility with BNP Paribas, with an initial borrowing base of $25,000,000, subject to periodic redetermination. The latest redetermination was performed as of June 4, 2003 and resulted in a borrowing base of $23,000,000. The Company anticipates that the next borrowing base redetermination will be performed in the third quarter of 2003 once BNP Paribas completes its evaluation of production information on several new oil and gas wells completed in the first and second quarters of 2003. The Company’s borrowings outstanding under the credit facility amounted to $20,000,000 as of June 30, 2003.
Interest on borrowings under the senior credit facility accrue at a rate calculated, at the option of the Company, as either the BNP Paribas base rate plus 0.00% to 0.50%, or LIBOR plus 1.50%—2.50%, depending on borrowing base utilization. Interest on LIBOR-rate borrowings is due and payable on the last day of its respective interest period. Accrued interest on each base-rate borrowing is due and payable on the last day of each quarter. The credit facility requires that the Company pay a 0.375% per annum commitment fee, payable in quarterly installments based on the Company’s borrowing base utilization. Prior to maturity, no payments are required so long as
11
the maximum borrowing base amount exceeds the amounts outstanding under the credit facility. The credit facility requires the Company to monitor tangible net worth and maintain certain financial statement ratios at certain levels. Except for one financial covenant, for which the Company has obtained a waiver for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company is in substantial compliance with all such requirements. Substantially all the Company’s assets are pledged to secure the senior credit facility.
As indicated in Note E, the Company entered into three separate interest rate swaps with BNP Paribas in February 2003 covering a three year period, with the first interest rate swap having an effective date of February 26, 2003. As a result of this arrangement, the Company’s net interest rate on its borrowings under the senior credit facility was reduced to 3.40%, in the six months ended June 30, 2003.
NOTE E—Hedging Activities
As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s open forward position on its outstanding natural gas and crude oil hedging contracts and its interest rate swap contracts, all of which were with BNP Paribas, were as follows:
Natural Gas
3000 MMBtu per day with a no cost collar of $3.50 and $5.19 per Mmbtu for July through December 2003; and
3000 MMBtu per day “swap” at $4.06 for July 2003 through December 2003.
Crude Oil
300 barrels of oil per day “swap” at $28.47 for July 2003 through December 2003; and
200 barrels of oil per day “swap” at $29.32 for July 2003 through December 2003; and
200 barrels of oil per day “swap” at $29.97 for July 2003 through December 2003
The fair value of the natural gas and oil hedging contracts in place at June 30, 2003, resulted in a liability of $1,036,000. As of June 30, 2003, $673,000 (net of $363,000 in income taxes) of deferred losses on derivative instruments accumulated in other comprehensive income are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, $408,000 of previously deferred losses (net of $219,000 in income taxes) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to oil and gas sales as the cash flow of the hedged items was recognized. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company’s earnings were not significantly affected by cash flow hedging ineffectiveness arising from the oil and gas hedging contracts.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has a variable-rate debt obligation that exposes the Company to the effects of changes in interest rates. To partially reduce its exposure to interest rate risk, the Company entered into three separate interest rate swaps with BNP Paribas in February 2003 covering a
12
three year period which are designated as cash flow hedges. The first interest rate swap, which has an effective date of February 26, 2003 and a maturity date of February 26, 2004 is for $18,000,000 with a LIBOR swap rate of 1.53%. The second interest rate swap, which has an effective date of February 26, 2004 and a maturity date of November 8, 2004, is for $18,000,000 with a LIBOR swap rate of 2.25%. The third interest rate swap, which has an effective date of November 8, 2004 and a maturity date of February 26, 2006, is for $18,000,000 with a LIBOR swap rate of 3.46%. The fair value of the effective portions of the interest rate swaps and changes thereto is deferred in other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the periods in which the hedged interest payments on the variable-rate debt affect earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the income effect from cash flow hedging ineffectiveness of interest rates was immaterial. The fair value of the interest rate swaps are estimated using LIBOR forward curve rates obtained from BNP Paribas. The estimated fair value approximates the values based on quotes from BNP Paribas and resulted in a liability at June 30, 2003 of $415,000. There were no settlements under the interest rate swaps in the six months ended June 30, 2003, therefore, there were no previously deferred amounts recognized in earnings.
NOTE F—Net Income Per Share
Net income or loss was used as the numerator in computing basic and diluted income per common share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The following table reconciles the weighted-average shares outstanding used for these computations.

The computation of earnings per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 considered exercisable stock warrants and stock options to the extent that the exercise of such securities would have been dilutive. The computation of earnings per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 did not consider preferred stock which is convertible into shares of common stock because the effect of such conversion would have been antidilutive.
In February 2003, the Company issued 125,157 shares of its common stock to the holders of 1,016,500 outstanding stock options in exchange for the cancellation of such options (at the time of cancellation, the options were antidilutive). At the same time, the Company agreed to issue 150,000 restricted shares of its common stock, with a three year vesting period, to its employees under the Company’s existing incentive stock option and restricted stock awards plan. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to earnings of $403,000 related to the issuance of shares in lieu of cancelled options and a charge to a contra equity account for the
13
value of the restricted stock awards in the amount of $483,000. The contra equity account is being amortized to earnings over the three year vesting period of the restricted stock awards and resulted in a non-cash charge to earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2003 of $67,000. The Company will be required to record recurring non-cash charges to earnings of approximately $40,000 per quarter, through the first quarter of 2006, related to the periodic vesting of the restricted stock.
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock compensation plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, net income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 would have reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

NOTE G—Commitments and Contingencies
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has identified the Company as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for the cost of clean-up of “hazardous substances” at an oil field waste disposal site in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. The Company estimates that the remaining cost of long-term clean-up of the site will be approximately $3.5 million, with the Company’s percentage of responsibility estimated to be approximately 3.05%. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had paid $321,000 in costs related to this matter and accrued $122,500 for the remaining liability. These costs have not been discounted to their present value. The EPA and the PRPs will continue to evaluate the site and revise estimates for the long-term clean-up of the site. There can be no assurance that the cost of clean-up and the Company’s percentage responsibility will not be higher than currently estimated. In addition, under the federal environmental laws, the liability costs for the clean-up of the site is joint and several among all PRPs. Therefore, the ultimate cost of the clean-up to the Company could be significantly higher than the amount presently estimated or accrued for this liability.
In connection with the acquisition of its Burrwood/West Delta fields, the Company secured a performance bond and established an escrow account to be used for the payment of obligations associated with the plugging and abandonment of the wells, salvage and removal of platforms and related equipment, and the site restoration of the fields. Required escrowed outlays included an initial cash payment of $750,000 and monthly cash payments of $70,000 beginning June 1, 2000 and continuing until June 1, 2005. The escrow agreement was amended in the fourth quarter of 2001 to suspend monthly cash payments and cap the escrow account at its current balance of $2,039,000.
On February 8, 2000, the Company commenced a suit against the operator and joint owner of the Lafitte field, alleging certain items of misconduct and violations of the agreements associated
15
primarily with the joint acquisition of and unfettered access to a license to 3-D seismic data over the field. The operator has counter-claimed against Goodrich on the grounds that Goodrich was obligated to post a bond to secure the plugging and abandonment obligations in the field. On November 1, 2002 the 125th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, ruled in favor of the Company stating (1) The Sale and Assignment between the Company and the operator assigned the same rights to the 3-D seismic data that the operator had pursuant to the operator’s data use license agreement from Texaco Exploration and Production, Inc.(“TEPI”); and (2) Also pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Assignment, Goodrich is required to post 49% of the bond liability to TEPI at such time that TEPI requests it. The Court has not determined whether TEPI has already issued the request that would require the Company to post 49% of the bond liability to TEPI. However, in a statement to the Court, TEPI stated that whatever may be the obligation between the operator and Goodrich regarding the requirement, if any, for Goodrich to post a bond in favor of the operator covering Goodrich’s P&A obligations, TEPI does not claim that it is entitled to any bond unless and until the operator’s total shareholder value (as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement between the operator and TEPI) falls below $80 million. The damages portion of the suit is ongoing and the trial is scheduled to commence on August 18, 2003. The ultimate outcome of this action is not expected to have a significantly adverse impact on the operations or financial position of the Company.
The Company is party to additional lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. The Company intends to defend these actions vigorously and believes, based on currently available information, that adverse results or judgments from such actions, if any, will not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes a description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and certain other detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with the following discussion.
Changes in Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2003 versus three months ended June 30, 2002
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $7,883,000 compared to $4,308,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Oil and gas sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $7,824,000 compared to $4,186,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This increase resulted from higher prices for oil and gas as well as an increase in gas production volumes, primarily due to two Burrwood/West Delta wells completed in the second half of 2002, partially offset by a decline in oil production volumes. These results reflect only 5 days production from the Company’s late June 2003 completion of an exploratory well on its Tunney prospect in the Burrwood/West Delta field. The following table presents the production volumes and pricing information for the comparative periods, with the average oil and gas prices reflecting the results of the Company’s commodity hedging program as further described under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Commodity Hedging Activity.”
| | Three months ended June 30, 2003
| | Three months ended June 30, 2002
|
| | Production
| | Average Price
| | Production
| | Average Price
|
Gas (Mcf) | | 748,113 | | $ | 6.16 | | 487,903 | | $ | 2.85 |
Oil (Bbls) | | 102,859 | | | 31.30 | | 113,400 | | | 24.63 |
Other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $58,000 compared to $122,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, with the decrease primarily due to a reduction in interest income.
Lease operating expense was $1,511,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 versus $2,039,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, with the decrease resulting from the Company’s ongoing efforts to reduce costs on its operated properties since replacing a contract operator in June 2002, partially offset by an increase in production volumes. Production taxes were $516,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $402,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, due to an increase in production volumes partially offset by a reduction in tax rates. Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense was $1,608,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 versus $1,248,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, with the
17
increase due to both higher production volumes and higher depletion rates. Exploration expense in the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $891,000 versus $315,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, due primarily to the Company recognizing dry hole cost of $575,000 related to an exploratory well in Australia which commenced drilling in March 2003 and was abandoned in April 2003.
General and administrative expenses amounted to $1,089,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2003 versus $1,377,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The most significant factor in this variance was a reduction in legal expenses partially offset by increases in insurance costs and other administrative expenses. Higher legal expenses in the second quarter of 2002 were associated with litigation against the operator of the Lafitte field involving a contract dispute.
Interest expense was $186,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $215,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, with the decrease primarily attributable to a lower effective interest rate in the 2003 period.
Six months ended June 30, 2003 versus six months ended June 30, 2002
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $14,961,000 compared to $9,008,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Oil and gas sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $14,572,000 compared to $8,878,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This increase resulted from higher prices for oil and gas as well as an increase in gas production volumes, primarily due to two Burrwood/West Delta wells completed in the second half of 2002, partially offset by a decline in oil production volumes. These results reflect only 5 days production from the Company’s late June 2003 completion of an exploratory well on its Tunney prospect in the Burrwood/West Delta field. The following table presents the production volumes and pricing information for the comparative periods, with the average oil and gas prices reflecting the results of the Company’s commodity hedging program as further described under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Commodity Hedging Activity.”
| | Six months ended June 30, 2003
| | Six months ended June 30, 2002
|
| | Production
| | Average Price
| | Production
| | Average Price
|
Gas (Mcf) | | 1,479,142 | | $ | 5.23 | | 1,220,085 | | $ | 2.76 |
Oil (Bbls) | | 213,625 | | | 31.98 | | 246,980 | | | 22.33 |
Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $390,000 compared to $129,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, with the increase primarily due to prospect fees received by the Company in the first quarter of 2003 on the sale of interests in its Spyglass II and Tunney drilling prospects.
Lease operating expense was $3,268,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $4,026,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, with the decrease due to the March 2002 sale of an interest in the Company’s Burrwood/West Delta fields (see below “Sale of Oil and
18
Gas Properties to Related Party”) as well as the Company’s ongoing efforts to reduce costs on its operated properties since replacing a contract operator in June 2002. Production taxes were $1,047,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $802,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, due to an increase in production volumes partially offset by a reduction in tax rates. Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense was $3,186,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $2,851,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, with the increase due to both higher production volumes and higher depletion rates. Exploration expense in the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1,445,000 versus $760,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, due primarily to the Company recognizing dry hole cost of $675,000 related to an exploratory well in Australia which commenced drilling in March 2003 and was abandoned in April 2003.
General and administrative expenses amounted to $2,627,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $2,220,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The most significant factors in this variance were a non-cash charge of $403,000 related to the February 2003 issuance of 125,157 shares of common stock in lieu of 1,016,500 cancelled stock options and a non-cash charge of $67,000 related to the initial vesting of 150,000 shares of restricted common stock, with a three year vesting period, that were issued in February 2003.
Interest expense was $422,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $532,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, with the decrease primarily attributable to a lower effective interest rate in the 2003 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $6,199,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $1,814,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. While net cash flow from operations, before changes in working capital, substantially increased in the six months ended June 30, 2003, net changes in current assets and current liabilities resulted in a $1,613,000 decrease in working capital in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to a $802,000 increase in working capital in the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Net cash used in investing activities was $10,389,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $10,923,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, capital expenditures totaled $10,672,000 as the Company participated in the drilling of five new wells in its Burrwood/West Delta and Lafitte fields (four of which were successfully completed). In the same period, the Company sold its interests in the South Drew field in Louisiana and a property in the Ackerly field in Texas for gross proceeds of $284,000. In the three months ended June 30, 2002, total capital expenditures were $1,980,000, which were more than offset by proceeds from property sales of $12,903,000, primarily due to the sale of an interest in the Company’s Burrwood/West Delta fields as further described below (see “Sale of Oil and Gas Properties to Related Party”).
Net cash provided by financing activities was $975,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $12,474,000 in the six months ended June
19
30, 2002. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, net borrowings under the Company’s senior credit facility provided cash of $1,500,000 toward funding of capital expenditures, while preferred stock dividends and production payments required cash of $535,000. In the six months ended June 30, 2002, net repayments under the Company’s senior credit facility reduced cash by $12,000,000, while preferred stock dividends and production payments required additional cash of $502,000. The cash resources for the net debt repayments in the six months ended June 30, 2002 were provided by the sale of an interest in the Company’s Burrwood/West Delta fields as further described below (see “Sale of Oil and Gas Properties to Related Party”).
For the full year 2003, the Company anticipates making capital expenditures totaling approximately $20 million, which will be primarily directed toward the drilling of up to fifteen gross wells. Subject to current economics and available financial resources, the Company expects to finance its capital expenditures out of operating cash flow and available bank credit, as further described below (see “Senior Credit Facility”).
Sale of Oil and Gas Properties to Related Party
On March 12, 2002, the Company monetized a portion of the value created in its Burrwood/West Delta fields by selling a thirty percent (30%) working interest in the existing production and shallow rights, and a fifteen percent (15%) working interest in the deep rights below 10,600 feet, in its Burrwood/West Delta fields for $12 million to Malloy Energy Company, LLC led by Patrick E. Malloy, III and participated in by Sheldon Appel, both members of the Company’s Board of Directors, as well as Josiah Austin, who subsequently became a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (Mr. Malloy is now Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors). The sale price was determined by discounting the present value of the acquired interest in the fields’ proved, probable and possible reserves using prevailing oil and gas prices. The Company retained an approximate sixty-five percent (65%) working interest in the existing production and shallow rights, and a thirty-two and one-half percent (32.5%) working interest in the deep rights after the close of the transaction. In conjunction with the sale, the investor group provided a $7.7 million line of credit. The $7.7 million line of credit, which reduced to $5.0 million on January 1, 2003, is subordinate to the Company’s senior credit facility and can be used for acquisitions, drilling, development and general corporate purposes until December 31, 2004. The investor group retains the option to convert the amount outstanding under the credit line, and/or provide cash on any unused credit to a maximum of $5.0 million through December 31, 2004, into working interests in any acquisition(s) the Company may make in Louisiana prior to January 1, 2005. The conversion of the credit facility will be on a pro-rata basis with the Company’s interest and may not exceed a maximum of $5.0 million through December 31, 2004, or thirty percent (30%) of any potential acquisition(s).
The Company recorded a non-recurring gain of approximately $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2002 as a result of the sale. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under its senior credit facility.
Senior Credit Facility
20
On November 9, 2001, the Company established a three-year $50,000,000 senior credit facility with BNP Paribas, with an initial borrowing base of $25,000,000, subject to periodic redetermination. The latest redetermination was performed as of June 4, 2003 and resulted in a borrowing base of $23,000,000. The Company anticipates that the next borrowing base redetermination will be performed in the third quarter of 2003 once BNP Paribas completes its evaluation of production information on several new oil and gas wells completed in the first and second quarters of 2003. The Company’s borrowings outstanding under the credit facility amounted to $20,000,000 as of June 30, 2003 and $21,000,000 as of August 12, 2003.
Interest on borrowings under the senior credit facility accrue at a rate calculated, at the option of the Company, as either the BNP Paribas base rate plus 0.00% to 0.50%, or LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.50%, depending on borrowing base utilization. Interest on LIBOR-rate borrowings is due and payable on the last day of its respective interest period. Accrued interest on each base-rate borrowing is due and payable on the last day of each quarter. The credit facility requires that the Company pay a 0.375% per annum commitment fee, payable in quarterly installments based on the Company’s borrowing base utilization. Prior to maturity, no payments are required so long as the maximum borrowing base amount exceeds the amounts outstanding under the credit facility. The credit facility requires the Company to monitor tangible net worth and maintain certain financial statement ratios at certain levels. Except for one financial covenant, for which the Company has obtained a waiver for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company is in compliance with all such requirements. Substantially all the Company’s assets are pledged to secure the senior credit facility.
In February 2003, the Company entered into three separate interest rate swaps with BNP Paribas covering a three year period as further described below (see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Debt and debt-related derivatives”).
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgements and uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has disclosed its critical accounting policies in its 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and this disclosure should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. Other than the change as described in the following paragraph, there have been no changes in these identified critical policies, nor have there been any initially adopted accounting policies having a material impact on reported financial results.
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record a liability equal to the fair value of the estimated cost to retire an asset. The asset retirement liability must be recorded in the periods in which the obligation meets the definition of a liability, which is generally when the asset is placed in service. As of January 1, 2003, the adoption of SFAS No. 143 resulted in
21
the Company recording a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the amount of $205,000. The estimation of the liability involves the projection of future costs to plug and abandon individual wells. These estimates are based on current costs inflated to the end of the well’s economic life and discounted back to the well’s origination date. The liability will be accreted at the estimated discount rate to the expected cash required to settle the liability. The estimate requires management’s judgment with respect to the future plugging and abandonment costs, the life of the well, and the inflation and discount factors used. Changes in these estimates can significantly impact the amount of the liability.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities. This statement (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, and (3) amends the definition of an underlying derivative to conform to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with all provisions applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 149 on its financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify an instrument that is within its scope as a liability. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had no financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 150.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Commodity Hedging Activity
The Company enters into futures contracts or other hedging agreements from time to time to manage the commodity price risk for a portion of its production. The Company considers these to be hedging activities and, as such, monthly settlements on these contracts are reflected in its oil and natural gas sales. The Company’s strategy, which is administered by the Hedging Committee of the Board of Directors, and reviewed periodically by the entire Board of Directors, has been to hedge between 30% and 70% of its production. A portion of the Company’s hedging arrangements are in the form of costless collars, whereby a floor and a ceiling are fixed. It is the Company’s belief that the benefits of the downside protection afforded by these costless collars outweigh the costs incurred by losing potential upside when commodity prices increase. The remainder of the hedges utilized by the Company are in the form of fixed price swaps, where the Company receives a fixed price and pays a floating price.
As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s open forward position on its outstanding natural gas and crude oil hedging contracts, all of which were with BNP Paribas, were as follows:
Natural Gas
3000 MMBtu per day with a no cost collar of $3.50 and $5.19 per Mmbtu for July through December 2003; and
3000 MMBtu per day “swap” at $4.06 for July 2003 through December 2003.
Crude Oil
300 barrels of oil per day “swap” at $28.47 for July 2003 through December 2003; and
200 barrels of oil per day “swap” at $29.32 for July 2003 through December 2003; and
200 barrels of oil per day “swap” at $29.97 for July 2003 through December 2003
The fair value of the natural gas and oil hedging contracts in place at June 30, 2003, resulted, in a liability of $1,036,000. The hedging contracts summarized above represent approximately 47% of the Company’s estimated net oil and gas production volumes for the remainder of 2003. Based on oil and gas pricing in effect at June 30, 2003, a hypothetical 2% increase or decrease in oil and gas prices would not have had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Debt and Debt-Related Derivatives
In February 2003, the Company entered into three separate interest rate swaps with BNP Paribas covering a three year period. The first interest rate swap, which has an effective date of February 26, 2003 and a maturity date of February 26, 2004 is for $18,000,000 with a LIBOR swap rate of 1.53%. The second interest rate swap, which has an effective date of February 26, 2004 and a maturity date of November 8, 2004, is for $18,000,000 with a LIBOR swap rate of 2.25%. The third interest rate swap, which has an effective date of November 8, 2004 and a maturity date of
23
February 26, 2006, is for $18,000,000 with a LIBOR swap rate of 3.46%. The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts in place at June 30, 2003, resulted in a liability of $415,000.
Price Fluctuations and the Volatile Nature of Markets
Despite the measures taken by the Company to attempt to control price risk, the Company remains subject to price fluctuations for natural gas and oil sold in the spot market. Prices received for natural gas sold on the spot market are volatile due primarily to seasonality of demand and other factors beyond the Company’s control. Domestic oil and gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statement
Certain statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q regarding future expectations and plans for future activities may be regarded as “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They are subject to various risks, such as financial market conditions, operating hazards, drilling risks and the inherent uncertainties in interpreting engineering data relating to underground accumulations of oil and gas, as well as other risks discussed in detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
24
Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the direction of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has established controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to the officers who certify the company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2003, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of June 30, 2003 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Goodrich Petroleum Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation.
