This section should be read in conjunction with Notes 6 and 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing.
For the first nine months of 2003, net cash provided by operations was $7.1 million, compared with $1.6 million for the year-ago period. We continually review the operating results of each of our properties. When we determine properties are underperforming, we attempt remediation and subsequently liquidate them if necessary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we received $0.4 million in proceeds from sales of property and equipment. We expect that cash flow provided by operating activities for the remaining three months of 2003 will be approximately $2.0 million.
We currently have two senior borrowing facilities. First, we have a revolving credit facility with Bank of Texas (the "Texas Facility"), which had permitted borrowings of $17.3 million at September 30, 2003. We are required to make monthly principal payments of $150,000 under the Texas Facility until amended. Accordingly, we have included $1.8 million in the current portion of long-term debt on the balance sheet.
We also have a revolving credit facility with Barclays Bank, Plc (the "Barclays Facility"). Under the Barclays Facility, we had $12.2 million outstanding at September 30, 2003. Barclays previously advised us that it intended to withdraw from the reserve-based lending business and that an absent assumption by third-party lender, we will not be allowed to borrow any additional funds under the Barclays Facility. As a result of this change in direction and the existence of various technical defaults under the Barclays Facility, in 2003 we entered into various waiver agreements with Barclays. Pursuant to the terms of the curent Amendment Agreement to the Barclays Facility, we are required to make monthly principal payments through August 2004 equal to the available net cash flow after expenses of our international operations. We are also required to make fee payments monthly in the amount of $25,000 out of international cash flow pursuant to the terms of the Management and Work Fee Letter dated May 19, 2003. Pursuant to the terms of the current Amendment Agreement, Barclays will conduct a borrowing base review in January 2004. If at that borrowing base review, the ratio of relevant net present value to total indebtedness is less than 1.5;1, it will be an event of default under the Barclays Facility.
Pursuant to the terms of the waiver agreements previously entered into in 2003, we have issued to Barclays warrants that are currently exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share and issued an additional warrant that is exercisable after April 13, 2004 to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.52 per share. These warrants have certain registration rights. Under the terms of the Warrant Buyback Letter dated May 19, 2003, Toreador is required to buy the 500,000 outstanding warrants back from Barclays for the sum of $100,000. The buyback is predicated on the final settlement of all obligations relating to the Barclays Facility. Per the terms of the Settlement Fee Letter dated May 19, 2003, we have also agreed to make a final settlement payment of $925,000, less the sum of all payments made to Barclays for interim fees before the final settlement that will be due at the time we extinguish the Barclays Facility. We have also agreed, among other items, to apply certain amounts that may be received by Toreador for the Turkish registered capital repatriation to the repayment of the Barclays Facility. During the first nine months of 2003, we used $2.4 million of our available cash flow to reduce the amounts outstanding under the Barclays Facility.
We have diligently explored and are continuing to explore alternatives to refinance all or part of our existing capital structure, including the Barclays Facility. We are evaluating a number of alternatives to provide funds necessary for the extinguishment of the Barclays Facility, including a structured financing or bridge financing to be provided by a third party, a possible sale of additional equity or debt, and a potential sale of a portion of our U.S. or French assets. Our intent is that the Barclays Facility will be extinguished in less than twelve months. Accordingly, we have included the entire balance owed to Barclays, $12.2 million, in the current portion of long-term debt on the balance sheet. However, no assurance can be given that any of these alternatives will be available as a means of discharging the Barclays Facility and providing additional working capital.
Toreador had 160,000 shares of nonvoting Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at September 30, 2003. At the option of the holder, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into common shares at a price of $4.00 per common share (conversion would amount to 1,000,000 Toreador common shares). The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accrues dividends at an annual rate of $2.25 per share payable quarterly in cash. At any time after December 1, 2004, we may elect to redeem for cash any or all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The optional redemption price per share is the sum of (1) $25.00 per share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock plus (2) any accrued unpaid dividends, and such sum is multiplied by a declining multiplier. The multiplier is 105% until November 30, 2005, 104% until November 30, 2006, 103% until November 30, 2007, 102% until November 30, 2008, 101% until November 30, 2009, and 100% thereafter.
In November 2002 we issued 37,000 shares of nonvoting Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. An additional 40,000 shares were issued in the third quarter of 2003 along with 34,000 shares in October 2003. The 34,000 shares issued in October 2003 were issued to William I. Lee, a Toreador director, and Wilco Properties, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Lee. At the option of the holder, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into common shares at a price of $4.00 per common share (conversion would amount to an aggregate of 693,750 Toreador common shares). The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock accrues dividends at an annual rate of $2.25 per share payable quarterly in cash. At any time on or after November 1, 2007, we may elect to redeem for cash any or all shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The optional redemption price per share is the sum of (1) $25.00 per share of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock plus (2) any accrued unpaid dividends, and such sum is multiplied by a declining multiplier. The multiplier is 105% until October 31, 2008, 104% until October 31, 2009, 103% until October 31, 2010, 102% until October 31, 2011, 101% until October 31, 2012, and 100% thereafter.

We anticipate that our 2003 capital expenditures budget, excluding any acquisitions we may make, will be approximately $5.0 million. Capital expenditures through September 30, 2003 were $4.3 million. We intend to fund our capital expenditures budget from operating cash flow. We will continue to spend most of our 2003 capital budget on prospects in our inventory as a result of the acquisition of Madison (the "Merger"). We will limit our activity in France to remedial work on our existing properties. In Turkey, we anticipate exploration work will continue on several projects.
We expect to receive future funds through production from existing producing properties and new producing properties that may be discovered through exploration, along with development properties added to existing fields. In addition to the properties described above, we also may acquire other producing oil and gas assets, which could require the use of debt, including the Texas Facility or other forms of financing.
Dividends on our common stock may be declared and paid out of funds legally available when and as determined by our board of directors. Our policy is to hold and invest corporate funds on a conservative basis, and, thus, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, under the terms of the Texas Facility we are prohibited from paying dividends over $100,000 without prior consent from Bank of Texas, National Association (other than dividends payable in shares of common stock). The terms of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock prohibit us from paying dividends on the common stock without the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.
Dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are paid quarterly. Cash dividends totaling $346,626 and $270,000 were paid for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The first 37,000 shares of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were issued on November 1, 2002, and an additional 40,000 and 34,000 shares of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were issued in the third quarter 2003 and October 2003, respectively. Future dividends will be paid in cash at the rate of $152,438 per full calendar quarter. We are prohibited from paying dividends over $100,000 without the consent of the Bank of Texas, National Association. Thus, approval will be required prior to the payment of the above-mentioned dividends.
We believe that sufficient funds will be available from operating cash flow to meet anticipated capital requirements for fiscal 2003. The following table sets forth our contractual obligations in thousands at September 30, 2003 for the periods shown:

REVENUES
Oil and gas sales.Third-quarter 2003 oil and gas sales of $6.3 million rose 8%, or $479,000, compared with oil and gas sales of $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2002. Higher oil and gas prices accounted for the increase. The decline in production was due to the temporary loss of producing wells in which we have interests, as well as property sales during the last six months of 2002. Revenues from the sold properties were included in oil and gas sales for the third quarter of 2002. The production decrease was offset by higher oil and gas prices. The average realized gas price in the third quarter of 2003 was $4.68 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) versus $2.66 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2002. The average realized oil price for the third quarter of 2003 was $27.17 per barrel versus $24.04 per barrel for the year-ago period.
Gain (loss) on commodity derivatives. We utilize commodity derivative instruments as part of our risk management program. These transactions are generally structured as either swaps or collar contracts. A swap has the effect of an outright sale at a specific price. A collar has the effect of creating a sale only if the price falls below a floor price or exceeds a ceiling price. These instruments (i) reduce the effect of the price fluctuations of the commodities we produce and sell; (ii) support our annual capital budgeting and expenditure plans; (iii) protect the amounts required for servicing outstanding debt; and (iv) maximize the funds available under our existing credit facilities. The trading party that represents the other side of each of these transactions is known as a “counterparty.” The counterparty of our United States transactions is Coral Energy Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of Royal Dutch/Shell. The counterparty of our French transactions is Barclays Capital. During the third quarter of 2003, we had an unrealized gain of approximately $888,000 related to hedging activity, as well as realized losses of approximately $244,000. During the third quarter of 2002, we had an unrealized loss of $304,000 and a realized loss of $824,000. As noted above, we have structured our commodity derivatives to reduce the effect of price fluctuations of the commodities we produce and sell. As a result, these derivatives decline in value as the underlying commodity prices rise. Any losses incurred on derivatives are offset by higher actual oil and gas sales revenues due to increased prices for the products. See Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing for more details.
17
Lease bonuses and rentals. Third-quarter 2003 lease bonuses and rentals were $99,000, declining $21,000 from third-quarter 2002 lease bonuses and rentals of $120,000. The decrease was due to reduced leasing activity on the minerals we own.
EXPENSES
Lease operating. Lease operating expenses increased $585,000, or 32%, due to workover expenses in France along with an adjustment made to reclassify Turkish production taxes as lease operating expense rather then a deduction from oil and gas sales.
Exploration and acquisition. Exploration and acquisition expenses for the third quarter of 2003 were $413,000, 57% higher than exploration and acquisition expenses of $263,000 in the third quarter of 2002 due to increased evaluation activity on our prospects in Turkey.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Third-quarter 2003 depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased $432,000, or 30%, from the third quarter of 2002 due to the sale of U.S. properties in the last six months of 2002 along with a lower unit of production rate than that used in 2002.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $560,000, or 32%, for the third quarter of 2003 compared with the third quarter of 2002. A large portion of the general and administrative expense costs in the third quarter of 2002 was attributable to the Madison Merger. Overall general and administrative costs were lower on a quarterly comparative basis due to a reduction in overhead. One of management’s primary objectives is to continue to reduce expenses.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Other income and expense resulted in a net charge to expense of $326,000 for the third quarter of 2003 versus a net charge to expense of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2002. Net expense decreased $1.2 million primarily due to a gain on property sales of $70,000 in the third quarter of 2003 versus a loss of $1.1 million from the sale of properties in the same period of 2002.
NET INCOME (LOSS) AVAILABLE TO COMMON SHARES
For the third quarter of 2003, we reported net income before taxes of $1.7 million, compared with a net loss before taxes of $2.0 million for the same period of 2002. Third-quarter 2003 income applicable to common shares was $946,000 versus a loss applicable to common shares of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2002.
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
This item should be read in conjunction with Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing.
The most significant element of comprehensive income, other than net income (loss), is foreign currency translation. The functional currency of our operations in France is the Euro, and in Turkey the functional currency is the Turkish Lira. The exchange rates used to translate the financial position of those operations at September 30, 2003, were approximately US$1.151 per Euro and US$0.73 per million Turkish Lira. The Euro rate at June 30, 2003, was US$1.144 per Euro and US$0.71 per million Turkish Lira. These fluctuations caused an unrealized gain of $360,000 for the third quarter of 2003 versus an unrealized loss of $657,000 for the same period of 2002.

REVENUES
Oil and gas sales.Oil and gas sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, rose 13%, or $2.3 million, compared with the same period of 2002. The increase was due to higher oil and gas prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, oil and gas sales were $19.7 million versus $17.4 million for the same period of 2002. The average realized oil prices for the first nine months of 2003 was $26.35 per barrel compared with $21.88 per barrel for the year-earlier period. The average realized gas price for the first nine months of 2003 was $5.01 per Mcf versus $2.89 per Mcf for the first nine months of 2002. For the nine-month 2003 period, overall production declined, the result of the temporary loss of producing wells in which we have interests, natural decline and property sales during the last six months of 2002. Revenues from the sold properties were included in oil and gas sales for the first nine months of 2002.
Gain (loss) on commodity derivatives. We utilize commodity derivative instruments as part of our risk management program. These transactions are generally structured as either swaps or collar contracts. A swap has the effect of an outright sale at a specific price. A collar has the effect of creating a sale only if the price falls below a floor price or exceeds a ceiling price. These instruments (i) reduce the effect of price fluctuations of the commodities we produce and sell; (ii) support our annual capital budgeting and expenditure plans; (iii) protect the amounts required for servicing outstanding debt; and (iv) maximize funds available under our existing credit facilities. The trading party that represents the other side of each of these transactions is known as a “counterparty.” The counterparty of our United States transactions is Coral Energy Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of Royal Dutch/Shell. The counterparty of our French transactions is Barclays Capital. During the first nine months of 2003, we had an unrealized loss of approximately $16,000 related to hedging activity, as well as realized losses of approximately $1.5 million. During the first nine months of 2002, we had an unrealized loss of $2.4 million and a realized loss of $1.2 million. As noted above, we have structured our commodity derivatives to reduce the effect of price fluctuations of the commodities we produce and sell. As a result, these derivatives decline in value as the underlying commodity prices rise. Any losses incurred on derivatives are offset by higher actual oil and gas sales revenues due to increased prices for the products. See Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing for more details.
19
Lease bonuses and rentals. Nine-month 2003 lease bonuses and rentals were $303,000, declining $318,000 from nine-month 2002 lease bonuses and rentals of $621,000. The decrease was due to a decline in leasing activity on the minerals we own.
EXPENSES
Lease operating. For the first nine months of 2003, lease operating expenses increased $282,000, or 5%, compared with the same period in 2002 due to increased workover costs in France.
Exploration and acquisition. Exploration and acquisition expenses for the first nine months of 2003 rose $100,000 to $812,000 from $712,000 for the first nine months of 2002. The increase was due to greater activity in Turkey and Romania.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses for the first nine months of 2003 decreased $1.7 million, or 36%, compared with the year-ago period due to the sale of U.S. properties in the last six months of 2002 along with a lower unit of production rate than that used in 2002.
Reduction in force. In June 2003, Toreador reduced its staff by two engineers, one geologist and one part-time employee. Total severance expense was $466,000.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 21%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2002. A large portion of the general and administrative costs in 2002 was attributable to the Madison Merger. During the first nine months of 2003, legal fees decreased $299,000, professional fees decreased $288,000, and shareholder relations costs decreased $109,000. Salaries declined $368,000 for the first nine months of 2003 versus the first nine months of 2002 due to a reduction in overhead. Management considers further reduction of general and administrative costs to be a high priority.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Other income and expense resulted in a net charge to expense of $289,000 for the first nine months of 2003 versus a net charge to expense of $3.5 million for the year-ago period. Net expense decreased $3.2 million primarily due to a gain on property sales of $138,000 for the first nine months of 2003, compared with a $2.1 million loss for the year-earlier period. The remainder of the decrease resulted from foreign currency transaction gains on Barclays Facility payments in U.S. dollars while the Euro increased in value during the period.
20
NET INCOME (LOSS) AVAILABLE TO COMMON SHARES
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net income before taxes was $3.9 million, compared with a net loss before taxes of $5.4 million for the same period of 2002. For the first nine months of 2003, income applicable to common shares was $2.1 million versus a loss applicable to common shares of $3.8 million for the same period of 2002.
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
This item should be read in conjunction with Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing.
The most significant element of comprehensive income, other than net income (loss), is foreign currency translation. The functional currency of our operations in France is the Euro, and in Turkey the functional currency is the Turkish Lira. The exchange rates used to translate the financial position of those operations at September 30, 2003, were approximately US$1.151 per Euro and US$0.73 per million Turkish Lira. The Euro rate at December 31, 2002, was US$1.0483 per Euro and US$0.62 per million Turkish Lira. These fluctuations resulted in an unrealized gain of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, versus an unrealized loss of $183,000 for the same period of 2002.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes from the information provided in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within required time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
21
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material changes to the information reported under Part II. Other Information, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings since our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
From time to time, we are named as a defendant in other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In our opinion, the final judgment, or settlement, if any, which may be awarded with any other suits or claims would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
ITEM 2 – CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Since July 1, 2003, pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we have issued the following equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On July 26, August 13 and October 20, 2003, 20,000, 20,000 and 34,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were issued for an aggregate of $1,850,000, to James R. Anderson, Karen Anderson and William I. Lee/Wilco Properties, Inc., respectively. At the option of the holder, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into common shares at a price of $4.00 per common share (conversion of the 74,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock would amount to 462,500 Toreador common shares). The $4.00 conversion price was higher than the market price of our common stock at the time of issuances. The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock accrues dividends at an annual rate of $2.25 per share payable quarterly in cash. At any time on or after November 1, 2007, we may elect to redeem for cash any or all shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The optional redemption price per share is the sum of (1) $25.00 per share of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock plus (2) any accrued unpaid dividends, and such sum is multiplied by a declining multiplier. The multiplier is 105% until October 31, 2008, 104% until October 31, 2009, 103% until October 31, 2010, 102% until October 31, 2011, 101% until October 31, 2012, and 100% thereafter. In connection with the securities purchase agreements, the parties entered into registration rights agreements pursuant to which the holder has the right to register for resale the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock if we register certain of our securities.
The terms of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock prohibit us from paying dividends on our common stock without the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.
ITEM 3 – DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES – None.
