The Company’s financial and operating performance since the end of the first quarter of 2004 included the following highlights:
The Company recorded net income of $1.2 million ($0.11 per diluted share) for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to net income of $445,000 ($0.05 per diluted share) for the same period in 2003. Net income applicable to common shares increased by $710,000 during the second quarter of 2004, as compared to that of the second quarter of 2003.
This section should be read in conjunction with Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing.
For the first six months of 2004, net cash used in operations was $3.1 million, compared with $3.8 million provided by operations for the year-ago period. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we received $42.0 million in proceeds from sales of property and equipment, net of expenses. We expect that cash flow provided by operating income, plus depreciation, for the remaining six months of 2004 will be approximately $5.0 million.
Index At the end of 2003, we had two senior borrowing facilities. The Bank of Texas facility (the “Texas Facility”) had borrowings outstanding of approximately $17.0 million at December 31, 2003. We discharged the Texas Facility in January 2004.
The revolving credit facility with Barclays Bank, Plc (the “Barclays Facility”) had approximately $11.8 million in borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2003. We also discharged the Barclays Facility in January 2004. Under the terms of the Warrant Buyback Letter dated May 19, 2003, we were required to buyback 500,000 outstanding warrants from Barclays for the sum of $100,000 upon final settlement of the Barclays Facility. Additionally, we were required to make a final settlement payment of $925,000 less the amounts of any payments made to Barclays for interim fees due before the final settlement under the terms of the Settlement Fee Letter dated May 19, 2003. The settlement payment amount after deduction of the interim fees paid to Barclays was approximately $806,000.
In July 2004, we sold to certain institutional investors pursuant to a private offering $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due June 30, 2009. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.85% per annum and are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $8.20 per share. The Company may force conversion of the Notes on or after January 22, 2005, if the closing price of Toreador’s common stock is greater than $14.35 for the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Company’s conversion notice. Toreador may also elect to prepay the Notes at any time for the outstanding principal amount plus a 2% premium and accrued and unpaid interest and the issuance of warrants exercisable into the same number of shares of common stock as the Notes were convertible into before the prepayment and retirement of the Notes at an exercise price equal to the conversion price immediately prior to the prepayment and retirement of the Notes. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering to accelerate our oil development program in France’s Paris Basin and for general corporate purposes.
Toreador had 160,000 shares of nonvoting Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at June 30, 2004. 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.
Toreador had 160,000 shares of nonvoting Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at June 30, 2004. 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 1,000,000 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.
As part of our acquisition of Madison in 2001, we indirectly assumed a convertible debenture (“Debenture”) in the amount of $2.16 million payable to PHD Partners LP and due on March 31, 2006. The general partner of PHD Partners LP is a corporation wholly owned by David M. Brewer, a director and significant stockholder of Toreador. The original Debenture bore interest at 10% per annum. As of March 31, 2004, the Debenture was amended and restated to bear interest at 6% per annum, eliminate our right under certain circumstances to force a conversion of the principal into shares of our common stock and eliminate our ability to repay principal prior to maturity. At the holders’ option, the Debenture can be converted into common stock at a ratio of $6.75 per share. We have 319,962 common shares reserved for issuance related to the conversion of the Debenture.

Index We anticipate that our 2004 capital expenditures budget, excluding any acquisitions we may make, will be approximately $10.0 to $13.0 million. Capital expenditures through June 30, 2004 were $5.8 million. We intend to fund any remaining amounts to be funded under our capital expenditures budget from operating cash flow and cash currently on hand. We anticipate spending most of our remaining 2004 capital budget on prospects in our foreign inventory. We will limit our activity in France to workovers and development drilling on our existing properties and exploration work on the Courtenay permit. In Turkey, we anticipate continuing exploration work on several projects, including our first exploratory well in the western Black Sea, which began drilling in early July.
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 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. 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. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends on the common stock without the approval of holders of a majority of the then outstanding Notes.
Dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are paid quarterly. Cash dividends totaling $360,000 and $221,626 were paid for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Future dividends will be paid in cash at the rate of $180,000 per full calendar quarter. Interest on the Notes is paid quarterly. No interest was paid as of June 30, 2004 since the Notes were issued as of July 22, 2004. Future interest will be paid at the rate of $147,188 per full calendar quarter.
We believe that sufficient funds will be available from operating cash flow, cash on hand and future potential financing sources (which may include senior debt, subordinated debt and/or equity) to meet anticipated capital budget requirements and fund potential acquisitions in 2004.

REVENUES
Oil and gas sales.Oil and natural gas sales increased by $1.1 million from second quarter 2003 to second quarter 2004. French production increased due to completed workovers, while U.S. revenue decreased due to the Royalty Sale and Turkish production decreased due to natural decline. For the second quarter 2004, sales were $5.2 million versus $4.1 million in the second quarter 2003. The average realized oil price for the second quarter of 2004 was $32.03 per barrel versus $24.42 per barrel for the year-ago period. The average realized gas price in the second quarter of 2004 was $5.78 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) versus $5.01 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2003.
Loss on commodity derivatives. We utilize commodity derivative instruments as part of our risk management program. These commodity derivatives are not designated as hedges. 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 reduce the effect of the price fluctuations of the commodities we produce and sell and support our annual capital budget and expenditure plans. When we had our senior credit facilities, these instruments protected the amounts required for servicing outstanding debt and maximized the funds available under those 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. Currently we do not have any commodity derivative instruments for our foreign production.
During the second quarter of 2004, we had an unrealized gain of approximately $359,000 related to hedging activity, as well as realized losses of approximately $409,000. During the second quarter of 2003, we had an unrealized loss of approximately $358,000 and a realized loss of $155,000. 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. Higher actual oil and gas sales revenues due to increased prices for the products offset any losses incurred on derivatives.
16
Index Lease bonuses and rentals. We had no lease bonuses and rentals for the second quarter of 2004 or the second quarter of 2003.
EXPENSES
Lease operating. Lease operating expenses increased $41,000, or 3%, due to continuing workover expenses in France and the U.S.
Exploration and acquisition. Exploration and acquisition expenses for the second quarter of 2004 were $324,000, 31% higher than exploration and acquisition expenses of $247,000 in the second quarter of 2003 due to increased evaluation activity on prospects in the United States.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Second-quarter 2004 depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased $234,000, or 41%, compared with the same period last year due to a one-time adjustment to DD&A in the second quarter of 2003 that caused the expense to be lower than normal.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $113,000, or 10%, for the second quarter of 2004 compared with the second quarter of 2003. The quarter-to-quarter increase is the result of $466,000 of 2003 general and administrative costs being allocated to income from discontinued operations. The total costs, including amounts classified as discontinued operations, were $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2004 compared with $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2003. Overall general and administrative costs were lower on a quarterly comparative basis.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Other income and expense resulted in a net charge to expense of $82,000 for the second quarter of 2004 versus a net credit to income of $523,000 for the second quarter of 2003. Other income decreased $605,000, or 116%, from the second quarter of 2003, primarily due to realized foreign currency exchange gains on payments made towards the Barclays Facility. The Euro increased in value compared with the U.S. dollar during the second quarter of 2003.

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
This item should be read in conjunction with Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing.
The most significant element of comprehensive income, other than net income, is foreign currency translation. The functional currency of our operations in France is the Eurodollar and in Turkey, the functional currency is the Turkish lira. The exchange rates used to translate the financial position of those operations at June 30, 2004, were approximately US$1.23 per Eurodollar and US$0.67 per million Turkish lira. The exchange rates at March 31, 2004, were US$1.22 per Eurodollar and US$0.76 per million Turkish lira.

REVENUES
Oil and gas sales.Oil and natural gas sales decreased by $42,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the first six months of 2003. French production decreased due to needed workovers, and U.S. production decreased due to the Royalty Sale in January 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, sales were $9.4 million versus $9.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The average realized oil price for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $30.74 per barrel versus $27.16 per barrel for the year-ago period. The average realized gas price in the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $5.77 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) versus $5.43 per Mcf in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Index Lease bonuses and rentals. Lease bonuses and rentals were $14,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2003.
EXPENSES
Lease operating. Lease operating expenses were $365,000 higher, or 12%, due to continuing workover expenses in France and the U.S. along with the increase in value of the Eurodollar against the U.S. dollar since the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Exploration and acquisition. Exploration and acquisition expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $552,000, 38% higher than exploration and acquisition expenses of $399,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 due to increased evaluation activity on prospects in the United States and Turkey.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 rose $81,000, or 5%, due to additions to oil and gas properties since 2003.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $658,000, or 33%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003. The year-to-year increase is the result of the reclassification of $1.1 million of 2003 general and administrative costs as a charge against income from discontinued operations. Total costs, including amounts classified as discontinued operations, were $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Overall general and administrative costs were lower on a period-to-period comparative basis.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Other income and expense resulted in a net credit to income of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 versus a net credit to income of $358,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Other income increased $3.5 million primarily due to a realized foreign currency exchange gain. The gain related to the increase in value of the Eurodollar against the U.S. dollar in connection with the discharge of the Barclays Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

As of December 31, 2003, we had accumulated an unrealized gain of $4.9 million due to the Barclays Facility being denominated in U.S. dollars; whereas the functional currency of our operations in France is the Eurodollar. In the first quarter 2004, we converted this gain from unrealized to realized due to the repayment of the facility. In Turkey, the functional currency is the Turkish lira. The exchange rates used to translate the financial position of those operations at June 30, 2004, were approximately US$1.22 per Eurodollar and US$0.67 per million Turkish lira. The exchange rates at June 30, 2003, were US$1.14 per Eurodollar and US$0.71 per million Turkish lira.

IndexITEM 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, 2003.
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 the 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 in all material respects 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 reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

IndexPART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material changes to the information reported under Item 3 – Legal Proceedings of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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
In July 2004, we sold to certain institutional investors pursuant to a private offering $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due June 30, 2009. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.85% per annum and are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $8.20 per share. The Company may force conversion of the Notes on or after January 22, 2005, if the closing price of Toreador’s common stock is greater than $14.35 for the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Company’s conversion notice. Toreador may also elect to prepay the Notes at any time for the outstanding principal amount plus a 2% premium and accrued and unpaid interest and the issuance of warrants exercisable into the same number of shares of common stock as the Notes were convertible into before the prepayment and retirement of the Notes at an exercise price equal to the conversion price immediately prior to the prepayment and retirement of the Notes. The sale was made to accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering to accelerate our oil development program in France’s Paris Basin and for general corporate purposes.
In addition, in July 2004, pursuant to our engagement letters with our investment bankers, we issued to our investment bankers warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 40,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.20 per share. The warrants were issued to accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
ITEM 3 – DEFAULT UPON SENIOR SECURITIES – None
ITEM 4 – SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
We submitted a proxy statement to the Company’s stockholders as of the record date, April 2, 2004. The proxy statement was furnished to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 20, 2004.
