MADISON OIL COMPANY
(Formerly Trans-Dominion Energy Corporation)
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Madison Oil Company (formerly Trans-Dominion Energy Corporation)
Dallas, Texas
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Madison Oil Company as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on the audit.
I have conducted my audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and Canada. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Madison Oil Company as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in note 12 to the financial statements, Madison Oil Company initially recorded the purchase of ARCO Turkey, Inc. on the effective date of September 1, 2000. Subsequently it was determined that the acquisition should have been recorded on February 20, 2001. The December 31, 2000 financial statements have been restated to reflect this change.

MADISON OIL COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: Business Activities:
Madison Oil Company (Formerly Trans-Dominion Energy Corporation), a Delaware Corporation, is an independent international exploration and production company with its head office in Dallas, Texas. The Company's principal business activity is acquiring and developing international oil and gas properties. Currently, the Company holds interests in developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties in the Paris Basin, France, the Cendere and Zeynel Fields in Turkey and the Bonasse Field and Southwest Cedros Peninsula License in Trinidad.
NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of Consolidation
THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE THE ACCOUNTS OF MADISON OIL COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES. ALL SIGNIFICANT INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS AND ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED.
Subsidiaries
All subsidiaries are wholly owned unless a percentage is noted in parenthesis. Each subsidiary is presented below.
Madison Oil Company (formerly Trans-Dominion Energy), (Delaware): Subsidiary, Madison (Turkey), Inc., (formerly Tur-Kan), (Delaware) Subsidiary, Trinidad Exploration & Development Ltd., (UK) Subsidiary, Petresearch International, Inc. Subsidiary, Storevital Ltd. (formerly Petresearch Ltd.) Subsidiary, Petresearch, Ltd. (formerly Storevital) (15%) Subsidiary, Trans-Dominion Holdings, Ltd. Subsidiary, Madison Petroleum, Inc., (formerly Madison Oil Company), (Delaware)
Trans-Dominion Holdings, Ltd.: Subsidiary, Trinidad Exploration & Development Ltd., (Trinidad) (25%) Subsidiary, Karak Petroleum, (Pakistan)
Madison Petroleum, Inc.: Subsidiary, Madison Oil Company Europe (Delaware)
Madison Oil Company Europe: Subsidiary, Madison Oil France, SA (France)
Madison Oil France, SA: Subsidiary Partnership, Madison/Chart Energy, SCS (France) (62.2%)
Madison accounts for its investments in entities in which it holds less than a majority interest under the equity method.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in consolidated net income.
Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments such as money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The funds are placed with major financial institutions.
Office Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
These assets are stated at the Company's cost and depreciated on an accelerated basis over five to seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred, while major improvements are capitalized.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development expenditures. Under this method, costs of successful exploratory wells and all development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves are expensed. In the absence of a determination as to whether the reserves that have been found can be classified as proved, Madison carries the costs of drilling such an exploratory well as an asset for no more than one year following completion of drilling. If, after that year has passed, a determination that proved reserves have been found cannot be made, Madison assumes that the well is impaired, and charges its costs to expense. Significant costs associated with the acquisition of oil and gas properties are capitalized. Upon sale or abandonment of units of property or the disposition of miscellaneous equipment, the cost is removed from the asset account, the related reserves relieved of the accumulated depreciation or depletion and the gain or loss is credited to or charged against operations.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of- production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense; betterments of property are capitalized and depreciated as described below.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
The Company provides for depreciation, depletion and amortization of its investment in producing oil and gas properties on the unit-of-production method, based upon independent reserve engineers' estimates of recoverable oil and gas reserves from the property.
Income Taxes
The Company computes income tax expense using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted law. The effects of future changes in tax laws and rates are not anticipated.
Stock-Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ("SFAS 123") "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require, the adoption of a fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation transactions. The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("Opinion 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, in accounting for its employee stock-based compensation plans. Under Opinion 25, compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant above the amount an employer must pay to acquire the stock.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. The disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period are also given. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reconciliation of United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to Canadian GAAP
The accompanying financial statements are expressed in United States dollars and stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). There are no differences between U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP that have a significant effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Interim Reporting
The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, included herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise identified. Results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2001.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2001, Madison adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. Since Madison had no outstanding derivative financial instruments at January 1, 2001, there was no impact on Madison's financial position or results of operation as the result of adopting Statement 133.
On August 15, 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. Initiated in 1994 as a project to account for the costs of nuclear decommissioning, the FASB expanded the scope to include similar closure or removal-type costs in other industries that are incurred at any time during the life of an asset. That standard requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. Accordingly, Madison will adopt this standard on January 1, 2003. Madison has not completed the process of determining the impact of adopting the standard.
On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (Statement 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142), Statement 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. Statement 141 further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. The requirements of Statement 141 are effective for any business combination accounted for by the purchase method that is completed after June 30, 2001 (i.e., the acquisition date is July 1, 2001 or after).
Under Statement 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of Statement 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, companies are required to adopt Statement 142 in their fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001 (i.e., January 1, 2002, for calendar year companies). On October 5, 2001, the FASB issued a final statement on asset impairment (Statement 144) that is applicable to financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 (January 2002 for calendar year-end companies). The FASB's new rules on asset impairment supersede FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and provide a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. Although retaining many of the fundamental recognition and measurement provisions of Statement 121, the new rules significantly change the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. This distinction is important because assets held-for-sale are stated at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts and depreciation is no longer recognized. The new rules also supersede the provisions of APB Opinion 30 with regard to reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business and require expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred (rather than as of the measurement date as presently required by APB 30). In addition, more dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the income statement. Madison is still evaluating the impact of adopting Statement 144.
Note 3: Derivative Financial Instruments:
Madison employs a policy of hedging a portion of its oil production in order to mitigate the price risk between NYMEX prices and actual receipt prices. As of September 30, 2001, Madison has hedged a portion of its oil price risk with a swap contract that provides a fixed price (Madison pays the floating price and receives the fixed price). At June 30, 2001, Madison had a swap contract covering 22,500 Bbls of production per month from January 2002 through December 2002, at a fixed price $22.48 per barrel. As of September 30, 2001, the fair value of the contract was an unrealized gain of $5,000. Such gain has been recorded in interest income and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and the related asset is included in other assets on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2001. Madison has designated the contract as a derivative financial instrument and accordingly, recognizes changes in the fair value of the swap as a current period revenue or expense in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and No. 138, "Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities."
Note 4: Purchase Business Combination:
During the current year, Madison Petroleum, Inc. (formerly Madison Oil Company) executed a share purchase agreement with Madison Oil Company (formerly Trans-Dominion Energy Corporation). Under the terms of the agreement, Trans-Dominion (a Canadian Corporation) was continued into the State of Delaware under the Delaware Act. Contemporaneously with the continuance, the corporate name of the Corporation was changed to Madison Oil Company. On the closing date, Madison Oil Company (formerly Trans-Dominion) issued common shares to the Madison Petroleum shareholders as consideration for the purchase of all the issued and outstanding shares of Madison Petroleum common stock. At the conclusion of the transaction, the Madison Petroleum shareholders owned approximately 88% of Madison Oil Company common shares and the former Trans-Dominion shareholders owned approximately 12% of Madison Oil Company common shares.
The effective date for purchase is January 1, 2000. The business combination between Madison Petroleum (formerly Madison Oil Company) and Madison Oil Company (formerly Trans-Dominion Energy Corporation) has been accounted for as a reverse-takeover, using the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with both U.S. and Canadian GAAP. Applying reverse-takeover accounting rules, Madison Petroleum is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The acquisition was valued at approximately $4,300,000.
Following the transaction, Madison Petroleum, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Madison Oil Company. Madison Oil Company continues the same operations as the former Trans-Dominion, and has the aggregated assets and liabilities of both companies.
Note 5: Related-Party Transactions:
During 1999, the Madison Petroleum, Inc. received working capital advances from the Chairman and/or Vice-Chairman either directly or indirectly through companies that they control. The amount due for the year ended December 31, 1999 was approximately $1,660,000. During 2000, Madison Petroleum retired these advances by assigning its rights to accounts receivable in the approximate amount of $2,300,000 due from Madison Chart Energy. In addition, the Chairman and/or Vice-Chairman, through a company they control, advanced approximately $1,000,000 to Madison Oil Company or its subsidiaries in late 1999 and early 2000. The Company retired these advances in the second quarter of 2000 by issuing one million shares of its common stock to the company controlled by the Chairman and/or Vice-Chairman.
Conversion of Loan to Unsecured Convertible Debenture
At March 30, 2001 Madison completed an agreement with members of the Brewer family, who are majority shareholders of Madison, to convert a $2.2 million loan into a five-year unsecured convertible debenture. It is convertible into Madison common shares at Cdn $1.50 per share, and conversion may be forced by the Company if its common shares trade at Cdn $1.95 for sixty or more consecutive days. The debenture bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable in cash or shares at the Company's option, with the shares valued at the lesser of the conversion price or the market price.
Note 6: Current Portion of Long-Term Debt:
Revolving Credit Agreement
Under the Madison Chart Revolving Credit Agreement with the Bank of Scotland (see Note 6), the Company is obligated to the Bank for $2.67 million at December 31, 2000 and $4.57 million at December 31, 1999, excluding interest. Payments to reduce loan amounts are based on fifty-five percent (55%) of cash flows from producing oil properties. Due to depressed oil prices, the Bank temporarily waived Madison Chart's scheduled repayments through the end of 1999. During the current year, Madison Chart negotiated amendments to the Facility agreement with the Bank. Under the terms of the revised Facility agreement the $1.85 million due for 1999 was rolled into the new loan. The Bank of Scotland loan was retired on March 30, 2001 as part of a new loan agreement with Barclays Bank (see Note 11).
Madison Chart made payments of approximately $1,678,000 in principal and $273,000 of interest in the current year. In 1999, the Company made payments of approximately $130,000 in principal and $170,000 in interest.
Note Payable to Elf, S.A.
Madison Chart purchased the Neocomian fields in the Paris basin of France from Elf, S.A. in April 1998 with an effective date of October 31, 1997 for $10 million. Madison Chart executed a note for $4 million (the $10 million purchase price was reduced with $2 million from oil sales and $4 million in bank debt). As discussed below (See Note 6), repayments under the agreement are based on the spot market price of oil. As a result of depressed oil prices, Madison Chart was only required to pay $87,500 in 1999. The increase in oil prices in year 2000 has accelerated note payments for the current year; the required payment for year 2000 was approximately $2.2 million (excluding interest) to Elf, S.A. Interest paid during the current year was approximately $150,000. Interest accrued by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 are approximately $200,000 and $250,000, respectively. The Elf, S.A. note was retired on March 30, 2001 as part of a new loan agreement with Barclays Bank (see Note 11).

Revolving Credit Agreement
Effective June 30, 1998, Madison Chart Energy, SCS (Madison Chart) negotiated a ten million US dollar ($10,000,000) Revolving Credit Agreement with the Bank of Scotland which runs through December 31, 2004 (see Note 5). The loan was negotiated to finance the purchase and development of oil properties in the Paris Basin of France and for operations. The ten million dollars Nominal Amount is reduced semi-annually in increments of $500,000 beginning December 31, 1999. The interest rate is based on the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.75% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the undrawn balance of the Facility is payable semi-annually in arrears. Receivables, oil and gas production, and the shares of Madison Chart secure borrowings under the agreement. The loan is guaranteed by Madison Oil France, SA and Chart Energy Holdings, BV, a general partner in Madison Chart. Because loan limits and required payments are calculated semi-annually, there is no fixed repayment schedule by year.
Note Payable to Elf, S.A
Madison Chart executed a $4 million note with Elf. S. A. in August 1998 for the balance due of the purchase price of Elf's Neocomian oil field. The note is payable in seven installments over four years. The final payment is due January 31, 2004 (see Note 5). Payments are based on the average spot market price of oil. If the spot market price is below an agreed upon trigger price, a payment is not required. If, due to depressed oil prices, the note is not paid by January 31, 2002, Madison Chart is required to pay a $2 per barrel royalty to Elf until January 31, 2004. If the spot market price were to remain below the trigger price, the balance due on the note as of January 31, 2004, would be reduced to zero. When the spot market price exceeds the trigger price, Madison Chart is obligated to pay up to 200% of the required normal amount of $571,400 based on an agreed upon formula.
Loan Payable to Chart Energy
During 1999, Madison Chart accounts payable to Chart Energy Holding BV, a general partner in Madison Chart, was converted to a loan. The loan plus interest is not payable until the completion of a monetization event as defined in the master partnership agreement. Interest on the loan is accrued at Libor 3 months. The Amount owed at December 31, 1999, including interest, is $343,456 that is included in long-term debt. The principal due at December 31, 2000 is $317,305 and is included in short-term debt based on the terms of the master partnership agreement.

Note 10: Segment Information:
The Company's operations are classified into two reportable geographical business segments: France and Turkey. The Company attributes oil and gas production revenues based on the location of the oil and gas produced.
In August 2000, Madison completed the sale of 75% of Trinidad Exploration and Development, Ltd. ("Trinidad") in exchange of $1.0 million in cash. At the time of the sale, the assets and liabilities of Trinidad were removed, and the net result of $1.5 million was recorded as the investment in Trinidad. Such investment is included in other assets on the balance sheet at December 31, 2000. At the time of the sale, the fair value of the remaining 25% of Trinidad was $1.5 million, and accordingly, the Company recorded no gain or loss on the sale. The Company's remaining twenty-five percent (25%) interest is not reported separately at this time because activities are limited primarily to exploratory and developmental activities that represent less that ten percent (10%) of the Company's total assets and revenues.
The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in social, political and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations, and the company's results of operations and the value of its foreign assets are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Following is a tabulation of unaudited business segment information for each of the past two years. Corporate and other information is included to reconcile segment data to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has incurred net operating losses, which may be carried forward and used to reduce taxable income in future years. The unused net operating losses available for carry forward to offset taxable income are $7.3 million that expire in varying amounts through 2015. The unused net operating losses available for carry forward in France which have no expiration date are $3.8 million. The Company believes that these tax loss carryforward will be available to offset future income tax liabilities.
Note 12: Acquisition of ARCO Turkey, Inc.
On February 20, 2001 Madison completed the purchase of ARCO Turkey, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of British Petroleum, for $3.4 million (less $1.3 million of cash acquired). The purchase was financed with $0.9 million from the Company's cash reserves and $2.5 million in borrowings under a bridge loan facility with London-based Barclays Bank, which was repaid on March 30, 2001. ARCO Turkey, which was renamed Madison Oil Turkey Inc., owns a 19.6 percent working interest in the Cendere Field located in south central Turkey and operated by the Turkish National Oil Company (TPAO). The Cendere Field was discovered in 1989 and has produced approximately 12.7 million barrels of oil to date. During the four-month period of 2000, the field produced at a rate of approximately 2,500 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) from 13 wells, or 500 BOPD to Madison's interest. At December 31, 2000 the Company's independent reservoir engineer estimated the proved reserves in the Cendere Field to be 7.9 million barrels of oil, or 1.2 million barrels net to Madison's interest. The purchase was financed with $0.9 million from the Company's cash reserves and $2.5 million in borrowings under a bridge loan facility with London-based Barclays Bank, which was repaid on March 30, 2001.
Madison initially recorded the purchase of ARCO Turkey, Inc. during 2000 since the negotiations and documentation for the purchase were substantially complete as of December 31, 2000. Because the transaction did not close until February 20, 2001, Madison has restated its financial statements to record the acquisition at February 20, 2001. As a result of the restatement, 2000 revenues were reduced by $1,570,000, net income was reduced by $1,160,000, earnings per share was reduced by $.04 per share, Equipment and Property and Current Liabilities were reduced by $3,393,000, and Current Assets were reduced by $1,160,000. The net effect of the restatement was to apply the net cash proceeds from ARCO Turkey, Inc. production which were accounted for in Madison’s financial statement prior to February 20, 2001 against the purchase price in accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations.
Note 13: Acquisition of Minority Interest in Madison Chart Energy
On March 30, 2001 the Company completed the acquisition of the 38% minority interest in Madison/ Chart Energy SCS ("MCE"), Madison's French subsidiary, for total cash consideration of $16.05 million. Following the acquisition, Madison holds 100% interests in five oil fields in the Paris Basin, producing approximately 1,500 barrels of oil per day. At December 31, 2000 the Company's independent reservoir engineer estimated the proved reserves in these fields to be 10.2 million barrels of oil, or 3.9 million barrels net to the 38% minority interest. A three-phase development program was in progress in the first quarter of 2001 to enhance production through major workovers of existing wells and the drilling of twelve new wells. As of September 30, 2001, first phase of the development program was 100% complete, at a total cost of approximately $5.7 million. MCE's daily production rates were 1,110 Bbls per day before the acquisition and the development program and were 1,261 Bbls per day subsequent thereto.
Note 14: Revolving Credit Facility
On March 30, 2001 Madison completed an agreement with Barclays Bank for a $23.0 million revolving credit facility. The facility has a five-year term extending to December 31, 2005 and is secured by the Company's French assets. The purpose of the facility is to partially finance the MCE and ARCO Turkey purchases and to provide funding for further development of the Neocomian and Charmottes fields in France. The facility is structured in three separate tranches with interest rates based on LIBOR plus 2.5% to 3%. Total borrowings are limited to the lesser of the nominal facility amount or a semi-annual borrowing base. The nominal limit of the facility reduces to $20.0 million at December 31, 2001 and thereafter by $2.5 million every six months.
During 2001, Madison had amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement that exceeded the amount of the borrowing base. Accordingly, Madison was in technical default. Madison obtained waivers of default from its lender, and therefore, a portion of the amount outstanding under this facility is appropriately classified as non-current.
Note 15: Stock Compensation Plan
In March 2000, Madison adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), which, as amended, provides for the granting of stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, of up to 2,500,000 shares. Option grants are at the discretion of Madison's board of directors. Strike price, vesting periods and contractual terms are also at board discretion.

At December 31, 2000, there were 724,000 shares available for grant under the Plan.
Had compensation costs for employees under the Company's two stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates under those plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts listed below:

Note 17: Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserves and Standardized Measure Information (Unaudited)
The following table identifies the Company's net interest in estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves and changes in such estimated quantities. Independent petroleum engineers prepared reserve estimates and Company management reviewed such estimates. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available. Estimated proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are tabulated below. Crude oil includes condensate and natural gas liquids and is stated in barrels (Bbl).

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
Pursuant to SFAS No. 69, the Company has developed the following information titled "Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Quantities" (Standardized Measure). Accordingly, the Standardized Measure has been prepared assuming year-end selling prices adjusted for future fixed and determinable contractual price changes, year-end development and production costs, year-end statutory tax rates adjusted for future tax rates already legislated and a 10% annual discount rate. The Standardized Measure does not purport to be an estimate of the fair market value of the Company's reserves. An estimate of fair value would also have taken into account, among other things, the expected recovery of reserves in excess of proved reserves, anticipated changes in future prices and costs and a discount factor representative of the time value of money and risks inherent in producing oil and gas.

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves | | $ | 3,349,000 | | $ | 31,300,000 | | $ | 29,496,000 | |
The average oil prices used to calculate future net cash inflows were $22.70, $20.27, and $15.48 per barrel at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 the NYMEX price for Brent Crude Oil was $25.12, $25.57 and $10.57 per barrel, respectively.
