"Finding cost" refers to a fraction, of which the numerator is equal to the costs incurred by the Company for property acquisition, exploration and development and of which the denominator is equal to proved reserve additions from extensions, discoveries, improved recovery, acquisitions and revisions of previous estimates. "Improved recovery," "enhanced oil recovery" and "EOR" include all methods of supplementing natural reservoir forces and energy, or otherwise increasing ultimate recovery from a reservoir, such as waterfloods, cyclic steam, steam drive and CO2 (carbon dioxide) injection and fireflood projects. "Heavy oil" is low gravity, high viscosity crude oil. ITEMS 1 AND 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES GENERAL Santa Fe Energy Resources, Inc. ("Santa Fe" or the "Company") is engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in the continental United States and in certain foreign areas. At December 31, 1994, the Company had worldwide proved reserves totaling 298.7 MMBOE (consisting of approximately 258.3 MMBbls of oil and approximately 242.4 Bcf of natural gas), of which approximately 92% were domestic reserves and approximately 8% were foreign reserves. During 1994, the Company's worldwide production aggregated approximately 88.5 MBOE per day, of which approximately 74% was crude oil and approximately 26% was natural gas. A substantial portion of the Company's domestic oil production is in long-lived fields with well-established production histories. With recent sales of non-core properties pursuant to the Company's corporate restructuring program (see "-- Corporate Restructuring Program"), the Company has focused its activities on its three domestic core areas -- the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico, the offshore Gulf of Mexico and the San Joaquin Valley of California -- as well as in Argentina and Indonesia. Santa Fe was incorporated in Delaware in 1971 as Santa Fe Natural Resources, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of a predecessor of Santa Fe Pacific Corporation ("SFP"). SFP was formed as a result of a business combination on December 23, 1983, between Santa Fe Industries, Inc., the parent company of Santa Fe at that time and Southern Pacific Company. On January 8, 1990, Santa Fe Energy Company, which previously conducted a substantial portion of Santa Fe's domestic exploration and development operations, merged into Santa Fe. Santa Fe thereafter changed its name to Santa Fe Energy Resources, Inc. On March 8, 1990 Santa Fe sold 11,700,000 previously unissued shares of common stock in initial public offerings. On December 4, 1990, SFP distributed all of the shares of Santa Fe's common stock it held to its shareholders. In May 1992 Adobe Resources Corporation ("Adobe") was merged with and into the Company (the "Adobe Merger"). The location of the properties acquired in the Adobe Merger (the "Adobe Properties") enhanced the Company's existing domestic operations and added significant international operations to the Company's international program. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the Adobe Merger. For the five years ended December 31, 1994, the Company has replaced approximately 150% of its production at an average finding cost of $5.32 per BOE. Over the last five years, the Company has increased its overall production by increasing production from its existing properties and through acquisitions and has reduced its overall cost structure in order to enhance operating results and to mitigate the Company's financial exposure in a low oil and natural gas price environment. For 1 example, over the five-year period ended December 31, 1994, Santa Fe has increased its average daily production from 69.1 MBOE to 88.5 MBOE and has reduced its average production costs (including related production, severance and ad valorem taxes) from $6.22 per BOE in 1990 to $5.30 per BOE in 1994. Most of the Company's domestic crude oil production is located in California and Texas, while its domestic natural gas production comes primarily from the Gulf of Mexico, New Mexico and Texas. During 1994, the Company's domestic daily production averaged approximately 57.6 MBbls of crude oil and 136.3 MMcf of natural gas. Substantially all of the Company's oil and gas production is sold at market responsive prices. Pursuant to the corporate restructuring program, during 1993 the Company sold properties having 1993 combined production of 4.1 MBbls per day and 21.7 MMcf per day and estimated proved reserves of approximately 16.7 MMBOE. The domestic crude oil marketing activities of the Company are conducted through its Santa Fe Energy Products Division ("Energy Products"), which is also engaged in crude oil trading. Substantially all of the Company's domestic natural gas production is currently marketed under the terms of a sales contract with Hadson Corporation ("Hadson"). See "-- Current Markets for Oil and Gas." A substantial portion of the Company's domestic oil production is in long-lived fields with well-established production histories and where EOR methods are employed. As of December 31, 1994, approximately 69% of the Company's domestic proved crude oil and liquids reserves and 54% of its 1994 average daily domestic production of crude oil and liquids were attributable to the Midway-Sunset field in the San Joaquin Valley of California, where the Company first began production in 1905. Nearly all of the reserves in this field are heavy oil, the production of which depends primarily on steam injection. As of December 31, 1994, an additional 22% of the Company's domestic proved crude oil and liquids reserves and approximately 26% of its 1994 average daily domestic production of crude oil and liquids were attributable to five other oil producing properties: the Wasson and Reeves fields in the Permian Basin of west Texas and the South Belridge, Kern River and Coalinga fields in the San Joaquin Valley. The Company's foreign production is located in the El Tordillo field in Argentina and in the Salawati Basin and Salawati Island area of Indonesia. Production from the El Tordillo field averaged 2,400 barrels of oil per day in 1994 and production from the Indonesian operations averaged 5,700 barrels of oil per day in 1994. The Company maintains an active exploration and development program, a significant portion of which consists of EOR projects on the producing fields discussed above. During 1994, Santa Fe spent approximately $130 million on capital programs and has budgeted approximately $190 million of expenditures for 1995. The actual amount expended by the Company in 1995 will be based upon numerous factors, the majority of which are outside its control, including, without limitation, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and the outlook therefor and the availability of funds. In the United States, at December 31, 1994, the Company held oil and gas rights to approximately 421,000 net undeveloped leasehold and fee acres in 16 states and offshore areas. Outside the United States, at December 31, 1994, the Company held exploration rights with respect to an aggregate of approximately 3,244,000 net undeveloped acres in Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Gabon, Indonesia and Morocco. CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company adopted a corporate restructuring program which included (i) the concentration of capital spending in the Company's core operating areas, (ii) the disposition of non-core assets, (iii) the elimination of the $0.04 per share quarterly Common Stock dividend and (iv) an evaluation of the Company's capital and cost structures to examine ways to increase flexibility and strengthen the Company's financial performance. The Company's capital program is concentrated in three domestic core areas -- the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico, the offshore Gulf of Mexico and the San Joaquin Valley of California -- as well as its productive areas in Argentina and Indonesia. The domestic program includes exploration and development activities in the Delaware and Cisco-Canyon formations in 2 west Texas and southeast New Mexico, a drilling program for the offshore Gulf of Mexico natural gas properties and a drilling and workover program in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Internationally, the program includes exploration and development activities in Argentina and Indonesia, including development of the Company's Sierra Chata discovery in Argentina, with gas sales expected to commence in mid-1995. As a result of the dispositions described below, the Company sold properties having combined production during 1993 of 4.1 MBbls per day and 21.7 MMcf per day and estimated proved reserves of approximately 16.7 MMBOE for total proceeds of approximately $91.4 million, sold its natural gas gathering and processing assets for Hadson securities and realized approximately $11.3 million from the sale of its remaining Depositary Units in Santa Fe Energy Trust (the "Trust") and $8.3 million from the sale of its interest in certain other oil and gas properties. As a result of these transactions, the Company has disposed of substantially all of its inventory of non-core properties. SALE TO HADSON. In December 1993 the Company completed a transaction with Hadson under the terms of which the Company sold the common stock of Adobe Gas Pipeline Company ("AGPC"), a wholly owned subsidiary, to Hadson in exchange for Hadson 11.25% preferred stock with a face value of $52.0 million and 40% of Hadson's common stock. AGPC's assets included approximately 630 miles of gathering and transportation lines in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico with three processing plants in west Texas and New Mexico and an intrastate pipeline system supplying gas to commercial customers in Lubbock. In addition, the Company signed a seven-year gas sales contract under the terms of which Hadson markets substantially all of the Company's domestic natural gas production from specified existing wells and certain domestic development and exploration wells. Pursuant to such contract, Hadson is required to pay the Company for all production delivered at a price for such gas equal to stipulated published monthly index prices. See "-- Current Markets for Oil and Gas". The Company also designates one-half of the members of the Hadson Board of Directors. In February 1995 the Company agreed to sell its holdings in Hadson for $55.3 million in cash and agreed to negotiate with the purchaser concerning amendments to the gas sales contract. The Company's total investment in Hadson at December 31, 1994 of $57.0 million represents management's best estimate of the realizable value of the investment at that date. The sale is expected to close in June 1995. SALE TO VINTAGE PETROLEUM, INC. ("VINTAGE"). In November 1993, the Company completed the sale of certain southern California and Gulf Coast producing properties for net proceeds totaling $42.0 million in cash. The transaction included most of the Company's California interests outside its core area in the San Joaquin Valley as well as certain onshore Gulf Coast properties in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Production from the properties sold to Vintage averaged approximately 2,800 barrels of oil per day and 6.5 MMcf of natural gas per day during 1993. During 1993 such properties contributed $2.7 million to the Company's income from operations. SALE TO BRIDGE OIL (U.S.A.) INC. ("BRIDGE"). In April 1994, the Company completed the sale to Bridge of certain Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain producing and nonproducing oil and gas properties for net proceeds totalling $46.7 million in cash. The transaction includes substantially all of the Company's assets in the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma and Texas as well as its interests in the Rocky Mountain states, excluding its interests in the Canyon Creek natural gas field in Wyoming. The undeveloped acreage includes approximately 1.7 million mineral and leasehold acres and exploratory options on an additional 8.1 million acres. Production from the properties to be sold to Bridge averaged approximately 1,300 barrels of oil per day and 15.2 MMcf of natural gas per day during 1993. The Company's income from operations for 1994 and 1993 includes $2.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, attributable to the assets sold to Bridge. As a result of the review of its cost structure the Company implemented a cost reduction program that included the reduction of its salaried work force by approximately 20%, an improvement in the efficiency of its information systems and reductions in other general and administrative costs. Substantially all of this cost reduction program was implemented by year end 1994. 3 As a result of the review of its capital structure, in May 1994, in concurrent public offerings, the Company issued $100.0 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2004 (the "Debentures") and 10,700,000 shares of $.732 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred"). The net proceeds from the offerings, $187.5 million after deducting related costs and expenses, were used to retire $132.3 million of existing long-term debt and to pay $6.5 million in accrued interest and prepayment penalties due upon the retirement of such debt and the remaining $48.7 million was used for working capital purposes. The refinancing reduced required debt amortization in the near-term and provided additional financial flexibility. RESERVES The following tables set forth information regarding changes in the Company's estimates of proved net reserves from January 1, 1992 to December 31, 1994 and the balance of the Company's estimated proved developed reserves at December 31 of each of the years 1991 through 1994.

See "-- Santa Fe Energy Trust." 4 Historically, the Company has utilized active development and exploration programs as well as selected acquisitions to replace its reserves depleted by production. The Company has increased its proved reserves (net of production and sales) by approximately 19% over the five years ended December 31, 1994. Most of such increases are attributable to proved reserve additions from the Company's producing oil properties in the San Joaquin Valley of California and the Permian Basin in west Texas, proved reserves acquired in the Adobe Merger and other purchases of oil and gas reserves. As previously discussed, in 1993 the Company sold properties with reserves totalling 16.7 MMBOE. Ryder Scott Company ("Ryder Scott"), a firm of independent petroleum engineers, prepared the above estimates of the Company's total proved reserves as of December 31, 1991 through 1994. During 1994 the Company filed Energy Information Administration Form 23 which reported natural gas and oil reserves for the year 1993. On an equivalent barrel basis, the reserve estimates for the year 1993 contained in such report and those reported herein for the year 1993 do not differ by more than five percent. DOMESTIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES The Company is engaged in development activities primarily through the application of thermally enhanced oil recovery "EOR" techniques to its heavy oil properties in the San Joaquin Valley, the use of secondary waterfloods and tertiary CO2 floods on its properties in other mature fields and the development of producing properties acquired by the Company through its exploration successes and its acquisition program. Thermal EOR operations involve the injection of steam into a reservoir to raise the temperature and reduce the viscosity of the heavy oil, facilitating the flow of the oil into producing wellbores. The Company has operated thermal EOR projects in the San Joaquin Valley since the mid-1960s. Similarly, the Company has extensive experience in the use of waterfloods, which involve the injection of water into a reservoir to drive hydrocarbons into producing wellbores. The Company has an interest in more than 50 waterflood projects, and additional projects are planned for the future. Following the waterflood phase, certain fields may continue to produce in response to tertiary EOR projects, such as the injection of CO2 which mixes miscibly with the oil and improves the displacement efficiency of the water injection. The Company's principal CO2 floods are in the Wasson field and are operated by affiliates of Shell Oil Company, ARCO and Amoco. Set forth below is a discussion of some of the Company's principal development projects. The Company has operated in the Midway-Sunset and Wasson fields since 1905 and 1939, respectively. The Company acquired interests in the South Belridge field from Petro-Lewis in 1987 and in January 1991 expanded its holdings in the field with the purchase of certain properties from Mission Operating Partnership, L.P. The Company's interests in the Kern River and Coalinga fields were acquired in 1905 and 1977, respectively. The Gulf of Mexico fields were discovered on leases held by the Company or acquired in the Adobe Merger, while the Delaware and Cisco Canyon properties were acquired as undeveloped properties. SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY MIDWAY-SUNSET. The Company owns a 100% working interest (92% average net revenue interest) in over 10,000 gross acres and 2,200 active wells in the Midway-Sunset field. Substantially all the oil produced from the Midway-Sunset field is heavy crude oil produced principally by cyclic steam and steamflood operations from Pleistocene and Miocene reservoirs at depths less than 2,000 feet. These steam stimulation operations were initiated in the field in the mid-1960s. During 1994 the Midway-Sunset field accounted for approximately 54% of the Company's domestic crude oil and liquids production. At December 31, 1994 the Midway-Sunset field accounted for approximately 69% of the Company's domestic proved crude oil and liquid reserves. Reservoir engineering studies prepared on behalf of the Company indicate significant additions to its proved reserves in this field can continue 5 to be made through additional EOR and development projects. The Company has identified a substantial number of locations that could be drilled in the field, depending in part on future prices and economic conditions. The Company is pursuing electrical cogeneration opportunities which could lower Midway-Sunset operating costs. SOUTH BELRIDGE. The South Belridge field is located approximately 15 miles north of the Midway-Sunset field. The Company operates three leases in the field which produce heavy oil from the shallow Tulare sands and lighter low viscosity oil from the deeper Diatomite reservoirs. Steamflood operations in the lower Tulare sands are in progress on one of these leases and plans call for flooding the remaining Tulare sands on this lease and all Tulare sands on another lease in the coming years. Waterflood operations in the Diatomite reservoir have been initiated on two leases and the Company expects to expand these operations to include the rest of the developed area. COALINGA. The Coalinga field is located 55 miles southwest of Fresno, California. Successful steamfloods and a pilot steamflood project have been conducted in the Lower Temblor Sands on three of the six leases in which the Company owns interests in the field. During the next several years, the Company plans to expand the pilot steamflood project in the lower sands to cover the remaining producing area and expand steam floods on the Upper Temblor Sands on all leases after depletion of the lower zones. Most of the facilities required for these projects are already in place as a result of the prior steamfloods. KERN RIVER. The Kern River field is located near Bakersfield, California. The Lower Kern River Series sands have been successfully steamflooded on three of the leases in which the Company owns an interest. Over the next several years steamflood operations will be sequentially redeployed in the upper sands of the Kern River Series. Eventually the Company plans to flood all sands on its remaining lease in several stages. The Company has installed and operates a large steam generation plant on these properties. PERMIAN BASIN WASSON. The Company's interests in the field principally consist of royalty and working interests in three units which are presently under CO2 flood. Most of the expenditures for plant, facilities, wells and equipment necessary for such tertiary recovery projects have been made. In addition, while expenditures relating to the purchase of CO2 for the Wasson field are expected to continue, CO2 can be recycled and, therefore, such expenditures should decline in the future. During 1994 the Wasson field accounted for approximately 9% of the Company's domestic crude oil and liquids production and at December 31, 1994 the field accounted for approximately 8% of the Company's domestic proved crude oil and liquids reserves. Since initiation of CO2 flooding operations in 1984, the field's previous production decline has been reversed. Reservoir engineering studies prepared on behalf of the Company indicate significant additions to proved reserves can be made through additional EOR and development projects. REEVES. The Company owns a 72% average net revenue interest in the Reeves field, seven miles east of the large Wasson field in west Texas. The field has been under waterflood since 1965. During 1994, 23 wells were drilled and 24 wells were worked over as part of a program to infill drill the unit to 20-acre spacing and enhance current waterflood operations. Based on the successes of the prior year's program, the Company plans to continue the infill drilling and workover program in this field in 1995. NEW MEXICO. During 1994 the Company increased its activity in the light-oil Delaware play in Lea and Eddy Counties of southeast New Mexico. A total of 28 gross (11.5 net) development wells were completed in 1994 and net production from this area in December 1994 totaled approximately 1,350 barrels of oil and 1.8 MMcf of natural gas per day. The Company plans to drill additional development wells in 1995. 6 Also in southeastern New Mexico, the Company participated in 5 gross (3.2 net) wells in 1994 in the light oil and gas Cisco-Canyon project. Three of the wells were completed as producers from the Cisco-Canyon zone by year end and six others continued production testing. The Company plans to continue delineation of this play which contains some 55 identified potential development locations. OFFSHORE GULF OF MEXICO At December 31, 1994, offshore Gulf of Mexico properties accounted for 41% of the Company's domestic proved natural gas reserves and during 1994 these properties accounted for approximately 54% of the Company's domestic natural gas production. Year end net offshore Gulf of Mexico deliverability was over 3,200 barrels of oil per day and 80 million cubic feet of gas per day from 54 blocks. The Company operates seven producing fields on ten blocks with one Company-operated block scheduled to begin production in January. The Company's activities in the offshore Gulf of Mexico are concentrated in the shallow water area (less than 400 feet of water) where the costs of drilling, completion and operation are predictable and the well developed pipeline infrastructure allows for relatively quick hookup of new wells. During 1994, the Company participated in the drilling of 9 gross (2.1 net) development wells which resulted in 7 gross (1.8 net) completions. Four of these wells commenced production in 1994 with another expected to come on production in March 1995. The remaining two successful wells are part of the High Island A-442 development project in which the Company has a 30% working interest. These two wells, the second and third in the field, had a combined test flow of over 2,250 barrels of oil per day and 3.0 million cubic feet of gas per day. A fourth development well was drilling in this field at year end. Facilities are being constructed and production at High Island A-442 is expected to begin in the third quarter of 1995. During 1994 the Company also completed the facilities and pipeline connections for its 100% owned Viosca Knoll 76 well which commenced production in December at 4.0 (3.3 net) million cubic feet per day. DOMESTIC EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES The Company focused its domestic exploration activities in two core areas, the Permian Basin of west Texas and southeastern New Mexico and the offshore Gulf of Mexico. Overall the Company participated in 35 gross (13.6 net) domestic exploratory wells in 1994. A total of 12 gross (5.0 net) were completed as producers for a 37% net well success. At year end there were 5 gross (1.3 net) wells in various stages of drilling or completion. As of December 31, 1994, the Company held approximately 294,000 net undeveloped leasehold acres in 14 states and offshore areas. The primary lease terms expire with respect to 30% of such acreage in 1995, 18% in 1996, 12% in 1997, 6% in 1998 and the remainder thereafter. In addition, the Company owns approximately 127,000 net acres of undeveloped fee minerals located primarily in New Mexico, Texas and California. The Company also holds the oil and gas rights on approximately 8.1 million net undeveloped acres in the western United States through direct ownership and pursuant to lease option agreements from Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Company and other former affiliates. These lands are located in high risk exploration areas. Due to this risk, the Company has historically negotiated with third parties to explore this acreage with the Company to receive a royalty or carried interest in the exploration phase. An agreement relating to substantially all of these oil and gas rights has been entered into with Bridge. This agreement is intended to provide incentive to Bridge to accelerate exploration activities on lands subject to these rights. The Company will receive a small revenue interest in the event such activities are successful. 7 Set forth below is a brief discussion of some of the Company's principal exploration programs. PERMIAN BASIN. The Permian Basin continues as the Company's most active domestic exploration area. During 1994 the Company participated in 26 gross (10.2 net) exploratory wells with 9 gross (3.5 net) of these wells being completed for a 35% success rate. There were 5 gross (1.3 net) additional wells drilling or completing at the end of the year. In southeastern New Mexico, the Company's exploratory program focuses on multiple Permian and Pennsylvanian aged oil and gas reservoirs ranging in depth from 1,500 to 16,000 feet. While deeper objectives, which are typically gas bearing, remain an important component of the program, an increasing portion of the program has focused on shallower Delaware and Cisco-Canyon oil reserves. Altogether the Company has identified more than 30 exploratory prospects and 150 development locations in southeastern New Mexico. The Company is also active in the application of 3-D seismic technology in its exploration program. To date, these activities have been restricted to the west Texas portion of the Permian Basin near Midland, Texas. During 1993, the Company participated in a 250 square mile 3-D seismic program. This program focuses on pre-Mississippian aged reservoirs at approximately 10-12,000' in depth. In 1994, the Company participated in a total of 15 gross (3.6 net) wells in this area with 4 gross (1.0 net) wells resulting in discoveries. All of the Company's costs in the eleven dry holes were paid by partners. In 1994, the Company initiated a second 3-D project on a block of approximately 230 square miles adjoining the initial block. Data acquisition began in September and is scheduled to be completed during the first quarter of 1995. All of the Company's seismic costs will be paid by a joint venture partner. Drilling plans in 1995 include multiple prospects at depths of 10,000 to 14,000 feet. OFFSHORE GULF OF MEXICO. The Company participated in 9 gross (3.4 net) exploratory wells in 1994, including 3 gross (1.5 net) discovery wells. The Company's offshore program is focused on prospects in shallow and moderate water depths which display "hydrocarbon indicators" on seismic data. The Company has an inventory of 26 drillable prospects and expects to participate in approximately 14 exploratory wells in 1995. INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES INDONESIA. The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, is engaged in the production of crude oil in Indonesia through a joint venture (the "Salawati Basin Joint Venture") formed in 1970 to explore for and develop hydrocarbon reserves in the Salawati Basin area of Irian Jaya. At December 31, 1994, the Company held a 33 1/3% participation interest in, and acts as operator for, the Salawati Basin Joint Venture. The Salawati Basin Joint Venture operates under a production sharing contract (the "PSC") with the Indonesia state oil agency ("Pertamina"), which had an initial term of 30 years and expires in the year 2000. The Company is currently negotiating with such state oil agency to extend the contract for an additional 20 years. As of December 31, 1994, the contract covered an area of approximately 235,000 acres. Production occurs from seven oil and three gas condensate fields. The PSC entitles the Salawati Basin Joint Venture to recover all of its expenditures related to the operation (the "cost recovery amount") before any additional production is shared with the Indonesian state oil agency, which recovery is effected by allocating to the Salawati Basin Joint Venture a portion of the crude oil production sufficient, at the Indonesia government official crude oil price ("ICP"), to offset the cost recovery amount. The balance of production after the cost recovery amount is divided between the parties, with approximately 66% allocated to Pertamina and 34% allocated to the Salawati Basin Joint Venture. However, 25% of the 34% allocated to the Salawati Basin Joint Venture (8.5% of total production) must be sold into the Indonesian domestic market for $0.20 per barrel. The entire entitlement of the Salawati Basin Joint Venture under the PSC, including the domestic market obligation, averaged approximately 9.3 MBbls per day (approximately 3.1 MBbls per day net to the Company) for the year ended December 31, 1994. The Salawati Basin Joint Venture is required to pay Indonesian income taxes at the rate of 56%. 8 The Company, through another subsidiary, has also entered into a joint venture with Pertamina to explore the Salawati Island Block of Irian Jaya. The effective date of this joint venture is April 23, 1990 with a term of 30 years. At December 31, 1994, the Company held a 16 2/3% participation interest in the block which covers 1.09 million acres. The Company and Pertamina (with its 50% interest) jointly operate the contract area. In 1991, a successful exploratory well tested at a combined rate of 3,568 barrels of oil per day and was followed by two successful delineation wells. Pertamina declared the field commercial in January 1993 and designated it as the Matoa Field. Sales of production began in January of 1993. Development activities through 1994 have the Matoa field producing approximately 8,200 barrels of oil per day from 16 wells as of December 31, 1994. Under the terms of the Salawati Island agreement, the joint venture participants are allowed to recover the cost recovery amount, after an initial 20% portion (2.9% to the joint venture participants and 17.1% to Pertamina) has been deducted, by allocating to the joint venture participants a portion of the crude oil production ("cost oil") sufficient to offset the cost recovery amount. All unrecovered costs in any calendar year can be carried forward to future years. The balance of production after allocation of cost oil is allocated approximately 85.5% to Pertamina and 14.5% to the other Salawati Island Joint Venture participants. However, 7.25% of the gross production allocated to the joint venture participants must be sold into the Indonesian domestic market for 10% of ICP. ARGENTINA. In 1991, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired an 18% non-operated working interest (15.84% net revenue interest) in the El Tordillo field in Chubut Province, Argentina. At that time, the field was producing approximately 10,500 barrels of oil per day. As of December 31, 1994 the El Tordillo owners have completed 203 workovers and drilled six new wells. During that time production increased to approximately 15,500 barrels of oil per day. The Company expects this program to continue through 1995 and anticipates an expansion of the existing waterflood facilities. The joint venture group is allowed to sell crude oil produced from this field into the open market. There is a 12% royalty on gross production and the joint venture is taxed at a 30% rate after deductions for capitalized costs and expenses. In April 1993, the Company's subsidiary completed the Sierra Chata X-1 as a successful exploratory test in Chihuidos Block, Neuquen Province, Argentina. The well produced at a combined rate of 22.2 million cubic feet per day and 109 barrels of condensate per day. Carbon dioxide content of the natural gas was 6%. Nine successful wells have been subsequently drilled. Producing rates on these wells varied from 3.2 to 28.6 million cubic feet per day. The Company has a 19.9% working interest in the Block after selling a 2.7% working interest to Gassur S.A. in June 1994. The Company and its partners are building a gas processing facility and a 40-mile gathering pipeline that will transport production from the field and interconnect with a main transmission line owned by a third party that transports gas to Buenos Aires and other major markets. Construction of the gas processing facility and the pipeline is estimated to cost an aggregate of $83.5 million ($16.6 million net to the Company's interest). The Company expects that sales of production from the Sierra Chata field will commence in May 1995. A gas contract for 106 million cubic feet of gas per day with "take-or-pay" and "delivery-or-pay" obligations has been executed with MetroGas S.A., a Buenos Aires gas distribution company. INTERNATIONAL EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES In 1994 the Company participated in 8 gross (2.9 net) international exploratory wells. Two of the wells (0.8 net) were completed as discoveries. In March 1994, the Mudi No. 1 was completed as an oil discovery on the Company's Tuban Block which is located on the island of Java in Indonesia and in June the Mudi No. 1 Sidetrack penetrated the reservoir approximately one-half mile to the northeast of the discovery well. In December the Mudi No. 2, a delineation well, was completed and tested at the rate of 5,024 barrels per day of 35 degree API gravity crude oil through a 1 1/4-inch choke with flowing tubing pressure of 9 330 pounds per square inch. The Mudi No. 1 and Mudi No. 1 Sidetrack tested at flow rates of 1,350 and 2,020 barrels per day, respectively. Two additional delineation wells will be drilled in early 1995 and further development is expected to begin in the third quarter of 1995. The Tuban Block is operated through a joint operating body comprised of Pertamina, the state oil company of Indonesia and Santa Fe. Partners and ownership positions in the block include Pertamina 50%, Santa Fe 12.5%, Total Tuban 12.5%, R.S.R. Petroleum Ltd. 12.5% and Enserch Far East Ltd. 12.5%. In Alberta, Canada in 1994 the Company participated in the drilling of a natural gas discovery which has been shut in until further drilling confirms the commercial viability of the prospect. The Company holds a 50% nonoperated working interest in the block on which the prospect is located. Also in 1994, the Company participated in nonproductive exploratory wells drilled in Argentina (1 gross, 0.2 net), Bolivia (1 gross, 0.6 net), Canada (2 gross, 0.75 net) and Indonesia (2 gross, 0.7 net). At December 31, 1994 the Company held exploration contracts in six countries covering approximately 10.1 million gross (3.2 million net) acres, the majority of which are located in Indonesia and South America. In January 1995 the Company signed a contract covering exploration rights on Ecuador's Oriente Block 11 which is located in the north central portion of the Oriente Basin which encompasses the northeast section of the country. The contract includes an initial exploration period of four years with optional extensions. The Company is the operator and holds a 35% working interest in the block. The Company plans to participate in the drilling of up to eleven exploratory wells in 1995, including five wells in Indonesia, three wells in Argentina, two wells in Canada and one well in Gabon. 10 DRILLING ACTIVITIES The table below sets forth, for the periods indicated, the number of wells drilled in which Santa Fe had an economic interest. As of December 31, 1994, Santa Fe was in the process of drilling or completing 5 gross (1.3 net) domestic exploratory wells, 22 gross (11.2 net) development wells, 1 gross (0.5 net) foreign exploratory well and 6 gross (1.4 net) foreign development wells.

For the last several years, prices of these products have reflected a worldwide surplus of supply over demand. The price received by the Company for its crude oil and natural gas depends upon numerous factors, the majority of which are beyond the Company's control, including economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere and the world political situation as it affects OPEC, the Middle East (including the current embargo of Iraqi crude oil from worldwide markets) and other producing countries, the actions of OPEC and governmental regulation. The fluctuation in world oil prices continues to reflect market uncertainty regarding OPEC's ability to 12 control member country production and underlying concern about the balance of world demand for and supply of oil and gas. Decreases in the prices of oil and gas have had, and could have in the future, an adverse effect on the Company's development and exploration programs, proved reserves, revenues, profitability and cash flow. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- General." The Company believes the market for heavy crude oil produced in California differs substantially from the remainder of the domestic crude oil market. It is necessary to heat or dilute heavy oil to make it flow, which increases transportation and handling costs, and it is also more costly to refine. As a result, the price paid for heavy crude oil is generally lower than the price paid for light crudes. In addition, historically there has been an oversupply of crude oil in the California market resulting in an adverse effect on the prices for crude oil in that market. Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes that such oversupply will not continue for the long term due to stabilized west coast refining requirements and the decline of crude oil produced in both Alaska and California. From time to time the Company has hedged a portion of its oil and natural gas production to manage its exposure to volatility in prices of oil and natural gas. The Company used several instruments whereby monthly settlements were based on the difference between the price, or a range of prices, specified in the instruments and the monthly average of the daily settlement prices of certain West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil futures contracts or of certain natural gas futures contracts quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In instances where the actual average of the daily settlement price was less than the price specified in the contract, the Company received a settlement based on the difference; in instances where the actual average of the daily settlement price was higher than the specified price, the Company paid an amount based on the difference. The instruments utilized by the Company differed from futures contracts in that there was no contractual obligation which required or allowed for the future delivery of the product. Settlements were included in revenues in the period in which the oil and natural gas were sold. The Company currently has no outstanding crude oil or natural gas hedging instruments. During 1994, affiliates of Shell Oil Company and Celeron Corporation accounted for approximately 38% and 24%, respectively, of Energy Products' crude oil sales (which with respect to certain properties includes royalty and working interest owners' share of production). No other individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's crude oil and liquids revenues during 1994. Substantially all of the Company's oil production is currently sold at market-responsive prices that approximate spot prices. Availability of a ready market for the Company's oil production depends on numerous factors, including the level of consumer demand, the extent of worldwide oil production, the cost and availability of alternative fuels, the cost of and proximity of pipelines and other transportation facilities, regulation by state and federal authorities and the cost of complying with applicable environmental regulations. In December 1993, the Company signed a seven-year gas sales contract with Hadson pursuant to the terms of which Hadson markets substantially all of the Company's domestic natural gas production. Pursuant to such gas contract, Santa Fe dedicated to Hadson all of its domestic natural gas production from specified existing wells, which consist of essentially all of the Company's domestic natural gas production, except to the extent such production was dedicated under pre-existing contracts. Upon the expiration of any such pre-existing contracts, that production shall also be dedicated to Hadson. In addition to production from existing wells, such gas contract provides for the dedication by the Company of gas production from certain domestic development wells and exploration wells to the extent that the Company accepts proposals from Hadson to gather and market production from such exploration wells. Production from gas wells acquired by the Company pursuant to an acquisition of producing oil and gas properties will not be dedicated under the gas contract but may be dedicated by the mutual agreement of the Company and Hadson. 13 Pursuant to the gas contract, Hadson is required to pay the Company for all production delivered at a price for such gas equal to stipulated published monthly index prices. Hadson is obligated to use its best efforts to receive gas from the Company at delivery points so as to maximize the net price received by the Company for such production. Payment for purchases by Hadson are made in immediately available funds no later than the last working day of the month following the month of production. With respect to payments due on the last day of each month through April 1995 Hadson may, at its discretion, defer payment on up to $5.0 million of the amount otherwise due for a period of thirty days without penalty. No deferral is permitted unless any previous deferral has been paid in full. Deferred amounts bear interest at the prime rate plus one percent. In February 1995 the Company agreed to sell its holdings in Hadson and agreed to negotiate with the purchaser concerning amendments to the gas sales contract. The sale is expected to close in June 1995. SANTA FE ENERGY TRUST In November 1992, 5,725,000 Depositary Units ("Depositary Units"), each consisting of beneficial ownership of one unit of undivided interest in the Trust and a $20 face amount beneficial ownership interest in a $1,000 face amount zero coupon United States Treasury obligation maturing on February 15, 2008, were sold in a public offering. The assets of the Trust consist of certain oil and gas properties conveyed by the Company. A total of $114.5 million was received from public investors, of which $38.7 million was used to purchase the Treasury obligations and $5.7 million was used to pay underwriting commissions and discounts. The Company received the remaining $70.1 million and retained 575,000 Depositary Units. A portion of the proceeds received by the Company was used to retire $30.0 million of debt and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes. In the first quarter of 1994, the Company sold the remaining 575,000 Depositary Units it held for $11.3 million. The properties conveyed to the Trust consisted of two term royalty interests in two production units in the Wasson field in west Texas and a net profits royalty interest in certain royalty and working interests in a diversified portfolio of properties located in twelve states. At December 31, 1994, 4.6 MMBOE of the Company's estimated proved reserves were subject to such net profits interest. The reserve estimates included herein reflect the conveyance of the Wasson term royalties to the Trust. For any calendar quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2002, the Trust will receive additional royalty payments to the extent that such payments are required to provide distributions of $0.40 per Depositary Unit per quarter. Such additional royalty payments, if needed, will come from the Company's remaining royalty interest in one of the production units in the Wasson field described above, and are non-recourse to the Company. If such additional payments are made, certain proceeds otherwise payable to the Trust in subsequent quarters may be reduced to recoup the amount of such additional payments. The aggregate amount of the additional royalty payments (net of any amounts recouped) will be limited to $20.0 million on a revolving basis. The Company was required to make additional royalty payments totalling $0.4 million and $1.1 million with respect to the distributions made by the Trust for operations in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Dependent on various factors, such as sales volumes and prices and the level of operating costs and capital expenditures incurred, proceeds payable to the Trust with respect to operations in subsequent quarters may not be sufficient to make distributions of $0.40 per quarter. In such instances the Company would be required to make additional royalty payments. OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS COMPETITION The Company faces competition in all aspects of its business, including, but not limited to, acquiring reserves, leases, licenses and concessions; obtaining goods, services and labor needed to 14 conduct its operations and manage the Company; and marketing its oil and gas. The Company's competitors include multinational energy companies, government-owned oil and gas companies, other independent producers and individual producers and operators. The Company believes that its competitive position is affected by price, its geological and geophysical capabilities and ready access to markets for production. Many competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company, more favorable exploration prospects and ready access to move favorable markets for their production. The Company believes that the well-defined nature of the reservoirs in its long-lived oil fields, its expertise in EOR methods in these fields, its active development and exploration position and its experienced management may give it a competitive advantage over some other producers. REGULATION OF CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS The petroleum industry is subject to various types of regulation throughout the world, including regulation in the United States by state and federal agencies. Domestic legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion, frequently increasing the regulatory burden. Also, numerous departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue and have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, compliance with which is often difficult and costly and which may carry substantial penalties for non-compliance. Although the regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases the cost of doing business and, consequently, affects profitability, generally these burdens do not appear to affect the Company any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry with similar types and quantities of production. While the Company is a party to several regulatory proceedings before governmental agencies arising in the ordinary course of business, management does not believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse affect on the operations or financial condition of the Company. Set forth below is a general description of certain state and federal regulations which have an effect on the Company's operations. STATE REGULATION. State statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. Most states in which the Company operates also have statutes and regulations governing the conservation of oil and gas and the prevention of waste, including the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties and rates of production from oil and gas wells. Rates of production may be regulated through the establishment of maximum daily production allowables on a market demand or conservation basis or both. FEDERAL REGULATION. A portion of the Company's oil and gas leases are granted by the federal government and administered by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") and the Minerals Management Service ("MMS"), both of which are federal agencies. Such leases are issued through competitive bidding, contain relatively standardized terms and require compliance with detailed BLM and MMS regulations and orders (which are subject to change by the BLM and the MMS). For offshore operations, lessees must obtain MMS approval for exploration plans and development and production plans prior to the commencement of such operations. In addition to permits required from other agencies (such as the Coast Guard, Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency), lessees must obtain a permit from the BLM or the MMS prior to the commencement of drilling. The interstate transportation of natural gas is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and, to a lesser extent, the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (collectively, the "Acts"). Since 1991, FERC's regulatory efforts have centered largely around its generic rulemaking proceedings, Order No. 636. Through Order No. 636 and successor orders, FERC has undertaken to restructure the interstate pipeline industry with the goal of providing enhanced access to, and competition among, alternative gas suppliers. By requiring interstate pipelines to "unbundle" their sales services and to provide their customers with direct access to any upstream pipeline capacity held by pipelines, Order No. 636 has enabled pipeline customers to choose the levels of transportation and storage service they require, as well as to purchase gas directly from third-party merchants other than the pipelines. 15 Even though the implementation of Order No. 636 on individual interstate pipelines is largely complete, nearly all of these individual restructuring proceedings, as well as Order No. 636 itself and the regulations promulgated thereunder, are subject to pending appellate review and could possibly be substantially modified by the courts. Thus, while Order No. 636 has generally facilitated the transportation of gas and the direct access to end-user markets, the precise impact of these regulations on marketing production cannot be predicted at this time. With the completion of the Order No. 636 implementation process on the FERC level, FERC's natural gas regulatory efforts have turned towards a number of other important policies, all of which could significantly affect the marketing of gas. Some of the more notable of these regulatory initiatives include (i) a series of orders in individual pipeline proceedings articulating a policy of generally approving the divestiture of pipeline-owned gathering facilities to pipeline affiliates, (ii) the completion of a rulemaking involving the regulation of pipeline marketing affiliates under Order No. 497, (iii) FERC's on-going efforts to promulgate standards for pipeline electronic bulletin boards and electronic data exchange, (iv) a generic inquiry into the pricing of interstate pipeline capacity, (v) efforts to refine FERC's regulations controlling the operation of the secondary market for released pipeline capacity, and (vi) a policy statement regarding market and other non-cost-based rates for interstate pipeline transmission and storage capacity. The on-going and evolving nature of these regulatory initiatives makes it impossible at this time to predict their ultimate impact upon marketing natural gas. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION Various federal, state and local laws and regulations covering the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, may affect the Company's operations and costs. In particular, the Company's oil and gas exploration, development, production and EOR operations, its activities in connection with storage and transportation of liquid hydrocarbons and its use of facilities for treating, processing, recovering or otherwise handling hydrocarbons and wastes therefrom are subject to stringent environmental regulation by governmental authorities. Such regulation has increased the cost of planning, designing, drilling, installing, operating and abandoning the Company's oil and gas wells and other facilities. The Company has expended significant resources, both financial and managerial, to comply with environmental regulations and permitting requirements and anticipates that it will continue to do so in the future in order to comply with stricter industry and regulatory safety standards such as those described below. Although the Company believes that its operations and facilities are in general compliance with applicable environmental regulations, risks of substantial costs and liabilities are inherent in oil and gas operations and there can be no assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred in the future. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property, employees, other persons and the environment resulting from the Company's operations, could result in substantial costs and liabilities in the future. Although the resulting costs cannot be accurately estimated at this time, these requirements and risks typically apply to companies with types and quantities of production similar to those of the Company and to the oil and gas industry in general. OFFSHORE PRODUCTION. Offshore oil and gas operations are subject to regulations of the United States Department of the Interior, the Department of Transportation, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and certain state agencies. In particular, the Federal Water Pollution Act of 1972, as amended ("FWPCA"), imposes strict controls on the discharge of oil and its derivatives into navigable waters. The FWPCA provides for civil and criminal penalties for any discharges of petroleum in reportable quantities and, along with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and similar state laws, imposes substantial liability for the costs of oil removal, remediation and damages. SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE. The Company currently owns or leases, and has in the past owned or leased, numerous properties that have been used for production of oil and gas for many years. 16 Although the Company has utilized operating and disposal practices that were standard in the industry at the time, hydrocarbons or other solid wastes may have been disposed or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the Company. State and federal laws applicable to oil and gas wastes and properties have gradually become more strict. Under these new laws, the Company has been, and in the future could be, required to remove or remediate previously disposed wastes or property contamination (including groundwater contamination) or to perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination. The Company generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes that are subject to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and comparable state statutes. The EPA has limited the disposal options for certain hazardous wastes and is considering the adoption of stricter disposal standards for nonhazardous wastes. Furthermore, it is anticipated that additional wastes (which could include certain wastes generated by the Company's oil and gas operations) will in the future be designated as "hazardous wastes," which are subject to more rigorous and costly disposal requirements. In response to the changing regulatory environment, the Company has made certain changes in its operations and disposal practices. For example, the Company has commenced remediation of sites or replacement of facilities where its wastes have previously been disposed. SUPERFUND. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as the "superfund" law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of a site and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substance found at a site. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some cases, third parties to take actions in responses to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur. In the course of its operations, the Company has generated and will generate wastes that may fall within CERCLA's definition of "hazardous substances." The Company may be responsible under CERCLA for all or part of the costs to clean up sites at which such wastes have been disposed. The Company has been identified as one of over 250 potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at a superfund site in Los Angeles County, California. The site was operated by a third party as a waste disposal facility from 1948 until 1983. The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") is requiring the PRPs to undertake remediation of the site in several phases, which include site monitoring and leachate control, gas control and final remediation. In 1989 the EPA and a group of PRPs that includes the Company entered into a consent decree covering the site monitoring and leachate control phases of remediation. The Company is a member of the group Coalition Undertaking Remediation Efforts ("CURE") which is responsible for constructing and operating the leachate treatment plant. Treatment tests will begin shortly. Site monitoring and maintenance will continue throughout the life of the facility. The Company's share of costs with respect to this phase are expected to total approximately $2.4 million ($1.3 million after recoveries from working interest participants in the unit in which the wastes were generated). Another consent decree provides for the predesign, design and construction of a gas plant to harness and market methane gas emissions. The Company is a member of the New CURE group which is responsible for the gas plant construction and operation and landfill cover. Currently, New CURE is in the design stage of the gas plant. The liability with respect to this phase has not been capped but is estimated to be approximately $130.0 million. The Company's share of costs of this phase is expected to be of approximately the same magnitude as that of the first phase and such costs have been provided for in the financial statements. As previously discussed, the Company has provided for its share of costs with respect to the site monitoring, leachate control and gas control phases; however, it cannot currently estimate the cost of any subsequent phases of work or final remediation which may be required by the EPA. 17 Another consent decree is currently being executed by the PRPs and will be logged with the court for approval. This consent decree allows for the settlement of the pending lawsuits against the municipalities and transporters not named by the EPA. The settlement totals approximately $70.0 million of which approximately $55.0 million will be credited against future expenses. The Company has entered into a Joint Defense Agreement with the other PRPs to defend against a lawsuit filed September 7, 1994 by ninety-five homeowners alleging, among other things, nuisance, trespass, strict liability and infliction of emotional distress. At this stage of the lawsuit the Company is not able to estimate costs or potential liability but the defendants intend to aggressively pursue the defense and discovery once all defendants have been served and answers have been filed. In 1989, Adobe received requests from the EPA for information pursuant to Section 104(e) of CERCLA with respect to the D. L. Mud and Gulf Coast Vacuum Services superfund sites located in Abbeville, Louisiana. With respect to the Gulf Coast Site the Company has entered into a sharing agreement with other PRP'S to participate in the final remediation of the Gulf Coast site and a design plan has been submitted and is awaiting approval by the EPA. The Company's share of the remediation, which has been provided for in the financial statements, is approximately $600,000 and includes its proportionate share of those PRPs who do not have the financial resources to provide their share of the work at the site. A former site owner has already conducted remedial activities at the D. L. Mud Site under a state agency agreement. On April 4, 1994, the Company received a request from the EPA for information pursuant to Section 104(e) of CERCLA and a letter ordering the Company and seven other PRPs to negotiate with the EPA regarding implementation of a remedial plan for a site located in Santa Fe Springs, California. The Company owned the property on which the site is located from 1921 to 1932. During that time the property was leased to another company and in 1932 the property was sold to that company. During the time the other company leased or owned the property, hazardous wastes were allegedly disposed at the site. The EPA estimates that the total past and future costs for remediation will approximate $9.4 million. The Company filed its response to the Section 104(e) order setting forth its position and defenses based on the fact that the other company was the lessee and operator of the site during the time the Company was the owner of the property. However, the Company has also given its Notice of Intent to comply with the EPA's order to prepare a remediation design plan. Six of the other PRPs have also notified the EPA of their intent to comply. The cost of such a remediation design plan is estimated to be approximately $1.0 million. To date there has been no agreement on how to allocate costs among the PRPs. On January 23, 1995 the Company received a request from the EPA for information pursuant to Section 401(e) of CERCLA, seeking information relating to the number and contents of drums, barrels and other materials that were sent to the Hansen Container Site, located in Grand Junction, Colorado, for reconditioning, disposal or storage. The EPA provided documentation evidencing two transactions in which the Company sold drums, which the Company believes to have been empty, which may have been reconditioned or stored at the site. The Company has responded to the inquiry, indicating that it has no documentation or knowledge with respect to any other transactions related to the site, and is awaiting further correspondence from the EPA. The Company is not able to estimate its exposure with respect to this site at this time. AIR EMISSIONS. The operations of the Company, including most of its operations in the San Joaquin Valley, are subject to local, state and federal regulations for the control of emissions from sources of air pollution. Legal and regulatory requirements in this area are increasing, and there can be no assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred in the future as a result of new regulatory developments. In particular, the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments will impose additional requirements that may affect the Company's operations, including permitting of existing sources and control of hazardous air pollutants. However, it is impossible to predict accurately the effects, if any, of the Clean Air Act Amendments on the Company at this time. The Company has been and may in the future be subject to administrative enforcement actions for failure to comply 18 strictly with air regulations or permits. These administrative actions are generally resolved by payment of a monetary penalty and correction of any identified deficiencies. Alternatively, regulatory agencies may require the Company to forego construction or operation of certain air emission sources. OTHER. The Company is subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") and comparable state statutes. The OSHA hazard communication standard, the EPA community right-to-know regulations under Title III of the federal Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act and similar state statutes (such as California Proposition 65) require the Company to organize information about hazardous materials used or produced in its operations. Certain of this information must be provided to employees, state and local governmental authorities and local citizens. The Company's facilities in California are also subject to California Proposition 65, which was adopted in 1986 to address discharges and releases of, or exposures to, toxic chemicals in the environment. Proposition 65 makes it illegal to knowingly discharge a listed chemical if the chemical will pass (or probably will pass) into any source of drinking water. It also prohibits companies from knowingly and intentionally exposing any individual to such chemicals through ingestion, inhalation or other exposure pathways without first giving a clear and reasonable warning. Although generally less stringent, the Company's foreign operations are subject to similar foreign laws respecting environmental and worker safety matters. INSURANCE COVERAGE MAINTAINED WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONS The Company maintains insurance policies covering its operations in amounts and areas of coverage normal for a company of its size in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. These coverages include, but are not limited to, workers' compensation, employers' liability, automotive liability and general liability. In addition, an umbrella liability and operator's extra expense policies are maintained. All such insurance is subject to normal deductible levels. The Company does not insure against all risks associated with its business either because insurance is not available or because it has elected not to insure due to prohibitive premium costs. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 1994, the Company had approximately 647 employees, 202 of whom were covered by a collective bargaining agreement which expires on January 31, 1996. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company, its subsidiaries and other related companies are named defendants in several lawsuits and named parties in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. For a description of certain proceedings in which the Company is involved, see Items 1 and 2 "Business and Properties -- Other Business Matters -- Environmental Regulation" and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Production attributable to such properties during 1993 totaled approximately 4.1 MBbls of oil and 21.7 MMcf of natural gas per day (7.7 MBOE per day). <F4> The amounts set forth in this table for 1993 give effect to the sale by the Company of approximately 8.0 MMBOE of proved reserves to Bridge, which sale closed in April 1994. 23 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the year 1994 the Company reported income to common shares of $5.4 million, or $0.06 per share. The reported income is after recognition of a $7.0 million restructuring charge related to a cost reduction program implemented by the Company. At December 31, 1994 the Company's long-term debt totalled $354.3 million, $95.4 million lower than at December 31, 1993, after the refinancing in the second quarter of 1994 which reduced required debt amortization in the near-term and provided additional financial flexibility. See -- Liquidity and Capital Resources. GENERAL As an independent oil and gas producer, the Company's results of operations are dependent upon the difference between the prices received for oil and gas and the costs of finding and producing such resources. A substantial portion of the Company's crude oil production is from long-lived fields where EOR methods are being utilized. The market price of the heavy (i.e., low gravity, high viscosity) and sour (i.e., high sulfur content) crude oils produced in these fields is lower than sweeter, light (i.e., low sulfur and low viscosity) crude oils, reflecting higher transportation and refining costs. In addition, the lifting costs of heavy crude oils are generally higher than the lifting costs of light crude oils. As a result of these narrower margins, even relatively modest changes in crude oil prices may significantly affect the Company's revenues, results of operations, cash flows and proved reserves. In addition, prolonged periods of high or low oil prices may have a material effect on the Company's financial position. The lower price received for the Company's domestic heavy and sour crude oil is reflected in the average sales price of the Company's domestic crude oil and liquids (excluding the effect of hedging transactions) for 1994 of $12.11 per barrel, compared to $15.63 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil (an industry posted price generally indicative of spot prices for sweeter light crude oil). In 1994 the Company's average sales price for California heavy crude oil was $11.31 per barrel, approximately 72% of the average annual posted price for WTI. This ratio is considered positive since historically heavy crude oil has sold for an average of approximately 66% of WTI. Crude oil prices are subject to significant changes in response to fluctuations in the domestic and world supply and demand and other market conditions as well as the world political situation as it affects OPEC, the Middle East and other producing countries. During 1994 the actual average sales price (unhedged) received by the Company ranged from a high of $13.75 per barrel in the third quarter to a low of $10.00 per barrel for the first quarter. Based on operating results for the year 1994, the Company estimates that a $1.00 per barrel increase or decrease in its average domestic crude oil sales prices would result in a corresponding $20.6 million change in income from operations and a $15.5 million change in cash flow from operating activities. The foregoing estimates do not give effect to changes in any other factors, such as the effect of the Company's hedging program or depreciation and depletion, that would result from a change in oil prices. The price of natural gas fluctuates due to weather conditions, the level of natural gas in storage, the relative balance between supply and demand and other economic factors. The actual average sales price (unhedged) received by the Company in 1994 for its natural gas ranged from a high of $2.07 per Mcf in the second quarter to a low of $1.43 per Mcf in the fourth quarter. In response to low prices, the Company curtailed its natural gas production by approximately 1.9 Bcf in September through October 1994. Based on operating results for the year 1994, the Company estimates that a $0.10 per Mcf increase or decrease in its average domestic natural gas sales price would result in a corresponding $4.8 million change in income from operations and a $3.6 million change in cash flow from operating activities. The foregoing estimates do not give effect to changes in any other factors, such as the effect of the Company's hedging program or depletion and depreciation, that would result from a change in natural gas prices. 24 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Adobe Merger was accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations of the Adobe Properties are included in the Company's results of operations with effect from June 1, 1992. REVENUES The following table reflects the components of the Company's crude oil and liquids and natural gas revenues: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 --------- --------- --------- Crude Oil and Liquids Revenues ($/Millions) Sales Domestic California Heavy............. 158.2 151.7 165.7 Other........................ 96.4 127.4 141.0 --------- --------- --------- 254.6 279.1 306.7 Argentina...................... 11.6 12.5 13.9 Indonesia...................... 31.3 23.1 11.8 Hedging.......................... -- -- 9.7 Net Profits Payments.............

Crude oil and liquids revenues declined $13.6 million. The sale of certain domestic properties to Vintage in the fourth quarter of 1993 and to Bridge in the second quarter of 1994 resulted in a decrease in oil 25 revenues of approximately $20.4 million. The effect of increased volumes of California heavy and Indonesian crude, approximately $14.4 million, and lower net profits payments were partially offset by the effect of lower sales prices. The reduction in net profits payments results from the payout in 1993 of a net profits agreement with respect to certain of the Company's domestic properties. Daily average oil production in 1994 decreased approximately 1,000 barrels per day from 1993. The 3,800 barrel per day decrease in oil production resulting from the sale of properties to Vintage and Bridge was partially offset by a 1,300 barrel per day increase in California heavy crude and a 1,600 barrel per day increase in Indonesian production. Natural gas revenues declined from $107.8 million in 1993 to $83.4 million in 1994. The sales of properties to Vintage and Bridge resulted in a decrease in natural gas revenues of approximately $13.1 million and lower sales prices resulted in a reduction in revenues of approximately $7.6 million. In addition, revenues for 1993 included a positive adjustment of $3.2 million related to production in prior periods from certain nonoperated properties. Net profits payments in 1994 were $3.3 million lower than in 1993, reflecting the previously discussed payout in 1993 of a net profits agreement. Natural gas sales volumes decreased from 165.4 MMcf per day in 1993 to 136.6 MMcf per day in 1994 with the property sales to Vintage and Bridge accounting for approximately 18.6 MMcf per day of the decrease. The Company's curtailment program (see -- General) resulted in a reduction of approximately 5.1 MMcf per day and the prior period adjustment included in 1993 represented volumes of approximately 4.0 MMcf per day. Total revenues increased approximately 2% from $427.5 million in 1992 to $436.9 million in 1993. Crude oil and liquids revenues decreased from $333.6 million in 1992 to $307.3 million in 1993 as the effect of lower sales prices more than offset the effect of increased sales volumes. In addition, revenues for 1992 included gains on hedging transactions of $9.7 million. Crude oil and liquids sales volumes increased from 62.5 MBbls per day in 1992 to 66.7 MBbls per day in 1993, reflecting increased sales of California heavy crude as well as a full year of volumes from the Adobe Properties. Natural gas revenues increased from $74.8 million in 1992 to $107.8 million in 1993. Sales volumes increased from 126.3 MMcf per day in 1992 to 165.4 MMcf per day in 1993, primarily reflecting a full year of volumes from Adobe Properties. In addition, natural gas revenues for 1993 were reduced by losses on hedging transactions of $8.2 million compared to losses of $0.5 million in 1992. COSTS AND EXPENSES Costs and expenses for 1994 totalled $343.2 million compared to $549.9 million for 1993. Costs and expenses for 1993 included impairments of oil and gas properties of $99.3 million and restructuring charges of $38.6 million and costs and expenses for 1994 included restructuring charges of $7.0 million (see -- Liquidity and Capital Resources). The property sales to Vintage and Bridge resulted in reductions in production and operating costs and depletion, depreciation and amortization ("DD&A") of $12.4 million and $11.5 million, respectively. The remainder of the decrease in DD&A is primarily attributable to the effect of the property impairments taken in the fourth quarter of 1993. Exploration expenses were down $10.6 million primarily reflecting lower geological and geophysical costs with respect to foreign operations and lower overhead. 26 On a per barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") produced basis, the Company's costs and expenses were generally lower in 1994. Asset sales and increased operating efficiencies resulted in a $0.11 per BOE reduction in production and operating costs and the asset impairments taken in the fourth quarter of 1993 were the primary factor contributing to the $0.68 per BOE reduction in DD&A. General and administrative expenses were down 10% and exploration costs were down 30% per BOE. The following table sets forth, on a BOE basis, certain of the Company's costs and expenses (in dollars): 1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Production and operating costs per BOE (a).............................. 4.65 4.76 5.02 Exploration, including dry hole costs per BOE............................ 0.63 0.90 0.84 Depletion, depreciation and amortization per BOE............... 3.76 4.44 4.79 General and administrative costs per BOE................................ 0.85 0.94 1.01 Taxes other than income per BOE (b).. 0.80 0.79 0.80 Interest, net, per BOE (c)(d)........ 1.08 1.30 1.58 (a) Excluding related production, severance and ad valorem taxes. (b) Includes production, severance and ad valorem taxes. (c) Reflects interest expense less amounts capitalized and interest income. (d) Excludes effects of (i) benefit of adjustments to provisions for potential state income tax obligations of $0.36 per BOE in 1994; (ii) benefit of adjustment to provisions made in prior periods with respect to interest on certain federal income tax audit adjustments of $0.07 per BOE in 1994; and (iii) benefit of Federal income tax audit refund and revised tax sharing agreement with the Company's former parent of $0.36 per BOE in 1993. Costs and expenses increased from $370.0 million in 1992 to $549.9 million in 1993. Costs and expenses for 1993 included impairments of oil and gas properties of $99.3 million and restructuring charges of $38.6 million (see -- Liquidity and Capital Resources). The increase in 1993 in production and operating costs and taxes (other than income) primarily reflects a full year's costs for the Adobe Properties. Exploration costs were $5.5 million higher, primarily reflecting higher geological and geophysical and dry hole costs. DD&A increased $6.4 million reflecting a full year's costs for the Adobe Properties, partially offset by reduced amortization rates with respect to certain unproved properties. General and administrative costs for 1993 include a $1.8 million charge related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 -- "Employer's Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". Interest income for 1993 includes $6.8 million related to a $10.0 million refund received as a result of the completion of the audit of the Company's federal income tax returns for 1971 through 1980. Interest expense for 1994 includes a credit of $2.4 million reflecting adjustments to provisions made in prior periods with respect to interest on certain potential federal income tax audit adjustments and a credit of $11.5 million reflecting adjustments to provisions made in prior periods for potential state income tax obligations. Interest expense for 1993 includes a third quarter credit of $5.7 million related to a revision to a tax sharing agreement with the Company's former parent. Other income (expense) for 1994 includes: (i) a $2.4 million gain on the sale of the Company's interest in a company which was acquired in the Adobe merger in 1992; (ii) a net $1.6 million charge with respect to the Company's investment in Hadson; and (iii) a $5.0 million charge with respect to certain litigation. Other income (expense) for 1993 includes a $4.0 million charge related to the accrual of a contingent loss with respect to a former affiliate of Adobe. Income taxes for 1994 includes a $3.0 million credit reflecting the benefit of adjustments to provisions made in prior periods with respect to certain potential federal income tax audit adjustments and a $2.6 million credit reflecting the benefit of adjustments to provisions made in prior periods for potential state income tax obligations. Income taxes for 1993 includes: (i) a $3.0 million 27 charge to reflect the increase in the Company's deferred income tax liability as a result of the increase in the federal income tax rate; (ii) a $3.2 million benefit related to the previously discussed federal tax audit refund; (iii) a $1.8 million benefit related to the previously discussed revision to a tax sharing agreement with the Company's former parent; and (iv) a $1.0 million benefit relating to prior periods resulting from the restructuring of certain of the Company's foreign operations which were conducted through foreign incorporated subsidiaries. The increase in the Company's preferred dividend requirement reflects the issuance of 10.7 million shares of $0.732 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the second quarter of 1994. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash flow from operating activities is a function of the volumes of oil and gas produced from the Company's properties and the sales prices received therefor. Since crude oil and natural gas are depleting assets, unless the Company replaces the oil and gas produced from its properties, the Company's assets will be depleted over time and its ability to incur debt at constant or declining prices will be reduced. The Company increased its proved reserves (net of production and sales) by approximately 19% over the five years ended December 31, 1994; however, no assurances can be given that such increase will occur in the future. Historically, the Company has generally funded capital and exploration expenditures and working capital requirements from cash provided by operating activities. Depending upon the future levels of operating cash flows, which are significantly affected by oil and gas prices, the restrictions on additional borrowings included in certain of the Company's debt agreements, together with debt service requirements and dividends, may limit the cash available for future exploration, development and acquisition activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totalled $124.5 million in 1994; net cash used in investing activities (excluding proceeds from the sales of properties) in such period totalled $138.8 million. The decrease in accounts receivable from $87.4 million at December 31, 1993 to $76.2 million at December 31, 1994 primarily reflects lower receivables with respect to natural gas sales due to lower prices and an acceleration of the collection of such receivables resulting from the marketing arrangement with Hadson and the collection of certain amounts with respect to the property sale to Vintage which had been held in escrow, partially offset by an increase in receivables for oil sales, primarily due to higher sales prices. The decrease in accounts payable from $93.5 million at December 31, 1993 to $84.1 million at December 31, 1994 primarily reflects the payment in 1994 of certain restructuring charges which were accrued in 1993. The decrease in other long-term obligations from $48.8 million at December 31, 1993 to $28.0 million at December 31, 1994 primarily relates to the adjustments made to provisions for potential federal income tax audit adjustments and potential state income tax obligations discussed in Results of Operations. In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company adopted a corporate restructuring program which included (i) the concentration of capital spending in the Company's core operating areas, (ii) the disposition of non-core assets, (iii) the elimination of the $0.04 per share quarterly Common Stock dividend and (iv) an evaluation of the Company's capital and cost structures to examine ways to increase flexibility and strengthen the Company's financial performance. The restructuring program has resulted in improved liquidity, reduced required debt amortization in the near-term and additional financial flexibility. See Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties -- Corporate Restructuring Program. The Company's 1994 capital program totalled approximately $130 million, a level which allowed the Company to more than replace its 1994 production. The Company expects to expend approximately $190 million on its 1995 program. However, the actual amount expended by the Company in 1995 will be based upon numerous factors, the majority of which are outside its control, including, without limitation, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and the outlook therefor and the availability of funds. 28 Effective March 16, 1994 the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Bank Facility") which consists of a five year secured revolving credit agreement maturing December 31, 1998 ("Facility A") and a three year unsecured revolving credit facility maturing December 31, 1996 ("Facility B"). The aggregate borrowing limits under the terms of the Bank Facility are $125.0 million (up to $90.0 million under Facility A and up to $35.0 million under Facility B). Interest rates under the Bank Facility are tied to LIBOR or the bank's prime rate with the actual interest rate reflecting certain ratios based upon the Company's ability to repay its outstanding debt and the value and projected timing of production of the Company's oil and gas reserves. These and other similar ratios will also affect the Company's ability to borrow under the Bank Facility and the timing and amount of any required repayments and corresponding commitment reductions. At December 31, 1994, no amounts were outstanding under the terms of Facility A and $6.3 million in letters of credit were outstanding under the terms of Facility B. The Company has three short-term uncommitted lines of credit totalling $50.0 million which are used to meet short-term cash needs. Interest rates on borrowings under these lines of credit are typically lower than rates paid under the Bank Facility. At December 31, 1994 no amounts were outstanding under these lines of credit. Certain of the Company's credit agreements and the indenture for the Debentures restrict the Company's ability to take certain actions, including covenants that restrict the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and to pay dividends on its capital stock. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, at December 31, 1994 the Company could incur up to $188.1 million of additional indebtedness and pay dividends of up to $114.5 million on its aggregate capital stock (including its common stock, 7% Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred) with the amount payable on its common stock limited to $52.7 million. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Almost all phases of the Company's oil and gas operations are subject to stringent environmental regulation by governmental authorities. Such regulation has increased the costs of planning, designing, drilling, installing, operating and abandoning oil and gas wells and other facilities. The Company has expended significant financial and managerial resources to comply with such regulations. Although the Company believes its operations and facilities are in general compliance with applicable environmental regulations, risks of substantial costs and liabilities are inherent in oil and gas operations. It is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies or claims for damages to property, employees, other persons and the environment resulting from the Company's operations, could result in significant costs and liabilities in the future. As it has done in the past, the Company intends to fund its cost of environmental compliance from operating cash flows. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. DIVIDENDS Dividends on the Company's 7% Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred are cumulative at an annual rate of $1.40 per share and $0.732 per share, respectively. No dividends may be declared or paid with respect to the Company's common stock if any dividends with respect to the convertible preferred stock or Series A Preferred are in arrears. As part of the 1993 restructuring program, the Company eliminated the payment of its $0.04 per share quarterly dividend on its common stock. The determination of the amount of future cash dividends, if any, to be declared and paid on the Company's common stock is in the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend on dividend requirements with respect to the preferred stock, the Company's financial condition, earnings and funds from operations, the level of capital and exploration expenditures, dividend restrictions in financing agreements, future business prospects and other matters the Board of Directors deems relevant. 29 ITEM 8.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements of Santa Fe Energy Resources, Inc. ("Santa Fe" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries. The accounts of Santa Fe Energy Partners, L.P., (the "Partnership") are included on a proportional basis until September 1993 when Santa Fe purchased all the Partnership's outstanding Depositary Units and undeposited LP Units other than those units held by Santa Fe and its affiliates. On September 27, 1993 the Company exercised its right under the Agreement of Limited Partnership to purchase all of the Partnership's outstanding Depositary Units and undeposited LP Units, other than those units held by the Company and its affiliates, at a redemption price of $4.9225 per unit. Consideration for the 5,749,500 outstanding units totalled $28.3 million. The acquisition of the units has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations of the Partnership attributable to the units acquired is included in the Company's results of operations with effect from October 1, 1993. The purchase price has been allocated primarily to oil and gas properties. References herein to the "Company" or "Santa Fe" relate to Santa Fe Energy Resources, Inc., individually or together with its consolidated subsidiaries; references to the "Partnership" relate to Santa Fe Energy Partners, L.P. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas exploration and production activities. Costs (both tangible and intangible) of productive wells and development dry holes, as well as the cost of prospective acreage, are capitalized. The costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells which do not find proved reserves are expensed upon determination that the well does not justify commercial development. Other exploratory costs, including geological and geophysical costs and delay rentals, are charged to expense as incurred. Depletion and depreciation of proved properties are computed on an individual field basis using the unit-of-production method based upon proved oil and gas reserves attributable to the field. Certain other oil and gas properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis. Individual proved properties are reviewed periodically to determine if the carrying value of the field exceeds the estimated undiscounted future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves attributable to the field. Based on this review and the continuing evaluation of development plans, economics and other factors, if appropriate, the Company records impairments (additional depletion and depreciation) to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future net revenues. Such impairments totaled $99.3 million in 1993 and there were none in 1994 or 1992. The Company provides for future abandonment and site restoration costs with respect to certain of its oil and gas properties. The Company estimates that with respect to these properties such future costs total approximately $15.2 million and such amount is being accrued over the expected life of the properties. At December 31, 1994 Accumulated Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment includes $15.0 million with respect to such costs. The value of undeveloped acreage is aggregated and the portion of such costs estimated to be nonproductive, based on historical experience, is amortized to expense over the average holding period. Additional amortization may be recognized based upon periodic assessment of prospect evaluation results. The cost of properties determined to be productive is transferred to proved properties; the cost of properties determined to be nonproductive is charged to accumulated amortization. 37 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses arising from sales of properties are included in income currently. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues from the sale of petroleum produced are generally recognized upon the passage of title, net of royalties and net profits interests. Crude oil revenues include the value of crude oil consumed in operations with an equal amount charged to operating expenses. Such amounts totalled $4.8 million in 1992, $1.2 million in 1993 and $1.9 million in 1994. In 1990 the Company initiated a hedging program designed to provide a certain minimum level of cash flow from its sales of crude oil. Settlements were included in oil revenues in the period the oil is sold. In the year ended December 31, 1992 hedges resulted in an increase in oil revenues of $9.7 million. The Company had no open crude oil hedging contracts during 1993 or 1994. Revenues from natural gas production are generally recorded using the entitlement method, net of royalties and net profits interests. Sales proceeds in excess of the Company's entitlement are included in Deferred Revenues and the Company's share of sales taken by others is included in Other Assets. At December 31, 1994 the Company's deferred revenues for sales proceeds received in excess of the Company's entitlement was $5.1 million with respect to 4.1 MMcf and the asset related to the Company's share of sales taken by others was $4.6 million with respect to 3.3 MMcf. In the third quarter of 1992 the Company initiated a hedging program with respect to its sales of natural gas. The Company has used various instruments whereby monthly settlements are based on the differences between the price or range of prices specified in the instruments and the settlement price of certain natural gas futures contracts quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In instances where the applicable settlement price is less than the price specified in the contract, the Company receives a settlement based on the difference; in instances where the applicable settlement price is higher than the specified prices the Company pays an amount based on the difference. The instruments utilized by the Company differ from futures contracts in that there is no contractual obligation which requires or allows for the future delivery of the product. In 1992, 1993 and 1994 hedges resulted in a reduction in natural gas revenues of $0.5 million, $8.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The Company had no open natural gas hedging contracts at December 31, 1994. Revenues from crude oil marketing and trading represent the gross margin resulting from such activities. Revenues from such activities are net of costs of sales of $247.3 million in 1992, $225.9 million in 1993 and $204.7 million in 1994. Revenues from natural gas systems are net of the cost of natural gas purchased and resold. Such costs totalled $43.8 million in 1992, and $49.9 million in 1993. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts Receivable relates primarily to sales of oil and gas and amounts due from joint interest partners for expenditures made by the Company on behalf of such partners. The Company reviews the financial condition of potential purchasers and partners prior to signing sales or joint interest agreements. At December 31, 1994 and 1993 the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, which is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction in accounts receivable, totaled $3.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Accounts receivable totalling $3.8 million, $0.1 million and $1.1 million were written off as uncollectible in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. 38 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (average price or first-in, first-out) or market. Crude oil inventories at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and materials and supplies inventories at such dates were $7.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized, as appropriate, depending on whether such expenditures provide future economic benefits. Liabilities are recognized when the expenditures are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Measurement of liabilities is based on currently enacted laws and regulations, existing technology and undiscounted site-specific costs. Generally, such recognition coincides with the Company's commitment to a formal plan of action. INCOME TAXES The Company follows the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the tax rate for the period in which those amounts are expected to be received or paid, based on a scheduling of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Under this method of accounting for income taxes, any future changes in income tax rates will affect deferred income tax balances and financial results. (2) CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company adopted a corporate restructuring program which included (i) the concentration of capital spending in the Company's core operating areas; (ii) the disposition of non-core assets; (iii) the elimination of the $0.04 per share quarterly common stock dividend; and (iv) an evaluation of the Company's capital and cost structures. The Company's non-core asset disposition program included the sale of its natural gas gathering and processing assets to Hadson Corporation ("Hadson") (see Note 3), the sale to Vintage Petroleum, Inc. ("Vintage") of certain southern California and Gulf Coast oil and gas producing properties and the sale to Bridge Oil (U.S.A.) Inc. ("Bridge") of certain mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain oil and gas producing properties and undeveloped acreage. Based on the evaluation of its capital and cost structures, the Company (i) implemented a cost reduction program which included the reduction of its salaried work force by approximately 20%, an improvement in the efficiency of its information systems and reductions in other general and administrative and production and operating costs and (ii) issued $100 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Debentures and 10,700,000 shares of $.732 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred") and used a portion of the proceeds to retire certain of its long-term debt (see Note 7). In implementing the corporate restructuring program, in 1993 the Company recorded restructuring charges of $38.6 million comprised of (i) losses on property dispositions of $27.8 million; (ii) long-term debt repayment penalties and interest of $8.6 million; and (iii) accruals for certain personnel benefits and related costs of $2.2 million. In the first quarter of 1994 the Company recorded additional restructuring charges of $7.0 million comprised of severance, benefits and relocation expenses associated with the cost reduction program. SALE TO VINTAGE. In November 1993 the Company completed the sale of certain southern California and Gulf Coast producing properties for net proceeds totalling $42.0 million in cash, $31.5 million of which was collected in 1993. The Company's income from operations for 1993 includes $2.7 million attributable to the assets sold to Vintage. 39 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) SALE TO BRIDGE. In April 1994 the Company completed the sale to Bridge of certain Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain producing and nonproducing oil and gas properties for net proceeds totalling $46.7 million in cash. The net book value of these assets was included in Assets Held for Sale at December 31, 1993. The Company's income from operations for 1994 and 1993 includes $2.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, attributable to the assets sold to Bridge. OTHER DISPOSITIONS. The estimated realizable value of certain oil and gas properties which the Company disposed of in 1994, $1.0 million, is included in Assets Held for Sale at December 31, 1993. In the first quarter of 1994 the Company sold its interest in certain other oil and gas properties, in which it had no remaining basis, for $8.3 million. (3) INVESTMENT IN HADSON In December 1993 the Company completed a transaction with Hadson under the terms of which the Company sold the common stock of Adobe Gas Pipeline Company ("AGPC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary which held the Company's natural gas gathering and processing assets, to Hadson in exchange for Hadson 11.25% preferred stock with a face value of $52.0 million and 40% of Hadson's common stock. The Company accounted for the sale as a non-monetary transaction and the investment in Hadson was valued at $56.2 million, the carrying value of the Company's investment in AGPC. The Company's investment in Hadson is being accounted for on the equity basis. The Company's income from operations for 1993 includes $1.6 million attributable to the assets sold to Hadson. Also in December 1993 the Company signed a seven-year gas sales contract with Hadson under the terms of which Hadson markets substantially all of the Company's domestic natural gas production at market prices as defined by published monthly indices for relevant production locations. In the fourth quarter of 1994 the Company and Hadson amended the gas sales agreement whereby the Company advanced Hadson $5.0 million, which advance may be renewed monthly through April 1995, and bears interest at one percent above the prime rate and is payable monthly. In November 1994 the Company and Hadson settled a lawsuit related to certain of the assets sold to Hadson by the Company in December 1993. The settlement totalled $5.7 million and the Company's share, approximately $3.3 million, is included in Other Income (Expense) in the income statement. The Company paid the full amount of the settlement and Hadson gave the Company a $2.4 million ten-year note for its share. The note bears interest at 9%, payable annually, and the principal amount is due at maturity. The following table summarizes the Company's investment in Hadson and the changes in such investment during the year ended December 31, 1994 (in millions of dollars): Investment at December 31, 1993...... 56.2 Preferred dividends, paid in-kind.... 4.5 Equity in losses and valuation adjustments........................

(4) MERGER WITH ADOBE RESOURCES CORPORATION On May 19, 1992 Adobe Resources Corporation ("Adobe"), an oil and gas exploration and production company, was merged with and into Santa Fe (the "Merger"). The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations of the properties acquired (the "Adobe Properties") are included in Santa Fe's results of operations effective June 1, 1992. To consummate the Merger, the Company issued 24.9 million shares of common stock valued at $205.5 million, 5.0 million shares of convertible preferred stock valued at $80.0 million, assumed long-term bank debt and other liabilities of $140.0 million and $35.0 million, respectively, and incurred $13.8 million in related costs. The Company also recorded a $19.7 million deferred tax liability with respect to the difference between the book and tax basis in the assets acquired. Certain merger-related costs incurred by Adobe and paid by Santa Fe totaling $10.9 million were charged to income in the second quarter of 1992. The Merger constituted a "change of control" as defined in certain of the Company's employee benefit plans and employment agreements (see Notes 10 and 12). 41 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) In a separate transaction in January 1992, the Company purchased three producing properties from Adobe for $14.2 million. (5) SANTA FE ENERGY TRUST In November 1992 5,725,000 Depository Units ("Trust Units"), each consisting of beneficial ownership of one unit of undivided beneficial interest in the Santa Fe Energy Trust (the "Trust") and a $20 face amount beneficial ownership interest in a $1,000 face amount zero coupon United States Treasury obligation maturing on or about February 15, 2008, were sold in a public offering. The Trust consists of certain oil and gas properties conveyed by Santa Fe. A total of $114.5 million was received from public investors, of which $38.7 million was used to purchase the Treasury obligations and $5.7 million was used to pay underwriting commissions and discounts. Santa Fe received the remaining $70.1 million and 575,000 Trust Units. A portion of the proceeds received by the Company was used to retire $30.0 million of the debt incurred in connection with the Merger and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes including possible acquisitions. For any calendar quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2002, the Trust will receive additional royalty payments to the extent that it needs such payments to distribute $0.40 per Depository Unit per quarter. The source of such additional royalty payments, if needed, will be limited to the Company's remaining royalty interest in certain of the properties conveyed to the Trust. If such additional payments are made, certain proceeds otherwise payable to the Trust in subsequent quarters may be reduced to recoup the amount of such additional payments. The aggregate amount of the additional royalty payments (net of any amounts recouped) will be limited to $20.0 million on a revolving basis. For operations from the inception of the Trust through December 31, 1994 the Company has been required to make additional royalty payments totalling $0.4 million in 1993 and $1.1 million in 1994. At December 31, 1993 the Company held 575,000 Trust Units. In the first quarter of 1994 the Company sold the Trust Units for $11.3 million. The Company's investment in the Trust Units at December 31, 1993, $10.4 million, is included in Assets Held for Sale in the Balance Sheet. At December 31, 1994 Accounts Payable included $2.7 million due to the Trust and at December 31, 1993 Accounts Receivable included $0.2 million due from the Trust and Accounts Payable included $1.9 million due to the Trust.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (7) FINANCING AND DEBT Long-term debt at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consisted of (in millions of dollars): DECEMBER 31, -------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 -------------------- -------------------- CURRENT LONG-TERM CURRENT LONG-TERM ------- --------- ------- --------- SFER Senior Notes..................... -- 245.0 30.0 310.0 11% Senior Subordinated Debentures..................... -- 99.3 -- -- Revolving and Term Credit Agreement...................... -- -- 1.3 48.7 Notes Payable to Bank............ 3.9 6.1 3.8 11.3 Term-Loan........................ -- -- 1.2 11.4 Partnership Credit Agreement................. -- -- 8.0 24.0 ------- --------- ------- --------- 3.9 350.4 44.3 405.4 ======= ========= ======= ========= Aggregate total maturities of long-term debt during the next five years are as follows: 1995 -- $3.9 million; 1996 -- $6.1 million; 1997 -- $35.0 million; 1998 -- $35.0 million; and 1999 -- $25.0 million. Effective March 16, 1994 the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Bank Facility") which replaced the Revolving and Term Credit Agreement the Company had executed in 1992. The Bank Facility, consists of a five year secured revolving credit agreement maturing December 31, 1998 ("Facility A") and a three year unsecured revolving credit facility maturing December 31, 1996 ("Facility B"). The aggregate borrowing limits under the terms of the Bank Facility are $125.0 million (up to $90.0 million under Facility A and up to $35.0 million under Facility B). Interest rates under the Bank Facility are tied to LIBOR or the bank's prime rate with the actual interest rate reflecting certain ratios based upon the Company's ability to repay its outstanding debt and the value and projected timing of production of the Company's oil and gas reserves. These and other similar ratios will also affect the Company's ability to borrow under the Bank Facility and the timing and amount of any required repayments and corresponding commitment reductions. At December 31, 1994, no amounts were outstanding under the terms of Facility A and $6.3 million in letters of credit were outstanding under the terms of Facility B. In a public offering in May 1994 the Company issued $100.0 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2004 (the "Debentures"). The Debentures were issued for 99.266% of face value and the Company received proceeds of $96.1 million, after deducting related costs and expenses of $3.2 million. The Debentures, which mature May 15, 2004, are not redeemable prior to May 15, 1999 and may be redeemed after such date at the option of the Company at prices set forth in the indenture for the Debentures. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to redeem the Debentures for 101% of the principal amount. The Debentures are general unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures, together with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred (see Note 10), to retire certain of its then outstanding long-term debt. The Company retired $65.0 million of Senior Notes, the $12.3 million outstanding balance of a term loan agreement which the Company had executed in 1991 in connection with the purchase of certain producing properties, the $30.0 million outstanding balance of the Partnership's credit agreement and the $25.0 million outstanding balance of the Bank Facility. 43 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) On April 11, 1990 SFER issued $365.0 million of serial unsecured Senior Notes with interest rates averaging 10.35%. At December 31, 1994, $245.0 million in Senior Notes were outstanding and are to be repaid, $35.0 million in 1997 and 1998 and $25.0 million per year in 1999 through 2005. In 1991 the Company borrowed a total of $18.2 million from an Argentine bank in connection with the purchase of an interest in a producing oil field in Argentina. The loan bears interest at the higher of 13.06% or LIBOR plus 2%. The Company has three short-term uncommitted lines of credit totalling $50.0 million which are used to meet short-term cash needs. Interest rates on borrowings under these lines of credit are typically lower than rates paid under the Bank Facility. At December 31, 1994 no amounts were outstanding under these lines of credit. Certain of the Company's credit agreements and the indenture for the Debentures restrict the Company's ability to take certain actions, including covenants that restrict the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and to pay dividends on its capital stock. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, at December 31, 1994 the Company could incur up to $188.1 million of additional indebtedness and pay dividends of up to $114.5 million on its aggregate capital stock (including its common stock, 7% Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred) with the amount payable on its common stock limited to $52.7 million. 44 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (9) CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK The convertible preferred stock issued in connection with the Merger is non-voting and entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate equivalent to $1.40 per share. The holders of the convertible preferred shares may, at their option, convert any or all such shares into 1.3913 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company may, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Merger and upon the occurrence of a "Special Conversion Event", convert all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock into common stock at the initial conversion rate of 1.3913 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, plus additional shares in respect to accrued and unpaid dividends. A Special Conversion Event is deemed to have occurred when the average daily closing price for a share of the Company's common stock for 20 of 30 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds 125% of the quotient of $20.00 divided by the then applicable conversion rate (approximately $18.00 per share at a conversion rate of 1.3913). Upon the occurrence of the "First Ownership Change" of Santa Fe, each holder of shares of convertible preferred stock shall have the right, at the holder's option, to elect to have all of such holder's shares redeemed for $20.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid interest and dividends. The First Ownership Change shall be deemed to have occurred when any person or group, together with any affiliates or associates, becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock of Santa Fe. (10) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK In 1992, 1993 and 1994 the Company issued a total of 1.0 million previously unissued shares of common stock in connection with certain employee benefit and compensation plans. Also in 1992, the Company issued 24.9 million previously unissued shares of common stock in connection with the Merger. The Company declared dividends to common shares of $0.16 per share in 1992 and $0.12 per share in 1993.

The Series A Preferred was issued at $8.875 per share and the Company received total proceeds of $91.4 million after deducting related costs and expenses of $3.6 million. Each share of Series A Preferred mandatorily converts into one share of common stock on May 15, 1998 and the Company has the option to redeem the shares, in whole or in part, on or after May 15, 1997 and prior to May 15, 1998 at prices set forth in the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred, payable in common stock. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible at the option of the holder into 0.8474 shares of common stock at any time prior to May 15, 1998. The Series A Preferred ranks prior to common stock both as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation. The holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends, accruing at the rate per share of $0.732 per annum ($0.183 per quarter) payable quarterly in arrears. PREFERRED STOCK The Board of Directors of the Company is empowered, without approval of the shareholders, to cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in one or more series, and to determine the number of shares in each series and the rights, preferences and limitations of each series. Among the specific matters which may be determined by the Board of Directors are: the annual rate of dividends; the 46 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) redemption price, if any; the terms of a sinking or purchase fund, if any; the amount payable in the event of any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; conversion rights, if any; and voting powers, if any. ACCUMULATED DEFICIT At December 31, 1994 and 1993 Accumulated Deficit included dividends in excess of retained earnings of $89.8 million. 1990 INCENTIVE STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN The Company has adopted the Santa Fe Energy Resources 1990 Incentive Stock Compensation Plan (the "Plan") under the terms of which the Company may grant options and awards with respect to no more than 5,000,000 shares of common stock to officers and key employees. Options granted in 1991 and prior are fully vested and expire in 2000.

The options are exercisable on an accelerated basis beginning one year and ending three years after grant in certain circumstances. If the market value per share of the Company's common stock (sustained in all events for at least 60 days) exceeds $15, 25 percent of the options shall become exercisable; in the event the market value per share exceeds $20, 50 percent of the options shall become exercisable; and in the event the market value exceeds $25, 100 percent shall become exercisable. Unexercised options would be forfeited in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination. Vested options are exercisable for a period of one year following termination due to death, disability or retirement. In the event of termination by the Company for any reason there is no prorata vesting of unvested options.

The consummation of the Merger resulted in a "change of control" as defined in the Plan and resulted in the vesting of 313,262 shares of restricted stock which had been awarded in prior periods. The Company recognized compensation expense totaling $1.4 million as a result of the vesting. In 1994 the Company issued 8,168 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and 93,255 common shares in accordance with the terms of certain other employee compensation plans. 47 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (11) PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PENSION PLANS The Company has a defined benefit retirement plan (the "SFER Plan") covering substantially all salaried employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements and a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan (the "Supplemental Plan"). The Supplemental Plan will pay benefits to participants in the SFER Plan in those instances where the SFER Plan formula produces a benefit in excess of limits established by ERISA and the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Benefits payable under the SFER Plan are based on years of service and compensation during the five highest paid years of service during the ten years immediately preceding retirement. Benefits accruing to the Company's employees under the SFP Plan have been assumed by the SFER Plan. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually not less than the minimum required by ERISA and not more than the maximum amount deductible for income tax purposes. In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company established a new pension plan with respect to certain persons employed in foreign locations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS The Company provides health care and life insurance benefits for substantially all employees who retire under the provisions of a Company-sponsored retirement plan and their dependents. Participation in the plans is voluntary and requires a monthly contribution by the employee. Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106 -- "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions". The Statement requires the accrual, during the years the employee renders service, of the expected cost of providing postretirement benefits to the employee and the employee's beneficiaries and covered dependents. The following table sets forth the plan's funded status at December 31, 1994 and 1993 (in millions of dollars): DECEMBER 31, ----------------- 1994 1993 ---- ---- Plan assets, at fair value........... -- -- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation Retirees...........................

Such amounts totalled $0.3 million in 1992. Estimated costs and liabilities have been developed assuming trend rates for growth in future health care costs beginning with 8.0% for 1994 graded to 6.0% (5.5% for post age 65) by the year 2000 and remaining constant thereafter. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rate by one percent each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 by $0.8 million and the aggregate of the service cost and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1995 by $0.2 million. SAVINGS PLAN The Company has a savings plan, which became effective November 1, 1990, available to substantially all salaried employees and intended to qualify as a deferred compensation plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "401(k) Plan"). The Company will match employee 51 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) contributions for an amount up to 4% of each employee's base salary. In addition, if at the end of each fiscal year the Company's performance for such year has exceeded certain predetermined criteria, each participant will receive an additional matching contribution equal to 50% of the regular matching contribution. The Company's contributions to the 401(k) Plan, which are charged to expense, totaled $1.3 million in 1992, $1.5 million in 1993 and $1.2 million in 1994. In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company established a new savings plan with respect to certain personnel employed in foreign locations. The plan is an unsecured creditor of the Company and at December 31, 1994 the Company's liability with respect to the plan totalled $0.1 million. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company adopted SFAS No. 112 -- "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". The Statement requires the accrual of the estimated costs of benefits provided by an employer to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. Such benefits include salary continuation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits, disability-related benefits, job training and counseling and continuation of benefits such as health care and life insurance coverage. The adoption of SFAS No. 112 resulted in a charge to earnings of $1.8 million in 1993. (12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES INDEMNITY AGREEMENT WITH SFP At the time of the Spin-Off, the Company and SFP entered into an agreement to protect SFP from federal and state income taxes, penalties and interest that would be incurred by SFP if the Spin-off were determined to be a taxable event resulting primarily from actions taken by the Company during a one-year period that ended December 4, 1991. If the Company were required to make payments pursuant to the agreement, such payments could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition; however, the Company does not believe that it took any actions during such one-year period that would have such an effect on the Spin-Off. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality control affect the Company in all of its oil and gas operations. The Company has been identified as one of over 250 potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at a superfund site in Los Angeles County, California. The site was operated by a third party as a waste disposal facility from 1948 until 1983. The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") is requiring the PRPs to undertake remediation of the site in several phases, which include site monitoring and leachate control, gas control and final remediation. In 1989 the EPA and a group of PRPs that includes the Company entered into a consent decree covering the site monitoring and leachate control phases of remediation. The Company is a member of the group Coalition Undertaking Remediation Efforts ("CURE") which is responsible for constructing and operating the leachate treatment plant. Treatment tests will begin shortly. Site monitoring and maintenance will continue throughout the life of the facility. The Company's share of costs with respect to this phase are expected to total approximately $2.4 million ($1.3 million after recoveries from working interest participants in the unit in which the wastes were generated). Another consent decree provides for the predesign, design and construction of a gas plant to harness and market methane gas emissions. The Company is a member of the New CURE group which is responsible for the gas plant construction and operation and landfill cover. Currently, New CURE is in the design stage of the gas plant. The liability with respect to this phase has not been capped but is estimated to be approximately $130.0 million. The Company's share of costs of this 52 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) phase is expected to be of approximately the same magnitude as that of the first phase and such costs have been provided for in the financial statements. As previously discussed, the Company has provided for its share of costs with respect to the site monitoring, leachate control and gas control phases; however, it cannot currently estimate the cost of any subsequent phases of work or final remediation which may be required by the EPA. Another consent decree is currently being executed by the PRPs and will be logged with the court for approval. This consent decree allows for the settlement of the pending lawsuits against the municipalities and transporters not named by the EPA. The settlement totals approximately $70.0 million of which approximately $55.0 million will be credited against future expenses. The Company has entered into a Joint Defense Agreement with the other PRPs to defend against a lawsuit filed September 7, 1994 by ninety-five homeowners alleging, among other things, nuisance, trespass, strict liability and infliction of emotional distress. At this stage of the lawsuit the Company is not able to estimate costs or potential liability but the defendants intend to aggressively pursue the defense and discovery once all defendants have been served and answers have been filed. In 1989, Adobe received requests from the EPA for information pursuant to Section 104(e) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") with respect to the D. L. Mud and Gulf Coast Vacuum Services superfund sites located in Abbeville, Louisiana. With respect to the Gulf Coast Site the Company has entered into a sharing agreement with other PRP'S to participate in the final remediation and a design plan has been submitted and is awaiting approval by the EPA. The Company's share of the remediation, which has been provided for in the financial statements, is approximately $600,000 and includes its proportionate share of those PRPs who do not have the financial resources to provide their share of the work at the site. A former site owner has already conducted remedial activities at the D. L. Mud Site under a state agency agreement. On April 4, 1994, the Company received a request from the EPA for information pursuant to Section 104(e) of CERCLA and a letter ordering the Company and seven other PRPs to negotiate with the EPA regarding implementation of a remedial plan for a site located in Santa Fe Springs, California. The Company owned the property on which the site is located from 1921 to 1932. During that time the property was leased to another company and in 1932 the property was sold to that company. During the time the other company leased or owned the property, hazardous wastes were allegedly disposed at the site. The EPA estimates that the total past and future costs for remediation will approximate $9.4 million. The Company filed its response to the Section 104(e) order setting forth its position and defenses based on the fact that the other company was the lessee and operator of the site during the time the Company was the owner of the property. However, the Company has also given its Notice of Intent to comply with the EPA's order to prepare a remediation design plan. Six of the other PRPs have also notified the EPA of their intent to comply. The cost of such a remediation design plan is estimated to be approximately $1.0 million. To date there has been no agreement on how to allocate costs among the PRPs. On January 23, 1995 the Company received a request from the EPA for information pursuant to Section 401(e) of CERCLA, seeking information relating to the number and contents of drums, barrels and other materials that were sent to the Hansen Container Site, located in Grand Junction, Colorado, for reconditioning, disposal or storage. The EPA provided documentation evidencing two transactions in which the Company sold drums, which the Company believes to have been empty, which may have been reconditioned or stored at the site. The Company has responded to the inquiry, indicating that it has no documentation or knowledge with respect to any other transactions related to the site, and is awaiting further correspondence from the EPA. The Company is not able to estimate its exposure with respect to this site at this time. 53 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain key employees. The initial term of each agreement expired on December 31, 1990 and, on January 1, 1991 and beginning on each January 1 thereafter, is automatically extended for one-year periods, unless by September 30 of any year the Company gives notice that the agreement will not be extended. The term of the agreements is automatically extended for a minimum of 24 months following a change of control. The consummation of the Merger constituted a change of control as defined in the agreements. In the event that following a change of control employment is terminated for reasons specified in the agreements, the employee would receive: (i) a lump sum payment equal to two years' base salary; (ii) the maximum possible bonus under the terms of the Company's incentive compensation plan; (iii) a lapse of restrictions on any outstanding restricted stock grants and full payout of any outstanding Phantom Units; (iv) cash payment for each outstanding stock option equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the option; and, (v) life, disability and health benefits for a period of up to two years. In addition, payments and benefits under certain employment agreements are subject to further limitations based on certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. INTEREST RATE SWAPS Prior to the Merger, Adobe had entered into two interest rate swaps with a bank with notional principal amounts of $15.0 million and $20.0 million. The $15.0 million swap expired in December 1992 and the $20.0 million swap expired in April 1994. For the period from the effective date of the Merger to December 31, 1992 the amount due the bank in accordance with the terms of the $20.0 million swap totalled $0.6 million and the amount due the bank in 1993 and 1994 totalled $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the period subsequent to the Merger, the amount due the bank in accordance with the terms of the $15.0 million swap totaled $0.5 million. OPERATING LEASES The Company has noncancellable agreements with terms ranging from one to ten years to lease office space and equipment. Minimum rental payments due under the terms of these agreements are: 1995 -- $6.2 million, 1996 -- $5.8 million, 1997 -- $5.4 million, 1998 -- $4.6 million, 1999 -- $2.8 million and $2.0 million thereafter. Rental payments made under the terms of noncancellable agreements totaled $4.5 million in 1992, $5.5 million in 1993 and $6.2 million in 1994. OTHER MATTERS The Company has certain long-term contracts, which are being administered by Hadson, ranging up to twelve years for the supply and transportation of approximately 20 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to the Company's operations in Kern County, California. In the aggregate, these contracts involve a minimum commitment on the part of the Company of approximately $11.2 million per year (based on prices and transportation charges in effect for December 1994). In connection with the development of a gas field in Argentina in which the Company has a 19.9% working interest, a gas contract for 106 million cubic feet of gas per day with "take-or-pay" and "delivery-or-pay" obligations was executed in 1994 with a gas distribution company. There are other claims and actions, including certain other environmental matters, pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the amounts, if any, which may be awarded in connection with any of these claims and actions could be significant to the results of operations of any period but would not be material to the Company's consolidated financial position. 54 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (13) INCOME TAXES Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 -- "Accounting for Income Taxes". The adoption of SFAS No. 109 had no significant impact on the Company's provision for income taxes. Through the date of the Spin-Off the taxable income or loss of the Company was included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by SFP. The consolidated federal income tax returns of SFP have been examined through 1990 and all years prior to 1981 are closed. Issues relating to the open years are being contested through various stages of administrative appeal. The Company has filed separate consolidated federal income tax returns for periods subsequent to the Spin-Off. The consolidated returns of the Company through 1990 have been audited and the year 1991 is currently under audit. During 1989, the Company received a notice of deficiency for certain state franchise tax returns filed for the years 1978 through 1983 as part of the consolidated tax returns of SFP. The matter was contested by the Company and resolved in 1994. The years 1984 through 1990 are currently being audited. The Company believes adequate provision has been made for any adjustments which might be assessed with respect to all open years. With the Merger of Adobe the Company succeeded to a net operating loss carryforward that is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations which annually limit taxable income that can be offset by such losses. Certain changes in the Company's shareholders may impose additional limitations as well. Losses carrying forward of $134.5 million which expire beginning in 1998 are subject to the Section 382 limitations. The Company has total loss carryforwards of $163.9 million.

Proved developed reserves are proved reserves which can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Indonesian reserves represent an entitlement to gross reserves in accordance with a production sharing contract. These reserves include estimated quantities allocable to the Company for recovery of operating costs as well as quantities related to the Company's net equity share after recovery of costs. Accordingly, these quantities are subject to fluctuations with an inverse relationship to the price of oil. If oil prices increase, the reserve quantities attributable to the recovery of operating costs decline. Although this reduction would be offset partially by an increase in the net equity share, the overall effect would be a reduction of reserves attributable to the Company. At December 31, 1994, the quantities include 0.5 million barrels which the Company is contractually obligated to sell for $.20 per barrel. At December 31, 1993 the Company's reserves were 6.9 million barrels of crude oil and liquids and 14.5 Bcf of natural gas lower than at December 31, 1992, reflecting the sale in 1993 of properties with reserves totalling 8.7 million barrels of crude oil and liquids and 47.4 Bcf of natural gas. The Company has certain commitments with respect to the delivery of natural gas (see Note 12) which the Company believes it can fulfill from its proved reserves and supply contracts with other companies. At December 31, 1994, 1.8 million barrels of crude oil reserves and 17.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas reserves were subject to a 90% net profits interest held by Santa Fe Energy Trust. 59 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.

No deduction has been made for depletion, depreciation or any indirect costs such as general corporate overhead or interest expense. The sales prices used in the calculation of estimated future net cash flows are based on the prices in effect at year end. Such prices have been held constant except for known and determinable escalations. Operating costs and ad valorem and production taxes are estimated based on current costs with respect to producing oil and gas properties. Future development costs are based on the best estimate of such costs assuming current economic and operating conditions. Income tax expense is computed based on applying the appropriate statutory tax rate to the excess of future cash inflows less future production and development costs over the current tax basis of the properties involved. While applicable investment tax credits and other permanent differences are considered in computing taxes, no recognition is given to tax benefits applicable to future exploration costs or the activities of the Company that are unrelated to oil and gas producing activities. The information presented with respect to estimated future net revenues and cash flows and the present value thereof is not intended to represent the fair value of oil and gas reserves. Actual future sales prices and production and development costs may vary significantly from those in effect at year-end and actual future production may not occur in the periods or amounts projected. This information is presented to allow a reasonable comparison of reserve values prepared using standardized measurement criteria and should be used only for that purpose. 62 SANTA FE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.
