UNITED MERIDIAN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of United Meridian
Corporation (UMC or the Company) included herein have been prepared, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Although certain information normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
has been condensed or omitted, UMC believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.
2. Acquisitions and Dispositions
As part of its on-going operations, the Company continually sells producing and
undeveloped reserves and related assets. Certain transactions are discussed
below.
In February 1995, UMC sold all of its interests in oil and gas properties in
West Virginia, effective January 1, 1995. Net proceeds from the sale were $41.2
million and a gain of $7.0 million was recognized. Total proved reserves at
December 31, 1994, attributable to the sold properties were 61,715 MMcfe of
natural gas equivalents.
In March 1995, UMC sold all of its interest in the Main Pass 108 offshore
Louisiana field effective February 1, 1995. Net proceeds from the sale were
$6.9 million with a recognized gain of $4.7 million. Total proved reserves at
December 31, 1994, associated with the Company's interest in Main Pass 108 were
2,106 MMcfe of natural gas equivalents.
In October 1995, the Company agreed to assign a portion of its interest in
Block B in Equatorial Guinea to Mobil for total consideration of $36.8 million,
$18.8 million of which was received in 1995 with the remainder to be received in
1996. During the first six months of 1996, the Company recognized a gain of
$11.4 million on proceeds of $13.0 million.
In June 1996, UMC Resources Canada, Inc. (Resources), the Company's wholly-
owned Canadian subsidiary, sold all of its interests in the Rocanville area in
the province of Saskatchewan, effective May 1, 1996. Net proceeds from the sale
were $6.9 million and a gain of $4.8 million was recognized. Total proved
reserves attributable to the interests sold were 4,366 MMcfe of natural gas
equivalents at December 31, 1995.
3. Financial Instruments
The Company has, from time to time, entered into crude oil and natural gas
price swaps and interest rate swaps, or other similar hedging transactions, to
reduce its exposure to price reductions on a portion of its production that is
subject to market sensitive pricing and to reduce its exposure to increases in
interest rates.
The Company hedged a portion of its gas production via swap agreements in the
first six months of 1996, resulting in a $2.2 million downward adjustment to
natural gas revenues. Details of current contracts in place are described
below.
-6-
In April 1996, the Company entered into four natural gas collar contracts for a
total of 14 BCF of natural gas for the period June through December,
representing approximately 40% of estimated North American volumes. The collars
consist of a guaranteed floor price of $2.20 per MMbtu and a cap of $2.70 per
MMbtu. In addition, the Company also has an outstanding natural gas hedging
contract expiring in December 1996 and having a notional volume of 50,000 MMbtu
per month at $2.21 per MMbtu.
As of January 1, 1996, UMC has a fixed interest rate swap contract that
provides for fixed interest rates on $45.0 million of the Company's debt through
1998. The agreement includes annual fixed interest rates ranging from 5.55% in
1996 to 6.40% in 1998. Additionally, the Company has a two-year LIBOR interest
rate cap contract, which began January 1, 1995, at an interest rate cap of 8.30%
for 1996. The effect of these swaps has had minimal impact on Interest and Debt
Expense during the six months ended June 30, 1996.
4. Exercise of Common Stock Warrants
On June 11, 1993, the Company issued warrants to purchase 250,004 shares of the
Company's common stock in connection with the KPX acquisition at an exercise
price of $15.36 per share. During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, proceeds of
$3.6 million for the exercise of warrants were received and 233,556 shares of
common stock were issued.
5. Subsequent Event
On July 26, 1996, the Company converted $35 million of Series F convertible
preferred stock to 1.845 million shares of common stock in accordance with the
automatic conversion terms of the original private offering. The conversion
eliminates the 8.75% dividend on the preferred stock. Had the conversion of the
Series F preferred stock occurred at January 1, 1996, the reported earnings per
share would have been $0.28 and $0.16 for the six months and three months ended
June 30, 1996, respectively.
6. Supplemental Guarantor Information
In connection with the sale by UMC of the 10-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
(Notes) in October 1995, UMC Petroleum Corporation (Petroleum), wholly-owned and
the Company's only direct subsidiary, has unconditionally guaranteed the full
and prompt performance of the Company's obligations under the Notes and related
indenture, including the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest.
Other than intercompany arrangements and transactions, the consolidated
financial statements of Petroleum are equivalent in all material respects to
those of the Company and therefore the separate consolidated financial
statements of Petroleum are not material to investors and have not been included
herein. However, in an effort to provide meaningful financial data relating to
the guarantor (i.e., Petroleum on an unconsolidated basis) of the Notes, the
following condensed consolidating financial information has been provided
following the policies set forth below:
(1) Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the cost
basis. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore not reflected in the related
investment accounts.
(2) Certain reclassifications were made to conform all of the financial
information to the financial presentation on a consolidated basis. The
principal eliminating entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and
intercompany balances.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $115.0 million,
or 67.2% greater than the six months ended June 30, 1995 amount of $68.8
million. The increase in total revenue was primarily attributable to significant
improvements in oil and natural gas prices for the period, increased production
volumes of oil and natural gas and gain on sale of assets of $18.0 million, an
increase of 42.9% from the comparable period.
The average sales price for natural gas increased $0.62 per Mcf or 41.1% in
the first six months of 1996 from the first six months of 1995. Natural gas
production for the six months ended June 30, 1996, was 28,609 MMcf, an increase
of 26.8% over 1995 volumes due primarily to new production from the Gulf of
Mexico and gas production in Cote d'Ivoire which commenced late in 1995. The
average sales price for oil increased $2.31 per bbl or 13.9% in the first six
months of 1996 compared to the first six months of 1995. Oil production
increased 46.7% or 592 Mbbls in the first six months of 1996 due primarily to
increased oil production in Cote d'Ivoire and condensate production in the Gulf
of Mexico.
Production costs, including ad valorem and production taxes, for the first
six months of 1996 of $25.8 million increased 32.3% from $19.5 million for the
first six months of 1995, with the increase primarily attributable to production
in Cote d'Ivoire. However, production costs per Mcfe remained flat at $0.65 in
the first six months of 1996 and 1995.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
were $6.5 million compared to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995, primarily due to an overall increase in the Company's operations. However,
in the first six months of 1996, general and administrative expenses per Mcfe of
production were $0.16 compared to $0.18 for the comparable period of 1995 or a
decrease of 11.1%.
Exploration, dry hole and lease impairment expenses for the first six
months of 1996 were $14.7 million compared to $7.6 million for the first six
months of 1995. This increase of $7.1 million was primarily due to increased
geological and geophysical costs, reflecting a higher level of international and
North American exploration activity in 1996 and increased dry hole costs.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense for the first six
months of 1996 of $41.8 million increased 62.0% from $25.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, due primarily to overall increased production
levels. Certain downward mid-year revisions of proved oil and gas reserves were
recognized by the Company at June 30, 1996, increasing DD&A expense for the
period by $1.3 million. Furthermore, a greater proportion of the Company's oil
and gas volumes were produced from the Gulf of Mexico region which historically
has higher amortization rates.
Interest expense for the first six months of 1996 was $11.4 million
compared to $8.7 million for the first six months of 1995. This $2.7 million
increase is primarily due to a higher average interest rate in 1996, due to the
issuance of senior subordinated notes in the fourth quarter of 1995, offset by
lower debt levels for the first half of 1996 versus the comparable period of
1995.
An income tax provision of $5.9 million (of which $0.3 million is a current
provision and $5.6 million is a deferred provision) was recognized as of June
30, 1996, compared to a benefit of $2.1 million for the comparable period of
1995. Included in the 1995 tax provision was the release of $0.7 million in
deferred income taxes and generation of a $0.6 million current tax receivable
relating to the completion of an on-going audit of the Company's Canadian
operations. Consistent with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, the income tax provision or benefit is derived from changes in deferred
income taxes on the balance sheet.
The Company reported net income of $9.0 million, or $0.24 per share, for
the first six months of 1996 compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.14
per share, for the comparable period in 1995.
-13-
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1995.
Material changes in the results of operations between the three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, primarily reflect the significant increases in oil
and natural gas production volumes and prices received and gain on sale of
assets, all of which have been discussed previously. Increases in exploration
expenses during the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the comparable period
in 1995 reflect the significant international seismic program underway and
certain dry hole costs recorded during the quarter.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The primary sources of cash for the Company during the six months ended
June 30, 1996, included funds generated from operations which reflected
significant increases in production volumes and prices received, proceeds from
asset sales and exercise of stock options and warrants. In the comparable period
of 1995, the primary sources of cash included funds generated from operations
and proceeds from sales of certain oil and gas properties. Primary cash uses
included capital expenditures (including exploration expenses) which totaled
$62.2 million for the first six months of 1996.
Discretionary cash flow, a measure of performance for exploration and
production companies, is derived by adjusting net income to eliminate the
effects of exploration expenses, including dry hole costs and impairments,
depreciation, depletion and amortization, deferred income tax and gain (loss) on
sale of assets. The effects of working capital changes are not taken into
account. This measure reflects an amount that is available for capital
expenditures, debt repayment or dividend payments. The Company generated
discretionary cash flow of approximately $53.9 million for the first six months
of 1996 and $22.8 million for the first six months of 1995. The Company
anticipates higher levels of discretionary cash flow in the remainder of 1996 as
compared to 1995 due to increased forecasted production levels, full-year
production in Cote d'Ivoire, commencement of production in Equatorial Guinea and
the improvement of oil and natural gas prices since December 31, 1995.
As part of its on-going operations, the Company continually sells producing
and undeveloped reserves and related assets. During the first six months of
1996, the Company realized net proceeds of $29.7 million, as compared to $48.4
million during the comparable period of 1995.
During the first six months of 1996, the Company realized proceeds of $6.2
million on the exercise of common stock options and warrants, which were due to
expire during the second quarter of 1996.
On July 26, 1996, the Company converted $35 million of Series F convertible
preferred stock to 1.845 million shares of common stock in accordance with the
automatic conversion terms of the original private offering. This conversion
eliminates the 8.75% dividend on the preferred stock.
The Balance Sheet reflects a total debt to book capitalization ratio of 50%
and 54% at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. The ratio at June
30, 1995 was 48%. Long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 1996 consisted of (1)
$150.0 million senior subordinated notes, (2) $32.5 million project loan and (3)
$44.8 million outstanding on the Company's revolving loan, resulting in
liquidity (including cash) exceeding $130 million, as compared to $124 million
at December 31, 1995.
The Company's interest coverage ratio (calculated as the ratio of income
from operations plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment of
proved oil and gas properties and exploration expense to interest less non-cash
amortization of debt issue costs) was 7.11 to 1 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, compared with 5.21 to 1 during the comparable period of 1995.
-14-
OPERATING DATA
For 1996, the Company has adopted a total capital expenditure budget of
$174 million (exploration, development, and acquisitions) which will be funded
from discretionary cash flow, non-core area property sales and available debt
liquidity under the Credit Facility. This capital program may change if the
prices of oil and natural gas are significantly more or less than the Company's
expectations or based upon the results of the Company's exploration program.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
The Company conducts a portion of its business in Canadian dollars.
Therefore, a portion of the Company's business is subject to fluctuations in
currency exchange rates. In preparing the Company's financial statements, the
results of operations of the Canadian subsidiary are generally translated at the
average exchange rate for the year-to-date, and the subsidiary's assets and
liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance
sheet date.
The majority of revenues and expenditures for the Company's West African
operations are settled and all books and records are maintained in the U.S.
dollar.
CHANGES IN PRICES AND INFLATION
The Company's revenues and the value of its oil and natural gas properties
have been, and will continue to be, effected by changes in oil and natural gas
prices. The Company's ability to maintain its current borrowing capacity and to
obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent on
oil and natural gas prices. Oil and natural gas prices are subject to
significant seasonal and other fluctuations that are beyond the Company's
ability to control or predict. Although certain Company costs and expenses are
effected by the level of inflation, inflation did not have a significant effect
on the Company's results of operations for the first six months of 1996 or 1995.
-15-
