CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC.'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of Continental Resources, Inc. ("CRI" or the "Company") the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2002, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002. The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented do not contain all information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. On June 19, 2001, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Continental Resources of Illinois, Inc. ("CRII"), an Oklahoma corporation. On July 9, 2001, the Company, through CRII, purchased the assets of Farrar Oil Company, Inc. 2. ACQUISITIONS: On July 9, 2001, the Company's subsidiary, CRII, purchased the assets of Farrar Oil Company, Inc. for $33.7 million using funds borrowed under the Company's credit facility. The CEO of CRI was on the board of directors of Farrar Oil Company, Inc. for many years and was familiar with their operations. The Company purchased Farrar Oil Company, Inc. for two reasons: 1.) to expand its operating base to the Illinois Basin and 2.) because approximately $8.0 million of the purchase price was for additional interest in wells located in Oklahoma already operated by CRI. This purchase was accounted for as a purchase and the cost of the acquisition was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities. The operations of Farrar Oil Company, Inc., since July 9, 2001, are included in the accompanying financial statements. The allocation of the $33.7 million of purchase price on July 9, 2001, was as follows: Current assets $ 950 Producing properties 30,603 Non-producing properties 1,117 Service properties 1,000 -------- $ 33,670 The unaudited pro forma information set forth below includes the operations of Farrar Oil Company, Inc. assuming the acquisition of Farrar Oil Company, Inc. by CRII occurred on January 1, 2001. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for information purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated at that time: Pro Forma Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 - -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ($ in thousands, except per share data) Farrar CRI Consolidated - -------------------------------------------- -------------------- ----------------- ---------------- Revenue $5,602 $114,410 $120,012 Net Income $3,130 $7,664 $10,794 Earnings Per Common Share Basic $0.22 $0.53 $0.75 Diluted $0.22 $0.53 $0.75 Pro Forma Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 - -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ($ in thousands, except per share data) Farrar CRI Consolidated - -------------------------------------------- -------------------- ----------------- ---------------- Revenue $12,269 $223,730 $235,999 Net Income $6,679 $22,350 $29,029 Earnings Per Common Share Basic $0.46 $1.56 $2.02 Diluted $0.46 $1.55 $2.02 3. LONG-TERM DEBT: Long-term debt as of December 31, 2001, and June 30, 2002, consisted of the following: December 31, 2001 June 30, 2002 ----------------- ------------- (dollars in thousands) Senior Subordinated Notes $127,150 $127,150 Credit Facility 56,245 85,000 Note payable to principal stockholder -- 500 -------- -------- Outstanding debt 183,395 212,650 Less current portion 5,400 -- -------- -------- Total long-term debt $177,995 $212,650 ======== ======== During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company executed a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in which a group of lenders agreed to provide a $175.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a current borrowing base of $140.0 million. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by liens on all oil and gas properties and associated assets of the Company. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, payable quarterly, at (a) a rate per annum equal to the rate at which eurodollar deposits for one, two, three or six months are offered by the lead bank plus a margin ranging from 150 to 200 basis points, or (b) at the lead bank's reference rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 25 to 50 basis points. The Company paid approximately $2.2 million in debt issuance fees for the new credit facility. The credit facility matures on March 28, 2005. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had $85.0 million outstanding debt on its line of credit. Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the Company has drawn $10.0 million on its line of credit and currently has $95.0 million outstanding debt on its line of credit. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT The risk management process we have established is designed to measure both quantitative and qualitative risks in our businesses. We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates and certain commodity prices. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, periodically we enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies on hedging practices. Derivative positions are monitored using techniques such as mark-to-market valuation and value-at-risk and sensitivity analysis. We have recorded a loss of $1.3 million on the income statement to reflect the mark-to-market exposure at June 30, 2002, and the offset is in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. The crude oil financial contract pays us $24.25 per barrel anytime the NYMEX price is above $19.00 per barrel. If the NYMEX settlement is $19.00 per barrel or below, we sell our barrels at that price. This contract is for 30,000 barrels a month and is effective from April 2002 to December 2003. 5. CRUDE OIL MARKETING: The Company enters into third party contracts to purchase and resell crude oil at prices based on current month NYMEX prices, current posting prices or at a stated contract price. Purchases and sales are recorded at the stated contract price. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company had revenues from the sale of crude oil and expenses for the purchase of crude oil of $38.4 million and $38.2 million, respectively, resulting in a gain from crude oil marketing activities during the quarter of $0.2 million. The Company accounts for its crude oil marketing activities in accordance with EITF 98-10 "Accounting for Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities." This statement requires that contracts for the purchase and sale of energy commodities which are entered into for the purpose of speculating on market movements or otherwise generating gains from market price differences to be recorded at their market value, as of the balance sheet date, with any corresponding gains or losses recorded as income from operations. The Company has discontinued crude oil trading activities as of May 1, 2002. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued EITF 02-3 "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities." This statement will require 1.) all mark-to-market gains or losses arising from energy trading contracts (whether realized or unrealized) to be shown net in the income statement beginning in the first interim or annual period ending after July 15, 2002 with reclassification required for all comparable historical periods presented and 2.) disclosure of energy trading information similar to the types of disclosures outlined by the SEC in FR-61, "Commission Statement about Management's Discussion and analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning in annual periods ending after July 15, 2002. The Company has determined that the adoption of EITF 02-3 will have no impact on the Company's net income. It will reduce gross revenue and total operating expense. The following table shows the restated amounts assuming the new statement was applied as of June 30, 2002.

EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per common share was computed without any provisions for federal income taxes since the Company converted to an S-Corporation effective June 1, 1997. Earnings per common share was computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. The weighted-average number of shares used to compute earnings per common share was 14,368,919 in 2001 and 2002. The weighted-average number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share was 14,393,132 for 2001 and 2002. The effect of common stock equivalents at June 30, 2002, was anti-diluted. 7. GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Continental Gas, Inc. (CGI), Continental Resources of Illinois, Inc. (CRII), and Continental Crude Co. (CCC) have guaranteed the Company's outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes and its bank line of credit.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Our operating results for the periods discussed may not be indicative of future performance. In the text below, financial statement numbers have been rounded; however, the percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES GENERAL For the current quarter, we had revenues, excluding crude oil marketing, of $39.1 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 7%, from $42.1 million during the comparable period in 2001. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in oil and gas prices. OIL AND GAS SALES Our oil and gas sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002, decreased $0.9 million, or 3%, to $27.7 million from $28.6 million during the comparable period in 2001 due primarily to the decrease in oil and gas prices. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, we sold 949 MBbls of oil and 2,216 MMcf of natural gas, or 1,319 MBoe compared to sales of 1,180 MBoe for the same period in 2001. Our oil revenues, exclusive of hedging activities, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, increased $3.0 million, or 15%, to $23.0 million from $20.0 million during the same period in 2001. Our oil production increased by 179 MBbls to 950 MBbls, or 23%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from 771 MBbls for the comparable period in 2001. Oil prices, exclusive of hedging and adjustments, decreased $2.46 to an average of $23.46/Bbl, or 9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $25.92/Bbl, for the comparable 2001 period. Our gas revenues decreased $3.2 million, or 37%, to $5.4 million from $8.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. Our gas production for the period decreased 238 MMcf, or 10%, to 2,216 MMcf from 2,454 MMcf in 2001. Gas prices decreased $1.05 for the three month period ended June 30, 2002, to an average of $2.45/Mcf, or 30%, from $3.50/Mcf for the comparable 2001 period. CRUDE OIL MARKETING During the three month period ended June 30, 2002, we recognized revenues on crude oil purchased for resale of $38.4 million, a $33.9 million or 47% decrease compared to $72.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2001. A decrease in volumes and prices made up the difference between 2002 and 2001. We have discontinued crude oil trading as of May 1, 2002. We have determined that the adoption of EITF 02-3 will have no effect on our net income. (See Footnote 5). RISK MANAGEMENT We have a crude oil financial contract that pays $24.25 per barrel of oil anytime the NYMEX is between $19.00 and $24.25 per barrel. We have 30,000 barrels a month committed to this contract and the contract is effective from April 2002 to December 2003. During the three month period ended June 30, 2002, we recorded a loss of $37,779 in risk management income to reflect the mark-to-market valuation at June 30, 2002, of this financial derivative. GATHERING, MARKETING AND PROCESSING Our gathering, marketing and processing revenue in the second quarter of 2002 was $9.0 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 21%, from $11.4 million in the same period in 2001. This decrease in revenue during the second quarter was attributable to decreased natural gas and liquid prices in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period. OIL AND GAS SERVICE OPERATIONS Our oil and gas service operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002, was $2.5 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 19% from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was due primarily to greater volumes of reclaimed oil sales from our central treating unit. OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES PRODUCTION EXPENSES Our production expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 6%, to $7.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $7.9 million during the comparable period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in energy costs of approximately $0.4 million and decreased labor costs of approximately $0.1 million offset by an increase in production expenses due to the acquisition of the assets of Farrar Oil Company, Inc. in July 2001. PRODUCTION TAXES Our production taxes decreased by $0.3 million, or 13%, to $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $2.3 million during the comparable period in 2001. The decrease was due to lower oil and gas prices in the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, offset by an increase in production taxes due to the acquisition of of Farrar Oil Company, Inc. in July 2001. EXPLORATION EXPENSES For the three months ended June 30, 2002, our exploration expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 33%, to $1.1 million from $1.6 million during the comparable period of 2001. The decrease was mainly due to a reduction in dry hole expense and seismic expenses. CRUDE OIL MARKETING For the three months ended June 30, 2002, we recognized expense for the purchases of crude oil purchased for resale of $38.2 million, a decrease of $34.3 million, or 47%, compared to purchases of crude oil for resale of $72.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in prices and volumes made up the difference between 2001 and 2002. We have discontinued crude oil trading effective May 1, 2002. We have determined that the adoption of EITF 02-3 will have no effect on our net income. (See Footnote 5). GATHERING, MARKETING, AND PROCESSING During the three months ended June 30, 2002, we incurred gathering, marketing and processing expenses of $7.8 million, representing a $1.9 million, or 19% decrease from the $9.7 million incurred in the second quarter of 2001 due to lower natural gas and liquids prices on natural gas we purchased for resale. OIL AND GAS SERVICE OPERATIONS During the three months ended June 30, 2002, we incurred oil and gas services operations expenses of $1.4 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 16% from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. The decrease was due to lower prices paid for the purchase of reclaimed oil. DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION (DD&A) For the three months ended June 30, 2002, our DD&A expense increased $1.1 million, or 16%, to $8.1 million from $7.0 million for the comparable period in 2001. In the second quarter of 2002, DD&A expense on oil and gas properties was calculated at $5.05 per BOE compared to $4.70 per BOE for the first quarter of 2001. The DD&A expense attributable to the acquisition of the assets of Farrar Oil Company in July 2001 and lower oil and gas prices resulting in higher depletion rates were the main causes for the DD&A increase in the 2002 period. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("G&A") For the three months ended June 30, 2002, our net G&A expense was $2.8 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 15%, from our net G&A expense of $2.5 million during the comparable period in 2001. Overhead reimbursement of $0.6 million and $0.4 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively, was netted from G&A expense. The increase was primarily due to increased employment expense offset by a decrease in legal expense. Our G&A expenses per Boe for the second quarter of 2002 was $2.17 compared to $2.13 for the second quarter of 2001. INTEREST EXPENSE For the three months ended June 30, 2002, our interest expense increased $0.7 million, or 19% to $4.3 million from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was due to additional interest paid on our credit facility due to higher average debt balances outstanding. OTHER INCOME Our other income for the three months ended June 30, 2002, was income of $0.06 million compared to income of $2.2 for the same period in 2001. The 2001 income was from the sale of 62 uneconomical properties at the Clearinghouse Auction on April 11, 2001. NET INCOME For the three months ended June 30, 2002, our net income was $4.1 million, a decrease in net income of $3.5 million, or 46%, from $7.6 million for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in net income was due primarily to lower oil and gas prices. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002, COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001. REVENUES GENERAL Our revenues, excluding crude oil marketing, decreased $21.9 million, or 24%, to $69.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $91.3 million during the comparable period in 2001. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower oil and gas prices. OIL AND GAS SALES Our oil and gas sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002, decreased $12.4 million, or 20%, to $50.4 million from $62.8 million during the same period in 2001 due to decreased oil and gas prices. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we sold 1,887 MBbls of oil and 4,510 MMcf of natural gas, or 2,639 MBoe compared to sales of 2,304 MBoe for the same period in 2001. Our oil revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, decreased $1.2 million, or 3%, to $41.4 million from $42.6 million in the same period in 2001. Our oil production increased by 292 MBbls to 1,887 MBbls, or 18%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, from 1,594 MBbls for the same period in 2001. Oil prices, exclusive of hedging and adjustments, decreased to an average of $21.56/Bbl, or 19%, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $26.71/Bbl, for the comparable 2001 period. The decrease in oil sales is due to lower oil prices in 2002. Our gas revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, decreased $10.5 million, or 51%, to $9.8 million from $20.3 million in the same period in 2001. Our gas production for the period increased 252 MMcf, or 6%, to 4,510 MMcf from 4,258 MMcf in 2001. Gas prices decreased to an average of $2.16/Mcf, or 54%, from $4.73/Mcf, for the comparable 2001 period. The decrease in gas revenues is due to lower prices in 2002. CRUDE OIL MARKETING AND PROCESSING For the year to date period ended June 30, 2002, we have recognized $85.8 million, a $46.6 million decrease on crude oil purchased for resale compared to $132.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. A decrease in volumes and prices made up the difference between 2002 and 2001. We have discontinued crude oil trading as of May 1, 2002 and determined that the adoption of EITF 02-3 will have no effect on our net income. (See Footnote 5). RISK MANAGEMENT For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we have recorded a loss of $1.2 million to reflect the mark-to-market valuation of a financial derivative effective from April 2002 to December 2003. For April and May the realized loss was $141,000 and the remaining $1.1 million loss is unrealized. GATHERING, MARKETING AND PROCESSING Our gathering, marketing and processing revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $16.2 million, a $8.2 million, or 34% decrease, from $24.4 million in the comparable 2001 period. The decrease for the six month period was due to lower natural gas and liquid prices in 2002. OIL AND GAS SERVICE OPERATIONS Our oil and gas service operations remained constant for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, at $4.1 million. COSTS AND EXPENSES PRODUCTION EXPENSES Our production expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 3%, to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $14.4 million during the comparable period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in energy and labor costs of approximately $1.2 million offset by an increase in repairs of $0.8 million. PRODUCTION TAXES Our production taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2002, decreased $1.4 million, or 29%, to $3.5 million compared to $4.9 million in the comparable period of 2001. The decrease was due to lower oil and gas prices in 2002 compared to 2001. EXPLORATION EXPENSES Our expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002, decreased $0.9 million, or 21%, to $3.3 million from $4.2 million incurred in the comparable period in 2001. The decrease was due primarily to a $1.6 million decrease in dry hole expenses and plugging costs offset by an increase of $0.7 million in expired leases. CRUDE OIL MARKETING For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, our purchases of crude oil decreased by $46.9 million, or 35%, to $85.1 million from $132.0 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in prices and volumes made up the difference between 2001 and 2002. We have discontinued crude oil trading as of May 1, 2002. We have determined that the adoption of EITF 02-3 will have no effect on our net income. (See Footnote 5). GATHERING, MARKETING AND PROCESSING Our gathering, marketing and processing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002, were $13.0 million, a $7.3 million, or 36% decrease, from $20.3 million in the same period in 2001 due to lower natural gas and liquids prices on natural gas purchased for resale. OIL AND GAS SERVICE OPERATIONS Our oil and gas service operations expenses remained constant at $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION (DD&A) For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our DD&A expense increased $4.3 million, or 35% to $16.6 million from $12.3 million for the same period in 2001. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Farrar Oil Company in July 2001 and lower product prices which shortens the life of the properties and increases depletion rates. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("G&A") For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, our net G&A expense was $7.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 33%, from our net G&A expense of $5.4 million during the comparable period in 2001. Overhead reimbursement of $1.2 million and $0.9 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively, was netted from G&A expense. Our G&A expense per Boe for the first six months of 2001 was $2.26 compared to $1.96 for the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to increased employment expense and geological expense offset by a decrease in legal expense. INTEREST EXPENSE For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 14% to $8.2 million from $7.2 million for the same period in 2001. The increase was due to additional interest paid on our credit facility due to higher average debt balances outstanding. OTHER INCOME Our other income for the year to date ended June 30, 2002, was $0.2 million compared to $2.0 million for the year to date ended June 30, 2001. The decrease reflects the sale of 62 uneconomical wells at the Clearinghouse Auction on April 11, 2001, which was approximately $2.0 million and a gain on the repurchase of our senior subordinated notes of $0.1 million offset by other miscellaneous expenses. NET INCOME For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our net income was $1.6 million, a decrease in net income of $20.7 million, or 93%, from $22.3 million for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in net income was mainly due to lower oil and gas prices and increased DD&A and G&A expenses of $3.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS Net cash provided by our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $15.3 million, a decrease of $19.8 million, or 56%, from $35.1 million provided by operating activities during the comparable 2001 period. We had cash at June 30, 2002, of $4.4 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 39%, of the balance of $7.2 million held at December 31, 2001. DEBT Our long-term debt at December 31, 2001, was $178.0 million and at June 30, 2002, was $212.6 million. During the first quarter of 2002, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in which our syndicated bank group agreed to provide a $175.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a current borrowing base of $140.0 million. We had $85.0 million of outstanding debt under this credit facility at June 30, 2002. Subsequent to June 30, 2002, we borrowed $10.0 million against our credit facility, increasing the outstanding debt to $95.0 million. CREDIT FACILITY Long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2002, included $85.0 million of revolving credit debt under our bank credit facility. The effective rate of interest under our bank credit facility was 4.00% at June 30, 2002. Our credit facility, which matures March 28, 2005, charges interest based on a rate per annum equal to the rate at which eurodollar deposits for one, two, three or six months are offered by the lead bank plus an applicable margin ranging from 150 to 250 basis points or the lead bank's reference rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 25 to 50 basis points. The borrowing base of our credit facility is $140.0 million and is re-determined semi-annually. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Our 2002 capital expenditures budget is $91.3 million, exclusive of acquisitions. The Cedar Hills Field secondary recovery will account for $65.0 million, or 71%, of our projected capital expenditures for 2002. This includes $40.9 million for drilling injector wells and $24.1 million for compressors, equipment and facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we incurred $45.3 million of capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, compared to $31.3 million, exclusive of acquisitions, in the six month period of 2001. The $14.0 million, or 45% increase was the result of our increased drilling activity in the Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast regions. We expect to fund the remainder of our 2002 capital budget through cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report includes "forward-looking statements". All statements other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, statements contained under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations and industry conditions, are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations ("Cautionary Statements") include, without limitation, future production levels, future prices and demand for oil and gas, results of future exploration and development activities, future operating and development cost, the effect of existing and future laws and governmental regulations (including those pertaining to the environment) and the political and economic climate of the United States as discussed in this quarterly report and the other documents we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations. Our management believes that we are well positioned with our mix of oil and gas reserves to take advantage of future price increases that may occur. However, the uncertainty of oil and gas prices continues to impact the domestic oil and gas industry. Due to the volatility of oil and gas prices, we, from time to time, have used derivative hedging and may do so in the future as a means of controlling our exposure to price changes. Most of our purchases are made at either a NYMEX based price or a fixed price. Forward sales contracts that will result in the physical delivery of our production are deemed to be normal course of business sales and are not accounted for as derivatives. As of June 30, 2002, we had the following fixed physical sales contracts in order to mitigate our price risk exposure on our production: Time Period Barrels per Month Price per Barrel ----------- ----------------- ---------------- 11/01-03/03 60,000 $21.98 07/02-06/03 30,000 $24.01 07/02-01/04 30,000 $24.01 09/02-12/03 30,000 $25.08 09/02-12/03 30,000 $24.85 RISK MANAGEMENT The risk management process we have established is designed to measure both quantitative and qualitative risks in our businesses. We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates and certain commodity prices. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, periodically we enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies on hedging practices. Derivative positions are monitored using techniques such as mark-to-market valuation and value-at-risk and sensitivity analysis. COMMODITY PRICE EXPOSURE The market risk inherent in our market risk-sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss in value arising from adverse changes in our commodity prices. The prices of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in supply and demand. To partially reduce price risk caused by these market fluctuations, we may hedge (through the utilization of derivatives) a portion of our production and sale contracts. Because the commodities covered by these derivatives are substantially the same commodities that we buy and sell in the physical market, no special studies other than monitoring the degree of correlation between the derivative and cash markets, are deemed necessary. A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to estimate the price exposure to the market risk of our crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids commodity positions. Our daily net commodity position consists of crude inventories, commodity purchase and sales contracts and derivative commodity instruments. The fair value of such position is a summation of the fair values calculated for each commodity by valuing each net position at quoted futures prices. Market risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in such prices over the next 12 months. Based on this analysis, we estimate the potential market risk loss, assuming a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change, to be approximately $4.7 million related to our crude trading or hedging portfolios. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities", with an effective date for periods beginning after June 15, 1999. In July 1999 the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". As a result of SFAS No. 137, adoption of SFAS No. 133 is now required for financial statements for periods beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 sweeps in a broad population of transactions and changes the previous accounting definition of a derivative instrument. Under SFAS No. 133 every derivative instrument is recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. During 2000, management reviewed all of our contracts to identify both freestanding and embedded derivatives which meet the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138. We adopted the new standards effective January 1, 2001. We had no outstanding hedges or derivatives which had not been previously marked to market through our accounting for trading activity. As a result, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 had no significant impact. INTEREST RATE RISK Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to long-term debt obligations. We manage our interest rate exposure by limiting our variable-rate debt to a certain percentage of total capitalization and by monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. We may utilize interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce interest rate expense related to existing debt issues. Interest rate derivatives are used solely to modify interest rate exposure and not to modify the overall leverage of the debt portfolio. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices and management's estimate of current rates available for similar issues. The following table itemizes our long-term debt maturities and the weighted-average interest rates by maturity date. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 (dollars in thousands) 2002 2003 2004 2005 Thereafter Total Fair Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed rate debt: Principal amount $127,150 $127,150 $127,150 Weighted-average interest rate 10.25% 10.25% -- Variable-rate debt: Principal amount -- -- -- $85,000 -- $85,000 $85,000 Weighted-average interest rate -- -- -- 4.0% -- 4.0% -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART II. Other Information ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, we are party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not involved in any legal proceedings nor are we party to any pending or threatened claims that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
