KEY PRODUCTION COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Key
Production Company, Inc. (Key or the Company), without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the
annual audited statements. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring
nature except as disclosed herein. Certain information, accounting policies,
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and summary of significant accounting policies and notes thereto
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Key and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Brock Exploration
Corporation, Brock Oil and Gas Corporation and Brock Gas Systems and Equipment,
Inc.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NET INCOME PER SHARE
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
Share," on December 15, 1997. The new standard replaces "primary earnings per
share" with "basic earnings per share" and redefines "diluted earnings per
share." Basic earnings per share is computed based on the monthly weighted-
average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average
number of common shares used in computing basic earnings per share were:
11,504,686 and 11,468,360 for the second quarters of 1998 and 1997,
respectively; and 11,501,567 and 11,461,482 for the first six months of 1998 and
1997, respectively. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods and the
assumed exercise of dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options) using the
treasury stock method. Dilutive equivalents assumed to have been exercised
totaled: 712,575 and 665,216 for the second quarters of 1998 and 1997,
respectively; and 696,906 and 694,959 for the first six months of 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The effect on this previously reported earnings per share data
was as follows:

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These
investments earned 5.5 and 5.9 percent rates of interest at June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively, with cost approximating market.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This new
statement becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in 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. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a company formally document,
designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge
accounting.
The Company is not currently participating in any transactions or contracts
that would be subject to the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133.
Therefore, adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Key is reporting second quarter net income of $1.6 million, or $.13 per
diluted share. Both are down 24 percent from the $2.0 million and $.17 per
diluted share reported for the second quarter of 1997. The second quarter
results are based on revenues of $9.7 million and $9.5 million in 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
On a year to date basis, Key is reporting a 39 percent decrease to net
income, and a 40 percent decrease to net income per diluted share. Net income
for the six-month periods was $3.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
Looking at company history, Key attained its highest equivalent gas
production in the first half of 1998. However, record high production was not
enough to offset the impact of lower product prices.

Operating Statistics
- --------------------
Gas Volume Mcf per day 34,744 29,550 33,905 28,962
Gas Price Per Mcf $ 2.07 $ 2.00 $ 2.07 $ 2.32
Oil Volume Barrels per day 2,593 2,366 2,700 2,298
Oil Price Per barrel $ 12.08 $ 17.65 $ 12.79 $ 18.98
Full Cost Amortization Rate 39.4% 30.0% 39.4% 29.0%
Oil and gas revenues for the second quarter of 1998 increased 2 percent to
$9.6 million from $9.4 million in 1997. Oil and gas revenues for the six-month
periods decreased by 5 percent between 1998 and 1997 despite increases to both
oil and gas production.
Oil sales for the current quarter of $2.8 million reflect a 25 percent
decrease from the $3.8 million reported for the same quarter a year ago. Oil
production increased 10 percent to 2,593 barrels per day and added $.4 million
to oil sales. The quarterly production gains came primarily from new drilling
in the Hardeman Basin of North Texas. On the downside, the Company's average
oil price dropped from $17.65 per barrel in 1997 to $12.08 per barrel in 1998.
The decrease in oil prices had a negative $1.3 million impact on quarterly oil
sales.
Oil sales for the first six months of 1998 fell 21 percent to $6.2 million.
Most of the shrinkage, $3.0 million, is due to low crude oil prices. Key's
average price realization for this period went from $18.98 per barrel in 1997 to
$12.79 per barrel in 1998. On the bright side, daily production climbed from
2,298 barrels per day in 1997 to 2,700 barrels per day in 1998. The 17 percent
production gain added $1.4 million in value, but was not enough to offset the
decline in oil prices.
Gas sales for the second quarter advanced from $5.4 million in 1997 to $6.5
million in 1998, a 21 percent increase. Growth in gas production was
complemented by a 3 percent increase to gas prices. Daily gas output for the
second quarter rose from 29,550 Mcf per day in 1997 to 34,744 Mcf per day in
1998 and added $.9 million in value. Key's average gas price rose from $2.00
per Mcf in 1997 to
8
$2.07 per Mcf in 1998 for an additional $.2 million in sales. The rise in
quarter-over-quarter gas production was largely attributable to new gas wells
coming on line in the Sacramento Basin of California.
Gas sales for the six-month periods increased by 4 percent to reach $12.7
million in 1998. Daily production expanded from 28,962 Mcf per day in 1997 to
33,905 Mcf per day in 1998. Production increases contributed almost $2.1
million to gas sales, more than enough to offset price declines. Average daily
prices for the six months slipped from $2.32 per Mcf in 1997 to $2.07 per Mcf
in 1998 and had a negative $1.5 million impact.
Product sales from gas processing plants for the second quarter decreased 8
percent between 1997 and 1998, but increased 7 percent between the first six
months of 1997 and 1998.
Key's second quarter oil and gas revenues are derived from the following
product mix: 30 percent oil, 68 percent gas and 2 percent plant products. This
compares to the following mix for 1997: 40 percent oil, 57 percent gas and 3
percent plant products.
Other revenues were approximately $126,000 and 166,000 for the first six
months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. Key's primary source of other revenue in
1997 was income from a pipeline acquired in the 1996 Brock acquisition. This
pipeline was subsequently sold in March of 1997. Other revenues in 1998 include
the addition of income from the Company's new gathering system in California.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense increased 34
percent between the second quarters of 1997 and 1998 even though oil and gas
revenues remained relatively flat. The depletion rate as a percentage of oil
and gas sales increased from 30.0 percent in the second quarter of 1997 to 39.4
percent in the same period of 1998.
DD&A expense for the six months increased by 30 percent between 1997 and
1998 while sales decreased by 5 percent. The six-month depletion rate as a
percentage of oil and gas sales escalated from 29.0 percent in 1997 to 39.4
percent in 1998. Depressed product prices, particularly for oil, were a factor
in the elevated DD&A rates for the second quarter and first six months of 1998.
Also included in DD&A expense is a relatively immaterial amount of depreciation
on fixed assets and amortization of financing costs associated with the
Company's credit facility.
Quarterly operating expenses increased by 4 percent between 1997 and 1998.
On a unit of production basis, second quarter expenses decreased from $.64 per
EMcf in 1997 to $.58 per EMcf in 1998. Year to date operating expenses
increased 3 percent between 1997 and 1998. Compared on a unit of production
basis, year to date expenses decreased 12 percent, or $.08 per EMcf to $.60 per
EMcf in 1998. (Oil is compared to natural gas in terms of equivalent thousand
cubic feet, "EMcf." One barrel of oil is the energy equivalent of six Mcf of
natural gas.)
General, administrative and other costs (G&A) decreased 39 percent between
the second quarters of 1997 and 1998, and decreased 21 percent between the first
six months of 1997 and 1998. Due to certain economies of scale and full cost
accounting rules which provide for the capitalization of direct overhead related
to exploration and development activities, the Company was able to maintain or
reduce levels of administrative expense while managing an active drilling
program and a larger asset base. G&A declined on a units of production basis
from $.17 per EMcf for the second quarter of 1997 to $.09 per EMcf in 1998. For
the six month period, G&A compared on a unit of production basis decreased by 32
percent, or $.05 per EMcf between 1997 and 1998.
9
Interest expense before capitalization was $1,277,000 and $734,000 for the
first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. Key capitalized interest of
$682,000 and $413,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. These amounts are for
borrowings associated with undeveloped leasehold.
Key is using an effective tax rate of 38 percent for 1998 and 1997.
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
Key's primary needs for cash are to fund oil and gas exploration,
development and acquisition activities and for payment of existing obligations
and trade commitments related to oil and gas operations. The Company's primary
sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from
financing activities.
Cash from operating activities for the first six months of 1998 was $13.1
million, down 27 percent from the $18.1 million reported a year ago. Most of
the variance stems from a reduction of accounts payable balances and a decrease
in net income.
Expenditures for exploration and development for the first six months of
1998 total $17.3 million or 132 percent of cash provided by operating
activities. This is a 29 percent increase over the $13.4 million spent in the
first six months of 1997. So far in 1998, exploration and development projects
have been funded with a combination of cash from operations and long-term debt.
In the first six months of 1997, exploration and development projects were
funded with cash from operations.
In 1997, Key acquired non-producing acreage over several salt domes in west
central Mississippi. Key used a combination of cash from operating activities
and a draw on its line of credit with NationsBank to fund this transaction. The
Company has since acquired additional acreage and now holds acreage over 14 salt
domes in this area.
Key has received various proceeds totaling $2.2 million in 1998 for the
sale of miscellaneous producing properties and non-producing acreage.
In the first six months of 1998, the Company borrowed $4.0 million to
finance exploration and drilling activities in excess of cash generated by
operating activities. In the same period of 1997, the Company borrowed a net
$1.5 million to accomplish the acquisition of non-producing acreage.
The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1 to 1 at
June 30, 1998, a slight change from the 1.1 to 1 calculated at December 31,
1997.
FUTURE TRENDS
Exploration and development efforts are progressing in each of the
Company's five regional focus areas. Year-to-date expenditures are
significantly ahead of last year's pace but somewhat below the level originally
anticipated for mid-year 1998. Although certain projects in the California and
Mid-Continent regions scheduled for the first half of the year have been delayed
due to weather and other factors outside the control of Key, the Company still
expects expenditures for 1998 to be within the range originally anticipated.
The Company has not curtailed planned expenditures as a result of lower product
price realizations since adequate funding is expected to be available from cash
generated by operating activities along with amounts available under the
Company's line of credit.
Oil and gas prices continued to be depressed during the first half of 1998.
As discussed earlier, lower product prices had a significant negative impact on
reported revenue, although the impact was mitigated by increased production from
new wells. Low product prices, if they continue, will have a negative impact on
revenue and net income in future periods. It is impossible to predict, with any
substantial degree of accuracy, the trend in, or level of, future oil and gas
prices and their impact on the Company's reported results in future periods.
10
Lower product prices also impact the calculation of the limitation on
capitalized costs under the full cost accounting rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Application of this rule generally requires pricing future
revenues at the unescalated prices in effect at the end of each fiscal quarter
and requires a write-down if the "ceiling" in exceeded, even if prices decline
for only a short period of time. If a write-down were required, the charge to
earnings would not impact cash flow from operating activities. Key has not
taken any such write-down in the past.
The Company continues to review merger and acquisition opportunities.
Potential acquisitions or mergers with the economic and strategic attributes
necessary to facilitate the profitable growth of the Company will be actively
pursued.
As discussed in greater detail in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997, the Company has developed a remediation plan that it
believes adequately addresses the impact of the Year 2000 problem on its
computer systems and software. At yearend 1997, the remaining primary computer
system that was not Year 2000 compliant was the accounting software used by the
Company. The necessary upgrade to the accounting software package has since
been installed and, based on representations from the manufacturer and on
testing performed by the Company, is now Year 2000 compliant. This software
upgrade was available, at no additional charge, as part of the Company's annual
software maintenance agreement with the vendor. The Company engaged a
consultant to install the software upgrade. Costs incurred to install the
upgrade were immaterial and will be charged to expense in the quarter ending
September 30, 1998.
Management believes that cash on hand, net cash generated from
operations and amounts available under the Company's revolving line of credit
will be adequate to meet future liquidity needs, including satisfying the
company's financial obligations and funding operations, exploration and
development activities.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SAFE HARBOR PROVISION OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, among
others, statements concerning the Company's outlook for the remainder of 1998
with regard to production levels, price realizations, expenditures for
exploration and development, plans for funding operations and capital
expenditures, and other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and
strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning
matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this
report are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, fluctuations
in the price the Company receives for its oil and gas production, reductions in
the quantity of oil and gas sold due to decreased industry-wide demand and/or
curtailments in production from specific properties due to mechanical, marketing
or other problems, operating and capital expenditures that are either
significantly higher or lower than anticipated because the actual cost of
identified projects varied from original estimates and/or from the number of
exploration and development opportunities being greater or fewer than currently
anticipated and increased financing costs due to a significant increase in
interest rates. These and other risks and uncertainties affecting the Company
are discussed in greater detail in this report and in other filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
