AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF INCOME (UNAUDITED) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The pro forma combined statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, has been prepared assuming the Company consummated the acquisition of the Burlington Properties (as defined below) on January 1, 1997, with funds provided by advances under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Historical Company Consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997, are derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company. The historical earnings per share and the weighted average common shares outstanding have been adjusted to give effect to the two-for-one common stock split effected on October 7, 1997. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management of the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma combined financial statements do not purport to represent what the Company's financial position or results of operations actually would have been had such transactions in fact occurred on the dates indicated or to project the Company's financial position or results of operations for any future date or period. These pro forma combined financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1996 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. (2) ACQUISITION OF BURLINGTON PROPERTIES On April 1, 1997, the Company acquired from subsidiaries of Burlington Resources Inc. certain oil and gas properties located in the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana (the "Burlington Properties") for approximately $101.4 million in cash, after (a) adjustments for estimated revenues and expenses associated with such properties from January 1, 1997, through March 31, 1997, and (b) certain other adjustments. The funds used for this acquisition were obtained through advances under the Company's revolving credit facility. The historical results of operations of the Burlington Properties for the period January 1 through March 31, 1997, are based on the unaudited statement of revenues and direct operating expenses. The results of operations for the Burlington Properties are included in the Historical Company Consolidated results of operations since the April 1, 1997, acquisition date. -6- VINTAGE PETROLEUM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF INCOME (CONTINUED) (3) PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS The following describe the adjustments made to reflect the foregoing transaction as of the dates indicated above: (a) The pro forma lease operating expenses have been adjusted to reflect the estimated reduction in lease operating expenses on the Burlington Properties that would have resulted had the Company operated such properties during such period. The Company estimates that certain costs of personnel and certain other costs incurred by the sellers in their operation of the properties would have been significantly reduced had such properties been operated by the Company due to a reduction in personnel and different operating methods being utilized by the Company. The lower lease operating expenses as estimated by the Company are consistent with the Company's actual costs incurred in similar operations. (b) The pro forma general and administrative expenses have been adjusted to reflect the estimated increase in administrative personnel as a result of the acquisition of the Burlington Properties. (c) The pro forma depreciation, depletion and amortization expense has been adjusted by computing the Company's pro forma cost of proved oil and gas properties subject to amortization and estimated future costs to develop such properties, pro forma production and pro forma proved reserves, giving effect to the purchase of the Burlington Properties and comparing such computation with historical amounts. The Company's U.S. pro forma depreciation, depletion and amortization per equivalent barrel of oil is $4.11 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. (d) The pro forma interest expense has been adjusted to reflect the additional interest resulting from the purchase of the Burlington Properties as of January 1, 1997, with funds provided by advances under the Company's revolving credit facility. (e) The pro forma provision for income taxes has been adjusted to reflect the Company's U.S. statutory income tax rate of 38.9 percent. -7-
