MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Hugoton Energy Corporation, a Kansas corporation, (together with its subsidiaries, "the Company") is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration for and the development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas. The Company's properties are primarily located in the four states of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and North Dakota. The Company is one of the most active independent operators in the Hugoton Field and has recently expanded its operations to other significant basins in the United States. Through September 30, 1996, the Company participated in the drilling of 35 wells of which 27 were successfully completed for a success rate of 77%. The Company plans to drill approximately 35 additional wells during the fourth quarter of 1996. CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS 1996 Acquisitions and Sales of Properties On June 20, 1996, the Company purchased a 50% working interest for $12.9 million in approximately 95,000 gross acres in the Austin Chalk Trend in Louisiana. This acreage acquisition, coupled with the January 1, 1996 acreage acquisition mentioned below and various acreage acquired in the third quarter, presents the Company with a total of 148,000 gross acres in the Austin Chalk Trend to explore. On April 29, 1996, the Company sold its interest in a group of non-strategic producing gas properties and a gas gathering and salt water disposal system located in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico to a major oil company for $4.5 million. On February 15, 1996, the Company sold its interest in approximately 450 non-strategic producing oil properties located in Northeast Oklahoma for $1.5 million. On January 1, 1996, the Company purchased a group of producing oil and gas properties and undeveloped acreage for $9.7 million from a privately-held company that operates the properties. The producing properties and acreage are located in Southeast Texas and established a presence for the Company in the Austin Chalk trend. The acquisition included eight producing wells and 35,000 gross acres, of which the Company's working interest is 25% and 50% respectively. 7 8 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain operating information of the Company for the periods shown: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net production(1): Natural gas (MMCF) 4,711 4,001 14,430 9,897 Oil (MBBLS) 411 253 1,268 493 Natural gas equivalents (MMCFE) 7,177 5,519 22,038 12,855 Average net daily production(1): Natural gas (MCF) 51,208 43,485 52,665 36,252 Oil (BBLS) 4,473 2,755 4,628 1,807 Natural gas equivalents (MCFE) 78,046 60,015 80,433 47,094 Average sales price per unit(2): Natural Gas ($/MCF) $1.54 $1.21 $1.65 $1.21 Oil ($/BBL) 18.16 16.01 17.66 16.43 Natural gas equivalents ($/MCFE) 2.05 1.61 2.10 1.56 - -------------- (1) Net production and average net daily production excludes NGLs and natural gas purchased by AmGas (100% owned subsidiary of the Company) from and sold to unrelated third parties. (2) Average prices received from sales of natural gas include revenues attributable to NGLs as the Company has not historically accounted separately for production or revenues attributable to NGLs. Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 Net Income or Loss and Cash Flow from Operating Activities. The Company reported a net loss of $0.2 million, or $.01 per share, on total revenue of $15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. This compares to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $.12 per share, on total revenues of $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995. Cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased to $6.4 million from $2.4 million for the same period in 1995. The decrease in the net loss and the increase in cash flows for 1996 is largely attributable to the impact of the addition of the properties acquired in the COG acquisition completed in September of 1995, higher average sales prices and the continued success of the Company's drilling program. The Company's net income, cash flows and average sales prices for the third quarter of 1996 were significantly impacted by the Company's oil and natural gas swap contracts, resulting in pre-tax income being reduced by $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Oil and Gas Revenues. Revenues from oil and gas operations increased by 65% to $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $8.9 million for the same period during 1995. The increase is attributed to the higher oil and natural gas prices, the inclusion of the COG acquisition properties and the continued success of the Company's drilling program. Production Expense. Production expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996, increased to $5.7 million compared to $2.8 million during the same period of 1995. This increase reflects the addition of a substantial number of wells, through the COG acquisition and the Company's drilling program, and the increase in the oil component of the Company's production from the previous period. General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased to $1.5 million in the three month period ended September 30, 1996, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 1995. This increase 8 9 reflects the continued expansion of the Company's operations; however, these expenses declined when expressed as a percentage of revenues. Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Expense. Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $5.9 million compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 1995. The increase is mainly due to higher production levels in 1996 compared to 1995 and the result of increased DD&A rates resulting from the application of the fair market value basis allocated to proved oil and gas properties acquired from COG, which bear a higher unit of production DD&A rate than the Company's other producing properties. Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.1 million compared to a tax benefit of $0.5 million for the same period of 1995. The benefit recorded in 1996 represents the Company's net loss for the three months ended at the effective tax rate of 38%. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Net Income or Loss and Cash Flow from Operating Activities. The Company reported net income of $0.9 million, or $.05 per share, on total revenue of $47.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This compares to a net loss of $1.9 million, or $.17 per share, on total revenues of $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Cash flows from operating activities increased to $18.4 million from $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The increase in net income and cash flows for 1996 is largely attributable to the impact of the addition of the properties acquired in the COG acquisition completed in September, 1995, higher average sales prices and the continued success of the Company's drilling program. The Company's net income, cash flows and average sales prices for the first nine months of 1996 were significantly impacted by the Company's oil and natural gas swap contracts, resulting in pre-tax income being reduced by $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 Oil and Gas Revenues. Revenues from oil and gas operations increased by 128% to $46.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $20.3 million for the same period during 1995. The increase is attributed to the higher oil and natural gas prices, the inclusion of the COG acquisition properties and the continued success of the Company's drilling program. Production Expense. Production expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, increased to $16.5 million compared to $6.4 million during the same period of 1995. This increase reflects the addition of a substantial number of wells, through the COG acquisition and the Company's drilling program, and the increase in the oil component of the Company's production. General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased to $4.9 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 1995. This increase reflects the continued expansion of the Company's operations; however, these expenses declined when expressed as a percentage of revenues. Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Expense. Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $18.2 million compared to $8.0 million for the same period of 1995. The increase is mainly due to higher production levels in 1996 compared to 1995 and the result of increased DD&A rates resulting from the application of the fair market value basis allocated to proved oil and gas properties acquired from COG, which bear a higher unit of production DD&A rate than the Company's other producing properties. Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a tax provision of $0.6 million compared to a tax benefit of $0.5 million for the same period of 1995. The provision recorded in 1996 represents the Company's net income for the nine months ended at the effective tax rate of 38%. 9 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's working capital position increased by $1.3 million from year-end 1995 to $7.4 million at September 30, 1996. Cash decreased and accounts receivable increased by $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The Company's current ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.9 at September 30, 1996 and 1.8 at December 31, 1995. Capital Expenditures. The Company's primary needs for cash are for exploration, development and acquisitions of oil and gas properties, payment of interest on outstanding indebtedness and working capital obligations. The Company's 1996 capital expenditure budget has been increased to $40 million. Through September 30, 1996, the Company has expended $23.5 million for acquisitions and $7.5 million on its drilling program. Funding for the Company's exploration and development activities and its working capital obligations is provided primarily by internally-generated cash flow. The Company budgets its capital expenditures based on projected cash flows and routinely adjusts the level of its capital expenditures in response to anticipated changes in cash flows. During the first nine months of 1996, the Company's net borrowings increased by $7 million as a result of acquisitions by the Company of certain producing properties and undeveloped acreage. Capital Resources. The Company's capital resources consist of cash flow from operating activities and funds available under its bank Credit Facility. On September 7, 1995, the Company arranged a new bank Credit Facility which is an unsecured $250 million revolving credit agreement that is due September 7, 1999. The new facility is provided by a group of seven commercial banks. The Borrowing Base, as defined, is currently set at $135 million, and is subject to semi-annual redetermination. Outstanding borrowings were $95 million at September 30, 1996. The Credit Facility provides the option of borrowing at floating interest rates based on the Agent Bank's base rate or at a Eurodollar option based on the London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") plus 3/4 of 1% to 1.25%, depending on the outstanding loan balance. Interest is paid quarterly or at the end of each interest period. The current weighted average interest rate is 6.52%. The Company also incurs a commitment fee of 1/4 of 1% on the unused portion of the Borrowing Base. The Credit Facility contains customary restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Company has historically funded its operations and capital spending programs with cash flow from operations and borrowings under bank credit facilities. The Company believes that cash flow from operations and the borrowing availability under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet its anticipated capital requirements for 1996. However, because future cash flows and the availability of financing are subject to a number of variables, such as the level of production and the prices received for natural gas and oil, there can be no assurance that the Company's capital resources will be sufficient to maintain currently planned levels of capital expenditures. In general, because the Company's principal natural gas and oil reserves are depleted by production, its success is dependent upon the results of its development, acquisition and exploration activities. This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, amended. Although the Company believes the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in the report will prove to be accurate. 10 11 PART II.
