NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION - These consolidated financial statements should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Commission in the Company's 1996 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Union Texas Petroleum Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 1997, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997, should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire year 1997. NOTE 2 - CREDIT FACILITIES - The Company had two unsecured bank credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities") at March 31, 1997. One of the Credit Facilities is a $100 million revolver that provides for conversion of amounts outstanding on March 10, 1998 to a one-year term loan maturing March 9, 1999. Another Credit Facility is a $450 million revolver that reduces quarterly by $35 million beginning June 30, 2001, with a final maturity of March 31, 2002. In addition to such Credit Facilities, the Company has the ability to obtain short-term borrowings on uncommitted and unsecured lines of credit with several banks. NOTE 3 - CONTINGENCIES - The Company and its subsidiaries and related companies are named defendants in a number of lawsuits and named parties in numerous government proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of contingencies, lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that any liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company. 4 6 UNION TEXAS PETROLEUM HOLDINGS, INC. With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of Union Texas Petroleum Holdings, Inc. for the three- month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, Price Waterhouse LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated April 22, 1997 appearing below, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited consolidated financial information. Price Waterhouse LLP has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those which would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Price Waterhouse LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited consolidated financial information because that report is not a "report" prepared or certified by Price Waterhouse LLP within the meaning of sections 7 and 11 of the Act. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT To the Board of Directors of Union Texas Petroleum Holdings, Inc. We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Union Texas Petroleum Holdings, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 1997 and the related consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. This financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial information for it to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of cash flows, and of stockholders' equity for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 14, 1997 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 1996, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP Houston, Texas April 22, 1997 5 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes, and management's discussion contained in the registrant's 1996 annual report on Form 10-K, and condensed financial statements and notes contained in this report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was $64 million, or $.74 per share as compared to net income of $48 million, or $.54 per share reported for the same period in 1996. The current quarter was favorably impacted by higher worldwide oil prices, higher LNG and gas prices, higher U.K. oil volumes and lower interest expense partially offset by lower LNG volumes. Sales and operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997, were $282 million, as compared to $258 million for the first quarter of 1996. International revenues totaled $234 million as compared to $217 million for the first quarter of 1996. In the U.K., sales and operating revenues increased by $16 million due to higher crude oil prices and increased sales volumes, including higher gas takes from the Sean fields. In Indonesia, sales decreased $2 million due to lower LNG and oil volumes partially offset by higher prices. For the full year, LNG sales volumes are expected to be approximately 15% below 1996 levels. In Pakistan, sales were $3 million above 1996 primarily due to higher crude oil and gas prices. Average prices received and volumes sold by the Company's major operations during the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively, were as follows: PRICES VOLUMES (000S PER DAY) 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- Crude oil (barrels): U.K. $19.17 $18.09 47 46 Pakistan 19.15 16.17 7 6 Indonesia 21.79 18.34 6 8 Indonesian LNG (Mcf) 4.02 3.30 194 241 Pakistan natural gas (Mcf) 1.71 1.29 38 43 U.K. natural gas (Mcf) 3.00 2.50 79 59 U.S. ethylene (pounds) .25 .18 1,168 1,180 Petrochemical revenues totaled $48 million as compared to $41 million in the first quarter of 1996, while operating profit was $1 million as compared to $4 million in the prior period. The revenue increase was principally due to higher ethylene sales prices, however, higher feedstock cost and pipeline maintenance expense offset the revenue increase. Interest expense in the first quarter of 1997 was lower than the same period of 1996 due to a reduction in the Company's debt level. Lower exploration expenses were primarily due to reduced exploration costs in Alaska. 6 8 FINANCIAL CONDITION Cash flow from operations: Net cash provided by operating activities was $83 million in the first quarter of 1997, a decrease of $13 million from the same period in the prior year. The decline was due mainly to the timing of U.K. tax payments and lower Indonesian LNG volumes, partially offset by higher product prices. Capital resources: Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1997 were $33 million including capitalized interest of $8 million. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1996 were $45 million including capitalized interest of $6 million. The current quarter decrease was due to lower Alaska exploration drilling and reduced development costs for the Britannia field in the U.K. North Sea. Financing activities: The Company had two unsecured credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities") at March 31, 1997. One of the Credit Facilities is a $100 million revolver that provides for conversion of amounts outstanding on March 10, 1998 to a one-year term loan maturing March 9, 1999. This facility replaced a $100 million unsecured credit agreement that matured on March 15, 1997. The other Credit Facility is a $450 million revolver that reduces quarterly by $35 million beginning June 30, 2001, with a final maturity of March 31, 2002. At March 31, 1997, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facilities. The $450 million revolver allows the Company to borrow up to $300 million in U.S. dollar loans at interest rates determined in a competitive bid process. Loans under the $450 million revolver may be made in both pounds sterling and U.S. dollars at the option of the Company. Loans under the Credit Facilities bear interest at floating market rates based on, at the Company's option, the agent bank's base rate or LIBOR, plus applicable margins, subject to increase or decrease in certain events. The Credit Facilities contain restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain coverage ratios related to the incurrence of additional indebtedness and limitations on asset sales and mergers or consolidations. The covenants also require maintenance of stockholders' equity, as adjusted, at $350 million. Under the terms of the Credit Facilities, the Company may pay dividends and make stock repurchases provided that such level of minimum stockholders' equity is maintained and the Company complies with certain other covenants in the Credit Facilities. At March 31, 1997, the Company's adjusted stockholders' equity was approximately $635 million. The Credit Facilities provide the Company with the ability to borrow on a long-term basis. The Company has established short-term, uncommitted and unsecured lines of credit with several banks in both U.S. dollars and pounds sterling. These money market borrowings, which have a short-term maturity, have been classified as long-term debt based on the Company's ability to refinance them on a long-term basis through its Credit Facilities. At March 31, 1997, $13 million was outstanding under these money market lines. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $537 million of available financing under the Credit Facilities. The Company's indirect subsidiary, Union Texas Britannia Limited ("UTBL"), has a 150 million pounds sterling secured financing from a syndicate of banks. The financing is used to fund the Company's share of the cost of developing the Britannia field to production. At March 31, 1997, 63 million pounds sterling ($103 million) was outstanding under UTBL's financing which bore interest at a weighted average rate of 7.0% per annum. In 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, all of which were repurchased by the end of 1996. In October, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, all of which were repurchased by March 31, 1997. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company repurchased a total of 1,821,264 shares at an average price of $18.84 per share. The repurchased stock will be used for general corporate purposes, including fulfilling employee benefit program obligations. At March 31, 1997, 3,206,366 shares of common stock were held, at cost, as treasury shares. Financial condition: In the first quarter of 1997 the Company declared and paid a dividend of approximately $4.3 million on its common stock. On April 16, 1997 the Company announced a dividend on its common stock of $.05 per share to stockholders of record as of April 30, 1997, payable on May 15, 1997. 7 9 FORM 10-Q PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and its subsidiaries and related companies are named defendants in numerous lawsuits and named parties in numerous governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company. (See Item 3 in the Company's 1996 annual report on Form 10-K.) ITEM 5 - OTHER INFORMATION Indonesia. The Company's Indonesian activities consist primarily of its 37.81% working interest in an East Kalimantan joint venture that supplies natural gas to a liquefied natural gas ("LNG") plant at Bontang Bay owned by Pertamina, the Indonesian national oil company. In March 1997, a $1,127 million financing was signed for the eighth train (Train H), an additional LNG storage tank, an additional natural gas pipeline from the Badak field to the LNG plant, and a debottlenecking project for Trains A through F. The financing was provided by a combination of Taiwanese and Japanese sources and a group of international banks through arrangements similar to those used to finance the seventh train (Train G). The financing provides for initial advances of up to $150 million, with further advances being conditioned upon the execution and delivery of the marine transportation agreement associated with the Badak VI Sales Contract. Construction is expected to begin in 1997. Revenues from the Badak V Sales Contract with Korea Gas Corporation and the Badak VI Sales Contract with Chinese Petroleum Corporation will be the primary sources of repayment for this financing. Financing for the eighth train is nonrecourse to both Pertamina and the joint venture.
