DLB OIL & GAS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1997 and 1996
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPALS OF CONSOLIDATION
DLB Oil & Gas, Inc., ("DLB" or the "Company") is an independent energy
company engaged primarily in the exploration, development, production
and acquisition of oil and gas properties in the Mid-Continent region
and the coastal and shallow onshore regions of south Louisiana. In
addition, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bonray Drilling
Corporation ("Bonray"), which was acquired in February 1997, and
Gathering Energy Marketing Company, LLC ("GEMCO"), the Company is
engaged in the land contract drilling of oil and gas wells and in the
gathering, processing, transportation and marketing of hydrocarbons,
respectively.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The Company accounts for its investment in Waggoner
(Barbados) Ltd. using the equity method of accounting. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
included in DLB's 1996 annual report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (all of
which are normal and recurring) have been made which are necessary to
fairly state the consolidated position of the Company as of September
30, 1997, and the results of operations and their cash flows for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods, to
prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

(2) ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS
AMERADA HESS PROPERTIES
On May 31, 1996, the Company acquired certain Oklahoma oil and natural
gas properties from Amerada Hess Corporation ("Amerada Hess") for
approximately $32,100,000, with $25,500,000 allocated to producing
properties and $6,600,000 allocated to undeveloped leasehold and to
nonproducing perpetual mineral interests. The Company funded the
purchase through use of cash funds and borrowings of $30,000,000 from
its credit facilities.
Total estimated proved reserves attributable to the acquired Amerada
Hess properties as of May 31, 1996, net to the Company, were 6.8
Mmboe. Proved reserves attributable to such acquired properties were
divided approximately 43% oil and 57% natural gas. (The quantities of
proved reserves in this paragraph were prepared by the Company's
internal engineers and based on an independent reserve study prepared
as of January 1, 1996 by DeGolyer and MacNaughton and are unaudited.)
Results prior to May 31, 1996 are not included in DLB's consolidated
financial statements.
BONRAY DRILLING CORPORATION
On February 10, 1997, the Company purchased approximately 98% of the
outstanding common stock of Bonray Drilling Corporation ("Bonray")
through a tender offer. DLB paid $30.00 per share, or approximately
$12,700,000. Upon completion of the tender offer and subsequent
merger, Bonray Drilling Corporation became a subsidiary of DLB.
Bonray owned a total of 13 rigs, including six rigs capable of
drilling wells over 20,000 feet and nine rigs capable of drilling
wells from 7,500 to 15,000 feet. Two of the six deep drilling rigs
were remobilized and placed in operation during the second quarter of
1997. Ten rigs were in service or available for service at the time of
acquisition with three in stacked status.
This acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. As a
result, DLB's consolidated financial statements only include the
results of operations from February 10, 1997.
In October 1997, the Company exchanged on a tax-free basis the common
shares of Bonray owned by the Company for 2,955,000 common shares of
Bayard Drilling Technologies, Inc. ("Bayard"). The Company's ownership
of the 2,955,000 common shares represented 21.2% of the then
outstanding shares of Bayard. On November 3, 1997, Bayard sold
4,000,000 common shares in an initial public offering, reducing the
Company's ownership in Bayard to 16.5%. The Company will be using the
equity method to account for the investment in Bayard subsequent to
the closing of the transaction and will record its relative share of
Bayard's operations in the Company's operations. The fair value of the
Bayard common shares owned by the Company at November 3, 1997 was
approximately $68 million using the initial public offering price.

10
WRT ENERGY
During 1996 and 1997, the Company acquired senior unsecured notes and
other credit obligations of WRT Energy Corporation ("WRT Energy"), an
oil and gas company operating under the provisions of Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code from February 1996 through July
1997. These notes and other credit obligations were accounted for
using the cost method. Prior to the effective date of the
reorganization plan of WRT Energy, the Company's cost of these notes
and other credit obligations was approximately $8,400,000.
Under the plan, a new WRT Energy was created with approximately 22.07
million shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, the Company
and Wexford funded a rights offering associated with the
reorganization plan of WRT Energy. The rights to purchase new common
stock of WRT Energy were offered to all unsecured creditors of WRT
Energy. Pursuant to provisions of the plan, the Company and Wexford
committed to purchase the rights not exercised by other creditors. The
result of Company exchanging its WRT Energy notes, the Company's
interest in the West Cote Blanche Bay Field acquired in March of 1997
(described below), other WRT Energy obligations, and acquiring stock
through the rights offering is an approximate 48% equity interest in
the new WRT Energy.
An additional 1.41 million shares, currently in escrow, will be
distributed upon resolution of certain post closing matters.
WEST COTE BLANCHE BAY FIELD
On March 11, 1997, the Company purchased Texaco Exploration and
Production, Inc.'s 50% interest in the shallow rights in the West Cote
Blanche Bay Field ("WCBB") located in Saint Mary's Parish, Louisiana.
The purchase includes the right to operate existing and future wells
completed above the Robb "C" (a geologic marker located at
approximately 10,500 feet) and the right to operate the related
production facilities which include oil and gas pipelines, salt water
disposal wells, compression facilities and related equipment. The
purchase price was approximately $12,300,000. Proved reserves
attributable to the acquisition were estimated at approximately 12.2
Mmboe (million barrels of oil equivalent) as of January 1, 1997, and
are essentially 100% oil. (The quantities of proved reserves in this
paragraph were prepared by the Company's internal engineers and based
on an independent reserve study prepared as of January 1, 1997 by
Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc. and are unaudited.)
The remaining 50% working interest in the shallow rights to the WCBB
property is owned by WRT Energy. As part of the WRT Energy
reorganization plan, DLB contributed the acquired interest in WCBB
(described above) to WRT Energy in exchange for 5.0 million common
shares in the reorganized WRT Energy. (See Notes 3 and 7.)
Additionally, the Company purchased approximately $6,000,000 of
obligations of WRT Energy that relate to the West Cote Blanche Bay
Field properties. Such obligations were also converted into common
shares of the new WRT Energy and are included in the equity
percentages disclosed above.

(3) LONG-TERM DEBT
On March 5, 1997, the Company established a revolving credit facility
with a group of financial institutions ( "1997 Facility") in the
amount of $85,000,000, with an underlying borrowing base of
$80,000,000. This facility was used to refinance indebtedness under
the Company's 1995 credit facility with the remainder to be used for
funding of acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The maturity
of the 1997 facility is March 2002. On July 11, 1997, the underlying
borrowing base was changed to $65,000,000.
Under the terms of the 1997 facility, the Company may elect to be
charged at the bank's prime rate plus 1/2 of 1% plus a specified
margin or the rate at which Eurodollar deposits for one, two,
11
12
three, six or twelve months are offered to the bank in the Interbank
Eurodollar market plus a specified margin. Loans made under the 1997
facility are payable in full on the maturity date.
The 1997 facility contains restrictive covenants requiring, among
other things, maintenance at specific levels of tangible net worth,
working capital, and specific financial ratios, as well as limiting
the payment of dividends.
On July 11, 1997, the Company established an additional credit
facility ("New Credit Facility"), which provides for borrowings up to
$23,000,000. This new facility was used to finance the Company's
obligations under the WRT rights offering and to partially refinance
indebtedness under the 1997 Facility. The maturity date of this
facility is January 11, 1999.
Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, the Company may elect to
be charged interest at the higher of the rate of interest publicly
announced by the administrative agent at its prime rate in effect at
its principal office in New York City and the federal funds effective
rate from time to time plus 0.5% ("ABR") plus a specified margin or
the Eurodollar rate plus a specified margin. The New Credit Facility
contains restrictive covenants requiring among other things,
maintenance at specific levels of tangible net worth, working capital
and specific financial ratios, as well as limiting payment of
dividends.
(4) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On February 7, 1996, the Company adopted a common stock repurchase
plan. Under the terms of the plan, up to $5,000,000 of common stock
could have been repurchased from time to time. Pursuant to the plan,
25,000 shares were repurchased for $181,000. The Company holds
repurchased stock as treasury stock. The repurchase plan expired
August 5, 1996.
In 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan ("the Plan") pursuant
to which the Company's Board of Directors may grant stock options to
officers and key employees. Pursuant to the Plan, options were granted
in 1995 to purchase up to 1,625,000 shares of authorized but unissued
common stock. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal
to the stock's fair market value at the date of grant. All stock
options have ten year terms and vest ratably over a five year term.
On February 9, 1997, the Plan was amended to permit the granting of
options to employees to purchase 325,000 additional shares under the
Plan with basically the same terms as the original grants (with the
exception of the exercise price). Of this amount, 40,000 and 48,750
options have been granted as of September 30, 1997 at prices of $13.00
per share and $14.25 per share respectively.
(5) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In February 1996, the Company settled claims submitted to arbitration
against a joint venture partner alleging breach of contract and
tortious conduct. The claims arose under the terms of the Carmen Field
Joint Venture Agreement ("CFJV") dated May 26, 1993, between the
Company and Magic Circle Acquisition Corporation ("Magic Circle"). The
settlement agreement provided
12
13
for mutual release of all claims arising out of the CFJV, dissolution
of the CFJV, distribution to the Company of its interest in the CFJV
oil and gas properties, the payment of $3,349,000 to the Company and
transfer to the Company of its share of a gathering system in
Stephens County, Oklahoma, and transfer to Magic Circle gathering,
processing and compression facilities in Alfalfa and Woodward
Counties, Oklahoma. As a result of the settlement, the Company
recognized a $208,000 loss, including $212,000 of related legal fees.
(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 9, 1997, DLB Oil & Gas, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Bonray Drilling Corporation ("Bonray"), Bayard Drilling Technologies,
Inc. ("Bayard") and Bonray Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of Bayard,
entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") pursuant to which Bayard would acquire Bonray. On October
16, 1997, the merger of Bonray with Bonray Acquisition Corp. was
consummated. In the merger, each share of common stock of Bonray was
canceled and converted into 30.15 shares of common stock of Bayard and
DLB received 2,955,000 shares of Bayard common stock in consideration
for its interest in Bonray.
On October 22, 1997, DLB entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan
of Merger ("Chesapeake Merger") with Chesapeake Energy Corporation and
Chesapeake Merger Corp. In the Chesapeake Merger, DLB shareholders
will receive approximately $150,000,000 of total consideration for
DLB's Mid-Continent and Barbados oil and gas assets. Consideration
will consist of $65,000,000 of Chesapeake common stock and the
assumption of approximately $85,000,000 million in debt and other
liabilities. In addition, as part of the transaction, DLB shareholders
will receive their proportionate share of the common stock of Bayard
and WRT. DLB currently owns 2,955,000 shares of Bayard and 10,354,198
shares of WRT, all of which will be distributed to DLB shareholders.
Under the terms of the Chesapeake Merger, a subsidiary of Chesapeake
will merge with and into DLB. In the Chesapeake Merger, shares of DLB
common stock will be converted in to the right to receive: (1) a
fractional interest in a share of Chesapeake common stock equal to
$65,000,000 divided by the average of the closing prices of Chesapeake
for each of the first 20 consecutive trading days in the period
commencing 25 trading days prior to the date of DLB's special
stockholders meeting with respect to the Chesapeake Merger, divided by
the number of shares outstanding on the closing date, (2) a number of
shares of Bayard common stock equal to 2,955,000 divided by the number
of DLB's shares outstanding on the closing date, and (3) a number of
shares of WRT common stock equal to 10,354,198 divided by the number
of DLB shares outstanding on the closing date. In the event that the
average closing price for Chesapeake common stock is used in this
calculation is less that $7.50 per share, each of DLB and Chesapeake
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the
Chesapeake Merger agreement.
The merger is subject to approval of the holders of at least a majority
of the outstanding shares of DLB common stock as of the record date
by the taking of corporate action by written consent. The Company
anticipates a late January date for this corporate action by written
consent. DLB currently has 12,975,000 shares outstanding. Option
acceleration under existing incentive plans may affect the shares
outstanding at closing. Charles Davidson, Mark Liddell and Mike
Liddell, who collectively own over 75% of DLB's outstanding common
stock, have each entered into a proxy agreement with Chesapeake
pursuant to which, among other things, they have agreed to vote all
shares of common stock owned by them in favor of the merger at the DLB
special meeting or pursuant to a written consent in lieu of meeting.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q included "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in the Form
10-Q that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects
or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as
estimated future net revenues from oil and gas reserves and the present value
thereof, future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof),
business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive strengths,
goals, expansion and growth o the Company's business and operations, plans,
references to future success, references to intentions as to future matters and
other such matters are forward-looking statements, These statements are based
on certain assumptions and analysis made by the Company in light of its
experience and it perception of historical trends, current conditions and
expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are
appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and
developments will conform with the Company's expectations and predictions is
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties; general economic, market or
business conditions; the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented
to and pursued by the Company; competitive actions by other oil and gas
companies; changes in laws or regulations; and other factors, many of which are
beyond the control of the Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking
statements made in the Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements
and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments
anticipated by the Company will be realized, or even if realized, that they
will have the expected consequences to or the effects on the Company or its
business or operations.
The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the
Company's financial position as of September 30, 1997, and its results of
operations for the three month and the nine month periods ended September 30,
1997 and 1996. The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this

18
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
REVENUES ~ Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were
$18.0 million, an increase of $10.0 million from the comparable period in 1996.
The 125% increase in revenues was primarily related to the inclusion of
operations of Bonray Drilling Corporation, which was acquired in February 1997
and an increased level of oil and gas sales as a result of the acquisition of
WRT Energy Corporation ("WRT"). Revenues attributable to Bonray Drilling
Corporation and WRT for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 were
$5.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
Production of oil and gas was 340 Mbbl and 2,600 Mmcf, respectively, during the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 183 Mbbl and 1,663 Mmcf,
respectively during the same period of 1996 as a result of the acquisition of
the WRT properties, which produced 154 Mbbl and 583 Mmcf. The increases in
production primarily caused oil and gas sales revenues to increase $4.3 million
to $12.0 million in 1997. The average price received for oil slightly decreased
to $18.42 per barrel during the three months ended September 30, 1997 from
$20.91 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The average price
received for natural gas slightly decreased to $2.22 per Mcf during the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $2.35 per Mcf for the same period of 1996.
LEASE OPERATING EXPENSE ~ Lease operating expense increased to $4.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.8 million for the same period
of 1996. On a Boe basis, lease operating expenses were $5.24 per Boe for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $3.93 per Boe for the
comparable period of 1996. This increase per Boe was primarily a result of the
acquisition of the WRT properties during the three months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The lease operating expense
associated with WRT ws $7.02 per Boe.
GROSS PRODUCTION TAXES ~ Gross production taxes increased 83% to $0.9 million
during the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $0.5 million during the
same period of 1996. This increase was due to increased oil and gas sales
revenues.
CONTRACT DRILLING EXPENSE ~ Contract drilling expense was $3.9 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997. This expense relates to the operation of
the drilling rigs acquired in the acquisition of Bonray Drilling Corporation in
February 1997. (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.)
DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE ~ Depreciation, depletion and
amortization (DD&A) expense was $7.0 million and $2.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in DD&A
was primarily a result of the increased DD&A rate resulting from the
acquisition of WRT in July 1997, and to a lesser extent, increased production.
The DD&A rate per Boe related to oil and gas properties increased to $7.85 from
$5.91 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
per barrel cost of the WRT reserve at acquisition was $9.87.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE ~ General and administrative expense
increased 226% to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997
from $0.5 million during the same period of 1996. WRT's general and
administrative expense of $0.6 million and $0.3 million of general and
administrative expenses from the Company's drilling rig operations were the
primary factors of the increase.
INTEREST EXPENSE ~ Interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
1997 increased 274% to $2.1 million as compared to $0.6 million during the same
period of 1996. The Company's average debt outstanding was $98.3 million for
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $30.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. The average amount of debt outstanding
increased due
18
19
to the acquisitions of the Bonray Drilling Corporation, West Cote Blanche Bay
and WRT. (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.)
INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES ~ Income (loss) before income taxes was a
$1.5 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to
$1.7 million in income for the same period of 1996 primarily due to the factors
described above, including depreciation due to the acquisition of WRT,
increased lease operating expenses, and interest expense.
NET INCOME (LOSS) ~ Net income (loss) was $0.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1.1 million income for the same period in
1996 as a result of the items described above. The effective income tax rate is
higher than the corresponding period in 1996, as the loss incurred by WRT
creates a net operating loss carryforward that pursuant to the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" is not probable of being utilized and is therefore fully allowed for and
not available to provide a financial income tax benefit that would reduce DLB's
consolidated financial income tax provision.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
REVENUES ~ Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
$47.7 million, an increase of $29.0 million from the comparable period in 1996.
The 155% increase in revenues was primarily related to the inclusion of
revenues during the full period from the production of the Amerada Hess
properties, which were acquired in May 1996 and operations of Bonray Drilling
Corporation which were acquired in February 1997 and production of the WRT
properties acquired in July 1997. In addition, a 6% increase in product prices
contributed to increased revenues during the nine months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Revenues attributable to Bonray
Drilling Corporation for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 were
$12.6 million.
Production of oil and gas was 780 Mbbl and 6,875 Mmcf, respectively, during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 479 Mbbl and 3,606 Mmcf,
respectively during the same period of 1996. The increases in production
primarily caused oil and gas sales revenues to increase $15.9 million to $33.6
million in 1997. The average price received for oil increased slightly to
$20.41 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $20.20
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The average price received for
natural gas increased slightly to $2.57 per Mcf during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $2.23 per Mcf for the same period of 1996.
LEASE OPERATING EXPENSE ~ Lease operating expense increased to $8.5 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.9 million for the same period
of 1996. On a Boe basis, lease operating expenses were $4.42 per Boe for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $3.63 per Boe for the
comparable period of 1996. This increase per Boe was due to a result of the
acquisition of the WRT properties in the nine months ended September 30, 1997
as compared to the same period in 1996.
GROSS PRODUCTION TAXES ~ Gross production taxes increased 90% to $2.3 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.2 million during the
same period of 1996. This increase was due to increased oil and gas sales
revenues.
CONTRACT DRILLING EXPENSE ~ Contract drilling expense was $8.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. This expense relates to the operation of
the drilling rigs acquired in the acquisition of Bonray Drilling Corporation in
February 1997. (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.)
DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE ~ DD&A expense was $14.4
million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase in DD&A was primarily a result of the increased
production due to the acquisition of WRT in July 1997. The DD&A rate per Boe
related to oil and gas properties increased to $6.39 from $5.80 for the nine
months ended
19
20
September 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively, resulting primarily from the increase
in capitalized costs due to the acquisition.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE ~ General and administrative expense
increased 88% to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
$2.0 million during the same period of 1996. The increase was primarily
attributable to $0.7 million in general and administrative expenses as a result
of the Company' drilling rig operations and $0.6 million of general and
administrative expenses related to WRT acquired in July 1997
INTEREST EXPENSE ~ Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was $4.8 million. The Company's average debt outstanding was $77.1 million
for nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $14.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The average amount of debt outstanding
increased due to the 1996 acquisition of the Amerada Hess properties and the
1997 acquisitions of Bonray Drilling Corporation, and West Cote Blanche Bay, as
well as 1996 and 1997 investments in WRT Energy. (See Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements.)
NET LOSS ON SALE OF ASSETS ~ The Company recognized a net loss of $0.2 million
loss on the sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as a
result of the dissolution of the Carmen Field Joint Venture and the related
sale of gathering, processing and compression facilities. (See Note 5 to the
consolidated financial statements.)
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES ~ Income before income taxes increased to $5.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.9 million for the
same period of 1996 primarily due to the factors described above, including
increased oil and gas revenues due to the acquisition of the Amerada Hess
properties and Bonray Drilling. This increase in revenues was partially offset
by increased lease operating expenses, contract drilling expenses, depreciation
and interest expense.
NET INCOME ~ Net income increased to $3.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $2.4 million the same period in 1996 as a result of the
items described above, primarily increased production and increased prices and
the effect of the Company's drilling operations. The effective income tax rate
is higher than the corresponding period in 1996, as the loss incurred by WRT
creates a net operating loss carryforward that pursuant to the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" is not probable of being utilized and is therefore fully allowed for and
not available to provide a financial income tax benefit that would reduce DLB's
consolidated financial income tax provision.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The following table presents comparative cash flows of the Company for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.
Nine Months Ended
September 30,
-----------------------
1997 1996

(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 17,445 $ 9,579
Net cash used in investing activities (54,934) (50,955)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 45,242 31,819
Net cash provided from operating activities increased $7.9 million to $17.4
million during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $9.6 million
during the same period of 1996, relating to an increase in net income as well
as positive changes in working capital components.
Net cash used in investing activities was $54.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $51.0 million during the same period
of 1996. The increase of $3.9 million was primarily
20
21
attributable to acquisitions of Bonray Drilling Corporation and WRT and
expenditures for the exploration, development and acquisitions of other
property and equipment. (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.)
As of September 30, 1997, the Company had cash balances of $11.8 million and
working capital of $8.2 million. The increase in working capital of $7.0
million as of September 30, 1997, from $1.2 million as of December 31, 1996, is
primarily a result of financing activities and reduced capital expenditure
during the latter portion of the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES ~ The following table sets forth the Company's
expenditures for exploration, development, property acquisition, drilling
equipment, gas plant and gathering facilities and other property and equipment
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

======= =======
(1) This table includes WRT's capital expenditure since July 11, 1997. This
table does not include the costs to acquire WRT.
The Company had budgeted up to a total of $66.0 million in capital expenditures
in 1997. In addition to the capital expenditures set forth in the table above,
the Company anticipates additional capital expenditures for oil and gas
exploration activities. However, as a result of the merger agreement signed on
October 22, 1997 with Chesapeake Energy Corporation related to the Company's
Mid-Continent and Barbados assets, as well as the merger agreement signed on
October 16, 1997 between the Company and Bayard Drilling Technologies related
to the Company's drilling operations, the total level of expenditures for 1997
cannot be anticipated.
CAPITAL RESOURCES ~ Prior to the Company's initial public offering in July
1995, the Company's cash requirements had been met primarily through capital
contributions from shareholders, cash generated from operations and borrowings
under credit facilities. Subsequently, the Company has relied primarily on cash
flows from operations and borrowings under its credit facilities for additional
capital resources.
On March 5, 1997, the Company established a new revolving credit facility with
a group of financial institutions, which, as amended, provides for aggregate
borrowings of up to $85.0 million. Borrowings under the 1997 Credit Facility
were used to refinance indebtedness under a prior credit facility and to fund
the WCBB Acquisition. The aggregate borrowing base was changed to $65.0 million
effective July 11, 1997.
Under the terms of the 1997 Credit Facility, the Company may elect to be
charged at the bank's prime rate plus 50 basis points plus a specified margin
or the rate at which Eurodollar deposits for one, two, three, six or twelve
months are offered to the bank in the Interbank Eurodollar market plus a
specified margin. Loans made under the 1997 Credit Facility are payable in full
on March 2002, the maturity date.
21
22
The 1997 Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's
assets and contains various restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 1997,
outstanding borrowings under the 1997 credit facility were $62.0 million. As of
October 31, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the 1997 credit facility were
$62.0 million, leaving $3.0 million in available borrowing capacity.
On July 11, 1997, the Company established an additional credit facility, via
one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, with a banking institution, which
provides for borrowings up to $23,000,000. This facility was used to finance
the Company's obligations under the WRT rights offering and to partially
refinance indebtedness under the 1997 Facility. The maturity date of this
facility is January 11, 1999. As of October 31, 1997, outstanding borrowings
were $23.0 million.
Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, the Company may elect to be charged
the ABR rate plus a specified margin or the Eurodollar rate plus a specified
margin. The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants requiring among other
things, maintenance at specific levels of tangible net worth, working capital
and specific financial ratios, as well as limiting payment of dividends.
LIQUIDITY ~ The Company intends to meet the remainder of its 1997 capital
expenditures and its other obligations primarily from existing cash balances,
cash flow from operations and borrowings to the extent of availability under
the 1997 Credit Facility and the New Credit Facility. The Company's cash flow
from operations will be dependent upon its future performance, which will be
subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial and business
conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond its control.
The Company does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock in the near
future. The Company will redeploy earnings generated.
In future periods, the Company expects to recognize deferred income taxes of
approximately 37% to 39% of income before income taxes. The majority of the
Company's income tax expense is expected to be recognized as deferred income
tax expense due to the present tax treatment of oil and gas exploration costs.
The Company may from time to time enter into certain swap or hedge transactions
in an attempt to mitigate price volatility on production that is subject to
market sensitive pricing. To the extent the Company is unable to effect such
transactions, continued fluctuations in oil and gas prices could have an effect
on the Company's operating results. The Company has entered into futures
contracts to fix the sales price of certain of its gas production during 1997.
The Company has entered into gas futures contracts for the months of October
and November, with volumes ranging from 340,000 to 250,000 Mcf of gas per month
and prices ranging from $2.99 per Mcf in October to $3.05 per Mcf in November.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED ~ In February
1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997, and restatement of prior-period earnings per share data is required. The
new standard will not apply to DLB's financial statements until the fourth
quarter of 1997. SFAS No. 128 revises the current calculation methods and
