NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in Thousands) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Business Fishing Tools, Inc. (FTI or the Company), specializes in the downhole recovery of unwanted obstructions in the bore holes of oil and gas wells through the utilization of specifically designed tools, known as "fishing tools." The Company is engaged in the business of renting fishing tools as well as providing supervisory personnel for fishing operations. As of September 30, 1997, the Company operated out of Harvey, Golden Meadow and New Iberia, Louisiana, and Alice, Texas. In November 1997, the Company and Ponder Industries, Inc. (Ponder), entered into an agreement whereby Ponder agreed to purchase all of the outstanding stock of FTI (Acquisition) for cash consideration of $6,500 and $1,000 in Ponder common stock. Use of Estimates 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. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Parts and Supplies Parts and supplies for the manufacturing and repair of rental tools and parts used in conjunction with the rental of tools are expensed when purchased. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method at rates based on estimated lives of the respective assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. (See Note 2.) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments have been determined by the Company using appropriate valuation methodologies and approximate their recorded book values. The carrying values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and debt instruments approximate their fair values. 8 9 Revenue Recognition Revenues are recorded when services have been provided or products have been delivered. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company provides equipment and services to the oil and gas industry. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is reduced due to the number of customers comprising the Company's customer base. Ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and, generally, no collateral is required. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, two customers accounted for 11 percent and 10 percent, respectively, of the Company's total sales. At September 30, 1997, two customers accounted for 21 percent and 13 percent, respectively, of the Company's accounts receivable. Income Taxes The Company has elected S Corporation status as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, whereby the Company itself is not subject to taxation for federal purposes. Under S Corporation status, the stockholders report their share of the Company's taxable earnings or losses in their personal tax returns. Consequently, the accompanying financial statements of the Company do not include a provision for current or deferred federal income taxes. The Company intends to terminate its S Corporation status concurrent with the effective date of the Acquisition. 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment consists of the following September 30, 1997 Asset Life ---- ---------- Land $ 171 Buildings and improvements 745 20 years Rental tools and equipment 7,973 10 years Shop equipment and tools 747 5 years Transportation equipment 268 3 years Furniture and fixtures 129 5 years --------- $ 10,033 ========= 3. LONG-TERM DEBT: As of September 30, 1997, long-term debt consists of the following: Vehicle note payable to a bank $ 14 Note payable to a bank 780 ------ 794 Less- Current maturities (68) ------ Long-term debt, excluding current maturities $ 726 ====== The vehicle note payable to a bank requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $2, bears interest at 6.75 percent, matures in June 1998 and is secured by two vehicles. 9 10 The note payable to a bank requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $10 through April 2002 with the balance due in May 2002, bears interest at 8.5 percent and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. Maturities of long-term debt as of September 30, 1997, were as follows: 1998 $ 68 1999 59 2000 64 2001 70 2002 533 ------ $ 794 ====== 4. OPERATING LEASES: The Company leases certain property and equipment under operating leases. Minimum payments for operating leases having initial or remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year as of September 30, 1997, require payments of $26 for 1998. Total rent expense for all operating leases amounted to $36 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. 5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan (the Plan) which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for eligible employees. Eligible employees may defer a portion of their annual compensation under the Plan subject to maximum limitations. The Company will match 50 percent of employee contributions up to 6 percent of their salary and additional contributions will be at the sole discretion of the Company. The Company contributed matching funds of $36 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997. 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: At September 30, 1997, management of the Company is unaware of any pending or threatened litigation against the Company. 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Unaudited): In January 1998, FTI was acquired by Ponder for cash consideration of $6,500 and the issuance of 644,496 shares of Ponder common stock to the shareholders of FTI. Concurrent with the acquisition of FTI by Ponder, the indebtedness described in Note 3 above was paid. 10 11 PONDER INDUSTRIES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) INTRODUCTION (Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts) The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements include the accounts of Ponder Industries, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), and subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The pro forma condensed financial statements of the Company have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the Company's acquisition of Fishing Tools, Inc. (FTI) (a Louisiana corporation). FTI was acquired through the issuance of 644,496 shares of the Company's common stock and cash consideration of $6,500. The cash consideration was provided through an equity placement consisting of the sale of 11 million shares of the Company's common stock at $1 per share. Concurrent with this equity placement, the Company's Senior Convertible Notes, which were placed in October 1997, were converted into 4 million shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase was completed in January 1998. The Fishing Tools, Inc., column in the following condensed financial statements reflects the preacquisition balance sheet and statement of operations accounts. The pro forma financial statements do not include pro forma adjustments for income taxes due to the net operating loss carryforwards available to the Company. The pro forma condensed financial statements assume the above-described acquisition occurred as of September 1, 1996, for the condensed statement of operations and as of August 31, 1997, for the condensed balance sheet. Additionally, pro forma condensed statements are presented for the Company's most recent interim period ended November 30, 1997. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the pro forma condensed financial statements have been made. These pro forma condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1997, included in the Company's Form 10-K and the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 30, 1997. The pro forma condensed statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the transaction occurred at the beginning of the periods presented nor does it purport to indicate the results of future operations of the Company. 11 12 PONDER INDUSTRIES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES PRO FORMA CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET AUGUST 31, 1997 (Unaudited) (In Thousands) Ponder Pro Forma Industries, Condensed Inc., and Fishing Balance Subsidiaries, Tools, Inc., Sheet, August 31, September 30, Pro Forma August 31, ASSETS 1997 1997 Adjustments 1997 ------ ------------- ------------- ----------- ----------- CURRENT ASSETS: Cash and cash equivalents $ 4 $ 149 $ 6,057(a) $ 6,210 Receivables, net 4,134 1,368 -
