Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Inland" shall mean Inland Resources Inc., a Washington corporation, and references to the "Company" or its operations shall mean Inland and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Inland Production Company ("IPC"), a Utah corporation, and Inland Working Capital Company ("IWCC"), a Utah corporation. For definitions of certain terms relating to the oil and gas industry used in this section, see Items 1. and 2. "Business and Properties -- Certain Definitions." All references to shares of Inland's common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), and share prices in this Form 10-K have been adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected December 14, 1999. ITEMS 1. & 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES OVERVIEW Inland Resources Inc. is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, development, and enhancement of oil and gas properties in the western United States. All of the Company's oil and gas reserves are located in the Monument Butte Field (the "Field") within the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah. Until January 31, 2000, the Company was also engaged in the refining of crude oil and wholesale marketing of refined petroleum products, including various grades of gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, waxes and asphalt through a former subsidiary, Inland Refining, Inc. ("Refining"). Inland conducts its operations through its subsidiaries, IPC and IWCC. In 2000, IPC drilled 44 gross (35.5 net) developmental wells. At December 31, 2000, the Company's estimated net proved reserves totaled 58,191 MBOE, having a pre-tax present value discounted at 10% using constant prices of $447 million. The Company intends to pursue a balanced strategy of development drilling and acquisitions, focusing on enhancing operating efficiency and reducing capital costs through the concentration of assets in selected geographic areas. Currently, the Company's operations are focused on the full development of the Field where the Company operates 662 gross (523 net) oil wells, including 201 gross (165 net) injection wells. Inland pioneered the secondary water flood recovery processes used in the Field and currently operates 21 approved secondary recovery projects in the area. Budgeted development expenditures for 2001 in the Field are $17 million net to the Company. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Sale of Refinery Operations. Effective January 31, 2000, Inland sold all of its capital stock in Refining to Silver Eagle Refining, Inc. ("Silver Eagle") for $500,000 and the assumption of various refinery liabilities and obligations. Refining owns the Wood Cross Refinery in Woods Cross, Utah and the Roosevelt Refinery in Roosevelt, Utah (which was non-operating at the time of sale). Prior to the sale, the existing cash, inventory, accounts receivable and a note receivable were transferred to IWCC, and IWCC agreed to satisfy various accounts payable and liabilities not assumed as part of the purchase price. As a result of the sale of Refining to Silver Eagle, the Company is no longer engaged in the business of refining crude oil and marketing refined petroleum products. Change of Control and Recapitalization. On September 21, 1999, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Trust Company of the West, as Sub-Custodian for Mellon Bank for the benefit of Account No. CPFF 873-3032 ("Fund V"), TCW Portfolio No. 1555 DR V Sub-Custody Partnership, L.P. ("Portfolio") (Portfolio and Fund V collectively being referred to as "TCW"), Inland Holdings LLC ("Holdings") and Joint Energy Development Investments II Limited Partnership ("JEDI"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Fund V agreed to exchange $75 million in principal amount of subordinated indebtedness of IPC plus accrued interest of $5.7 million and Portfolio agreed to exchange warrants to purchase 15,852 shares of Common Stock for the following securities of Inland issued to Holdings, whose members are Fund V and Portfolio: (1) 10,757,747 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, (2) 5,882,901 shares of Series Z Preferred Stock, which automatically converted into 588,291 shares of Common Stock on December 14, 1999, and (3) 1,164,295 shares of Common Stock; and JEDI agreed to exchange the 100,000 shares of Inland's Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") owned by JEDI, together with $2.2 2 4 million of accumulated dividends thereon, for (A) 121,973 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and (B) 292,098 shares of Common Stock (the "Recapitalization"). The Series C Preferred Stock bore dividends at a rate of $10 per share, had a liquidation preference of $100 per share and was required to be redeemed at a price of $100 per share not later than January 21, 2008. On March 20, 2001, Hampton Investments LLC ("Hampton"), an affiliate of Smith Management LLC, purchased from JEDI the 121,973 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and 292,098 shares of Common Stock acquired by JEDI in the recapitalization. Following closing of the Exchange Agreement and the purchase by Hampton of JEDI's shares, Holdings owns 1,752,586 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 60.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at March 20, 2001, and Hampton owns 292,098 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 10.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at March 20, 2001. The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles"), provide that the Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class and not as a separate voting group or class on all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company, except as mandated by law or as expressly set forth in the Articles. The Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock vote with the Common Stock on the basis of one vote for each 10 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Articles, the total number of votes of the combined class of Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock outstanding at March 20, 2001 is 3,985,704 votes, of which 2,828,361 votes (representing approximately 71% of the total) are owned by Holdings, and 304,295 votes (representing approximately 7.6% of the total) are owned by Hampton. TCW Asset Management Company has the power to vote and dispose of the securities owned by Holdings. Various persons and entities that may be considered related to Hampton own an additional 548,338 shares of Common Stock, so that together with Hampton such persons, entities and Hampton own an aggregate of 840,436 shares of Common Stock and 852,633 votes (representing approximately 21.4% of the total). OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION OPERATIONS General. The Company conducts exploration and production activities primarily through IPC, which owns all of the oil and gas acreage, wells, gas gathering systems, water delivery, injection and disposal systems and other oil and gas related tangible assets of the Company. IPC serves as the operator of 662 wells, or 97% of the wells in which the Company has an interest. Certain disclosures with respect to production, exploration and transportation activities for Inland's fiscal years 1998, 1999 and 2000 are set forth in pages F-23 and F-24 of this Annual Report. Oil and Gas Reserves. The following table sets forth the Company's estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves and the estimated future net revenues (by reserve categories) without consideration of indirect costs such as interest, administrative expenses or income taxes. These estimates were prepared by the Company, with certain portions having been reviewed by Ryder Scott Company, an independent reservoir engineer. The review by Ryder Scott Company consisted of properties which comprised approximately 80% of the total present worth of future net revenue discounted at 10% as of December 31, 2000. The total proved net reserves estimated by the Company were within 10% of those reviewed and estimated by Ryder Scott Company; however, on a well by well basis, differences of greater than 10% may exist. See also, the Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures appearing on pages F-23 through F-26 of this Annual Report. As of December 31, 2000 ---------------------------------- Proved Proved Total Developed Undeveloped Proved --------- ----------- ------ (dollars in thousands) Net Proved Reserves Oil (MBls) 17,531 29,628 47,159 Gas (MMcf) 13,647 52,540 66,187 MBOE (6Mcf per Bbl) 19,806 38,385 58,191 Estimated Future Net Revenues(1) $ 344,340 $ 794,666 $1,139,006 Present Value of Future Net Revenues(2) $ 179,199 $ 267,834 $ 447,033 3 5 - --------- (1) Undiscounted. (2) Discounted at 10%. Future net revenues from reserves at December 31, 2000 were calculated on the basis of market prices in effect on that date and were approximately $23.78 per barrel of oil and $7.73 per Mcf of gas. The value of the estimated proved gas reserves are net of deductions for shrinkage and natural gas required to power future field operations. Petroleum engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and of future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, including the following: o historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas; o the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies; o assumptions concerning future oil and gas prices; and o assumptions concerning future operating costs, production taxes, development costs and work over and remedial costs. Because all reserve estimates are to some degree subjective, (a) the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered, (b) the production and operating costs incurred, (c) the amount and timing of future development expenditures and (d) future oil and gas sales prices may differ materially from those assumed in estimating reserves. Furthermore, different reserve engineers may make different estimates of reserves and cash flows based on the same available data. Inland's actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to reserves will likely vary from estimates and the variances may be material. No estimates of total proven net oil and gas reserves have been filed by the Company with, or included in any report to, any United States authority or agency pertaining to the Company's individual reserves since the beginning of the Company's last fiscal year. Production, Unit Prices and Costs. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the production volumes of, average sale prices received for, and average production costs for the sales of oil and gas by the Company. See also, the Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures appearing on pages F-23 through F-26 of this Annual Report.

The following table sets forth the number of oil and gas wells drilled in which the Company had an interest during 2000, 1999 and 1998. 2000 1999 1998 --------------- ------------- ----------- Gross Net Gross Net Gross Net ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ---- Development wells: Oil(1) ............ 43(2) 34.5(2) 8 7.5 90 69 Dry ............... 1 1 5 4 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Total ......... 44 35.5 8 7.5 95 73 ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== - -------------- (1) All of the completed wells have multiple completions, including both oil completions and gas completions. Consequently, pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, each well is classified as an oil well. (2) Three of the wells (gross and net) were completed as water injection wells. The information contained in the foregoing table should not be considered indicative of future drilling performance nor should it be assumed that there is any necessary correlation between the number of productive wells drilled and the amount of oil and gas that may ultimately be recovered by the Company. The Company does not own any drilling rigs and all of its drilling activities are conducted by independent contractors on a day rate or footage basis under standard drilling contracts. Productive Oil And Gas Wells and Water Injection Wells. The following table reflects the number of productive oil and gas wells and water injection wells in which the Company held a working interest as of December 31, 2000: Wells(1) -------------------------------------------- Gross(2) Net(2) ------------------- ------------------- Water Water Location Oil(1) Injection Oil(1) Injection - -------- ------ --------- ------ --------- Utah(3) 476 204 360 166 - --------- (1) The Company is an operator of 662 gross wells (523 net) and a non-operator with respect to 18 gross (3 net) wells. (2) Net wells represent the sum of the actual percentage working interests owned by the Company in gross wells at December 31, 2000. (3) All of the Company's wells are located in the Field. 5 7 Acreage Data. The following table reflects the developed and undeveloped acreage that the Company held as of December 31, 2000: Developed Acreage Undeveloped Acreage(1) ----------------- ---------------------- Gross Net Gross Net Location Acres Acres Acres Acres -------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Utah(2) 26,200 21,900 106,300 82,000 - --------- (1) Undeveloped acreage includes 58,000 gross (43,300 net) acres held by production at December 31, 2000. (2) All of the Company's acreage is located in the Field. As of December 31, 2000, the undeveloped acreage not held by production involves 250 leases with remaining terms of up to 10 years. Leases covering approximately 1,860 net acres have expiration dates in 2001. The Company intends to renew expiring leases in areas considered to have good development potential. The Company also intends to continue paying delay rentals and minimum royalties necessary to maintain these leases (an expense of approximately $76,000 net to the Company in 2000). To the extent that wells cannot be drilled in time to hold a lease which the Company desires to retain, the Company may negotiate a farm-out arrangement of such lease retaining an override or back-end interest. Secondary Recovery Enhancement Activities. Inland presently engages in secondary recovery enhancement operations in the Field through water flooding. Water flooding involves the pumping of large volumes of water into an oil producing reservoir to increase or maintain reservoir pressures, resulting in greater crude oil production. Inland currently operates 21 approved water flood units or areas. At December 31, 2000, the Company had 201 wells injecting an aggregate of 12,000 BWPD. During 2000, the Company installed 20 miles of water pipelines to handle low pressure water delivery and high pressure water injection. The Company also converted 41 gross (33 net) oil wells into injection wells. At December 31, 2000, the Company owned and operated 140 miles of water pipelines and seven water injection plants with an injection capacity of 20,000 BWPD. Inland has experienced stabilized or increasing production in many wells offsetting its water injection operations. Inland intends to continue aggressively developing secondary recovery water flood operations by extending infrastructure and initiating injection in 50 wells in the Field during 2001. The Company has agreements with the Johnson Water District, the Upper Country Water District and the State of Utah to take up to 37,000 BWPD, subject to availability, from their water pipelines for the Company's water flood injection operations in the Field. All water rights are subject to various terms and conditions including state and federal environmental regulations and system availability. Inland believes that these agreements will provide sufficient water to handle all water injection at peak field development. Gas Gathering And Transportation Systems. The Company currently produces approximately 11 MMcf of natural gas per day and sells approximately 7 MMcf of natural gas per day. The difference between the volume of natural gas produced and sold is the amount of natural gas that the Company uses as lease fuel for operations. The Company collects and markets approximately 90% of its operated gas production using its gas gathering, transportation and compression system. The system consists of approximately 325 miles of pipelines and 2 compression facilities using 5 compressors and 2 dehydration units with a throughput capacity of 22.5 MMcf per day. Delivery Commitments. The Company has no material delivery commitments under contracts. Markets for Oil and Gas. The availability of a ready market and the prices obtained for the Company's oil and gas depend on many factors beyond the Company's control, including the extent of domestic production and imports of oil and gas, the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, fluctuating demands for oil and gas, the marketing of competitive fuels, and the effects of governmental regulation of oil and gas production and sales. The crude oil produced from the Field is called Black Wax. The Black Wax produced from the Field is primarily transported by truck and refined in Salt Lake City at one of four large refineries operated by Flying J, BP, Chevron and Phillips. Transportation of large quantities of Black Wax by pipeline is not currently feasible, and transportation by truck or rail to refineries in California or Colorado is not economical. Black Wax is a valuable commodity since it is low in sulfur content and can be distilled and cracked into high margin petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel; however, 6 8 it does not blend well with other crude oil feedstocks in the refining process. Since Black Wax has limited compatibility in blending, the demand for Black Wax tends to become inelastic as the supply of Black Wax reaches the cracking and blending capacity of the Salt Lake City refineries. The Company estimates the existing refining capacity for Black Wax in Salt Lake City to be higher than local production. The Company is aware of refinery modifications in the Salt Lake City market that should further increase the demand for Black Wax in the next two years. The Company has various contracts to sell its Black Wax crude oil to the Salt Lake City refiners. The pricing mechanism under each contract is directly related to the average monthly settlement prices of certain futures contracts quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange index ("NYMEX). The negative basis differential between NYMEX and the Company's wellhead price averaged $3.56 during year 2000 and the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company expects the basis differential to approximate $3.60 through August 2002. Subsequent to August 2002 and through December 2005, the Company has a contract with one of the refiners to sell up to 7,000 barrels of oil per day at NYMEX less $3.00. The NYMEX price ranged from $25.54 to $34.26 during 2000 and was $28.40 for December 2000. The NYMEX price ranged from $12.02 to $26.09 during 1999. Prior to the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company sold Black Wax at the average monthly posted field price less a deduction of approximately $1.00 per barrel for oil quality adjustments. The posted field price ranged from $7.75 to $23.75 during 1999. During 2000 and 1999, the Company sold 59% and 29%, respectively, of its oil production to BP. During 2000, the Company sold 41% of its oil production to Chevron. During 1999, the Company sold 63% of its crude oil production to Refining. The Company markets substantially all of its operated gas production. The Company currently has contracts to sell 3,400 Mcf per day through October 2001 at $4.70 per Mcf. Natural gas marketed by the Company not subject to gas purchase agreements is sold on a month-to-month basis in the spot market, the price of which ranged from $2.52 to $7.18 per Mcf during 2000 and from $1.67 to $3.30 per Mcf during 1999, and was $7.18 per Mcf for December 2000. All spot market sales during 2000 and 1999 were made to Wasatch Energy Corporation ("Wasatch"). Inland believes that the loss of Wasatch as a purchaser of its gas production would not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations due to the availability of other natural gas purchasers in the area. Regulation of Exploration and Production. The Company's oil and gas exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal and state agencies. Failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases the Company's cost of doing business and affects its profitability. Because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or interpreted differently by regulatory agencies, Inland is unable to accurately predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws. The Company's oil and gas exploration and production operations are affected by state and federal regulation of oil and gas production, federal regulation of gas sold in interstate and intrastate commerce, state and federal regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control, state limits on allowable rates of production by a well or proration unit and the amount of oil and gas available for sale, state and federal regulations governing the availability of adequate pipeline and other transportation and processing facilities, and state and federal regulation governing the marketing of competitive fuels. For example, a productive gas well may be "shut-in" because of an over-supply of gas or lack of an available gas pipeline in the areas in which Inland may conduct operations. State and federal regulations generally are intended to prevent waste of oil and gas, protect rights to produce oil and gas between owners in a common reservoir, control the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production and control contamination of the environment. Pipelines are subject to the jurisdiction of various federal, state and local agencies. Many state authorities require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and gas. Such states also have ordinances, statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells, and limitations establishing maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells. However, no Utah regulations provide such production limitations with respect to the Field. Environmental Regulation. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation has been generally toward stricter standards, and this trend will likely continue. The Company does not presently anticipate that it will be required to expend amounts relating to its oil and gas production operations that are material in relation to its total capital expenditure program by reason of environmental laws and regulations, but because such laws and regulations are subject to interpretation by enforcement agencies and are frequently changed by legislative bodies, the Company is unable to accurately predict the ultimate cost of such compliance for 2001. 7 9 The Company is subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, and areas containing threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species, and impose substantial liabilities for unauthorized pollution resulting from the Company's operations. The following environmental laws and regulatory programs appeared to be the most significant to the Company's operations in 2000, and are expected to continue to be significant in 2001: Regulated Access to Public Lands. A substantial portion of the Company's operations occur on federal leaseholds. During 1996, the Vernal, Utah office of the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") undertook the preparation of an Environmental Assessment ("EA") to evaluate the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the Company's proposed development plan within the Field. The Agency's Record of Decision ("ROD") on the EA, which was issued on February 3, 1997, identified surface stipulations and mitigation measures that the Company must implement to protect various surface resources, including protected and sensitive plant and wildlife species, archaeological and paleontological resources, soils and watersheds. The Company has proven itself successfully at continuing to develop oil and gas resources in the Field while complying with the surface stipulations and mitigation measures contained in the ROD. On February 16, 1999, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service ("USFWS") issued a Proposed Rule to list the mountain plover, a small ground-nesting bird, as "threatened" under the Federal Endangered Species Act. The Field contains the only known breeding population of mountain plover in Utah. The USFWS had not issued a Final Rule to list the mountain plover as of December 31, 2000, however, the USFWS and BLM are likely to implement additional restrictive surface stipulations in the Field once a Final Rule to list the mountain plover as threatened is issued. Based on preliminary discussions with the USFWS and BLM, the Company believes it will be able to comply with any additional surface stipulations without causing a material impact on its future drilling plans in the Field. Clean Water and Oil Pollution Regulatory Programs. The federal Clean Water Act ("CWA") regulates discharges of pollutants to surface waters. The discharge of crude oil and petroleum products to surface waters also is precluded by the Oil Pollution Act ("OPA"). The Company's operations are inherently subject to accidental spills and releases of crude oil and drilling fluids that may give rise to liability to governmental entities or private parties under federal, state or local environmental laws, as well as under common law. Minor spills occur from time to time during the normal course of the Company's production operations. The Company maintains spill prevention control and countermeasure plans ("SPCC plans") for facilities that store large quantities of crude oil or petroleum products to prevent the accidental discharge of these potential pollutants to surface waters. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had undertaken all investigative or remedial work required by governmental agencies to address potential contamination by accidental spills or discharges of crude oil or drilling fluids. The Company's operations involve the injection of water into the subsurface to enhance oil recovery. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act ("SDWA"), oil and gas operators, such as the Company, must obtain a permit for the construction and operation of underground Class II enhanced recovery underground injection wells. To protect against contamination of drinking water, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the State of Utah regulate the quality of water that may be injected into the subsurface, and require that mechanical integrity tests be performed on injection wells every five years. In addition, the Company is required to monitor the pressure at which water is injected, and must not exceed the maximum allowable injection pressure set by the EPA and the State of Utah. The Company has obtained the necessary permits for the Class II injection wells it operates, and monitors the water quality of injection water at several injection stations. The Company also maintains a schedule to conduct mechanical integrity tests for each well every five years. The Company experienced some difficulty monitoring and regulating injection pressures at each individual injection well during the period from 1995 to 1998. The Company has reached a tentative Settlement with EPA on injection well over pressuring during the 1995 to 1998 time period, and is currently in substantial compliance with the EPAs underground injection program. The Company developed a computer program in 1999 to assist with monitoring injection pressures that has enhanced the Company's efforts to meet EPA requirements. 8 10 Clean Air Regulatory Programs. The Company's operations are subject to the federal Clean Air Act ("CAA"), and state implementing regulations. Among other things, the CAA requires all major sources of hazardous air pollutants, as well as major sources of certain other criteria pollutants, to obtain operating permits, and in some cases, construction permits. The permits must contain applicable Federal and state emission limitations and standards as well as satisfy other statutory and regulatory requirements. The 1990 Amendments to the CAA also established new monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements to provide a reasonable assurance of compliance with emission limitations and standards. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had taken all steps necessary to be in substantial compliance with this CAA and its implementing regulations. Waste Disposal Regulatory Programs. The Company's operations generate and result in the transportation and disposal of large quantities of produced water and other wastes classified by EPA as "nonhazardous solid wastes." The EPA is currently considering the adoption of stricter disposal and clean-up standards for nonhazardous solid wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"). In some instances, EPA has already required the clean up of certain nonhazardous solid waste reclamation and disposal sites under standards similar to those typically found only for hazardous waste disposal sites. It also is possible that wastes that are currently classified as "nonhazardous" by EPA, including some wastes generated during the Company's drilling and production operations, may in the future be reclassified as "hazardous wastes." Because hazardous wastes require much more rigorous and costly treatment, storage, transportation and disposal requirements, such changes in the interpretation and enforcement of the current waste disposal regulations would result in significant increases in waste disposal expenditures by the Company. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to have caused or contributed to the release or threatened release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include the current or past owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that transported, disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances under CERCLA. These persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources. The Company is not presently aware of any potential adverse claims in this regard. Health and Safety Regulatory Programs. The Company's operations also are subject to regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") regarding worker and work place safety. The Company currently provides health and safety training and equipment to its employees and is adopting additional corporate policies and procedures to comply with OSHA's workplace safety standards. Operational Hazards And Uninsured Risks. The oil and gas business involves certain inherent operating hazards such as (a) well blowouts, (b) cratering, (c) explosions, (d) uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, (e) fires, (f) formations with abnormal pressures, (g) pollution, (h) releases of toxic gas and (i) other environmental hazards and risks. Any of these operating hazards could result in substantial losses to the Company. In accordance with customary industry practices, the Company maintains insurance against some, but not all, of these risks and losses. The Company is also required under various operating agreements to (a) maintain certain insurance coverage on existing wells and all new wells drilled during drilling operations, and (b) name others as additional insureds under such insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered by insurance could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Competition. Many companies and individuals are engaged in the oil and gas business. Inland is faced with strong competition from major oil and gas companies and other independent operators attempting to acquire prospective oil and gas leases, producing oil and gas properties and other mineral interests. Some competitors are very large, well-established companies with substantial capabilities and long earnings records. Inland may be at a disadvantage in acquiring oil and gas prospects since it must compete with individuals and companies which have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs than Inland. With respect to Black Wax production, additional competitive pressures result from the inelasticity in the demand for Black Wax after the refining capacity in the Salt Lake City area is reached. 9 11 DISCONTINUED REFINING OPERATIONS General. As noted above under "Recent Developments -- Sale of Refinery Operations," Inland sold its refinery operations effective as of January 31, 2000 by selling all of its stock in Refining to Silver Eagle. The Company's refining operations were conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Refining, at the Woods Cross Refinery, a hydroskimming plant with an overall crude capacity of approximately 10,000 BPD. The financial statements included with this Annual Report reflect all necessary adjustments to record Refining at net realizable value as of December 31, 1999, and the financial statements for prior periods have been restated to remove the separate segment information for the refining operations and to reflect the refining operations as discontinued operations. Consequently, separate segment information, and a separate discussion of refinery operations, is not included in this Annual Report. Environmental Regulations Associated with Discontinued Refining Operations. As of December 31, 2000, the Company was not aware of any remaining liabilities associated with any of its previously held refining properties. There remains, however, the possibility that federal, state, or local governmental agencies, or private parties, could attempt to join the Company in clean-up efforts associated with previously held refining properties should they be required. EMPLOYEES At March 15, 2001, the Company had 96 employees, consisting of four executive officers, 17 technical, clerical and administrative employees and 75 field operations staff involved in the Company's oil and gas operations in Utah. OTHER PROPERTY The Company's principal executive office is located in Denver, Colorado. The Company leases approximately 16,500 square feet pursuant to a lease which expires in December 2002 and provides for a rental rate of $25,000 per month.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report and the information set forth under the heading "Selected Financial Data" and is intended to assist in the understanding of the Company's financial position and results of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. GENERAL Inland is a diversified and independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, development and enhancement of oil and gas properties in the western United States. All of the Company's oil and gas reserves are located in the Monument Butte Field (the "Field") within the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah. On January 31, 2000, the Company sold its 100% owned subsidiary, Inland Refining, Inc. The subsidiary owned the Woods Cross Refinery and a nonoperating refinery located in Roosevelt, Utah. The Woods Cross refinery was originally purchased on December 31, 1997 for $22.9 million and the Roosevelt refinery was originally purchased on September 16, 1998 for $2.25 million. Due to this sale, the Company is no longer involved in the refining of crude oil or the sale of refined products. As a result, all refining operations have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 Oil and Gas Sales. Crude oil and natural gas revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased $12.1 million, or 74% from the previous year. As shown in the table below, the variance was caused by higher average crude oil and natural gas prices offset by lower sales volumes. The Company operates and is in control of over 99% of its oil and gas production. Crude oil sales as a percentage of total oil and gas sales were 83% and 79% during 2000 and 1999, respectively. Crude oil will continue to be the predominant product produced from the Field. 14 16 The Company has entered into price protection agreements to hedge against volatility in crude oil prices. Although hedging activities do not affect the Company's actual sales price for crude oil in the Field, the financial impact of hedging transactions is reported as an adjustment to crude oil revenue in the period in which the related oil is sold. Crude oil sales were decreased by $6.1 million and $4.9 million during year 2000 and 1999, respectively, to recognize hedging contract settlement losses. See Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." Year Ended December 31, 2000 Year Ended December 31, 1999 ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ Net Volume Average Sales Net Volume Average Sales (Bbls or Mcfs) Price (in 000's) (Bbls or Mcfs) Price (in 000's) -------------- ------- ---------- -------------- ------- ---------- Crude Oil Sales 1,071,752 $26.71 $ 28,627 1,165,117 $14.38 $ 16,754 Natural Gas Sales 2,289,059 $ 2.60 5,953 2,900,501 $ 1.56 4,517 Hedging Loss (6,083) (4,872) -------- -------- Total Revenue $ 28,497 $ 16,399 ======== ======== Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased $436,000, or 6.1% from the previous year. Lease operating expense per BOE increased from $4.34 per BOE sold in 1999 to $5.23 in 2000. The increase on a BOE basis is due to the lower volume produced and general price increases throughout year 2000. Production Taxes. Production taxes as a percentage of sales were 1.4% in 2000 and 1.0% in 1999. Production tax expense consists of estimates of the Company's yearly effective tax rate for Utah state severance tax and production ad valorem tax. Changes in sales prices, tax rates, tax exemptions and the timing, location and results of drilling activities can all affect the Company's actual effective tax rate. Exploration. Exploration expense in 2000 and 1999 represents the Company's cost to retain unproved acreage. Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization. Depletion, depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2000 decreased 21%, or $2.1 million, from the previous year. The decrease resulted from decreased sales volumes and a lower average depletion rate. Depletion, which is based on the units-of-production method, comprises the majority of the total charge. The depletion rate is a function of capitalized costs and related underlying proved reserves in the periods presented. The Company's average depletion rate was $4.95 per BOE sold during 2000 compared to $5.59 per BOE sold during 1999. Based on December 31, 2000 proved reserves, the Company's depletion rate entering 2001 is $5.12 per BOE. General and Administrative, Net. General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 decreased $1.0 million, or 32% from the previous year. The 2000 amount includes $430,000 related to an unsuccessful business combination and employee severance costs. The 1999 amount includes $1.2 million related to the Company's financial restructuring. After removal of these costs, general and administrative expense was 12% lower between periods. General and administrative expense is reported net of operator fees and reimbursements which were $5.5 million and $4.7 million during 2000 and 1999, respectively. Gross general and administrative expense was $7.2 million (net of one-time costs) in 2000 and $6.6 million (net of restructuring costs) in 1999. The increase in reimbursements and expense is a function of operated field activity; which decreased in 1999 when the Company suspended development activity until the fourth quarter, then increased in year 2000 when the Company was active with development activities throughout the year. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 decreased $7.7 million, or 48% from the previous year. The decrease was the result of the financial restructuring performed in September 1999 when approximately $80.0 million of debt was converted to preferred stock. Borrowings during 2000 and 1999 were recorded at effective interest rates of 10.2% and 10.6%, respectively. Other Income. Other income in 2000 and 1999 primarily represents interest earned on the investment of surplus cash balances. Income Taxes. In 2000 and 1999, no income tax provision or benefit was recognized due to net operating losses incurred and the establishment of a full valuation allowance. 15 17 Discontinued Operations. During 1999, the Company operated the Woods Cross Refinery and incurred an operating loss of $1.8 million. On January 31, 2000, the refinery along with certain other assets were sold to Silver Eagle. Although the margins obtained for refined product sales in the Salt Lake City region were strong for most of the year, the Company suffered from inefficient operations since it was unable to secure sufficient quantities of feedstock due to its financial condition. After the Company's financial restructuring in September 1999, increasing crude oil costs reduced margins on refined product sales to unacceptable levels. These circumstances combined with the availability of alternative buyers for the Company's crude oil caused the Company to discontinue refinery operations in December 1999 and subsequently sell Refining on January 31, 2000. As a result of this activity, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the current period and all prior periods have been adjusted to report refining operations as discontinued operations. The Company recorded a charge of $14.5 million in 1999 to record the disposal of the refining business segment. The Company recorded an additional loss of $250,000 during 2000 to reflect adjustments to the refinery shut-down accruals. Extraordinary Item. Effective September 21, 1999, the Company restructured an existing obligation to TCW and amended the terms of its farmout arrangement with Smith Energy Partnership. As a result of these transactions, unamortized debt issue costs of $556,000 were written off as an extraordinary loss. Accrued Preferred Series C Stock Dividends. Inland's Preferred Series C Stock was exchanged for Common Stock and Preferred Series E Stock as part of the financial restructuring transaction on September 21, 1999. Prior to that time, the Preferred Series C Stock accrued dividends at 10% compounded quarterly. The amount accrued represents those dividends earned during 1999. Accrued Preferred Series D Stock Dividends. Inland's Preferred Series D Stock accrues dividends at 11.25% compounded quarterly. The amount accrued represents those dividends earned during 2000 and the fourth quarter of 1999, respectively. Accrued Preferred Series E Stock Dividends. Inland's Preferred Series E Stock accrues dividends at 11.5% compounded quarterly. The amount accrued represents those dividends earned during 2000 and the fourth quarter of 1999, respectively. Accretion of Preferred Series D Stock Discount. Inland's Preferred Series D Stock was initially recorded on the financial statements at a discount of $20.2 million and is being accreted to face value ($80.7 million) over the minimum mandatory redemption period which starts on April 1, 2002 and ends on April 1, 2004. Accretion of Preferred Series E Stock Discount. Inland's Preferred Series E Stock was initially recorded on the financial statements at a discount of $4.2 million and is being accreted to face value ($12.2 million) over the period to the minimum mandatory redemption date of April 1, 2004. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 Oil and Gas Sales. Crude oil and natural gas revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 decreased $4.9 million, or 23% from the previous year. Prior to considering hedging losses of $4.9 million in 1999, the Company's oil and gas revenues were flat between years. The lack of change in oil and gas revenues was a function of increased crude oil sales prices offset by sales volume decreases. Sales volumes decreased 18% from 2.0 MBOE in 1998 to 1.65 MBOE in 1999 due to normal production decline. The Company's production decline leveled out by year end 1999 due to the drilling of eight wells during the fourth quarter of 1999. Crude oil sales as a percentage of total oil and gas sales were 79% and 72% in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Crude oil will continue to be the predominant product produced from the Field. Inland has entered into price protection agreements to hedge against the volatility in crude oil prices. Although hedging activities do not affect Inland's actual sales price for crude oil in the Field, the financial impact of hedging transactions is reported as an adjustment to crude oil revenue in the period in which the related oil is sold. Crude oil sales were decreased by $4.9 million in 1999 and increased by $550,000 during 1998 to recognize hedging contract settlement gains and losses and contract purchase cost amortization. See Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." 16 18 Year Ended December 31, 1999 Year Ended December 31, 1998 ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ Net Volume Average Sales Net Volume Average Sales (Bbls or Mcfs) Price (in 000's) (Bbls or Mcfs) Price (in 000's) -------------- ------- ---------- -------------- ------- ---------- Crude Oil Sales 1,165,117 $14.38 $ 16,754 1,501,379 $9.82 $ 14,754 Natural Gas Sales 2,900,501 $ 1.56 4,517 3,006,169 $2.00 5,974 Hedging Income (Loss) (4,872) 550 -------- -------- Total Revenue $ 16,399 $ 21,278 ======== ======== Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expense for the year ended December 31, 1999 decreased $1.2 million, or 14% from the previous year. Lease operating expense per BOE increased from $4.18 per BOE sold in 1998 to $4.34 in 1999. The increase on a BOE basis is due to the lower volume produced, offset by cost reductions during 1999. Production Taxes. Production taxes as a percentage of sales were 1.0% in 1999 and 2.2% in 1998. Production tax expense consists of estimates of the Company's yearly effective tax rate for Utah state severance tax and production ad valorem tax. Changes in sales prices, tax rates, tax exemptions and the timing, location and results of drilling activities can all affect the Company's actual effective tax rate. Exploration. Exploration expense in 1999 and 1998 represents the Company's cost to retain unproved acreage. Impairment. Impairment reflects the adjustment in carrying value to write down a note receivable and certain undeveloped acreage to their estimated net realizable value at December 31, 1998. Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization. Depletion, depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 1999 decreased 18%, or $2.1 million, from the previous year. The decrease resulted from decreased sales volumes and a slightly lower average depletion rate. Depletion, which is based on the units-of-production method, comprises the majority of the total charge. The depletion rate is a function of capitalized costs and related underlying proved reserves in the periods presented. The Company's average depletion rate was $5.59 per BOE sold during 1999 compared to $5.70 per BOE sold during 1998. General and Administrative, Net. General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased $1.1 million, or 52% from the previous year. The 1999 amount includes $1.2 million related to the Company's financial restructuring. After removal of the restructuring costs, general and administrative expense was slightly lower between periods. General and administrative expense is reported net of operator fees and reimbursements which were $4.7 million and $5.7 million during 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gross general and administrative expense was $6.6 million (net of restructuring costs) in 1999 and $7.8 million in 1998. The decrease in reimbursements and expense is a function of the level of operated field activity, which decreased when the Company temporarily terminated development activity from late 1998 to late 1999. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased $1.1 million, or 7.3% from the previous year. The increase resulted from an increase in the average amount of borrowings outstanding during the year and immediately prior to the financial restructuring performed in September 1999. Borrowings during 1999 and 1998 were recorded at an effective interest rate of approximately 10.6%. Other Income. Other income in 1999 and 1998 primarily represents interest earned on the investment of surplus cash balances. Income Taxes. In 1999 and 1998, no income tax provision or benefit was recognized due to net operating losses incurred and the establishment of a full valuation allowance. Discontinued Operations. During 1999, the Company operated the Woods Cross Refinery and incurred an operating loss of $1.8 million. Although the margins obtained for refined product sales in the Salt Lake City region were strong for most of the year, the Company suffered from inefficient operations since it was unable to secure sufficient quantities of feedstock due to its financial condition. After the Company's financial restructuring in September 1999, increasing crude oil costs reduced margins on refined product sales to unacceptable levels. These circumstances combined with the availability of alternative buyers for the Company's crude oil caused the Company to discontinue 17 19 refinery operations in December 1999. The refinery was subsequently sold along with a nonoperating refinery in Roosevelt, Utah on January 31, 2000. As a result of this activity, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the current period and all prior periods have been adjusted to report refining operations as discontinued operations. The Company recorded a charge of $14.5 million in 1999 to record the disposal of the refining business segment. Extraordinary Item. Effective September 21, 1999, the Company restructured an existing obligation to TCW and amended the terms of its farmout arrangement with Smith Energy Partnership. As a result of these transactions, unamortized debt issue costs of $556,000 were written off as an extraordinary loss. Accrued Preferred Series C Stock Dividends. Inland's Preferred Series C Stock was exchanged for Common Stock and Preferred Series E Stock as part of the financial restructuring transaction on September 21, 1999. Prior to that time, the Preferred Series C Stock accrued dividends at 10% compounded quarterly. The amount accrued represents those dividends earned during 1999 or 1998, respectively. Accrued Preferred Series D Stock Dividends. Inland's Preferred Series D Stock accrues dividends at 11.25% compounded quarterly. The amount accrued represents those dividends earned during the fourth quarter of 1999. Accrued Preferred Series E Stock Dividends. Inland's Preferred Series E Stock accrues dividends at 11.5% compounded quarterly. The amount accrued represents those dividends earned during the fourth quarter of 1999. Accretion of Preferred Series D Stock Discount. Inland's Preferred Series D Stock was initially recorded on the financial statements at a discount of $20.2 million and is being accreted to face value ($80.7 million) over the minimum mandatory redemption period which starts on April 1, 2002 and ends on April 1, 2004. Accretion of Preferred Series E Stock Discount. Inland's Preferred Series E Stock was initially recorded on the financial statements at a discount of $4.2 million and is being accreted to face value ($12.2 million) over the period to the minimum mandatory redemption date of April 1, 2004. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FORTIS CREDIT AGREEMENT Effective September 21, 1999, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Fortis Credit Agreement") the current members of which are Fortis Capital Corp. and U.S. Bank National Association (the "Senior Lenders"). At December 31, 2000, the Company had advanced all funds under its current borrowing base of $83.5 million. The borrowing base is calculated as the collateral value of proved reserves and is subject to redetermination on April 1, 2001. If the borrowing base is lower than the outstanding principal balance then drawn, the Company must immediately pay the difference. All borrowings under the Fortis Credit Agreement are due on April 1, 2002, or potentially earlier if the borrowing base is determined to be insufficient. In addition, the Company's Series D Preferred Stock must be redeemed equally over three years beginning upon the earlier of September 21, 2004 or the repayment in full of the Company's existing senior credit facility, which by its terms is April 1, 2002. The Company does not expect to generate sufficient cash from operations before April 1, 2002 to satisfy these commitments. As a result, the Company is developing a plan to address this issue which may include (1) renegotiating its existing Fortis Credit Agreement to provide for repayment terms beyond April 1, 2002 (2) entering into a new senior credit facility with repayment terms beyond April 1, 2002 (3) issuing subordinated debt of the Company (4) selling equity of the Company (5) selling assets of the Company. Although management cannot give assurance, they believe the Company will be successful in obtaining modifications to existing agreements or raising the necessary capital from other sources in the time frames required. Interest accrues under the Fortis Credit Agreement, at the Company's option, at either (i) 2% above the prime rate or (ii) 3% above the LIBOR rate. As of March 15, 2001, all amounts were borrowed under the LIBOR option at an effective interest rate of 8.04% through August 27, 2001. The Fortis Credit Agreement also contains a provision that the LIBOR rate margin will increase to 3.5% at September 30, 2001 and 4.0% at December 31, 2001 if the Company has not raised $10.0 million of additional equity. The Fortis Credit Agreement has covenants that restrict the payment of cash dividends, borrowings, sale of assets, loans to others, investment and merger activity and hedging 18 20 contracts without the prior consent of the lenders and requires the Company to maintain certain net worth, interest coverage and working capital ratios. The Fortis Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien on substantially all assets of the Company. CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL PROJECTS During the year 2000, the Company borrowed $4.6 million under the Fortis Credit Agreement and generated $18.2 million of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of which it used $14.1 million to continue development of the Field and $8.3 million to service interest on borrowings. Field development in year 2000 consisted of drilling 44 wells and converting 41 wells to water injection along with the continued extension of the gas gathering and water delivery infrastructures. The Company's capital budget for development of the Field in year 2001 is $17.0 million net to the Company. The Company plans to drill 52 wells and convert 50 wells to water injection. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that cash on hand along with future cash to be generated from operations will be sufficient to implement its development plans for the next year. The level of these and other capital expenditures is largely discretionary, and the amount of funds devoted to any particular activity may increase or decrease significantly depending on available opportunities, commodity prices, operating cash flows and development results, among other items. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs" (EITF No. 00-10"), which requires shipping and handling costs to be reflected as an operating expense rather than as a reduction of revenue. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of EITF No. 00-10 in the fourth quarter of 2000. Therefore, transportation costs are included in lease operating expenses for 2000 on the accompanying statement of operations. The Company has assessed the impact of this standard and has determined that the EITF does not have any significant impact on prior periods. Adoption of the provisions of EITF No. 00-10 had no impact on net income. In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133") was issued, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activity. SFAS No. 133 requires recognization of all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measurement of fair value. Changes in the derivative's fair value will be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Gains and losses on derivate hedging instruments must be recorded in either other comprehensive income or current earnings, depending on the nature and designation of the instrument. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 results in recording a liability of $1,927,000 and recording a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as accumulated comprehensive loss in the equity section of $2,086,000 and income recorded as cumulative effect of accounting change to the statement of operations of $159,000. DELISTING OF COMMON STOCK Effective with the close of business July 28, 1999, the Company's Common Stock was delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company was no longer able to satisfy the net tangible asset maintenance standard for continued listing. The Company's Common Stock is now traded on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board under the same symbol "INLN". INFLATION AND CHANGES IN PRICES Inland's revenues and the value of its oil and gas properties have been and will be affected by changes in oil and gas prices. Inland's ability to borrow from traditional lending sources and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent on oil and gas prices. Oil and gas prices are subject to significant seasonal and other fluctuations that are beyond Inland's ability to control or predict. Although the level of inflation affects certain of Inland's costs and expenses, inflation did not have a significant effect on Inland's result of operations during 2000 or 1999. 19 21 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in this report, including statements of the Company's and management's expectation, intentions, plans and beliefs, including those contained in or implied by "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are "forward-looking statements", within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are subject to certain events, risk and uncertainties that may be outside the Company's control. These forward-looking statements include statements of management's plans and objectives for the Company's future operations and statements of future economic performance, information regarding drilling schedules, expected or planned production or transportation capacity, future production levels of fields, marketing of crude oil and natural gas, the Company's capital budget and future capital requirements, credit facilities, the Company's meeting its future capital needs, the Company's realization of its deferred tax assets, the level of future expenditures for environmental costs and the outcome of regulatory and litigation matters, and the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, those described in the context of such forward-looking statements, fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas, the success rate of exploration efforts, timeliness of development activities, risk incident to the drilling and completion for oil and gas wells, future production and development costs, the strength and financial resources of the Company's competitors, the Company's ability to find and retain skilled personnel, climatic conditions, the results of financing efforts, the political and economic climate in which the Company conducts operations and the risk factors described from time to time in the Company's other documents and reports filed with the SEC. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. INTEREST RATE RISK. Inland is exposed to some market risk due to the floating interest rate under the Fortis Credit Agreement. See Item 7. - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources." All borrowings under the Fortis Credit Agreement are due and payable April 1, 2002. As of December 31, 2000, the Fortis Credit Agreement had a principal balance of $83,500,000. At March 1, 2001, the Company locked in the interest rate at 8.04% per annum through August 27, 2001. Assuming the principal is paid according to the terms of the loan, an increase in interest rates could result in an increase in interest expense on the existing principal balance for the remaining term of the loan, as shown by the following chart: Increase in Interest Expense Without Hedge ------------------------------------------ January 1, 2001 January 1, 2002 through through December 31, 2001 April 1, 2002 ----------------- --------------- 1% increase in Interest Rates $278,000 $209,000 2% increase in Interest Rates $556,000 $418,000 COMMODITY RISKS. Inland hedges a portion of its oil production to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the market prices thereof. Inland uses various financial instruments whereby monthly settlements are based on differences between the prices specified in the instruments and the settlement prices of certain futures contracts 20 22 quoted on the NYMEX index. Gains or losses on hedging activities are recognized as oil and gas sales in the period in which the hedged production is sold. Inland has entered into various contracts in the form of swaps or collars to hedge crude oil production during calendar years 2001 and 2002. The potential gains or (losses) on these contracts based on a hypothetical average market price of equivalent product for these periods are as follows: Average NYMEX Per Barrel Market Price for the Contract Period ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $20.00 $22.00 $24.00 $26.00 $28.00 $30.00 $32.00 -------- -------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- All Contracts - 2001 $761,000 $215,000 $(1,190,000) $(2,447,000) $(3,879,000) $(5,379,000) $(6,879,000) All Contracts - 2002 $540,000 $180,000 $ -0- $ (111,000) $ (439,000) $ (799,000) $(1,159,000) ITEM 8.

The Company entered into new employment agreements with Messrs. Pennington and Stevens effective February 1, 2001, pursuant to which the Company and Messrs. Pennington and Stevens mutually agreed to terminate their prior employment agreements and Messrs. Pennington and Stevens agreed to cancel all outstanding options granted to them. Effective February 1, 2001, the Company also entered into an employment agreement with Mr. MacAluso. Pursuant to their employment agreements, dated effective February 1, 2001, the Company agreed to pay Messrs. MacAluso and Pennington base salaries of $250,000 and annual bonuses of up to $50,000 contingent upon the Company reaching or exceeding certain performance targets to be set by the Board for each year. Their employment agreements have an initial term of three years and automatically are extended for additional one year periods unless either party terminates the agreement prior to the end of the current term. The Company also agreed to grant each of them options to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.625 per share and options to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.84 per share, with such options vesting ratably over twelve fiscal quarters, with the first one-twelfth vesting on March 1, 2001. The options for 90,000 shares are also subject to automatic increase upon the issuance of additional shares by the Company in a pro rata amount based on the percentage increase in the number of outstanding shares of the Company. The exercise price for such new options would be the same as the issue price of the new shares issued by the Company. Their new employment agreements also entitle them to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs of the Company. Each agreement also provides that if the employee is permanently disabled during the term of the Agreement, he will continue to be employed at 50% of his base salary until the first to occur of his death, expiration of 12 months, or expiration of the employment agreement. Upon termination of employment by the Company without cause or after a subsequent change of control of the Company, any unvested portion of their options immediately vest. Upon termination of employment by the Company or the employee following a change of control of the Company, the Company agrees to pay the employee an amount equal to the greater of $250,000 or the 25 27 remaining unpaid base salary for the remaining term of the employment agreement and agrees to continue all employee benefits for a period of one year. Additionally, they will be entitled to severance payments in accordance with the Company's severance policy which provide for a severance payment if the employee is terminated due to a change in control in an amount determined based on the number of years of employment, ranging from two weeks' base salary for one years' employment up to six months base salary for employment of five years or more. The Company also agreed to pay various temporary housing, commuting, moving and relocation expenses of Mr. MacAluso in connection with his transfer from Houston, Texas to Denver, Colorado. It is estimated that these expenses will total $20,000. In addition, the Company agreed to purchase the equity in Mr. MacAluso's house in Houston for $141,000 (based on appraised value) and has assumed the financial responsibility for its ultimate sale. Under Mr. Stevens' new employment agreement, he is employed by the Company through May 31, 2001 at a base salary of $43,000 for the term of the agreement. Upon termination of the employment agreement, unless it is terminated for cause, the Company will pay Mr. Stevens $100,000 and he shall be entitled to keep all of his office furniture and computer. If he is terminated without cause prior to May 31, 2001, the Company will also pay him the unpaid portion of his $43,000 base salary. Mr. War's employment agreement was also amended effective November 16, 2000 to eliminate the $75,000 termination payment payable by the Company if his employment was terminated by the Company without cause or following a change in control, and the $75,000 severance payment if he was terminated without cause. Under the amended employment agreement, Mr. War was paid a bonus of $50,000 upon execution of the amendment and will be paid $25,000 on December 31, 2001, or earlier if his employment is terminated prior to such date, unless it is terminated for cause by the Company. Additionally, he will be entitled to six months' base salary ($87,500) pursuant to the Company's severance policy if his employment is terminated following a change in control prior to expiration of the term of his employment agreement. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION The Company has no compensation committee and the full Board of Directors determines the compensation to be paid to executive officers of the Company, subject to approval by TCW Asset Management Company.

Pasmas (collectively, the "Smith Group") entered into a Shareholders Agreement which sets forth certain rights among Holdings, JEDI and the Smith Group relating to transfers of shares and certain voting rights. Under the Shareholders Agreement, Holdings, JEDI and the Smith Group agreed with each other to vote their respective shares to ensure that the Board of Inland would consist of six members and that one member would be designated for election to the Board by the holders of Common Stock and Series Z Preferred Stock. Each of JEDI and Holdings further agreed not to vote their respective shares of Common Stock and Series Z Preferred Stock in the election of such one designated Board member for as long as they owned Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock and the Smith Group continued to hold 10% or more of the combined outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series Z Preferred Stock, provided, that if Holdings does not at such time hold enough Series D Preferred Stock to entitle it to elect four members to the Board, Holdings will be entitled to vote an amount of its Common Stock proportionate to the reduction in number of directors it is entitled to designate as a holder of Series D Preferred Stock. Each member of the Smith Group agreed not to vote their shares of Common Stock for the election of the one board member to be designated for election by the holders of Common Stock and Series Z Preferred Stock as long as it continued to hold 10% or more of the combined outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series Z Preferred Stock. On March 20, 2001, Hampton Investments LLC, an entity related to the Smith Group, purchased the Series E Preferred Stock and Common Stock owned by JEDI and the rights of JEDI under the Shareholders Agreement. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the Exchange Agreement discussed under Items 1 and 2 "Business and Properties - Recent Developments - Change of Control and Recapitalization," the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Agreement") with Holdings, Portfolio, JEDI and the Smith Group pursuant to which the Company granted Holdings, JEDI and the Smith Group piggy-back registration rights to include their shares on any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to standard underwriters' kick-out clauses and other conditions. The Company also granted to Holdings, JEDI and the 28 30 Smith Group demand registration rights which entitle Holdings to require the Company to file up to three registration statements to register its shares, entitle JEDI to require the Company to file up to two registration statements to register its shares and entitle the Smith Group to require the Company to file one registration statement to register its shares. The Company will be responsible for paying the costs and expenses associated with all registration statements, including the fees of one law firm acting as counsel to the holders requesting registration, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and any other expenses of the party requesting registration. Farmout Agreement. The Company entered into a Farmout Agreement with Smith Management LLC ("Smith Management") effective June 1, 1998. As of December 31, 1998, SEP, an affiliate of Smith Management, received 152,220 pre-split (15,222 post-split) shares of Common Stock as payment of proceeds under the Farmout Agreement. Effective November 1, 1998, an Amendment to the Farmout Agreement was executed that suspended future drilling rights under the Farmout Agreement until such time as both the Company, Smith Management and the Company's senior lenders agreed to recommence such rights. In addition, a provision was added that gave Smith Management the option to receive cash rather than Common Stock if the average stock price was calculated at less than $3.00 per share, such cash only to be paid if the Company's senior lenders agreed to such payment. The Farmout Agreement was further amended on September 21, 1999 as part of the Recapitalization to eliminate this option, to provide for cash payments only effective June 1, 1999, and to allow the Company to retain all proceeds under the Farmout Agreement accrued from November 1, 1998 through May 31, 1999. The Farmout Agreement provides that Smith Management will reconvey all drillsites to the Company once Smith Management has recovered from production an amount equal to 100% of its expenditures, including management fees and production taxes, plus an additional sum equal to 18% per annum on such expended sums. Consulting Agreement. The Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Arthur J. Pasmas on September 21, 1999 pursuant to which Mr. Pasmas will receive $200,000 annually for consulting services to be provided to the Company until September 21, 2002.

(a Washington corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Resources Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP Denver, Colorado, March 29, 2001.

F-8 45 INLAND RESOURCES INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2000 1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Business Inland Resources Inc. ("Inland" or the "Company") is an independent energy company with substantially all of its producing oil and gas property interests located in the Monument Butte Field within the Uinta Basin of Northeastern Utah. During the period from December 31, 1997 to January 31, 2000, the Company also operated a crude oil refinery located in Woods Cross, Utah (the "Woods Cross Refinery"). The refinery had a processing capacity of approximately 10,000 barrels per day and tankage capacity of 485,000 barrels. On December 10, 1999, the Company's board of directors voted to sell the Woods Cross Refinery operations and a nonoperating refinery pursuant to a plan of dissolution. The sale of the Woods Cross Refinery and the nonoperating refinery closed on January 31, 2000. Certain current assets were excluded from the sale and were liquidated pursuant to the plan of dissolution in 2000. Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions of continuing operations have been eliminated in consolidation. Reverse Split On December 10, 1999, the Company's shareholders approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock. The effect of the stock split was to lower the authorized common shares from 25,000,000 shares to 2,500,000 shares and reduce outstanding common shares from 23,093,689 shares to 2,309,441 shares. The shareholders further approved an increase in the number of post-split authorized shares from 2,500,000 shares to 25,000,000. Par value remained at $0.001 per common share. All per share disclosures including loss per share and weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding as reported on the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) have been calculated based on post-reverse split share amounts. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements 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. The impact of oil and gas prices has a significant influence on estimates made by management. Changes in oil and gas prices directly effect the economic limits of estimated oil and gas reserves. These economic limits have significant effects upon predicted reserve quantities and valuations. These estimates drive the calculation of depletion, depreciation and amortization for the oil and gas F-9 46 properties and the need for an assessment as to whether an impairment is required. Overall oil and gas pricing estimates factor into estimated future cash flow projections used in assessing impairment for the oil and gas properties. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts due from banks and other investments with original maturities of less than three months. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company regularly has cash in a single financial institution which exceeds depository insurance limits. The Company places such deposits with high credit quality institutions and has not experienced any credit losses. Substantially all of the Company's receivables are within the oil and gas industry, primarily from its oil and gas purchasers and joint interest owners. Although diversified within many companies, collectibility is dependent upon the general economic conditions of the industry. To date, write-offs of uncollectible accounts have been minimal. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, trade payables, accrued liabilities, long-term debt, mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and derivative instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables are considered to be representative of their fair market value, due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the preferred stock is not readily determinable and long-term debt is based on variable rate interest and accordingly, approximates fair value. The fair value of derivative contracts are estimated based on market conditions in effect at the end of each reporting period. Inventories Inventories consist of tubular goods valued at the lower of average cost or market. Materials and supplies inventories are stated at cost and are charged to capital or expense, as appropriate, when used. Accounting for Oil and Gas Operations The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas operations. The use of this method results in the capitalization of those costs associated with the acquisition, exploration and development of properties that produce revenue or are anticipated to produce future revenue. The Company does not capitalize general and administrative expenses directly identifiable with such activities or lease operating expenses associated with secondary recovery startup projects. Costs of unsuccessful exploration efforts are expensed in the period it is determined that such costs are not recoverable through future revenues. Geological and geophysical costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of development wells are capitalized whether productive or nonproductive. Upon the sale of proved properties, the cost and accumulated depletion are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is charged to income. Interest is capitalized during the drilling and completion period of wells and on other major projects. The amount of interest capitalized was $120,000, $0 and $150,000 during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The provision for depletion, depreciation and amortization of developed oil and gas properties is based on the units of production method. This method utilizes proved oil and gas reserves determined using market prices at the end of each reporting period. Dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs are, in management's opinion, offset by residual values of lease and well equipment. As a result, no accrual for such costs is provided. F-10 47 Impairment Review The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which asset carrying value exceeds fair value. A calculation of the aggregate before-tax undiscounted future net revenues is performed for the oil and gas properties. The Company utilizes an estimated price scenario based on its budget and future estimates of oil and gas prices from industry projections and quoted futures prices. The assumptions used at December 31, 2000 were based on an average oil price of $19.07 per barrel and $2.83 per Mcf over the remaining estimated life of the properties. The Company also periodically assesses unproved oil and gas properties for impairment. Impairment represents management's estimate of the decline in realizable value experienced during the period for leases not expected to be utilized by the Company. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally ranging from three to thirty years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized, and the assets replaced, are retired. Environmental Environmental costs are expensed or capitalized based upon their future economic benefit. Costs which are improvements are capitalized. Costs related to environmental remediation and reclamation are expensed. Liabilities for remediation and reclamation costs are accrued when it is determined that an obligation exists and the amount of the costs can be reasonably estimated. Income Taxes The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recorded for differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities at tax rates in effect when the balances are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when the conclusion by Company management is reached that the tax benefits, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Revenue Recognition Sales of crude oil and natural gas are recorded upon delivery to purchasers. Loss Per Share Net loss per share is presented for basic and diluted net loss and, if applicable, for net loss from discontinued operations and extraordinary losses. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the effects of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. As the Company was in a net loss available to common stockholders position for all periods presented, there were no dilutive securities. F-11 48 Comprehensive Income (Loss) In addition to net income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. There are no items of comprehensive loss for any periods presented. Beginning January 2001 with the adoption of SFAS No. 133, the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivative instruments that qualify for cash flow hedges will also be included in comprehensive income (loss). Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs" ("EITF No. 00-10"), which requires shipping and handling costs to be reflected as an operating expense rather than as a reduction of revenue. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of EITF No. 00-10 in the fourth quarter of 2000. Therefore, transportation costs are included in lease operating expenses for 2000 on the accompanying statement of operations. The Company has assessed the impact of this standard and has determined that the EITF does not have any significant impact on prior periods. Adoption of the provisions of EITF No. 00-10 had no impact on net income. Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. 2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Periodically, the Company enters into commodity contracts to hedge or otherwise reduce the impact of oil price fluctuations. The amortized cost and the monthly settlement gain or loss are reported as adjustments to revenue in the period in which the related oil is sold. Hedging activities do not affect the actual sales price for the Company's crude oil. The Company is subject to the creditworthiness of its counterparties since the contracts are not collateralized. The Company has not incurred any significant losses nor does the Company expect any to occur. In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133") was issued, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activity. SFAS No. 133 requires recognition of all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measurement of fair value. Changes in the derivative's fair value will be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Gains and losses on derivative hedging instruments must be recorded in either other comprehensive income or current earnings, depending on the nature and designation of the instrument. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 results in recording a liability of $1,927,000 and recording a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as accumulated comprehensive loss in the equity section of $2,086,000 and to income recorded as cumulative effect of accounting change to the statement of operations of $159,000. Crude Oil Hedging Activities The Company has various contracts that hedge crude oil production structured as cost free collars whereby if the average monthly price, based on NYMEX Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contracts, is between a floor and a ceiling, no payment is exchanged between the parties. All contracts are with Enron Capital and Trade Resources Corp ("Enron"). The Company has hedged 750,000 barrels of its projected year 2001 oil production (approximately 60,000 barrels per month) under various collars with floors ranging from $19.00 to $24.00 per barrel and ceilings ranging from $20.80 to $26.75 per barrel. The Company has hedged 180,000 barrels of its projected year 2002 oil production (60,000 barrels per month for January through March) under various collars with floors F-12 49 at $23.00 per barrel and ceilings ranging from $24.77 to $26.35 per barrel. The Company may enter into additional year 2001 and 2002 oil hedges depending on market conditions. As of December 31, 2000, the fair value of these contracts is a liability of $1,927,000. During the year 2000, the Company hedged 720,000 barrels of crude oil production under various collars from Enron. The Company recorded a reduction of revenue of $6.1 million under these contracts. During the period April 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999, the Company hedged oil production under two contracts from Enron. The contracts were structured as swaps covering 80,000 barrels per month at an average strike price of $14.28. The Company recorded a reduction to revenue of $4.9 million under these contracts during 1999. During 1998 the Company had various contracts in place consisting of puts, calls and collars. Each of the contracts was completely settled as of December 31, 1998. The effect of all hedging contracts in 1999 resulted in income of $550,000. 3.

RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTION: On September 21, 1999, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Trust Company of the West and affiliated entities ("TCW") and Joint Energy Development Investments II Limited Partnership ("JEDI") pursuant to which TCW agreed to exchange certain indebtedness and warrants to purchase Common Stock, for shares of Common Stock and two new series of Preferred Stock of the Company, and JEDI agreed to exchange 100,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company for shares of Common Stock and a third new series of Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Recapitalization"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, TCW agreed to exchange $75.0 million of subordinated indebtedness plus accrued interest of $5.7 million and warrants to purchase 15,852 shares of Common Stock for the following securities of the Company: (i) 10,757,747 shares of newly designated Series D F-13 50 Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company ("Series D Preferred Stock"), (ii) 5,882,901 shares of newly designated Series Z Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company ("Series Z Preferred Stock") and (iii) 1,164,295 shares of Common Stock. On December 14, 1999, all shares of Series Z Preferred Stock were converted into 588,291 shares of Common Stock. In addition, JEDI agreed to exchange 100,000 shares ($10.0 million par value) of the Company's Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") owned by JEDI, together with $2.2 million of accumulated dividends thereon, for (i) 121,973 shares of newly designated Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company ("Series E Preferred Stock") and (ii) 292,098 shares of Common Stock. On March 20, 2001, Hampton Investments LLC ("Hampton") an affiliate of Smith Management LLC, purchased from JEDI the 121,973 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and 292,098 shares of Common Stock acquired by JEDI in the recapitalization. Following closing of the Exchange Agreement and the purchase by Hampton of JEDI's shares, TCW owns 1,752,586 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 60.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and Hampton owns 292,098 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 10.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") of the Company were amended to designate the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock. The amended Articles provide that the Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class and not as a separate voting group or class, except as mandated by law or as expressly set forth in the Articles. The Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock vote with the Common Stock on a share-for-share basis. Pursuant to the amended Articles, the total number of votes of the combined class of Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2000 is 3,985,704 votes, of which 2,828,361 votes (representing approximately 71% of the total) are owned by TCW, and 304,295 votes (representing approximately 7.6% of the total) are owned by Hampton. Various persons and entities that may be considered related to Hampton on an additional 548,338 shares of Common Stock, so that together with Hampton such persons, entities and Hampton own an aggregate of 840,436 shares of Common Stock and 852,633 votes (representing approximately 21.4% of the total). Under the amended Articles, the Series D Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of $0.16875 per share per quarter (9% annual rate) if paid in cash on a current basis or $0.2109375 per share per quarter (11.25% annual rate compounded quarterly) if accumulated and not paid on a current basis. No dividends may be paid on Common Stock or any other series of preferred stock while there are any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock also has liquidation preference over all other classes and series of stock, in an amount equal to $7.50 per share ($80.7 million). The Series D Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time by the Company (subject to the senior credit facility being repaid) for a redemption price of $7.50 per share and must be redeemed in equal amounts over three years commencing upon the earlier of September 21, 2004 or the repayment in full of the Company's existing senior credit facility which is April 1, 2002. The difference between the book value and the liquidation value of the Series D Preferred Stock at the exchange date ($20.2 million) is being accreted over the minimum redemption period beginning on April 1, 2002, and results in a charge against earnings available for common stockholders. In addition to voting as a class with the Common Stock and Series E Preferred Stock as discussed above, holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, voting as a separate voting group, must approve any modification to the dividend rates, liquidation preferences or other privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock, any merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, any transaction which will result in the holders of voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction owning less than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company after the transaction or the sale or other transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company. Further, a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, voting as a separate voting group, have the right to elect (i) four members of the Board for as long as at least 37.5% of the original shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding; (ii) three members of the Board for as long as at least 25%, but less than 37.5% remain outstanding; (iii) F-14 51 two members of the Board for as long as at least 12.5%, but less than 25% remain outstanding; and (iv) one member of the Board for as long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding even though they are less than 12.5% of the original shares issued. As the number of members that may be elected by holders of Series D Preferred Stock decline, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to elect those members to the Board. Under the amended Articles, the Series E Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of $2.3125 per share per quarter (9.25% annual rate) if paid in cash on a current basis or $2.875 per share per quarter (11.5% annual rate compounded quarterly) if accumulated and not paid on a current basis. No dividends may be paid on Common Stock while there are any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock also has liquidation preference over all other classes and series of stock, except the Series D Preferred Stock, in an amount equal to $100.00 per share ($12.2 million). The Series E Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time by the Company (subject to the senior credit facility being repaid on April 1, 2002 and the Series D Preferred Stock having been redeemed) for a redemption price of $100.00 per share and must be redeemed upon the earlier of September 21, 2006 or the redemption of all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The difference between the book value and the liquidation value of the Series E Preferred Stock at the exchange date ($4.2 million) is being accreted over the minimum redemption period to April 1, 2004, and results in a charge against earnings available for common shareholders. In addition to voting as a class with Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock as discussed above, holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, voting as a separate voting group, must approve any modification to the dividend rates, liquidation preferences or other privileges of the Series E Preferred Stock; any merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity or any transaction which will result in the holders of voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction owning less than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company after the transaction, unless, in either case, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock receive shares with substantially the same rights and preferences as correspond to the Series E Preferred Stock; any merger in which the holders of Common Stock receive consideration in exchange for their Common Stock other than Common Stock of the surviving corporation that is junior to the securities issued to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock; or the sale or other transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company unless, so long as the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, at least 60% of the Series E Preferred Stock is redeemed or the holders of Series E Preferred Stock receive an amount equal to 60% of 10/85ths of the total consideration received by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock in the same form of consideration as that received by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock. Further, a majority of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, voting as a separate voting group, have the right to elect one member of the Board. One of the conditions to closing the Exchange Agreement was that Inland's senior lenders would enter into a restructuring of the senior credit facility acceptable to TCW, JEDI and the Company. As a result, effective as of September 21, 1999, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Fortis Credit Agreement") whose current participants are Fortis Capital Corp. and U.S. Bank National Association (the "Senior Lenders") pursuant to which the Senior Lenders agreed to increase the borrowing base from $73.25 million to $83.5 million, inclusive of a sublimit for letters of credit of $4.0 million. The Company also amended its Farmout Agreement with Smith Energy Partnership ("Smith") in conjunction with the financial restructuring on September 21, 1999. The Farmout Agreement was originally entered into effective June 1, 1998. As of December 31, 1998 Smith had received 15,222 (post reverse split) shares of Common Stock as payment of net proceeds through October 31, 1998 under the Farmout Agreement. Effective November 1, 1998, an Amendment to the Farmout Agreement was executed that suspended future drilling rights under the Farmout Agreement until such time as the Company, Smith and the Company's senior lenders agreed to recommence such rights. In addition, a provision was added that gave Smith the option to receive cash rather than Common Stock if the average F-15 52 stock price was calculated at less than $3.00 (post reverse split) per share, such cash only to be paid if the Company's senior lenders agreed to such payment. The Amendment to the Farmout Agreement on September 21, 1999 eliminated this option and provided for cash payments only effective June 1, 1999. The Amendment also allowed the Company to retain all proceeds under the Farmout Agreement accrued from November 1, 1998 through May 31, 1999. As a result of this Amendment, and the fact that the Company has no further obligations in relation to these properties, the production loan previously recorded by the Company is no longer considered outstanding. As a result, the Company has removed all previously recorded drilling costs, accumulated depletion, debt issue costs, loans and accrued interest as of September 21, 1999 and will no longer record revenue and costs from wells drilled under the Farmout Agreement in its Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The $5.8 million gain recognized upon the removal of previously recorded account balances was charged directly to equity due to the related-party nature of the transaction. The Farmout Agreement continues to provide that Smith will reconvey all drillsites to the Company once Smith has recovered from production an amount equal to 100% of its expenditures, including management fees and production taxes, plus an additional sum equal to 18% per annum on such expended sums. 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: Pursuant to a decision by the Company's Board of Directors on December 10, 1999 to dispose of the Company's refinery operations, 100% of the stock in Inland Refining, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary was sold on January 31, 2000 to Silver Eagle Refining, Inc. ("Silver Eagle"). This subsidiary owned the Woods Cross Refinery and a nonoperating refinery located in Roosevelt, Utah. The Woods Cross refinery was originally purchased on December 31, 1997 for $22.9 million and the Roosevelt refinery was originally purchased on September 16, 1998 for $2.25 million. The sales price was $500,000 together with the assumption by Silver Eagle of refinery assets, liabilities and obligations including all environmental related liabilities. Prior to the sale, the Company transferred the existing inventory, cash, accounts receivable and a note receivable to another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary also agreed to satisfy various accounts payable and accrued liabilities not assumed by Silver Eagle. These asset and liabilities were disposed of during 2000. As a result of this sale, the Company is no longer involved in the refining of crude oil or the sale of refined products. As a result, all refining operations have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. To account for the sale, the Company recorded a loss on sale of discontinued operations of $14.5 million at December 31, 1999. The Company recorded an additional loss of $250,000 to reflect adjustments to the final disposal costs associated with the refinery. In addition, certain prior year amounts were reclassified as discontinued operations, with no net effect on net loss or accumulated deficit as previously reported. Revenue from discontinued operations was $70.3 million and $68.5 million during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The net current assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 1999 consist of $7.9 million of current assets consisting primarily of inventory and accounts receivable, offset by $5.8 million of liabilities, primarily accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

LONG-TERM DEBT (See Note 4): TCW and Fortis Credit Agreements On September 30, 1997, the Company closed separate Credit Agreements with TCW and ING (U.S.) Capital Corporation ("ING"). The TCW Credit Agreement provided the Company with $75.0 million, all of which was funded at closing. The TCW Credit Agreement originally provided for quarterly interest payments only, at a rate of 9.75% per annum, until the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the date on which the ING loan was paid in full. The Company initially granted a warrant to TCW to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $100.00 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments) and later granted TCW a warrant to purchase 5,852 shares of Common Stock at $17.50 (subject to anti-dilution adjustments) for an amendment that deferred certain interest payments during 1999. The Senior Lenders received warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at $17.50 (subject to anti-dilution adjustments) as consideration for entering into the amendment in March 1999. The Company also granted registration rights in connection with such warrants. The TCW Credit Agreement was secured by a second lien on substantially all assets of the Company. As discussed in Note 4, on September 21, 1999, TCW exchanged the outstanding principal balance of $75.0 million, accrued interest of $5.7 million and 15,852 warrants for Preferred Series D Stock and Common Stock of the Company. As discussed in Note 4, on September 21, 1999, the Company entered into the Fortis Credit Agreement with its Senior Lenders as part of the Recapitalization which was further amended on January 31, 2000, March 20, 2000, September 30, 2000, November 14, 2000 and on March 29, 2001. The outstanding principal balance at December 31, 2000 was $83.5 million. All borrowings under the Fortis Credit Agreement are due on April 1, 2002, or potentially earlier if the borrowing base is determined to be insufficient. The borrowing base is calculated as the collateral value of proved reserves and will be redetermined on April 1, 2001 and October 1, 2001 and may be redetermined at the option of the Senior Lenders one additional time. Upon redetermination, if the borrowing base is lower than the outstanding principal balance then drawn, the Company must immediately pay the difference. Interest accrues, at the Company's option, at either (i) 2% above the prime rate or (ii) 3% above the LIBOR rate. The Fortis Credit Agreement also contains a provision that the LIBOR rate margin will increase to 3.5% at September 30, 2001 and to 4.0% at December 31, 2001 if the Company has not raised $10.0 million of additional equity. At December 31, 2000, substantially all amounts were borrowed under the LIBOR option at an effective rate of 8.04% through August 27, 2001. The Fortis Credit Agreement has covenants that restrict the payment of cash dividends, borrowings, sale of assets, loans to others, investment and merger activity and hedging contracts without the prior consent of the lenders and requires the Company F-17 54 to maintain certain net worth, interest coverage and working capital ratios. The Fortis Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien on substantially all assets of the Company. A summary of the Company's long-term debt follows (in thousands): December 31, ----------------- 2000 1999 ------- ------- Fortis Credit Agreement $83,500 $78,915 Other -- 167 ------- ------- Total long-term debt $83,500 $79,082 ======= ======= All amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2000 are due on April 1, 2002. 8. INCOME TAXES: In 2000, 1999 and 1998, no income tax provision or benefit was recognized due to the effect of net operating losses and the recording of a valuation allowance against portions of the deferred tax assets that did not meet the utilization criteria of more likely than not. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. The tax effect of the temporary differences and carryforwards giving rise to the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2000 and 1999 is as follows (in thousands): Deferred December 31, Expense December 31, 2000 (Benefit) 1999 ------------ ---------- ------------ Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 25,691 $ 4,350 $ 21,341 Valuation allowance (16,037) (492) (15,545) -------- -------- -------- Deferred tax assets 9,654 3,858 5,796 -------- -------- -------- Deferred tax liabilities: Depletion, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment (9,654) (3,858) (5,796) -------- -------- -------- Deferred tax liabilities (9,654) (3,858) (5,796) -------- -------- -------- Net deferred tax assets $ -- $ -- $ -- ======== ======== ======== A valuation allowance is to be provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company's ability to realize the benefit of its tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income through profitable operations and expansion of the Company's oil and gas producing properties. The market, capital and environmental risks associated with that growth requirement caused the Company to conclude that a valuation allowance should be provided, except to the extent that the benefit of operating loss carryforwards can be used to offset future reversals of existing F-18 55 deferred tax liabilities. The Company will continue to monitor the need for the valuation allowance that has been provided. Income tax expense for 2000, 1999 and 1998 differed from amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate as follows (in thousands): December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Expected statutory tax expenses at 34% $ 644 $(12,537) $ (7,974) Change in valuation allowance, net (492) 12,514 8,292 Other (152) 23 (318) -------- -------- -------- Net tax expense $ -- $ -- $ -- ======== ======== ======== No state or federal income taxes are payable at December 31, 2000 or 1999, and the Company did not pay any income taxes in 2000, 1999 or 1998. At December 31, 2000, the Company had tax basis net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future regular and alternative taxable income of $68.9 million, that expire from 2001 to 2020. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards are limited under the change of ownership tax rules. 9. CAPITAL STOCK (SEE NOTE 4): Series D and Series E Preferred Stock See Note 4 for a full description of the Series D and Series E rights and preferences. 10. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION (SEE NOTE 4): Cash paid for interest during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $7,857,000, $6,112,000 and $11,629,000, respectively. In 2000, the Company sold surface land to a former officer of the Company for the assumption of a note payable of $167,000, by the former officer, that had previously been recorded on the Company's financial statements. As part of the Smith Farmout restructuring, the following accounts were impacted in 1999: Oil and gas properties $(13,833) Accumulated depletion, depreciation and amortization 2,837 Deferred debt offering costs (233) Smith Farmout loan 15,085 Smith Farmout accrued interest 2,792 Additional paid-in capital (5,837) F-19 56 During 1998, the Company paid interest on the Smith Farmout transaction, as allowed by its terms, by issuing common stock valued at $866,000. 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Lease Commitments The Company leases 16,500 square feet of office space under a noncancellable operating lease. Future payment under this lease is as follows (in thousands): 2001 $300 2002 300 ---- Total $600 ==== Total lease expense during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $300,000, $264,000 and $264,000, respectively. 401(k) Plan The Company provides a voluntary 401(k) employee savings plan which covers all full-time employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Voluntary contributions are made to the 401(k) Plan by participants. In addition, the Company matches 100% of the first 6% of salary contributed by each employee. During the period January 1, 1999 to September 30, 1999, the Company match was reduced to 100% of the first 2% of salary contributed. Matching contributions of $191,000, $104,000 and $206,000 were made by the Company during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Legal Proceedings The Company is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings characterized as normally incidental to the business. Management believes its defenses to any existing litigation will be meritorious and any adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceedings or any amounts which it may be required to pay by reason thereof will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The Company is currently involved in a dispute with a third party relating to gathering fees. The issue has been remanded to arbitration. Management is not able to estimate the outcome of the arbitration as of the filing date. Consulting Agreement The Company entered into a consulting agreement on September 21, 1999 with a former director of the Company that was also an officer of Smith Management pursuant to which this individual will receive $200,000 annually, paid in equal monthly installments for consulting services to be provided to the Company until September 21, 2002. F-20 57 12. STOCK OPTIONS: 1988 Stock Option Plan On August 25, 1988, the Company's Board of Directors adopted an incentive stock option plan (the "1988 Plan") for the benefit of key employees and directors of the Company. A total of 21,280 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 1988 Plan. All options under the 1988 Plan are granted, exercisable and expire 10 years from the date of grant. 1997 Stock Option Plan On April 30, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors adopted an incentive stock option plan (the "1997 Plan") for the benefit of key employees and directors of the Company. Options under the 1997 Plan vest based upon the determination made by the Company's Compensation Committee at the time of grant, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The Company reserved 50,000 shares for grant under the 1997 Plan of which 41,850 options were granted through December 31, 2000 at prices equal to the market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant. All granted options are vested except for 10,000 options which vest on December 31, 2001. There are 8,150 shares available for grant as of December 31, 2000. A summary of option grants, exercises and average prices under both the plans is presented below: Weighted Option Weighted Average Exercise Fair Value Number of Exercise Price of Options Options Price Range Granted --------- -------- ----------------- ---------- Balance, December 31, 1997 22,270 $ 75.80 $ 25.00 - $115.00 Granted 3,000 84.40 84.40 - 84.40 $60.79 ====== Exercised (680) 54.60 25.00 - 68.70 -------- -------- --------------- Balance, December 31, 1998 24,590 76.40 25.00 - 115.00 Granted 30,000 10.00 10.00 - 10.00 $ 8.23 ====== Cancelled (4,474) 39.10 25.00 - 68.70 Expired (1,800) 115.00 115.00 - 115.00 -------- -------- ----------------- Balance, December 31, 1999 48,316 37.20 10.00 - 110.00 Cancelled (26,580) 29.50 10.00 - 110.00 -------- -------- ----------------- Balance, December 31, 2000 21,736 $ 46.88 $ 10.00 - $110.00 ======== ======== ================= Plan options exercisable as of December 31, 2000 11,736 $ 78.30 ======== ======= F-21 58 Non-Plan Grants From time to time the Company grants nonqualified options to purchase common stock to its executive officers. The grants have a vesting period of five years. These grants were made at fair value. The grants' lives are ten years.

In 1999, 33,500 options were cancelled and reissued at market price. These options are being accounted for as a variable option grant based on the market price on July 1, 2000. These options have been marked-to-market with gains and losses recorded in income for each reporting period subsequent to July 1, 2000 to the extent there are increases in the Company's stock price above the market rate value of the stock on July 1, 2000. There was no adjustment made for these options in the F-22 59 year ended December 31, 2000 as the stock price has not exceeded the stock price in effect on July 1, 2000. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, 116,700 Non-Plan options at an exercise price of $9.38 were cancelled and 300,000 new Non-Plan options were granted. The grant price for the new options was $1.63 for 180,000 and $2.84 for 120,000. The new grants' lives are eight years and vest over a three year period. The 300,000 stock options will be treated as a variable stock option grant prospectively from the date of the new option grants. The Company has elected to account for grants of stock options and warrants granted to employees and non-employee directors of the Company under APB Opinion No. 25 and its interpretations. If compensation expense for grants of stock options and warrants had been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss and loss per share ("LPS") would have been the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share data): 2000 1999 1998 -------- --------- -------- Net loss, attributable to common stockholders As reported $(16,544) $ (41,841) $(24,536) Pro forma (16,991) (42,376) (25,978) Basic and Diluted LPS As reported $ (5.71) $ (29.37) $ (29.25) Pro forma (5.86) (29.76) (30.80) The pro forma adjustments are calculated using an estimate of the fair value of each option on the date of grant.

The Company has followed these guidelines which are briefly discussed below. Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying yearend prices and costs to the estimated quantities of oil and gas to be produced. Estimated future income taxes are computed using current statutory income tax rates including consideration for estimated future statutory depletion. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a 10% annual discount factor. The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and, as such, do not necessarily reflect the Company's expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves nor their present worth. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these estimates are the basis for the valuation process. F-24 61 The following summary sets forth the Company's future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves based on the standardized measure prescribed in SFAS No. 69 (in thousands): 2000 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- ----------- Future cash inflows $ 1,633,382 $ 1,127,531 $ 183,642 Future production costs (292,305) (259,022) (88,870) Future development costs (202,071) (189,297) -- Future income tax provision (369,220) (188,630) -- ----------- ----------- ----------- Future net cash flows 769,786 490,582 94,772 Less effect of 10% discount factor (445,360) (292,270) (40,659) ----------- ----------- ----------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 324,426 $ 198,312 $ 54,113 =========== =========== =========== The principal sources of changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (in thousands): 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- Standardized measure, beginning of year $ 198,312 $ 54,113 $ 78,622 Purchase of reserves in place -- -- 76 Sales of reserves in place -- (15,548) -- Sales of oil and gas produced excluding hedging, net of production costs (26,501) (13,919) (11,912) Net change in sales prices and production costs 168,192 123,905 (96,051) Extensions, discoveries and improved recovery, net 12,269 -- 7,910 Revisions of previous quantity estimates 8,667 349,080 (58,104) Change in future development costs (7,396) (111,348) 232,087 Net change in income taxes (66,753) (55,855) 15,200 Accretion of discount 25,417 5,411 9,384 Changes in production rates and other 12,219 (137,527) (123,099) --------- --------- --------- Standardized measure, end of year $ 324,426 $ 198,312 $ 54,113 ========= ========= ========= Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities (Unaudited) The reserve information presented below is based upon reports prepared by the Company's in-house petroleum engineer and reviewed by the independent petroleum engineering firm of Ryder Scott Company. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties. As a result, revisions to previous estimates are expected to occur as additional production data becomes available or economic factors change. F-25 62 Proved oil and gas reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed oil and gas reserves are those expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. The impact of oil and gas prices has a significant impact on the standardized measure. Future increases or decreases in oil or gas prices increase or decrease the value of the standardized measure accordingly. As of December 31, 2000, the Company used prices of $23.78 per Bbl and $7.73 per Mcf which is reflective of the market price at yearend. Prices used by the Company in 1999 were $21.56 per Bbl and $1.83 per Mcf. Presented below is a summary of the changes in estimated proved reserves of the Company, all of which are located in the United States, for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998: 2000 1999 1998 ---------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------ Oil (MBbl) Gas (MMcf) Oil (MBbl) Gas (MMcf) Oil (MBbl) Gas (MMcf) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Proved reserves, beginning of year 47,129 60,935 18,602 18,063 37,135 75,483 Purchase of reserves in place -- -- -- -- 21 14 Sales of reserves in place -- -- (2,487) (3,100) -- -- Extensions and discoveries 660 1,584 -- -- -- -- Improved recoveries 400 200 -- -- 3,145 2,814 Production (1,072) (2,289) (1,165) (2,901) (1,501) (3,006) Revisions of previous estimates 42 5,757 32,179 48,873 (20,198) (57,242) ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Proved reserves, end of year 47,159 66,187 47,129 60,935 18,602 18,063 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Proved developed reserves, end of year 17,531 13,647 16,634 15,476 18,394 18,030 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= 14.
