PRO FORMA NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
On March 9, 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of additional working
interests in six producing wells, 13,062 net acres and gathering system assets
located in the Uinta Basin in Utah for approximately $3,175,000. During May 2004
an unrelated third party exercised its right to purchase 25% of the acquired
properties at the acquisition price, which had the effect of reducing the
purchase price to approximately $2,400,000 and reducing the Company's interest
in the acquisition to 75%.
On September 20, 2004, the Company completed the second and final part of a
disposition of a net profits interest of between 18.75% and 25% in a total of 8
oil and gas wells in the Company's Riverbend exploitation area in Utah (the "Net
Profits Disposition"). The first part of the Disposition was completed on August
20, 2004. The total cash consideration received by the Company for both portions
of this transaction was cash in the amount of $4,314,984. The purchase price for
the Disposition was based on an effective date of November 1, 2003. Under
generally accepted accounting principles, the transaction was recorded based on
the closing dates. Therefore, revenue of $396,338 and lease operating expense of
$69,111 attributable to the interests in the properties sold between the
effective date and the closing date are recognized by the Company. The purchase
price was accordingly reduced by the amount of the revenues and increased by the
amount of the lease operating expenses. In connection with the Disposition, the
Company agreed to pay a 3.25% financing fee to Red Oak Investors for all amounts
invested by Red Oak Investors. At the closing of the Disposition $148,176 was
paid to Red Oak Investors by the Company. The Company is recording these costs
as financing fees and will expense such amounts as future investments are made
by Red Oak Investors. As such, total consideration received was:
Purchase price $4,790,387
Revenue (396,338)
Lease operating expense 69,111
Financing costs (148,176)
-----------
Cash received $4,314,984
==========
Under the agreement, Red Oak Investors are to reimburse the Company for the
costs incurred (excluding leasehold costs, which are the sole responsibility of
the Company) by the Company in the future development of the properties in
proportion to the Red Oak Investors' interest in the properties. Depletion
incurred to date on the property interests sold has been insignificant.
The accompanying unaudited condensed pro forma consolidated statement of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2003 presents the results of operations of the Company
as if both transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. A
condensed pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 has not
been included because the historical balances already reflect both of these
transactions. These statements are not necessarily indicative of future
6
operations or the actual results that would have occurred if the Acquired Asset
and Net Profits Disposition transactions had been consummated at the beginning
of the period indicated. The pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of the
Company.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
information reflects the following adjustments:
(a) To reflect the revenue and expenses related to the Net Profits
Disposition and the Acquired Asset transactions.
(b) To reflect the payment of financing costs associated with the Net
Profits Disposition.
