7 COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1995 and 1994 (Unaudited) (1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Basis of Presentation - In management's opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Comstock Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 1995 and the related results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, are not necessarily an indication of the results expected for the full year. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its proved oil and gas properties for impairment in value on a company-wide basis by comparing the net capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties with the undiscounted future cash flows after income taxes attributable to proved oil and gas properties. Under this policy, no impairment in carrying value has been required during 1995 and 1994. However, in March 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets." Beginning in 1996, this standard requires an assessment of fair value of oil and gas properties to be performed using certain groupings of property costs. Fair value is to be measured by market value, if an active market exists. If the market value is not readily determinable, discounted future net cash flows, after income taxes, are to be used to estimate fair value. The adoption of this standard by the Company will result in an impairment of the carrying value of the Company's oil and gas properties ranging from $15 million to $20 million, primarily related to the Company's Texas Panhandle field properties. Supplementary Information with Respect to the Statements of Cash Flows - The Company paid cash for interest of $3,574,000 and $2,040,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. No cash for income taxes was paid in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. 8 COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The following is a summary of the significant noncash investing and financing activities:
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 1994 -------------- --------------- Common stock issued for director compensation $ 113,000 $ 113,000 Common stock issued for preferred stock dividends $ 1,266,966 $ 522,075 Preferred stock issued for repurchase of volumetric production payment $ - $ 8,000,000
Earnings Per Share - Net income (loss) attributable to common stock represents net income (loss) less preferred stock dividend requirements of $640,535 and $259,575 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively and $1,266,966 and $522,075 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Net income (loss) attributable to common stock per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalent shares include, when applicable, dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. (2) OIL & GAS PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS - On May 15, 1995, the Company closed an acquisition of producing offshore oil and gas properties located in Louisiana State waters in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company acquired interests in 14 oil and gas wells (3.5 net wells) for $8,199,000. The Company's independent petroleum engineers estimate that the interests acquired had proved oil and gas reserves of approximately 1,060,000 barrels of oil and 1,074,000 thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas as of November 1, 1994, the effective date of the acquisition. On July 31, 1995, the Company closed an acquisition of producing oil and gas properties and natural gas gathering systems located in East Texas and North Louisiana for $50.6 million. The Company acquired interests in 319 (188 net) oil and gas wells for $49.1 million. The Company's independent petroleum engineers estimate that the interests acquired by the Company had net proved oil and gas reserves of approximately 888,000 barrels of oil and 108 billion cubic feet of natural gas as of March 1, 1995, the effective date of the acquisition. In addition, the Company acquired the managing general partner interest and a 20.31% limited partner interest in Crosstex Pipeline Partners, Ltd. as well as certain other gas gathering systems primarily located in Harrison County, Texas for $1.5 million. 9 COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (3) LONG-TERM DEBT - On July 31, 1995, the Company's bank credit facility was amended to provide a $100 million revolving credit facility and a one year term loan of $10 million. As of September 30, 1995, the Company had $63,350,050 outstanding under the revolving credit facility which bears interest at the agent bank's prime rate plus 1.5% and is subject to a borrowing base redetermined semiannually by the banks. The borrowing base as of September 30, 1995 for the revolving credit facility was $68,940,000 and reduces by $1,060,000 each month thereafter. The revolving credit facility has a final maturity of October 1, 1998. As of September 30, 1995, the Company had $10 million outstanding under the term loan which bears interest at the agent bank's prime rate plus 4% and is payable in full on July 31, 1996. (4) PREFERRED STOCK - On June 16, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company created a new series of the Company's preferred stock ($10.00 par value) consisting of 1,500,000 shares designated as the Series 1995 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series 1995 Preferred"). On June 19, 1995, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of the Series 1995 Preferred in a private placement for $15 million. The Series 1995 Preferred bears quarterly dividends at the rate of 22.5 cents on each outstanding share (9% per annum of the par value). The Company can elect to pay the dividends in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock. On June 30, 2000 and on each June 30, thereafter, so long as any shares of the Series 1995 Preferred are outstanding, the Company is obligated to redeem 300,000 shares of the Series 1995 Preferred at $10.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The mandatory redemption price may be paid either (i) in cash or (ii) in shares of common stock, at the option of the Company. The holders of the Series 1995 Preferred have the right, at their option, to convert all or any part of such shares into shares of common stock of the Company at any time at the initial conversion price of $5.25 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. The Company has the option to redeem the shares of Series 1995 Preferred after providing the holders of the Series 1995 Preferred a specified rate of return on the initial purchase. (5) SALE OF GAS PROCESSING PLANT - On August 1, 1995, the Company sold its 43.25% interest in the Wharton gas processing plant and gathering system in Wharton County, Texas to an unaffiliated company for approximately $3 million. The Company realized a $2.6 million gain on the sale which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995. 10 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources Financial Position - Total assets at September 30, 1995 were $144.4 million, an increase of $52.8 million over total assets at December 31, 1994 of $91.6 million. The increase relates to the two acquisitions completed in 1995 aggregating $58.8 million. On June 19, 1995, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of a newly issued preferred stock in a private placement for $15 million. The new series of preferred stock bears quarterly dividends at the rate of 22.5 cents on each outstanding share (9% per annum of the par value). Proceeds from the preferred stock sale were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's bank credit facility. As of September 30, 1995, the Company had $63.4 million outstanding under its $100 million revolving bank credit facility. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base redetermined semiannually by the banks. At September 30, 1995, the borrowing base was $68.9 million and reduces by $1,060,000 each month thereafter. The Company also had $10 million outstanding under a one year term loan from the banks which matures on July 31, 1996. At September 30, 1995, the Company had a working capital deficit of $15.3 million. The working capital deficit relates to $7.1 million in current maturities under the Company's bank revolving credit facility as well as a one- year $10 million term loan with the banks. The Company believes that future cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund the required debt service under the revolving credit facility and that the Company will be able to repay the one-year term loan with the proceeds from future issuances of debt or equity securities. In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." Beginning in 1996, this standard requires an assessment of fair value of oil and gas properties to be performed using certain groupings of property costs. Fair value is to be measured by market value, if an active market exists. If the market value is not readily determinable, discounted future net cash flows, after income taxes, are to be used to estimate fair value. The adoption of this standard by the Company will result in an impairment of the carrying value of the Company's oil and gas properties ranging from $15 million to $20 million, primarily related to the Company's Texas Panhandle field properties. Sources and Uses of Capital Resources - During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the primary sources of funds for the Company were proceeds from the preferred stock placement of $15 million, borrowings under the Company's bank credit facility of $58.3 million, proceeds from sales of property of $3 million and cash generated from operating activities of $3 million. Primary uses of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were capital expenditures and acquisitions of $59.7 million and principal payments on debt of $22.1 million. 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) The Company estimates that capital expenditures for the remaining three months of the year will approximate $2.8 million. These capital expenditures relate primarily to drilling eight development wells and the recompletion of 23 existing wells. Funds for these expenditures will be provided by borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. Results of Operations Earnings - The Company reported net income of $2,457,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, before preferred stock dividends of $641,000, as compared to a net loss of $237,000, before preferred stock dividends of $260,000 and an extraordinary loss of $616,000, for the three months ended September 30, 1994. After the preferred stock dividends, net income attributable to common stock per share for the three months ended September 30, 1995 was $.14 per share on weighted average shares of 13 million as compared to a net loss per share of $.04 on weighted average shares of 12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1994. After the extraordinary item, the net loss per share was $.09 for the three months ended September 30, 1994. The Company reported net income of $2,260,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, before preferred stock dividends of $1,267,000, as compared to net income of $474,000, before preferred stock dividends of $522,000 and the extraordinary loss of $616,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
