Our primary business operation is exploration, development, and
production of oil and gas reserves in the offshore Gulf of
Mexico and onshore Gulf Coast areas. All of our assets are
located in these areas and all of our revenues and expenses are
generated in these same regions of the United States.
Long-Term Strategy
Our long-term strategy is to increase our oil and gas reserves
and production while keeping our finding and development costs
and operating costs competitive with our industry peers. We
implement this strategy through drilling exploratory and
development wells from an inventory of available prospects that
we have evaluated for geologic and mechanical risk and future
reserve potential. Our drilling program will contain some high
risk/high reserve potential opportunities as well as some lower
risk/lower reserve potential opportunities, in order to attempt
to deliver a balanced program of reserve and production growth.
Success of this strategy is contingent on various risk factors,
as discussed in our filings with the SEC.
Activities and Operations
We identify prospective oil and gas properties primarily by
using 3-D seismic technology. After acquiring an interest in a
prospective property, we drill one or more exploratory wells. If
the exploratory wells find commercial oil and/or gas, we
complete the wells and begin producing the oil or gas. Because
most of our operations are located in the offshore Gulf of
Mexico, we must install facilities such as offshore platforms
and gathering pipelines in order to produce the oil and gas and
deliver it to the marketplace. Certain properties require
additional drilling to fully develop the oil and gas reserves
and maximize the production from a particular discovery. In
order to increase our oil and gas reserves and production, we
continually reinvest our net operating cash flow into new or
existing exploration, development, and acquisition activities.
2
We share ownership in our oil and gas properties with various
industry participants. We currently operate the majority of our
offshore properties. An operator is generally able to maintain a
greater degree of control over the timing and amount of capital
expenditures than can a non-operating interest owner.
Risks Involved in Exploration, Development, and Production
Exploration, development, and production operations can be
risky. These risks fall into two broad categories. First there
is the risk that each time we drill a well, the well will not
find oil or gas reserves. Even if a well does find reserves, it
is possible that the well will not produce enough oil or gas to
return a profit on the amount invested in the well. We try to
mitigate these exploration and drilling risks by using 3-D
seismic data and other applied technology to identify and define
the parameters prior to drilling, although this does not
guarantee successful results. Much of our success depends upon
the quality of the information used to determine drilling
locations and the abilities and experience of our management,
technical, and service personnel.
Second is the broad category of operating risks. Operating risks
include mechanical failure, title risk, blowouts, environmental
pollution, and personal injury. We maintain both general
liability insurance and activity specific insurance against
major production losses, blowouts, redrilling, and many other
operating hazards, including certain pollution risks. Uninsured
losses or losses and liabilities that exceed the limits of our
insurance could adversely affect our financial condition.
Competition in the Oil and Gas Industry
|
|
|
We compete with:
|
|
We compete for: |
Large integrated oil and gas companies
|
|
Operational, technical, and support staff |
Independent exploration and production companies
|
|
Options and/or leases on properties |
Private individuals
|
|
Markets for the sale of oil and gas production |
Sponsored drilling programs
|
|
Access to capital |
Many of our competitors may have significantly more financial,
personnel, technological, and other resources available. In
addition, some of the larger integrated companies may be better
able to respond to industry changes including price
fluctuations, oil and gas demands, and governmental regulations.
Markets for Oil and Gas Production
Oil and gas are generally homogenous commodities, and the market
prices for these commodities fluctuate significantly. Purchasers
adjust prices for quality, refined product yield, geographic
proximity to refineries or major market centers, and the
availability of transportation pipelines or facilities. Outside
factors beyond our control combine to influence the market
prices. Some of the more critical factors that affect oil and
gas commodity prices include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in supply and demand |
|
|
|
Changes in refinery utilization |
|
|
|
Levels of economic activity throughout the country |
|
|
|
Seasonal or extraordinary weather patterns |
|
|
|
Political developments throughout the world |
We have no real ability to influence or predict the market
prices. Therefore, we normally sell our oil and gas production
based on posted market prices, spot market indices, or prices
derived from the posted price or index. At times we will lock in
a fixed price for a portion of our future production to be
delivered as it is produced. We use an independent company to
market almost all of our offshore gas production and a portion
3
of our offshore oil production. Because oil and gas are
homogenous commodities and other customers and marketers are
readily available, we believe that the loss of any of our
current customers or our independent marketing company would not
be detrimental to our operations nor have a material effect on
our revenues.
Securities Regulation and Corporate Governance
We are a publicly traded company with our common stock listed
for trading on The New York Stock Exchange. Because our
securities are traded in the public markets, we are subject to
regulation by governmental and private organizations such as the
SEC and The New York Stock Exchange. This regulatory oversight
imposes on us the responsibility for establishing and
maintaining disclosure controls and procedures. The objective of
those controls and procedures is to ensure that material
information relating to us is made known to our management and
that the financial statements and other information included in
this Form 10-K and other reports and documents filed with
the SEC do not contain any untrue statement of material fact, or
omit to state a material fact, necessary to make the statements
made in this Form 10-K and those other reports and
documents not misleading. Our compliance with the increasing
scope of regulation has significantly increased our audit and
internal control costs.
Seven members serve on our Board of Directors. Five of these
members are independent outside directors while the other two
are our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating Officer.
We have a lead independent director whose responsibilities are
set forth in our corporate governance documents. The Board has
established four standing committees: Audit, Compensation,
Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Executive. The members
of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committees are all independent directors. Two of the
three members of the Executive Committee are independent
directors. Each standing committee is governed by its own
charter.
Governmental Regulation, Including Environmental Regulation,
of Oil and Gas Operations
Numerous federal and state regulations affect our oil and gas
operations. Current regulations are constantly reviewed by the
various agencies at the same time that new regulations are being
considered and implemented. In addition, because we hold federal
leases, the federal government requires us to comply with
numerous regulations that focus on government contractors. The
regulatory burden upon the oil and gas industry increases the
cost of doing business and consequently affects our
profitability.
State regulations relate to virtually all aspects of the oil and
gas business including drilling permits, bonds, and operation
reports. In addition, many states have regulations relating to
pooling of oil and gas properties, maximum rates of production,
and spacing and plugging and abandonment of wells.
Our oil and gas operations are subject to stringent federal,
state, and local environmental laws and regulations.
Environmental laws and regulations are complex, change
frequently, and have tended to become more restrictive over
time. Many environmental laws require permits from governmental
authorities before construction on a project may be commenced or
before wastes or other materials may be discharged into the
environment. The process for obtaining necessary permits can be
lengthy and complex, and can sometimes result in the
establishment of permit conditions that make the project or
activity for which the permit was sought either unprofitable or
otherwise unattractive. Even where permits are not required,
compliance with environmental laws and regulations can require
significant capital and operating expenditures, and we may be
required to incur costs to remediate contamination from past
releases of wastes into the environment. Failure to comply with
these statutes, rules and regulations may result in the
assessment of administrative, civil and even criminal penalties.
The most significant environmental obligations applicable to our
operations relate to compliance with the federal Oil Pollution
Act and the Clean Water Act. The Oil Pollution Act and its
implementing regulations (OPA) establish
requirements for the prevention of oil spills and impose
liability for damages resulting from spills into waters of the
United States. The OPA also requires that operators of offshore
oil production facilities, such as our facilities in the Gulf of
Mexico, demonstrate to the U.S. Minerals Management Service
that they possess at least $35.0 million in financial
resources available to pay for costs that may be incurred in
responding to an oil spill. The Clean Water Act and its
implementing regulations impose restrictions and strict controls
on the discharge of wastes into the waters of the United States,
4
including discharges of oil, produced water and sand, drilling
fluids, drill cuttings, and other wastes typically generated by
the oil and gas industry. Although we believe that we are in
compliance with the requirements of the OPA and Clean Water Act,
as well as the other statutes and associated regulations
governing the discharge of materials into the environment, the
cost of compliance with this federal and state legislation could
have a significant impact on our financial ability to carry out
our oil and gas operations.
Our operations are also subject to environmental laws and
regulations that impose requirements for remediation of soil and
groundwater contamination. In many cases, these laws apply
retroactively to previous waste disposal practices regardless of
fault, legality of the original activities, or ownership or
control of sites. A company could be subject to severe fines and
cleanup costs if found liable under these laws. We have never
been a liable party under these laws nor have we been named a
potentially responsible party for waste disposal at any site.
However, we do own and operate onshore properties that were
previously owned and operated by companies whose waste disposal
practices, while legal and standard within the industry at the
time they occurred, may have resulted in on-site contamination
that may require remedial action under current standards. There
can be no assurance that we will not be required to undertake
remedial actions for such instances of contamination in
connection with our ownership and operation of these properties,
or that the costs associated with such remedial actions will be
fully covered by insurance.
Other Business Information
Except for our oil and gas leases with third parties and
licenses to acquire or use seismic data, we have no material
patents, licenses, franchises, or concessions that we consider
significant to our oil and gas operations. We do not have any
backlog of products, customer orders, or inventory.
We have not been a party to any bankruptcy, reorganization,
adjustment or similar proceeding except in the capacity as a
creditor.
We concentrate our principal operations in the federal waters of
the Gulf of Mexico and its coastal regions. In addition to the
information below, we encourage you to read the discussion in
Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and our
consolidated financial statements and the notes to our
consolidated financial statements in Item 8,

Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
Net proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2004, as
audited by independent reserve engineers, Netherland,
Sewell & Associates, Inc., are summarized below. The
quantities of proved oil and gas reserves discussed in this
section include only the amounts which we reasonably expect to
recover in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under
the current economic and operating conditions. Proved reserves
include only quantities that we expect to recover commercially
using current prices, costs, existing regulatory practices, and
technology. Therefore, any changes in future prices, costs,
regulations, technology or other unforeseen factors could
materially increase or decrease the proved reserve estimates.

In 2004 our standardized measure of discounted future net cash
flows was $638.8 million. We used the December 31,
2004, West Texas Intermediate posted price of $40.25 per
barrel and a Gulf Coast spot market price of $6.18 per
MMBtu, adjusted by property for energy content, quality,
transportation fees, and regional price differentials. We
estimated the costs based on the prior year costs incurred for
individual properties or similar properties if a particular
property did not produce during the prior year.
The present value of future net cash flows attributable to
estimated net proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum,
(PV10) is a computation of the standardized measure
of discounted future net cash flows on a pre-tax basis. The
table below provides a reconciliation of PV10 to the
standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. PV10
may be considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the
SECs Regulation G. We believe PV10 to be an important
measure for evaluating the relative significance of our natural
gas and oil properties. PV10 is computed on the same basis as
the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows but
without deducting income taxes. We further believe investors and
creditors may utilize our PV10 as a basis for comparison of the
relative size and value of our reserves to other companies.
However, PV10 is not a substitute for the standardized measure.
Our PV10 measure and the standardized measure of discounted
future net cash flows do not purport to present the fair value
of our natural gas and oil reserves.

Our offshore Gulf of Mexico properties account for approximately
83% of our oil production and approximately 98% of our gas
production. In addition, total revenues from offshore Gulf of
Mexico oil and gas production during 2004 accounted for
approximately 94% of our total oil and gas revenues. We owned
varying working interests (5% to 100%) in 144 offshore Gulf of
Mexico blocks at December 31, 2004, and currently produce
from 51 of these blocks. Five additional blocks are currently
under development. We operate a majority of these blocks.
In addition, through our entry into 3-D seismic licensing
agreements with various venders, we have access to 3-D seismic
data covering approximately 4,000 blocks in the Gulf of Mexico.
The duration and coverage of the three most significant
agreements are as follows:

These agreements, combined with our computer technology, provide
our technical team with immediate access to the seismic data
covered by the agreements.
During 2004 we successfully drilled 17 out of
24 exploratory wells and 5 development wells in the
offshore Gulf of Mexico. In addition, we constructed and
installed 7 production platforms and 1 subsea completion,
and associated pipelines.
Our onshore Gulf Coast area properties are principally located
in the State of Mississippi and along the Texas Gulf Coast. In
2004, these properties accounted for approximately 17% of our
oil production and approximately 2% of our gas production. We
drilled a total of 3 wells on our onshore properties during
2004 and completed 2 wells as producers. Our working
interests in these wells range from 15% to 100%.

On March 14, 2005, the last reported sales price for our
common stock was $30.89 per share. On that date, there were
548 stockholders of record.
No dividends have ever been paid on our common stock. Our credit
facility agreement prohibits our paying dividends. The
determination of future cash dividends, if any, will depend
upon, among other things, our financial condition, cash flow
from operating activities, the level of our capital and
exploration expenditure needs, future business prospects, and
renegotiation of our line of credit.
The following table presents information about our equity
compensation plans at December 31, 2004.

The information above regarding equity compensation plans not
approved by the stockholders includes contingent one-time stock
grants made in 1999 to all employees and directors, which
include the following significant attributes:
|
|
|
|
|
Shares awarded based on annual base salary as of June 17,
1999, or in the case of non-employee directors $100,000, divided
by $4.19 (the closing price on June 17, 1999). |
|
|
|
In order for the grants to become effective, our common stock
had to close at or above $10.42 per share for 20
consecutive trading days within 5 years of the grant date
(the trigger event). |
9
|
|
|
|
|
The trigger event was achieved on January 24, 2001. |
|
|
|
686,472 shares were awarded. As of December 31, 2004,
516,243 shares have vested, and 40,847 shares have
been forfeited. Of the remaining 129,382 shares, 64,691
vested on January 17, 2005, and, except as noted below the
remaining 64,691 vest on January 17, 2006. |
|
|
|
Each employee and director must remain an employee or director
during his/her respective vesting schedule in order to receive
the shares, except as noted below. |
|
|
|
The vesting period was modified by the Board on October 8,
2004. The modification provides that vesting of any remaining
award may now occur in the event that a director retires from
the Board or an employee retires from the company prior to
age 65 and the retirement date for the individual is within
18 months of the final vesting date. The approved
modification was deemed not to be a material amendment of the
grant. |
|
|
|
In the event of death or a change of control, an employees
or directors shares will fully vest. In the event of the
long-term disability of an employee, the employee reaching the
retirement age of 65, or the employee retiring within
18 months of the final vesting date, the shares will fully
vest. |

The quantities of proved oil and gas reserves include only the
amounts which we reasonably expect to recover in the future from
known oil and gas reservoirs under the current economic and
operating conditions. Proved reserves include only quantities
that we can commercially recover using current prices, costs,
and existing regulatory practices and technology. We base the
standardized measure of future discounted net cash flows on
year-end prices and costs. Any changes in future prices, costs,
regulations, technology, or other unforeseen factors could
significantly increase or decrease the proved reserve estimates. |

We have not entered into any financial hedges for oil or gas
prices during any of the years presented, therefore, the average

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following discussion will assist you in understanding our
financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. The
information below should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements, and the notes to our
consolidated financial statements. Our discussion contains both
historical and forward-looking information. We assess the risks
and uncertainties about our business, long-term strategy, and
financial condition before we make any forward-looking
statements, but we cannot guarantee that our assessment is
accurate or that our goals and projections can or will be met.
Statements concerning results of future exploration,
exploitation, development, and acquisition expenditures as well
as expense and reserve levels are forward-looking statements. We
make assumptions about commodity prices, drilling results,
production costs, administrative expenses, and interest costs
that we believe are reasonable based on currently available
information.
|
|
|
Critical Estimates and Accounting Policies |
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in this report
using accounting principles that are generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP). GAAP represents a
comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules and
requirements. We must make judgments, estimates, and in certain
circumstances, choices between acceptable GAAP alternatives as
we apply these rules and requirements. The most critical
estimate we make is the engineering estimate of proved oil and
gas reserves. This estimate affects the application of the
successful efforts method of accounting, the calculation of
depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas
properties, and the estimate of the impairment of our oil and
gas properties. It also affects the estimated lives used to
determine asset retirement obligations. In addition, the
estimates of proved oil and gas reserves are the basis for the
related standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.
|
|
|
Estimated Proved Oil and Gas Reserves |
The evaluation of our oil and gas reserves is critical to the
management of our operations and ultimately our economic
success. Decisions such as whether development of a property
should proceed and what technical methods are available for
development are based on an evaluation of reserves. These oil
and gas reserve quantities are also used as the basis for
calculating the unit-of-production rates for depreciation,
depletion and amortization, evaluating impairment and estimating
the life of our producing oil and gas properties in our asset
retirement obligations. Our proved reserves are classified as
either proved developed or proved undeveloped. Proved developed
reserves are those reserves which can be expected to be
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves include reserves
expected to be recovered from new wells from undrilled proven
reservoirs or from existing wells where a significant major
expenditure is required for completion and production. Since a
significant amount of our drilling is ongoing exploration
activity, our oil and gas reserve estimates in our year-end
reports include significant proved undeveloped reserves because
of new discoveries that are waiting for platform or pipeline
facilities to be completed in order for production to commence.
These proved undeveloped reserves are subject to higher
uncertainty because the estimates for the reserves do not
include any production history.
We prepare and independent reserve engineers audit the estimates
of our oil and gas reserves presented in this report based on
guidelines promulgated under GAAP and in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the SEC. The audit of our reserves by
the independent reserve engineers involves their rigorous
examination of our technical evaluation and extrapolations of
well information such as flow rates and reservoir pressure
declines as well as other technical information and
measurements. Our internal reservoir engineers interpret these
data to determine the nature of the reservoir and ultimately the
quantity of proved oil and gas reserves attributable to a
specific property. Our proved reserves in this report include
only quantities that we expect to recover commercially using
current prices, costs, existing regulatory practices and
technology. While we are reasonably certain that the proved
reserves will be produced, the timing and ultimate recovery can
be affected by a number of factors including completion of
development projects, reservoir performance, regulatory
approvals and changes in projections of long-term oil and gas
prices. Revisions can include upward or downward changes in the
previously estimated volumes of proved reserves for existing
fields due to evaluation of (1) already available geologic,
reservoir, or production data or (2) new geologic or
reservoir data obtained
12
from wells. Revisions can also include changes associated with
significant changes in development strategy, oil and gas prices,
or production equipment/facility capacity.

|
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash
Flows |
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
relies on these estimates of oil and gas reserves using
commodity prices and costs at year-end. In our
2004 year-end reserve report we used the December 31,
2004 West Texas Intermediate posted price of $40.25 per barrel
and a Gulf Coast spot market price of $6.18 per MMBtu adjusted
by property for energy content, quality, transportation fees,
and regional price differentials. We estimated the costs based
on the prior year costs incurred for individual properties or
similar properties if a particular property did not have
production during the prior year. Future global economic and
political events will most likely result in significant
fluctuations in future oil prices.
|
|
|
Successful-Efforts Method of Accounting |
Oil and gas exploration and production companies choose one of
two acceptable accounting methods, successful-efforts or full
cost. The most significant difference between the two methods
relates to the accounting treatment of drilling costs for
unsuccessful exploration wells (dry holes) and
exploration costs. Under the successful-efforts method, we
recognize exploration costs and dry hole costs (the primary
uncertainty affecting this method) as expenses when incurred and
capitalize the costs of successful exploration wells as oil and
gas properties. Entities that follow the full cost method
capitalize all drilling and exploration costs including dry hole
costs into one pool of total oil and gas property costs.
It is typical for companies that drill a significant number of
exploration wells, as we do, to incur dry hole costs. During the
last three years we have drilled 73 exploration wells, of which
23 were considered dry holes resulting in a 68% success ratio on
exploratory wells. It is impossible to accurately predict
specific dry holes; however, based on past experience, we
estimate that between 20% and 35% of our exploration wells and
associated exploration drilling costs, will be dry holes.
Because we cannot predict the timing and the magnitude of dry
holes, quarterly and annual net income can vary dramatically.
The calculation of depreciation, depletion and amortization of
capitalized costs under the successful-efforts method of
accounting differs from that calculation under the full cost
method in that the successful-efforts method requires us to
calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on
individual properties rather than on one pool of costs. In
addition, under the successful-efforts method, we assess our oil
and gas properties individually for impairment compared to the
assessment of one pool of costs under the full cost method.
|
|
|
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization of Oil and Gas
Properties |
The application of the unit-of-production method of
depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas
properties under the successful-efforts method of accounting is
applied pursuant to the simple multiplication of units produced
by the costs per unit associated with a property. The cost per
unit is calculated by dividing the total costs associated with a
property by the estimated proved oil and gas reserves on that
property. The volumes or units produced and asset costs are
known, and while the proved reserves have a high probability of
recoverability, they are based on estimates that are subject to
some variability. The factors which create this variability are
included in the discussion of estimated proved oil and gas
reserves above.
|
|
|
Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties |
Like depreciation, depletion and amortization, we test for
impairment of our oil and gas properties based on estimates of
proved reserves. Proved oil and gas properties held and used by
us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We
estimate the future undiscounted net cash flows of the affected
properties to judge the recoverability of the carrying amounts.
Initially this analysis is based on proved reserves. However,
when we believe that a property contains oil and gas reserves
that do not meet the defined parameters of proved reserves, an
appropriately risk adjusted amount of these reserves may be
included in the impairment evaluation. These reserves are
subject to much greater risk of ultimate recovery. An asset
would be impaired if the future undiscounted net cash flows were
13
less than its carrying value. Impairments are measured by the
amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value.
Impairment analysis is performed on an ongoing basis. In
addition to using estimates of oil and gas reserve volumes in
conducting impairment analysis, it is also necessary to estimate
future oil and gas prices. The impairment evaluation triggers
include a significant long-term decrease in current and
projected prices, or reserve volumes, an accumulation of project
costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected,
and historical and current negative operating losses. Although
we evaluate future oil and gas prices as part of the impairment
analysis, we do not view short-term decreases in prices, even if
significant, as impairment triggering events.

3-D Seismic Data License Agreements |
The 3-D seismic agreements we have entered into allow us access
to, but do not give us ownership of, 3-D seismic data. Prior to
the 3-D seismic agreement we entered into in May of 2004, we had
entered into two other significant 3-D seismic licensing
agreements. The agreement entered into in 1998 covered
approximately 1,100 blocks in the Gulf of Mexico and has a
99 year term while the agreement entered into in 2000
covers approximately 1,000 blocks in the Gulf of Mexico and is
for an indefinite term.
Until the third quarter of 2003, our accounting policy was to
capitalize a discounted total of the required payments under the
agreements over an assumed useful life of four years using the
straight line method. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we
completed a review of our accounting policies in relation to the
contracts and determined that as of the fourth quarter 2003, we
would charge exploration expense as invoices are paid. This
change did not have a material effect on our current or prior
financial statements.
In May 2004, we entered into a 3-D seismic licensing agreement
covering an additional approximately 1,200 blocks in deeper
water trends in the Gulf of Mexico. The license has a term of
20 years with an option to renew for an additional
20 years. An initial payment followed by a series of
quarterly invoices through July 2008 is provided for in the
agreement. There are no contingent payments. The license
agreement is an executory contract under which both parties have
certain ongoing rights and obligations. If we wish to continue
using the data, we are required to make the payments as invoiced
and comply with certain confidentiality provisions. The
vendors ongoing obligations include warranty and indemnity
responsibilities as to intellectual property matters. We believe
that the contract provides us with termination rights and
therefore under our accounting policy, we recognize the
liabilities as they become due and payable within the terms of
the contract. In the event of an enforceable finding that we do
not have a right of termination prior to the full contract price
being due and payable, we would re-assess our accounting policy
with respect to this agreement.

Exploratory Drilling Costs |
The costs of drilling an exploratory well are capitalized as
uncompleted wells pending the determination of whether the well
has found proved reserves. If proved reserves are not found,
these capitalized costs are charged to expense. On the other
hand, the determination that proved reserves have been found
results in the continued capitalization of the drilling costs of
the well and its reclassification as a well containing proved
reserves. At times, it may be determined that an exploratory
well may have found hydrocarbons at the time drilling is
completed, but it may not be possible to classify the reserves
at that time. In this case, we continue to capitalize the
drilling costs as an uncompleted well until the earlier to occur
of one year from the date drilling is completed or suspended, or
the reserves are deemed to be proved. At that time the well is
either reclassified as a proved well or is considered impaired
and its costs, net of any salvage value, are charged to expense.
Occasionally, we may choose to salvage a portion of an
unsuccessful exploratory well in order to continue exploratory
drilling in an effort to reach the target geological
structure/formation. In such cases, we charge only the unusable
portion of the well bore to dry hole expense, and we continue to
capitalize the costs associated with the salvageable portion of
the well bore and add the costs to the new exploratory well. In
certain situations, the well bore may be carried for more than
one year beyond the date drilling in the original well bore was
suspended. This may be due to the need to obtain, and/or analyze
the availability of, equipment
14
or crews or other activities necessary to pursue the targeted
reserves or evaluate new or reprocessed seismic and geologic
data. If, after we analyze the new information and conclude that
we will not reuse the well bore or if the new exploratory well
is determined to be unsuccessful after we complete drilling, we
will charge the capitalized costs to dry hole expense.
|
|
|
General and Administrative Expenses |
Our general and administrative expenses are affected by the
method in which we measure and record stock based compensation
expense and, to a lesser extent, assumptions related to our
defined benefit pension plans. We have included a further
discussion of these critical estimates and accounting policies
in the following sections of this item: Long-Term Strategy and
Business Developments, Liquidity and Capital Resources and
Results of Operations. Our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this report also have a more
comprehensive discussion of our significant accounting policies.
Long-Term Strategy and Business Developments
Our long-term strategy is to increase our oil and gas reserves
and production while keeping our finding and development costs
and operating costs (on a per Mcf equivalent (Mcfe) basis)
competitive with our industry peers. We will implement this
strategy through drilling exploratory and development wells from
our inventory of available prospects that we have evaluated for
geologic and mechanical risk and future reserve potential. Our
drilling program will contain some high risk/ high reserve
potential opportunities as well as some lower risk/ lower
reserve potential opportunities, in order to attempt to achieve
a balanced program of reserve and production growth. Success of
this strategy is contingent on various risk factors, as
discussed in our filings with the SEC. Over the last three
years, we have invested $375.4 million in oil and gas
properties and found 163.2 Bcfe of proved reserves. The
following tables reflect our results during the last three years.

Operating costs on a Mcfe produced basis have increased over the
past three years from $0.58 to $0.66 or approximately 14% (or
6.67% per annum). This is the result of rising material and
labor costs experienced during a period of increasing activity
in our sphere of operations.

The implementation of our long-term strategy requires that we
continually incur significant capital expenditures in order to
replace current production and find and develop new oil and gas
reserves. In order to finance our capital and exploration
program, we depend on cash flow from operations or bank debt and
equity offerings as discussed below under Liquidity and Capital
Resources.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow provided by operations for the year ended
December 31, 2004, increased by $35.4 million, or 23%,
compared to the prior year primarily due to a 9.5% increase in
production and an $0.88/ Mcfe, or 16.8% increase in oil and gas
prices. We expect our cash flow provided by operations for 2005
to increase because of higher projected production from new
properties, combined with oil and gas prices consistent with
2004 and steady operating, general and administrative, interest,
and financing costs per Mcfe.
Excluding the effects of significant unforeseen expenses or
other income, our cash flow from operations fluctuates primarily
because of variations in oil and gas production and prices or
changes in working capital accounts. Our oil and gas production
will vary based on actual well performance but may be curtailed
due to factors beyond our control. Hurricanes in the Gulf of
Mexico will shut down our production for the duration of the
storms presence in the Gulf, and may damage our production
facilities so that we cannot produce from a particular property
for an extended amount of time. In addition, downstream
activities on major pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico can also
cause us to shut-in production for various lengths of time, as
was exemplified by pipeline and other infrastructure disruptions
caused by Hurricane Ivan last September.
Our realized oil and gas prices vary significantly due to world
political events, supply and demand of products, production
storage levels, and weather patterns. We sell the vast majority
of our production at spot market prices. Accordingly, product
price volatility will affect our cash flow from operations. To
mitigate price volatility we sometimes lock in prices for some
portion of our production (usually less than 33%) through the
use of forward sale agreements. Currently we have no such
arrangements in place. See additional discussion under Commodity
Price Risk in Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk.
16
Changes in our working capital accounts from 2003 to 2004
include an increase in our accounts receivable (a decrease in
our cash flow provided by operations) due to higher oil and gas
prices, increased production and increased balances due from our
joint interest participants as a result of increased operating
activities (drilling wells and facilities construction) at year
end. Due to the increase in operating activities our accounts
payable balance increased by $11.0 million which increased
our cash flow from operations. Cash flow provided by operations
also decreased due to an increase in prepaid expenses and other
current assets primarily because of an increase in prepaid
drilling and facility costs.
We incurred capital and exploration expenditures totaling
$148.9 million during 2004. The capital expenditures
included $12.4 million for leasehold acquisition,
$81.0 million for exploration costs, $65.1 million for
development costs, including platform and facilities
construction and $4.3 million for asset retirement costs.
During the year we built and installed 2 offshore platforms
and facilities. In addition, in 2004 we drilled
25 exploration wells (24 offshore) and 7 development wells
(5 offshore) and had 1 well in progress at year-end.
We expect to continue to make significant capital expenditures
over the next several years as part of our long-term growth
strategy. We have budgeted $144.6 million for capital and
exploration expenditures in 2005. Our 2005 capital and
exploration budget includes $78.8 million for 28
exploratory wells. We project that we will spend
$71.5 million on 24 wells in the Gulf of Mexico and
$7.3 million on 4 onshore wells in South Texas and
Mississippi. The budget also includes $41.2 million for
platforms and development drilling. Additional development
expenditures beyond the budgeted amount will be required
throughout the year; the amount of such additional expenditures
being dependent upon our success with our 2005 exploration and
development program. The remaining $24.5 million will be
allocated to leasehold acquisitions, seismic acquisitions, and
workovers. If our exploratory drilling results in significant
new discoveries, we will have to expend additional capital in
order to finance the completion, development, and potential
additional opportunities generated by our success. If we
continue at our historical success rates, the 2005 capital
expenditures are estimated to be $200 million to
$225 million. We believe that, because of the additional
reserves resulting from the exploratory success and our record
of reserve growth in recent years, we will be able to access
sufficient additional capital through available cash on hand
and/or additional bank financing and/or offerings of debt or
equity securities.
Effective May 1, 2004, we agreed with our lenders to
maintain our borrowing base at $100.0 million. As of
December 31, 2004, we had nothing borrowed under the
facility. The banks review the borrowing base semi-annually and,
at their discretion, may decrease or propose an increase to the
borrowing base relative to a re-determined estimate of proved
oil and gas reserves. Our oil and gas properties are pledged as
collateral for the line of credit. Additionally, we have agreed
not to pay dividends. The most significant financial covenants
in the line of credit include maintaining a minimum current
ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of 1.0 to 1.0, a
minimum tangible net worth of $85.0 million plus 50% of net
income (accumulated from the inception of the agreement) and
100% of any non-redeemable preferred or common stock offerings,
and interest coverage of 3.0 to 1.0. We are currently in
compliance with these financial covenants. If we do not comply
with these covenants on a continuing basis, the lenders have the
right to refuse to advance additional funds under the facility
and/or declare any outstanding principal and interest
immediately due and payable.
On June 19, 2003, we filed a shelf registration statement
to issue up to $200.0 million of common stock, debt
securities, preferred stock, and/or warrants. The SEC declared
the shelf registration statement effective December 18,
2003. We have not drawn on the shelf offering. Generally, the
shelf is effective for two years from the effective date.

On December 31, 2004, our current assets exceeded our
current liabilities by $44.1 million. Our current ratio was
1.64 to 1.00.
Results of Operations
In 2004, we achieved net income totaling $61.0 million or
$2.23 basic income per share, and $2.14 diluted income per
share, compared to net income of $42.9 million or $1.61
basic income per share and $1.53 diluted income per share in
2003. The increase in net income resulted primarily from
increased oil and gas production and sales prices. In addition
to oil and gas production and sales prices, certain accounting
policies discussed below can cause our net income to vary
significantly from period to period because of events or
circumstances which trigger recognition of expenses for
unsuccessful wells or impairments of properties. Further, we
calculate certain expenses using estimates of oil and gas
reserves that can vary significantly.

Oil sales revenue during 2004 increased by $13.7 million,
or 26%, compared to 2003 because average oil prices increased by
$9.94 per barrel, or 34%, which more than offset a
100,000 barrel (6%) decline in oil production. During 2003,
oil sales revenue increased by $10.3 million, or 24%,
compared to 2002 because oil production increased by
46,000 barrels, or 3%, and average oil prices increased by
$5.16 or 21%. The increase in oil production came primarily from
new properties in the offshore Gulf of Mexico partially offset
by natural depletion of the existing producing properties in the
Gulf Coast area and the sale of certain properties in South
Texas in April 2002.
Gas sales revenue during 2004 increased by $37.2 million or
29% compared to 2003 because of higher average gas prices and
increased production. Average gas prices increased 11% from
$5.40 per Mcf in 2003 to $5.97 per Mcf in 2004, while
production increased by 3.9 Bcf, or 16%, to 28.1 Bcf
primarily because of gas production from new properties in the
offshore Gulf of Mexico. During 2003, gas sales revenue
increased by $71.9 million, or 123% because of higher
average gas prices and production. Average gas prices climbed
from $3.35 per Mcf in 2002 to $5.40 per Mcf, or 61%,
in 2003. Gas production increased by 6.7 Bcf, or 38%,
primarily because of higher gas production from the offshore
Gulf of Mexico.
During 2002, we sold certain South Texas properties at a
$4.1 million gain. This gain in 2002 accounts for the
decrease in other income during 2003 when compared to 2002.
|
|
|
Operating Costs and Expenses |
Total operating costs during 2004 increased by
$4.1 million, or 20%, compared to 2003, due to the increase
in the number of operating properties. However, operating costs
per Mcfe increased by only $0.06, or 10%, to $0.66 during 2004.
The following table presents the major components of our
operating costs and operating costs per Mcfe.

Exploration Expenses Successful-Efforts Method
of Accounting |
During 2004, exploration expenses decreased by
$2.9 million, or 11%, compared to 2003 primarily because of
an $11.2 million (46.7%) decrease in dry hole costs.
Exploration expenses for 2003 increased by $9.8 million, or
63%, because of increased dry hole costs compared to 2002 and a
$628,000 increase in seismic expenses over 2002. During the last
three years we have drilled 73 exploration wells, of which 23
considered dry holes, resulting in a 68% success ratio on
exploratory wells. Our dry hole costs charged to expense during
this period totaled $51.6 million out of total exploratory
drilling costs of $180.5 million.
|
|
|
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization of Oil and Gas
Properties |
We calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization expense
(DD&A) using the estimates of proved oil and gas
reserves. We segregate the costs for individual or contiguous
properties or projects and record DD&A of these property
costs separately using the units-of-production method. Downward
revisions in reserves increase the DD&A per unit and reduce
our net income; likewise, upward revisions lower the DD&A
per unit and increase our net income. Depreciation, depletion
and amortization expense recorded in 2004 increased by
$17.1 million, or 31%, compared to the prior year. On a per
Mcfe basis, depreciation, depletion and amortization per Mcfe
increased to $1.91 in 2004 from $1.60 in 2003 reflecting the
increased costs for finding reserves in the Gulf of Mexico.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased by
19
$17.2 million, or 45% for the year ended December 31,
2003, compared to the prior year, and depreciation, depletion
and amortization per Mcfe increased to $1.60 from $1.38 in 2002
reflecting the increased cost of finding reserves in the Gulf of
Mexico.
|
|
|
Asset Retirement Obligations |
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations (SFAS 143), effective
January 1, 2003. The statement requires that we estimate
the fair value for our asset retirement obligations
(dismantlement and abandonment of oil and gas wells and offshore
platforms) in the periods the assets are first placed in
service. We then adjust the current estimated obligation for
estimated inflation and market risk contingencies to the
projected settlement date of the liability. The result is then
discounted to a present value from the projected settlement date
to the date the asset was first placed in service. As of
January 1, 2003, we record the present value of the asset
retirement obligation as an additional property cost and as an
asset retirement liability. We recorded a combination of the
amortization of the additional property cost (using the
unit-of-production method) and the accretion of the discounted
liability as a component of our depreciation, depletion and
amortization of oil and gas properties.
We base our initial liability on estimates of current costs to
dismantle and abandon our existing platforms and wells on
historical experience, industry practice, and external estimates
of the cost to abandon similar platforms and wells subject to
federal and state regulatory requirements. We increase the
current liability estimate using a 3% annual inflation factor
over the estimated productive life of the individual property
and further increase the inflated liability by 5% for market
cost risk. The liability is discounted using United States
Treasury Securities with constant maturities that approximate
the number of years of productive life for the property plus a
2.5% adjustment for credit risk. Revisions to the liability
could occur due to changes in estimated abandonment costs or
well economic lives, or if federal or state regulators enact new
requirements regarding abandonment of wells.
Prior to our adoption of SFAS 143, we accrued an estimated
dismantlement, restoration and abandonment liability using the
unit-of-production method over the life of a property and
included the accrued amount in depreciation, depletion and
amortization expense. The total accrued liability
($5.5 million at December 31, 2002) was reflected as
additional accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization
of oil and gas properties on our balance sheet.
In conformity with SFAS 143 we recorded the cumulative
effect of this accounting change as of January 1, 2003, as
if we had used this method in the prior years. At
January 1, 2003, we increased our oil and gas properties by
$9.0 million, recorded $11.8 million as an Asset
Retirement Obligation liability and reduced our accumulated
depreciation by $2.8 million ($5.5 million accrued
dismantlement in prior years less accumulated depreciation,
depletion and amortization of $2.7 million on the increased
property costs). The adoption of the new standard had no
material effect on our net income. The following pro forma data
summarize our net income and net income per share for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as if we had adopted the
provisions of SFAS 143 on January 1, 2001, including
aggregate pro forma asset retirement obligations on that date:

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties |
Because we account for our proved oil and gas properties
separately, we also assess our assets for impairment property by
property rather than in one pool of total oil and gas property
costs. This method of assessment is another feature of the
successful-efforts method of accounting. Certain unforeseeable
events such as significantly decreased long-term oil or gas
prices, failure of a well or wells to perform as projected,
insufficient data on reservoir performance, and/or unexpected or
increased costs may cause us to record an impairment expense on
a particular property. We base our assessment of possible
impairment using our best estimate of future prices, costs and
expected net cash flow generated by a property. We estimate
future prices based on NYMEX 12 month strips, adjusted for
basis differential and escalate both the prices and the costs
for inflation if appropriate. If these estimates indicate
impairment, we measure the impairment expense as the difference
between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair
value measured by discounting the future net cash flow from the
property at an appropriate rate. Actual prices, costs, discount
rates, and net cash flow may vary from our estimates. We
recognized impairment expenses during the last three years as
follows:

We estimate the amount of individually insignificant unproved
properties which will prove unproductive by amortizing the
balance of our individual immaterial unproved property costs
(adjusted by an anticipated rate of future successful
development) over an average lease term. Individually
significant properties will continue to be evaluated
periodically on a separate basis for impairment. We will
transfer the original cost of an unproved property to proved
properties when we find commercial oil and gas reserves
sufficient to justify full development of the property. The
impairment of unproved properties for the prior two years
resulted from the actual (due to unsuccessful exploration
results) or impending forfeiture of leaseholds.
We analyze our proved properties for impairment indicators based
on the proved reserves as determined by our internal reserve
engineers. The properties impaired in 2004 primarily consisted
of properties in the Gulf of Mexico which totaled
$4.2 million and properties in the onshore Gulf Coast
totaling $5.5 million, and in 2003 included two properties
in the Gulf of Mexico which totaled $2.4 million and one in
the onshore Gulf Coast which totaled $855,000. During 2002, we
impaired two proved properties in the offshore Gulf of Mexico
that accounted for $3.5 million and two proved properties
in the onshore Gulf Coast that accounted for $2.9 million.
The impairments resulted primarily from wells depleting sooner
than originally estimated or capital costs in excess of those
anticipated.

|
General and Administrative Expenses |
General and administrative expenses during 2004 decreased by
$355,000, or 4% compared to 2003. General and administrative
expenses decreased by $0.03 per Mcfe to $0.21 in 2004 from
$0.24 in 2003. General and administrative expense in 2003
increased by $1.5 million. Stock based compensation expense
which is included in general and administrative expense totaled
$1.4 million in 2004, $1.6 million in 2003 and
$1.6 million in 2002.
|
|
|
Interest and Financing Expense |
Interest and financing expense decreased during the past two
years because of lower interest rates and lower outstanding debt.
21
During 2004, income taxes increased by $9.3 million
compared to 2003 and increased by $17.5 million during 2003
compared to 2002 as a result of increased income before taxes.
The effective tax rate increased slightly in 2003 due to an
increase in the provision for deferred state income taxes.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R), which is a revision of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123).
SFAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB 25) and amends Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement
of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123R
is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However,
SFAS 123R will require all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income based on
their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an
alternative. SFAS 123R must be adopted no later than
July 1, 2005, and permits us to adopt its requirements
using one of two methods:
|
|
|
A modified prospective method in which compensation
cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on
the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments
granted after the effective date and based on the requirements
of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to
the adoption date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the
adoption date. |
|
|
A modified retrospective method which includes the
requirements of the modified prospective method described above,
but also permits entities to restate either all prior periods
presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption based
on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for
purposes of pro forma disclosures. |
We have elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R on
July 1, 2005, using the modified prospective method. As
permitted by SFAS 123, we currently account for share-based
payments to employees using the intrinsic value method
prescribed by APB 25 and related interpretations.
Therefore, we do not recognize compensation expenses associated
with employee stock options. Currently, since all of our
outstanding stock options have vested prior to the adoption of
SFAS 123R, we will not recognize any expenses associated
with these prior stock option grants. However, the adoption of
SFAS 123R fair value method could have a significant impact
on our future results of operations for future stock or stock
option grants but no impact on our overall financial position.
Had we adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact would
have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in
the pro forma net income and income per share disclosures in
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies Stock Options. The adoption of
SFAS 123R will have no effect on our outstanding stock
grant awards.
SFAS 123R also requires the tax benefits of tax deductions
in excess of recognized compensation expenses to be reported as
a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as
required under current literature. This requirement may reduce
our future cash provided by operating activities and increase
future cash provided by financing activities, to the extent of
associated tax benefits that may be realized in the future.
While we cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the
future (because they depend on, among other things, when
employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash
flows from such excess tax deductions was $4.1 million
during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Item 7A. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk |
Commodity Price Risk
A vast majority of our production is sold on the spot markets.
Accordingly, we are at risk for the volatility of commodity
prices inherent in the oil and gas industry.
Occasionally we sell forward portions of our production under
physical delivery contracts that by their terms cannot be
settled in cash or other financial instruments. Such contracts
are not subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Accordingly
we do not provide sensitivity analysis for such contracts. We
currently have no such arrangements in place.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Remington Oil and Gas Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Remington Oil and Gas Corporation and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and
the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries
at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 14,
2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, in 2003 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations.

REMINGTON OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
Note 1 |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
Basis of Presentation and Principles of
Consolidation |
Remington Oil and Gas Corporation is an independent oil and gas
exploration and production company incorporated in Delaware. We
have working interest ownership rights in properties in the
offshore Gulf of Mexico and onshore Gulf Coast. We acquired the
following subsidiaries in 1998: CKB Petroleum, Inc.,
CKB & Associates, Inc., Box Brothers Realty
Investments Company, CB Farms, Inc., and Box Resources,
Inc. We consolidate 100% of the assets, liabilities, equity,
income and expense of the subsidiaries and eliminate all
inter-company transactions and account balances for the periods
of consolidation. We own 100% of the outstanding capital stock
of all of the subsidiaries. The primary operating subsidiary,
CKB Petroleum, Inc., owns an undivided interest in a pipeline
that transports our oil from our South Pass blocks, offshore
Gulf of Mexico, to Venice, Louisiana. We account for our
undivided interests in properties using the proportionate
consolidation method, whereby our share of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses are included in our financial statements.
|
|
|
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial
Statements |
Management prepares the financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
This requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported periods. Some of the more significant
estimates include oil and gas reserves, useful lives of assets,
impairment of oil and gas properties, and future dismantlement
and restoration liabilities. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. We make certain reclassifications to prior year
financial statements in order to conform to the current year
presentation.
|
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that
mature within three months or less when purchased. Our cash
equivalents consist primarily of institutional money market
funds. We record cash equivalents at cost, which approximates
their market value at the balance sheet date.
|
|
|
Concentration of Credit Risk |
Our financial instruments that are potentially subject to a
concentration of credit risk are principally cash and trade
receivables. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents
at December 31, 2004 and 2003 exceeded the $100,000
federally insured limit for amounts deposited at financial
institutions. At December 31, 2004, 3 companies
accounted for approximately 59% of our total accounts
receivable, and at December 31, 2003, 3 companies
accounted for approximately 65% of our total accounts
receivable. Oil and gas are fungible commodities in high demand
from numerous customers; however, during 2004 we sold oil and
gas to 4 major customers who accounted for 27%, 20%, 18% and 12%
of our total revenues. The sale of oil and gas to 4 major
customers accounted for 17%, 16%, 14% and 13% of our total oil
and gas revenues in 2003. We do not believe that the loss of any
of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or results of operations because we believe
that they can be replaced due to the high demand for oil and gas.
We follow the successful-efforts method to account for oil and
gas exploration and development expenditures. Under this method,
we capitalize expenditures for leasehold acquisitions, drilling
costs for productive wells and unsuccessful development wells.
We amortize the capitalized costs using the units-of-production
method, converting to gas equivalent units by using the ratio of
1 barrel of oil equal to 6 Mcf of gas.
30
REMINGTON OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Workovers that establish new production are capitalized and
workovers that restore production are charged to operating
expense.
Prior to 2003, we capitalized a discounted total of scheduled
payments related to our licenses to use a library of 3-D seismic
data. The amount capitalized was amortized to expense over the
estimated minimum useful life of 4 years using a straight
line method. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we completed a
further review of the contracts and it was determined that as of
the fourth quarter 2003, we would charge exploration expense as
the invoices are paid. This change in our method of accounting
for 3-D seismic data license did not have a material effect on
our current or prior financial statements. During the second
quarter of 2004, we acquired an additional license to access a
library of 3-D seismic data covering the deeper water trends of
the Gulf of Mexico. The agreement provides for a schedule of
payments beginning with the delivery of the first data in May
2004 and ending in July 2008. Because of our unilateral right to
terminate the license agreement, we do not consider any of the
payments scheduled in the contract to be an incurred liability
until the scheduled invoice date.
We review our oil and gas properties for impairment whenever
events or circumstances indicate that the net book value of
these properties may not be recoverable. If the net book value
of a property is greater than the estimated undiscounted future
net cash flow from the same property, the property is considered
impaired. We base our assessment of possible impairment using
our best estimate of future prices, costs and expected net cash
flow generated by a property. The impairment expense is equal to
the difference between the net book value and the fair value of
the asset. We estimate fair value by discounting, at an
appropriate rate, the future net cash flows from the property.
The impairment of unproved leasehold costs includes amortization
of the aggregate individually insignificant properties (adjusted
by an estimated rate of future successful development) over an
average lease term or, if events or circumstances indicate, a
specific impairment of individually significant properties.
Other properties include improvements on the leased office space
and office computers and equipment. We depreciate these assets
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives, which range from 3 to 12 years.
|
|
|
Capitalization of Exploration Drilling Costs |
We drill exploratory wells with the expectation that the final
well bore will be capable of producing oil and gas reserves. The
costs of drilling an exploratory well are capitalized as
uncompleted wells pending the determination of whether the well
has found proved reserves. If proved reserves are not found,
these capitalized costs are charged to expense. On the other
hand, the determination that proved reserves have been found
results in the continued capitalization of the drilling costs of
the well and its reclassification as a well containing proved
reserves. It may be determined that an exploratory well may have
found hydrocarbons at the time drilling is completed, but it may
not be possible to classify the reserves at that time. In this
case, we continue to capitalize the drilling costs as an
uncompleted well until the earlier to occur of one year from the
date drilling is completed or suspended, or the reserves are
deemed to be proved. At that time the well is either
reclassified as a proved well or is considered impaired and its
costs, net of any salvage value, are charged to expense.
Occasionally, we may salvage a portion of an unsuccessful
exploratory well in order to continue exploratory drilling in an
effort to reach the target geological structure/formation. In
such cases, we charge only the unusable portion of the well bore
to dry hole expense. We will continue to capitalize the costs
associated with the salvageable portion of the well bore and add
the costs to the new exploratory well. In certain situations
drilling is temporarily suspended and the well bore may be
carried for more than one year because drilling to the depth of
the target reserves is not yet complete. This may be due to the
need to obtain, and/or analyze the availability of, equipment or
crews or other activities necessary to pursue the targeted
reserves or evaluate new or reprocessed seismic and geological
data. If, after we analyze the new information and conclude that
we will not reuse the well bore or if the well is determined to
be unsuccessful after we
31
REMINGTON OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
complete drilling, we will charge the capitalized costs to dry
hole expense. Total capitalized exploratory drilling costs were
$12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004,
and $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The following table shows the number of wells and the associated
capitalized costs for wells in areas requiring a major capital
expenditure before production can begin, where additional
drilling efforts are not underway or firmly planned for the
future and wells in areas not requiring major capital
expenditures before production can begin, where more than one
year has elapsed since the completion of drilling as of the end
of the December 31, 2004 and 2003.

At December 31, 2004, we are carrying the costs of three
exploratory wells that do not have proved reserves associated
with them. Of the three, two wells are salvaged well bores that
we will reenter and continue exploration drilling. Only one of
these wells has been carried for more than one year. It did not
originally reach the drilling target due to mechanical failure.
We are waiting for additional reprocessed seismic data to
further define the drilling target. The remaining well is
waiting for completion of infrastructure on a contiguous block.
We do not believe that the application of the proposed FASB
Staff Position No. FAS 19-a of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board would have changed our results of
operations for any of the three years ending December 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002. The following table presents exploratory
costs deferred by year as of December 31, 2004.

Other assets include the long-term portion of prepaid pension
expenses (see Note 7 Employee Benefit
Plans-Pension Plan), and the long-term portion of net
unamortized credit facility origination fees. The origination
fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
credit facility. We charge the amortized amount to interest and
financing costs. In addition, other assets also include a
long-term account receivable totaling $385,000 at
December 31, 2004, and $376,000 at December 31, 2003,
which is CKB Petroleums claim under Collateral Assignment

When oil and gas is produced, we sell it immediately.
Consequently, we recognize oil and gas revenue in the month of
actual production based on our share of the revenues. Our actual
sales have not been materially different from our entitled share
of production, and we do not have any significant gas imbalances.
We include transportation costs in operating costs and expenses.
During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002,
we incurred transportation costs totaling $2.6 million,
$2.3 million, and $2.1 million, respectively.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation Transition and Disclosure
(SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS 123), to provide alternative methods of
transition to SFAS 123s fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of
SFAS 123 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require
disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of
the effects of an entitys accounting policy with respect
to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and
earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements.
While SFAS 148 does not amend SFAS 123 to require
companies to account for employee stock options using the fair
value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are

Through June 30, 2005, we will continue to apply the
accounting provisions of APB 25 and related interpretations
to account for stock-based compensation and have adopted the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 and SFAS 148.
Accordingly, we measure compensation cost for stock options as
the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of our stock at
the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the stock. All of our options are granted with exercise
prices at or above the quoted market price on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes relevant information as to the
reported results under our intrinsic value method of accounting
for stock awards, with supplemental information as if the fair
value recognition provision of SFAS 123 had been applied:

During 2004, we accelerated the vesting dates for 128,324 stock
options granted during 2002, and 39,999 stock options granted
during 2003, from the original vesting dates in 2005 and 2006 to
vesting dates in December 2004. All stock options were in the
money at the time the vesting dates were accelerated. The
acceleration of the vesting increased the stock based
compensation using the fair value method under SFAS 123 by
$1.1 million, net of tax at the statutory rate of 35%. As a
result of this acceleration all of our outstanding stock options
are vested at December 31, 2004.
The fair value of each option grant for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, is estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:

General and Administrative Expenses |
We report our general and administrative expenses net of
reimbursed overhead costs that we allocate to working interest
owners of the oil and gas properties that we operate.
Income tax expense or benefit includes both current income taxes
and deferred income taxes. Current income tax expense or benefit
equals the amount expected to be calculated on our income tax
return for that year. Deferred income tax expense or benefit
equals the change in the net deferred income tax asset or
liability from the beginning of the year plus the tax benefit
derived from the exercise of employee stock options. We
determine the amount of our deferred income tax asset or
liability by multiplying the enacted tax rates by the temporary
differences, net operating or capital loss carry-forwards plus
any tax credit carry-forwards. The tax rates used are the
effective rates applicable for the year in which we expect the
temporary differences or carry-forwards to reverse.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1
(FAS 109-1), Application of FASB
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to
the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by
the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004 (the AJCA) introduces a special
9% tax deduction on qualified production activities. FAS 109-1
clarifies that this tax deduction should be accounted for as a
special tax deduction in accordance with FASB Statement
No. 109. Pursuant to the AJCA, we will not be able to claim
this tax benefit until the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We do
not expect the adoption of these new tax provisions to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
We compute basic income per share by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common
stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted
in the issuance of common stock that then shares in the net
income of the company. The following table presents our
calculation of basic and diluted income per share.

Adopted and New Accounting Policies |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R), which is a revision of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123).
SFAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles
Bulletin Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (APB 25) and amends
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95,
Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in
SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described in
SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123R will require all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, to be recognized in our Consolidated Statements
of Operations based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure
is no longer an alternative. SFAS 123R must be adopted no
later than July 1, 2005, and permits us to adopt its
requirements using one of two methods:
|
|
|
A modified prospective method in which compensation
cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on
the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments
granted after the effective date and based on the requirements
of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to
the adoption date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the
adoption date. |
|
|
A modified retrospective method which includes the
requirements of the modified prospective method described above,
but also permits entities to restate either all prior periods
presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption based
on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for
purposes of pro forma disclosures. |
We have elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R on
July 1, 2005, using the modified prospective method. As
permitted by SFAS 123, we currently account for share-based
payments to employees using the intrinsic value method
prescribed by APB 25 and related interpretations.
Therefore, we do not recognize compensation expenses associated
with employee stock options. Currently, since all of our
outstanding stock options have vested prior to the adoption of
SFAS 123R, we will not recognize any expenses associated
with these prior stock option grants. However, the adoption of
SFAS 123R fair value method could have a significant impact
on our future results of operations for future stock or stock
option grants but no impact on our overall financial position.
Had we adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact would
have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in
the pro forma net income and income per share disclosures. The
adoption of SFAS 123R will have no effect on our
outstanding stock grant awards.
SFAS 123R also requires the tax benefits of tax deductions
in excess of recognized compensation expenses to be reported as
a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as
required under current literature. This requirement may reduce
our future cash provided by operating activities and increase
future cash provided by financing activities, to the extent of
associated tax benefits that may be realized in the future.
While we cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the
future (because they depend on, among other things, when
employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash
flows from such excess tax deductions were $4.1 million
during the year ended December 31, 2004.
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations (SFAS 143), effective
January 1, 2003. The statement requires that we estimate
the fair value of our asset retirement obligations
(dismantlement and abandonment of oil and gas wells and offshore
platforms) in the periods the assets are first placed in
service. We then adjust the current estimated obligation for
estimated inflation and market risk contingencies to the
projected settlement date of the liability. The result is then
discounted to a present value from the projected settlement date
to the date the asset was first placed in service. We record the
present value of the asset retirement obligation as an
additional property cost and as an asset retirement liability.
We record a combination of the amortization of the additional
property cost (using the unit of production method) and the
accretion of the discounted liability as a component of our
depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas
properties.
36
REMINGTON OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Prior to this adoption, we accrued an estimated dismantlement,
restoration and abandonment liability using the unit of
production method over the life of a property and included the
accrued amount in depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense. The total accrued liability ($5.5 million at
December 31, 2002) was reflected as additional accumulated
depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas
properties on our balance sheet.
In conformity with SFAS 143, we recorded the cumulative
effect of this accounting change as of January 1, 2003, as
if we had used this method in the prior years. At
January 1, 2003, we increased our oil and gas properties by
$9.0 million, recorded $11.8 million as an Asset
Retirement Obligation liability and reduced our accumulated
depreciation by $2.8 million ($5.5 million accrued
dismantlement in prior years less accumulated depreciation,
depletion and amortization of $2.7 million on the increased
property costs). The adoption of the new standard had no
material effect on our net income. The following pro forma data
summarize our net income and net income per share for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as if we had adopted the
provisions of SFAS 143 on January 1, 2001, including
aggregate pro forma asset retirement obligations on that date:

We estimate the amount of individually insignificant unproved
properties which will prove unproductive by amortizing the
balance of our individually immaterial unproved property costs
(adjusted by an anticipated rate of future successful
development) over an average lease term. Individually
significant properties will continue to be evaluated
periodically on a separate basis for impairment. We will
transfer the original cost of an unproved property to proved
properties when we find commercial oil and gas reserves
sufficient to justify full development of the property. The
impairment of unproved properties for the prior two years
primarily resulted from the actual (due to unsuccessful
exploration results) or impending forfeiture of leaseholds.
We analyze proved properties for impairment indicators based on
the proved reserves as determined by our internal reserve
engineers. The proved properties impaired during 2004 included
two properties in the Gulf of Mexico which totaled
$4.2 million and two onshore Gulf Coast properties which
totaled $5.5 million. The proved properties impaired in
2003 primarily consisted of two properties in the Gulf of Mexico
which totaled $2.4 million and one property in the onshore
Gulf Coast, and the proved properties impaired in 2002 included
two properties in the Gulf of Mexico which totaled
$3.5 million and two in the onshore Gulf Coast which
totaled $2.9 million. The impairments resulted primarily
from wells depleting sooner than originally estimated or capital
costs in excess of those anticipated.

We pledged our oil and gas properties as collateral for this
line of credit. We accrue and pay interest at varying rates
based on premiums ranging from 1.5 to 2.25 percentage
points over the London Interbank Offered Rates. We pay
commitment fees of 0.375% on the unused amount of the line of
credit. Interest, if any, only is payable quarterly through
May 3, 2006, at which time the line expires and all
principal becomes due, unless the line is extended or
renegotiated.
The most significant financial covenants in the line of credit
include maintaining a minimum current ratio (as defined in the
credit agreement) of 1.0 to 1.0, a minimum tangible net worth of
$85.0 million plus 50% of net income (accumulated from the
inception of the agreement) and 100% of any non-redeemable
preferred or common stock offerings, and interest coverage of
3.0 to 1.0. We are in compliance with these financial covenants.
If we do not comply with these covenants, the lenders have the
right to refuse to advance additional funds under the facility
and/or declare all principal and interest immediately due and
payable.
The banks review the borrowing base semi-annually and may
decrease or propose an increase to the borrowing base at their
discretion relative to the new estimate of proved oil and gas
reserves.
|
|
|
Fair Value of Indebtedness |
We estimate that the fair value of our long-term indebtedness,
including the current maturities of such obligations, was
approximately $18.0 million at December 31, 2003. We
based the fair value on current rates available for our bank
debt. The book value of our other long-term indebtedness
approximates fair value.

We have no material pending legal proceedings.
Effective May 12, 2004, we entered into an executory
contract with a third party under which we acquired a license to
use 3-D seismic data owned by the vendor covering approximately
1,200 blocks in the Gulf of Mexico. We do not acquire ownership
of the data, but simply a non-exclusive license to use the data.
The term of the agreement, subject to a mutual right of
termination by either party, is 20 years from delivery of
the data. At the end of the 20 year term, the license shall
be renewed for an additional 20 year term at no charge
unless the parties agree to terminate the agreement. The
following table reflects the expense for 2004 and the amount of
future payments for each specified year under the contract.

The licensor delivered to us all the 3-D seismic data under the
agreement within the first three months of execution, as
contemplated in the agreement, and we have full access to the
data. In addition to the terms of the agreement described above,
under the agreement the licensor has ongoing warranty and
indemnity responsibilities as to intellectual property matters
and the obligation to deliver to us certain data tapes and
support data upon our request. Further, we believe that under
the terms of the agreement we have the unilateral right to
terminate the agreement by non-payment of two scheduled
quarterly payments and because there is no provision restricting
termination of the agreement, and that upon such termination we
have no further obligations under the agreement, except for the
return of the data to the licensor.

Note 5 |
Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Dividends |
We have 100.0 million shares of common stock and
25.0 million shares of blank check preferred
stock authorized. The par value of the common stock and
preferred stock is $0.01 per share. The Board of Directors
can approve the issue of multiple series of preferred stock and
set different terms, voting rights, conversion features, and
redemption rights for each distinct series of preferred stock.

REMINGTON OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
We have reserved approximately 4.0 million shares of common
stock for our 1997 Stock Option Plan and for our Non-Employee
Director Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, we have reserved
2.0 million shares of common stock for our 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan approved by our stockholders on May 24,
2004. Both plans are discussed in more detail in
Note 6 Stock Based Compensation Expense.
Dividend payments are currently prohibited by our line of credit
agreement.
|
|
Note 6 |
Stock Based Compensation Expense |
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, comprising
three independent directors, administers the 1997 Stock Option
Plan. This committee has the discretion to determine the
participants, the number of shares granted to each person, the
exercise price of the common stock covered by each option, and
most other terms of the option. Options granted under the plan
may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock
options. The committee may issue options for up to
3.75 million shares of common stock, but no more than
937,500 shares to any individual. Forfeited options are
available for future issuance. In accounting for stock options
granted to employees and directors, we have chosen to continue
to apply the accounting method promulgated by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25)
rather than apply an alternative method permitted by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(SFAS 123). Under APB 25, at the time of
grant we do not record compensation expense on our income
statement for stock options granted to employees or directors.
A summary of our stock option plan as of December 31, 2004,
2003, and 2002, and changes during the years ending on those
dates is presented below:

REMINGTON OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The effect on our net income if we recorded the estimated
compensation costs for the stock options using the estimated
fair value as determined by applying the Black-Scholes option
pricing model is included in Note 1 Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies Stock Options.
During 2004, we accelerated the vesting dates for 128,324 stock
options granted during 2002, and 39,999 stock options granted
during 2003, from the original vesting dates in 2005 and 2006 to
vesting dates in December 2004. All stock options were in the
money at the time the vesting dates were accelerated. The
acceleration of the vesting increased the stock based
compensation using the fair value method under SFAS 123 by
$1.1 million, net of tax at statutory rate of 35%. As a
result of this acceleration all of our outstanding stock options
are vested at December 31, 2004.
|
|
|
Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan |
The Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan allows the
non-employee members of the Board to receive their
directors fees in shares of restricted common stock
instead of cash. The number of shares received will be equal to
150% of the cash fees divided by the closing market price of the
common stock on the day that the cash fees would otherwise be
paid. The director cannot transfer the common stock until the
earlier of one year after issuance or the termination of a
director resulting from death, disability, removal, or failure
to be nominated for an additional term. The director can vote
the shares of restricted stock and receive any dividend paid.
|
|
|
Employee and Director Stock Grants and Our 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan |
In June 1999, the Board of Directors approved a contingent stock
grant to our employees and directors. In order for the grant to
become effective, the price of our stock had to increase from
$4.19 per share to a trigger price of $10.42 per share
and close at or above $10.42 per share for 20 consecutive
trading days within 5 years of the grant date. On
January 24, 2001, the stock price closed above the trigger
price for the twentieth consecutive trading day. On that date,
we measured the total compensation cost at $8.1 million
which was the total number of shares granted multiplied by the
market price on that date. We recorded $8.1 million as
restricted common stock, and unearned compensation.
In May 2004, the stockholders approved the Remington Oil and Gas
Corporation 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. This plan is administered
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Under
this plan the Committee may issue stock options, purchased
stock, bonus stock, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock,
restricted stock awards, performance awards and other stock or
performance based awards. All employees and non-employee
directors are eligible to participate. In October 2004, the
Board approved a stock grant of an aggregate 200,000 shares
to employees and non-employee directors. The shares under this
grant vest one-fifth each October of the years 2005 through
2009. There is no trigger price or conditions under this stock
grant other than a written stock grant agreement between us and
the grantee, and the passage of time and continued employment or
service of a director for vesting purposes. We recorded
$5.2 million as restricted common stock and as unearned
compensation.
Unearned compensation is reported as a separate reduction in
stockholders equity on the balance sheet and is amortized
to stock compensation expense on a straight line basis that
conforms to the vesting schedule of the shares. During each of
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we
amortized $1.3 million, $1.3 million and
$1.4 million, respectively, to stock based compensation
expense. The total compensation expense may decrease if a grant
fails to vest in accordance with its terms.

Employee Benefit Plans |
Remington and CKB Petroleum, Inc. each have a noncontributory
defined benefit pension plan. The retirement benefits available
are generally based on years of service and average earnings. We
fund the plans with contributions at least equal to the minimum
funding provisions of employee benefit and tax laws, but usually
no more than the maximum tax deductible contribution allowed.
Plan assets consist primarily of equity and fixed income
securities. The following tables set forth significant
information about the plans, the reconciliation of the benefit
obligation, plan assets, and funded status for the pension plans.

To estimate the expected long-term rate of return on pension
plan assets, we consider the current and expected asset
allocations, as well as historical returns on equities and debt
securities.
The accumulated benefit obligation represents the present value
of the benefits earned to the measurement date, with benefits
computed based on current compensation levels. The projected
benefit obligation is the accumulated benefit obligation
increased to reflect expected future compensation.
Remingtons aggregate projected benefit obligation at
December 31, 2004, was $6.4 million and the aggregate
fair value of plan assets was $5.7 million. On
December 31, 2004, Remington had a prepaid benefit cost of
$1.6 million. CKB Petroleums aggregate projected
benefit obligation at December 31, 2004, was $676,000 and
the aggregate fair value of plan assets was $841,000. On
December 31, 2004, CKB Petroleum had a prepaid benefit cost
of $414,000.

Money fund balances were disproportionately high at each year
end because we made large contributions to the pension trusts
during the last few days of each year. These funds were
allocated to equity and debt securities and utilized for regular
distributions to retirees during the early part of the next
year. See the discussion of our investment policy below.
Plan fiduciaries set investment policies, strategies, and
guidelines for the pension trusts. These include
|
|
|
|
|
A long-term average annual rate of return of at least 8%. |
|
|
|
Asset allocations ranging from 75% equities and 25% debt
securities to 25% equities and 75% debt securities. Recommended
long-term average allocation is 60% equities and 40% debt
securities. |
|
|
|
Permissible investments include publicly-traded common and
preferred stocks, convertible bonds, fixed income securities,
guaranteed investment contracts, and money market funds.
Transactions are not permitted in futures contracts or options. |
|
|
|
Broad diversification of plan assets. |
Plan fiduciaries have appointed an investment advisor and asset
managers. A Plan Administration Committee, comprising three
company executive officers, meets with the investment advisor at
least quarterly to review overall investment performance, asset
manager performance, current asset category allocations,
recommended asset category allocations for the coming quarter,
and sources of liquidity for distributions to retirees for the
coming quarter. During the latter part of 2002 the committee,
with the assistance of the investment advisor, set the target
allocation at 75% equities and 25% debt securities and has
maintained that target allocation continuously since then.
|
|
|
Employee Severance Plan, Post Retirement Benefits and Post
Employment Benefits |
Our employee severance plan provides severance benefits ranging
from 2 months to 18 months of the employees base
salary if the employee is terminated involuntarily. The plan
incorporates the provisions and terms of any individual contract
or agreement that an employee may have with the company. Certain
of the executive officers have individual employment contracts
with the company.
We have never paid postretirement benefits other than pensions,
and we are not obligated to pay such benefits in the future.
Future obligations for postemployment benefits are immaterial.
Therefore, we have not recognized any liability for them.

Oil and Gas Reserves and Present Value Disclosures
(Unaudited) |
The estimates of oil and gas reserves were prepared by us and
audited by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, an
independent reserve engineering firm. The determination of these
reserves is a complex and interpretative process that is subject
to continued revision as additional information becomes
available. In many cases, a relatively accurate determination of
reserves may not be possible for several years due to the time
necessary for development drilling, testing and studies of the
reservoirs. We do not file reserve estimates with any other
federal authority or agency.
The quantities of proved oil and gas reserves presented below
include only the amounts which we reasonably expect to recover
in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under the
current economic and operating conditions. Proved reserves
include only quantities that we can commercially recover using
current prices, costs, existing regulatory practices and
technology. Therefore, any changes in future prices, costs,
regulations, technology or other unforeseen factors could
significantly increase or decrease proved reserve estimates. Our
proved undeveloped reserves are generally brought on line within
12 months. Alternatively, they are associated with long
life fields where economics dictate waiting for an existing
wellbore available for sidetrack, or waiting to mobilize a
platform rig for operations. Accordingly, proved undeveloped
reserves in major fields may be carried for many years. The
following table presents our net ownership interest in proved
oil and gas reserves.

The following tables represent value-based information about our
proved oil and gas reserves. The standardized measure of
discounted future net cash flows results from the application of
specific criteria applicable to the value-based disclosures of
all oil and gas reserves in the industry. Due to the imprecise
nature of estimating oil and gas reserve quantities and the
uncertainty of future economic conditions, we cannot make any
representation about interpretations that may be made or what
degree of reliance that may be placed on this method of
evaluating proved oil and gas reserves.
We compute future cash revenue by multiplying the year-end
commodity prices, or contractual pricing if applicable, by
estimated future production from proved oil and gas reserves. We
use year-end West Texas Intermediate posted prices per barrel
and Gulf Coast spot market prices per MMBtu adjusted by property
for energy content, quality, transportation fees, and regional
price differentials.

We estimated the costs based on the prior year costs incurred
for individual properties, or similar properties if a particular
property did not have production during the prior year. Future
income tax expense was determined by applying the current
statutory tax rate to the estimated future net cash flow from
all properties. Finally, we discounted the future net cash flow,
after tax, by 10% per year to arrive at the standardized
measure of discounted future net cash flows presented below.

Based on our Netherland, Sewell & Associates
audited reserve report for January 1, 2005, we estimate
that the amount of capital required to convert proved
undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves will be
$104.0 million of the $125.0 million of future
development costs, including $55.9 million in 2005,
$15.1 million in 2006 and $5.5 million in 2007. Our
actual expenditures may differ from these estimates. Capital
expenditures incurred to develop proved undeveloped reserves
were $21.8 million in 2004, $28.4 million in 2003 and
$28.5 million in 2002. |
The following table summarizes the principal sources of change
in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
from year to year.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our
Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal
Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by
this report. Further, during the period covered by this report,
there was no significant change in internal controls over
financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
|
|
|
Changes in internal control over financial
reporting. |
There have been no changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting (as defined in rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that
have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
The management of Remington Oil and Gas Corporation (the
Company) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
The Companys internal control over financial reporting is
a process designed under the control of the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President/Finance to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of the Companys
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As of December 31, 2004, management assessed the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting based on criteria for effective internal
control over financial reporting established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework, issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on the assessment, management determined that
the Company maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on those criteria.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public
accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial
statements of the Company included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on
managements assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004. The report, which expresses unqualified
opinions on managements assessment and on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is included in
this Item under the heading Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Remington Oil and Gas Corporation:
We have audited managements assessment, included in the
accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting, that Remington Oil and Gas Corporation (the
Company), a Delaware corporation, maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(the COSO criteria). The Companys management
is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the
51
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on managements
assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based
on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2004 and
2003 and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2004 of the Company
and our report dated March 14, 2005 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
