The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 5 CALLON PETROLEUM COMPANY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, has been prepared from the books and records without audit. Financial information as of December 31, has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the period indicated, have been included. For further information regarding the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 30, 2001. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. Changes in the value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges to the extent effective are reported in other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity, until realized. See Note 3. 2. PER SHARE AMOUNTS Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the quarter. Diluted earnings or loss per common share were determined on a weighted average basis using common shares issued and outstanding adjusted for the effect of stock options considered common stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method and the effect of the convertible preferred stock (if dilutive). The earnings per share computation for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 includes the conversion of preferred stock in the computation of diluted income per share because they were dilutive. The conversion of the preferred stock was not included in the calculation for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 due to their antidilutive effect on diluted income or loss per share. 6 A reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------ 2001 2000 ------- ------- (a) Net income available for common stock $ 5,855 $ 611 Preferred dividends assuming conversion of preferred stock (if dilutive) $ 319 $ -- (b) Income available for common stock assuming conversion of preferred stock (if dilutive) $ 6,174 $ 611 (c) Weighted average shares outstanding 13,253 12,156 Dilutive impact of stock options 290 198 Convertible preferred stock (if dilutive) 1,365 -- (d) Total diluted shares 14,908 12,354 Basic income per share (a/c) $ 0.44 $ 0.05 Diluted income per share (b/d) $ 0.41 $ 0.05
3. DERIVATIVES The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments to manage oil and gas price risks. Settlements of gains and losses on commodity price swap contracts are generally based upon the difference between the contract price or prices specified in the derivative instrument and a NYMEX price and are reported as a component of oil and gas revenues. Approximately $1,578,000 related to these financial instruments was recognized as a reduction of oil and gas revenue in the first three months of 2001 and $80,000 was recognized as additional oil and gas revenue in the first quarter of 2000. These contracts, in effect at March 31, 2001, are for average gas volumes of 342,850 Mcf per month from April 2001 through October 2001 at (on average) a ceiling price of $5.33 and floor price of $4.30. The Company had no open crude oil contracts at March 31, 2001. Subsequent to March 31, 2001, the Company entered into additional natural gas collar contracts, in effect, for June 2001 through December 2002. These agreements are for average gas volumes of 441,000 Mcf per month with a weighted average ceiling price of $6.12 and floor price of $4.17. As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2001. The cumulative effect of the accounting change, net of tax, recorded, as other comprehensive loss was $3,764,000. In the first quarter of 2001, this amount was offset by the change in the fair value of derivatives recorded as other comprehensive income of $3,199,000. As a result of SFAS 133, the Company recorded $565,000 as other comprehensive loss and $243,000 as a reduction in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and, included in the balance sheet, a liability for the fair market value of its derivative financial instruments of $626,000 at March 31, 2001. 7 4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY During the first quarter of 2000, certain preferred stockholders, through private transactions, converted 5,000 shares of Preferred Stock into 11,365 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Any non-cash premiums negotiated in excess of the conversion rate were recorded as additional preferred stock dividends and excluded from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. There were no conversions of Preferred Stock in the first three months of 2001. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT Approximately $7.3 million of current accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March 31, 2001 related to long-term assets, primarily oil and gas properties were financed subsequent to quarter-end with long-term debt and have been reclassified as long-term. 6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME First quarter 2000 results did not include any items of other comprehensive income. A recap of the Company's first quarter 2001 comprehensive income is shown below (in thousands): Net Income Other comprehensive income (loss): $ 6,174 Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (3,764) Change in unrealized derivatives' fair value 3,199 ------- (565) ------- Total Comprehensive Income $ 5,609 =======
8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report, including statements regarding the Company's financial position, adequacy of resources, estimated reserve quantities, business strategies, plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and covenant compliance, are forward-looking statements. The Company can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are disclosed below, in the section "Risk Factors" included in the Company's Form 10-K, elsewhere in this report and from time to time in other filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified by the Cautionary Statements. GENERAL The Company's revenues, profitability and future growth and the carrying value of its oil and gas properties are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of oil and gas and its ability to find, develop and acquire additional oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company's ability to maintain or increase its borrowing capacity and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also influenced by oil and gas prices. Prices for oil and gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include weather conditions in the United States, the condition of the United States economy, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, governmental regulations, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere, the foreign supply of oil and gas, the price of foreign imports and the availability of alternate fuel sources. Any substantial and extended decline in the price of oil or gas would have an adverse effect on the Company's carrying value of its proved reserves, borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments for price protection purposes on a limited amount of its future production and does not use them for trading purposes. The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the Company's historical financial positions and results of operations. The Company's historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report contains detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with the following discussion. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of capital are its cash flows from operations, borrowings from financial institutions and the sale of debt and equity securities. Net cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2001 decreased by $5.4 million and net cash flows from operations before working capital changes totaled $14.9 million. Net capital expenditures from the cash flow statement for the period totaled $24.1 million. These funds were expended in exploration, drilling and completion of oil and gas properties. At March 31, 2001, the Company had working capital of $3.6 million. In May 2001, the Company initiated a combination of offerings of equity and senior notes to investors with proceeds to be used to call certain of the Company's subordinated debt and senior secured credit facility and to finance capital expenditures. Subsequently, the Company withdrew its offer to sell the senior notes and the equity sale was terminated. The Company is currently evaluating other alternatives for funding of its capital projects. 9 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Capital expenditures for exploration and development costs related to oil and gas properties totaled approximately $24.1 million in the first three months of 2001. The Company incurred approximately $15.6 million in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf area primarily in the developments at South Marsh Island 261 and Mobile 908. Included in these expenditures, as exploration costs were approximately $2.6 million related to one unsuccessful Gulf of Mexico Shelf prospect evaluated during the first quarter of 2001. The Gulf of Mexico Deepwater area expenditures accounted for the remainder of the total capital expended, with one unsuccessful exploration project totaling $2.8 million and the balance primarily for additional development costs for production facilities at the Company's Medusa discovery. Interest and general and administrative costs allocable directly to exploration and development projects were approximately $2.9 million for the first three months of 2001. For the remainder of the year, the Company will continue evaluating property acquisitions and drilling opportunities. The Company has budgeted up to $65.9 million in capital expenditures for the remainder of 2001. The major portion of the capital expenditure budget will be used to drill development and exploratory wells to increase total proved reserves and increase production for the Company. 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain unaudited operating information with respect to the Company's oil and gas operations for the periods indicated.

Oil and Gas Production and Revenues Total oil and gas revenues increased 115% from $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2000 to $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2001. Gas prices were substantially higher while oil prices were only slightly higher when compared to the same period in 2000. Total production for the first quarter of 2001 improved by 8% versus the first quarter of 2000 due to increased production at Chandeleur Block 40 (after stimulation resulting from an acid job) and Main Pass 26 (back online after being recompleted) as well as production at East Cameron 275 and South Marsh Island 261. Gas production during the first quarter of 2001 totaled 3.4 billion cubic feet and generated $18.8 million in revenues compared to 3.1 billion cubic feet and $7.8 million in revenues during the same period in 2000. The average sales price for the first quarter of 2001 averaged $5.46 per thousand cubic feet compared to $2.52 per thousand cubic feet at this time last year. The Company's gas production increased when compared to the same quarter last year as a result of new production at East Cameron 275 and South Marsh Island 261. Oil production during the first quarter of 2001 totaled 51,000 barrels and generated $1.4 million in revenues compared to 61,000 barrels and $1.6 million in revenues for the same period in 2000. Average oil prices received in the first quarter of 2001 were $26.62 compared to $26.42 in 2000. The decline in production was primarily due to expected production declines in some of the Company's older producing properties. Lease Operating Expenses Lease operating expenses, including severance taxes, for the three-month period ending March 31, 2001 were $2.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2000 and reflect the increased costs related to the addition of production facilities at South Marsh Island 261 and East Cameron 275. Production declines related to older properties that have relatively fixed operating costs also contributed to the higher per Mcf costs with lower production levels in the three months ended March 31, 2001. Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three months ending March 31, 2001 and 2000 were $4.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively. This increase is primarily due to a higher average rate in the first quarter of 2001, but is also a result of higher levels of production during the first three months of 2001. General and Administrative General and administrative expense increased slightly to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Interest Expense Interest expense increased from $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001. An increase in the Company's long-term debt, as well as, higher interest rates contributed to the greater interest expense. 12 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's revenues are derived from the sale of its crude oil and natural gas production. In recent months, the prices for oil and gas have increased; however, they remain extremely volatile and sometimes experience large fluctuations as a result of relatively small changes in supplies, weather conditions, economic conditions and government actions. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge oil and gas price risks for the production volumes to which the hedge relates. The hedges reduce the Company's exposure on the hedged volumes to decreases in commodity prices and limit the benefit the Company might otherwise have received from any increases in commodity prices on the hedged volumes. The Company also enters into price "collars" to reduce the risk of changes in oil and gas prices. Under these arrangements, no payments are due by either party so long as the market price is above the floor price set in the collar and below the ceiling. If the price falls below the floor, the counter-party to the collar pays the difference to the Company and if the price is above the ceiling, the counter-party receives the difference from the Company. The Company enters into these various agreements from time to time to reduce the effects of volatile oil and gas prices and does not enter into hedge transactions for speculative purposes. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's hedged position at March 31, 2001. There have been no significant changes in market risks faced by the Company since the end of 2000. 13 CALLON PETROLEUM COMPANY PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a.)
