The accompanying notes to financial statements are an integral part of this statement. 3 5 APACHE OFFSHORE INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Apache Offshore Investment Partnership (the Partnership), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the summary of significant accounting policies and notes thereto included in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-K. 1. OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses payable at March 31, 1998, primarily represented operating costs accrued in February and March that will be paid in subsequent months. 2. RECEIVABLE FROM APACHE The receivable from Apache Corporation, the Partnership's managing partner (Apache or the Managing Partner), represents the net result of the Investing Partners' revenue and expenditure transactions in the current month. Generally, cash in this amount will be transferred from Apache in the month after the Partnership's transactions are processed and the net results of operations are determined. 3. RIGHT OF PRESENTMENT In February 1994, an amendment to the Partnership Agreement created a right of presentment under which all Investing Partners have a limited and voluntary right to offer their Units to the Partnership twice each year to be purchased for cash. The first right of presentment offer for 1998 was based upon a valuation date of December 31, 1997 for a purchase price of $11,161 per Unit, plus interest to the date of payment. The offer was made to the Investing Partners on April 28, 1998, and Investing Partners may elect to exercise their right of presentment through May 29, 1998. The Partnership is not in a position to predict how many Units will be presented for repurchase under the April 1998 offer and cannot, at this time, determine if the Partnership will have sufficient funds available to repurchase Units. The Partnership has no obligation to purchase any Units presented to the extent it determines that it has insufficient funds for such purchases. The amended Partnership Agreement contains limitations on the number of Units that the Partnership can repurchase, including a limit of 10 percent of the outstanding Units on an annual basis. 4 6 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME AND REVENUE The Partnership reported net income of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 1998, versus $2.6 million in the prior year period. Net income per Investing Partner Unit decreased 59 percent, from $1,683 per Unit to $697 per Unit. The decrease was attributable to lower natural gas production and prices, lower crude oil prices and higher lease operating expense (LOE), mitigated by lower depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense and financing costs. Revenues decreased 41 percent, from $3.7 million in the first quarter of 1997 to $2.2 million for the same period in 1998. Natural gas and crude oil sales contributed 81 percent and 18 percent, respectively, to the Partnership's total revenues, with one percent attributable to interest income. The Partnership's oil and gas production volume and price information is summarized in the following table (gas volumes presented in thousand cubic feet (Mcf) per day):
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ---------------------------------- 1998 1997 DECREASE ------------- ------------- -------------- Gas volume - Mcf per day 9,079 11,596 (22%) Average gas price - per Mcf $2.19 $2.83 (23%) Oil volume - barrels per day 333 393 (15%) Average oil price - per barrel $13.50 $21.15 (36%)
FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1997 Natural gas sales revenues for the first quarter of 1998 totaled $1.8 million, 40 percent lower than the first quarter of 1997. The decrease resulted from a 22 percent decline in natural gas production, negatively impacting revenue by $.5 million. Natural gas production decreased as a result of natural declines in production, the sale of High Island Block A-6 (Glenda Prospect) in October 1997, and the sale of West Cameron Block 368 (Krypton Prospect) in January 1998. Also contributing to the decrease in revenues was a 23 percent decrease in natural gas prices, negatively impacting revenue by $.7 million. The Partnership's crude oil sales revenues for the first quarter totaled $.4 million, a 46 percent decrease from the first quarter of 1997. The impact of a 36 percent decrease in average realized oil prices negatively impacted revenues by $.3 million. The decrease in production was primarily the result of natural declines. OPERATING EXPENSES The Partnership's DD&A expense for the first quarter of 1998 decreased 14 percent from the same period in the previous year due to lower oil and gas sales revenue. The Partnership's DD&A rate, expressed as a percentage of sales, was 33 percent during the first three months of 1998, increasing from 23 percent during the same period in 1997. The increase in the rate was a result of generally declining natural gas and crude oil prices and downward reserve revisions recorded in the fourth quarter of 1997. 5 7 LOE in the first quarter of 1998 increased from $.1 million to $.2 million compared to the first quarter of 1997. The increase was the result of higher workover activity in the first three months of 1998 and joint venture audit credits received in March 1997. CASH FLOW, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Partnership's primary capital resource is net cash provided by operating activities, which was $1.9 million for the first three months of 1998, a decrease of 39 percent from a year ago, driven by lower oil and gas production and prices. Future cash flows will similarly be influenced by fluctuations in product prices, production levels and operating costs. The Partnership repaid all outstanding debt and terminated its revolving credit facility on January 31, 1997, rendering the Partnership debt free for the first time in its 14-year history, and has not incurred any new debt in 1998. It is expected that the net cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet the Partnership's liquidity needs through the end of 1998. However, in the event short-term operating cash requirements are greater than the Partnership's financial resources, the Partnership will seek short-term, interest-bearing advances from the Managing Partner. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS The Partnership's primary needs for cash are for operating expenses, drilling and recompletion expenditures, distributions to Investing Partners and the purchase of Units offered by Investing Partners under the right of presentment. During the first three months of 1998, the Partnership's oil and gas property additions totaled $1.4 million. These additions related primarily to completions at South Timbalier 295 and drilling activity at South Pass 83. Based on information supplied by the operators of the properties, the Partnership anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $3.0 million for the remainder of 1998. The anticipated capital expenditures relate to completions and additional workovers at South Timbalier 295 and the remaining drilling activity at South Pass 83. Such estimates may change based on realized prices, drilling results or changes by the operator to the development plan. As provided in the amended Partnership Agreement, a first right of presentment offer for 1998 of $11,161 per Unit, plus interest to the date of payment, was made to Investing Partners on April 28, 1998, based on a valuation date of December 31, 1997. The Partnership is not in a position to predict how many Units will be presented for repurchase during 1998 and cannot, at this time, determine if the Partnership will have sufficient funds available to repurchase Units. The Partnership has no obligation to purchase any Units presented to the extent it determines that it has insufficient funds for such purchases. Due primarily to the reduced level of cash provided by operating activities, and the expected need to utilize such cash to fund anticipated capital expenditures, the Partnership did not make a distribution in the first quarter of 1998. The Managing Partner will periodically reassess the Partnership's cash position to determine if a distribution later in the year will be possible. The amount of future distributions will be dependent on actual and expected production levels, oil and gas prices, and drilling and recompletion expenditures. 6 8 IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer software being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Apache, as Managing Partner, manages the Partnership's operations. Apache uses a portion of its staff for this purpose and is reimbursed for actual costs paid on behalf of the Partnership, as well as for general, administrative, and overhead costs properly allocable to the Partnership. Any of the Managing Partner's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. If left unremedied, this could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in similar normal business activities. The Managing Partner is in the process of replacing significant portions of its software to more effectively and efficiently meet its business needs. Replacement computer systems selected by Apache will properly recognize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Managing Partner presently believes that with conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will be eliminated. However, if such conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Partnership. The Managing Partner plans to replace substantially all of its existing systems within 12 months or not later than March 31, 1999. The date on which the Managing Partner plans to complete installation of its new system is based on management's best estimates, which were derived using numerous assumptions of future events including the continued availability of certain resources. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those plans. Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area and similar uncertainties. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK Certain statements in this report, including statements of the future plans, objectives, and expected performance of the Partnership, are forward-looking statements that are dependent on certain events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside the Partnership's control which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Some of these include, but are not limited to, economic and competitive conditions, inflation rates, legislative and regulatory changes, financial market conditions, political and economic uncertainties of foreign governments, future business decisions, and other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The total amount or timing of actual future production may vary significantly from reserves and production estimates. The drilling of exploratory wells can involve significant risks including those related to timing, success rates and cost overruns. Lease and rig availability, complex geology and other factors can affect these risks. Future oil and gas prices also could affect results of operations and cash flows. 7 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES None. ITEM 3.
