As a result, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with Amber Resources Company's ("the Company") audited financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year. For a more complete understanding of the Company's operations and financial position, reference is made to the financial statements of the Company, and related notes thereto, filed with the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2001, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Liquidity The Company has incurred losses from operations over the past several years coupled with significant deficiencies in cash flow from operations for the same period. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had a working capital deficit of $93,441. These factors, among others, may indicate that without increased cash flow from operations, sale of oil and gas properties or additional financing the Company may not be able to meet its obligations in a timely manner. the Company believes that it could sell oil and gas properties or obtain additional financing, however, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available on a timely basis or acceptable terms. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS No. 143 will have on its financial condition and results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 establishes one accounting model to be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to included more disposal transaction. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS No. 144 will have on its financial condition and results of operations. 4 AMBER RESOURCES COMPANY (A Subsidiary of Delta Petroleum Corporation) Notes to Financial Statements Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 (Unaudited) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) Oil and Gas Properties On July 1, 2001, the Company sold all of its producing properties to Delta Petroleum Corporation, our parent, for $107,044. The sales price for the properties was fair value based on an evaluation performed by an unrelated engineering firm. The difference between the sales price received and the net cost of the properties resulted in a gain of $73,960. Since the sale was to a related party, the gain has been deferred and will be amortized over the productive life of the properties. Unproved Undeveloped Offshore California Properties The Company has ownership interests ranging from .87% to 6.97% in three unproved undeveloped offshore California oil and gas properties with aggregate carrying values of $5,006,000 on September 30, 2001 and June 30, 2001. These property interests are located in proximity to existing producing federal offshore units near Santa Barbara, California and represent the right to explore for, develop and produce oil and gas from offshore federal lease units. Preliminary exploration efforts on these properties have occurred and the existence of substantial quantities of hydrocarbons has been indicated. The recovery of the Company's investment in these properties will require extensive exploration and development activities (and costs) that cannot proceed without certain regulatory approvals that have been delayed and is subject to other substantial risks and uncertainties. Should the required regulatory approvals not be obtained or plans for exploration and development of the properties not continue, the carrying value of the properties would likely be impaired and written off. 5 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Forward Looking Statements -------------------------- The statements contained in this report which are not historical fact are "forward looking statements" that involve various important risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the risks and factors set forth below as well as other risks previously disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB. Background ---------- Amber Resources Company ("Amber", "the Company") was incorporated in January, 1978, and is principally engaged in acquiring, exploring, developing, and producing oil and gas properties. We own interests in undeveloped oil and gas properties offshore California, near Santa Barbara. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- At September 30, 2001, we had a working capital deficit of $93,441 compared to working capital of $6,315 at June 30, 2001. Our current liabilities include deferred revenue of $67,796 at September 30, 2001 which represents the unamortized portion of the gain on sale of oil and gas properties. We do not currently have a credit facility with any bank and we have not determined the amount, if any, that we could borrow against our existing properties. We will continue to explore additional sources of both short-term and long-term liquidity to fund our working capital deficit and our capital requirements for development of our properties including establishing a credit facility, sale of equity, debt securities and sale of non-strategic properties or advances from shareholders. Many of the factors which may affect our future operating performance and liquidity are beyond our control, including oil and natural gas prices and the availability of financing. After evaluation of the considerations described above, we believe that proceeds from the sale of properties, the repayment of advances from our parent, Delta Petroleum Corporation, and other sources of funds will be adequate to fund our operating expenses and satisfy our other current liabilities over the next year or longer. We currently have no commitments for any material capital expenditures. Results of Operations --------------------- Net loss. We reported a net loss of $42,194 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to a net loss of $13,288 for the same period in 2000. Revenue. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $6,163 compared to $25,645 for the same period in 2000. Oil and gas sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $12,718. Our total revenues were impacted by the sale of all of our producing properties to our parent on July 1, 2001. 6 Other Revenue. Other revenue during fiscal 2001 includes amounts recognized from the production of gas previously deferred pending determination of our interests in the properties. Production volumes and average prices received for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 2000 Production: Oil (Bbls) - 96 Gas (Mcfs) - 3,592 Average Price: Oil (per Bbls) - $29.39 Gas (per Mcf) - $ 2.76 Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses were $4,397 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Depletion Expense. Depletion expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $3,536. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $31,378 compared to $25,565 for the same period as in 2000. Effective October 1, 1998, we entered into an agreement with our parent whereby we pay our parent an administration fee of $25,000 per quarter. Currently, we do not incur significant costs other than those paid to our parent. Future Offshore Operations -------------------------- There are certain milestones that were previously established by the MMS for two of our three undeveloped offshore California units. The specific milestones for each of the units vary depending upon the operator of the unit. On July 2, 2001, however, these milestones were suspended by the MMS in compliance with an order entered by a Federal Court on June 22, 2001 in the case of California v. Norton. In that case, the California Coastal Commission sued the United States government claiming, in essence, that the lease suspensions that were granted by the MMS while the COOGER Study was being completed violated the requirements of the Coastal Zone Management Act because, in granting those suspensions, the MMS did not make a determination that the suspensions were consistent with California's coastal management program. The Court agreed with California and ordered the MMS to set aside its approval of the subject suspensions and to direct suspensions of all of the subject leases, including all milestone activities, for a time sufficient for the MMS to provide the State of California with a consistency determination under the Coastal Zone Management Act. The July 2, 2001 letters from the MMS which direct suspension of the milestones indicate that the MMS will review the previously submitted (and approved) suspension requests under the provisions of the Coastal Zone Management Act as directed by the court. The current suspensions of operations directed by the letters do not specify an end date. 7 The MMS has issued letters to all of the operators of the affected leases offering the opportunity to modify the previously submitted suspension of production requests. Burdette A. Ogle, a consultant to us for our offshore California properties, has informed us that he believes the end-date of the suspensions of production will likely be the anticipated spud date for the delineation wells set forth in the operators' respective requests for suspension of production. During this period the leases will be held by the suspensions. The suspensions themselves authorize only preliminary activities, not operations, on the leases. The operations (i.e., drilling the next delineation wells) will be conducted under Exploration Plans ("EPs"). The operators intend to submit proposed Exploration Plans to the MMS for approval significantly before the expiration of the suspensions. Within 30 days of the date upon which the proposed EP is deemed "submitted" (usually after further revisions at the request of the MMS), the MMS is required to either: (1) approve the plan; (2) require the lessee to modify the plan, in which case the lessee may resubmit the modified plan; or (3) disapprove the plan if the MMS determines that the proposed activity would probably cause serious environmental harm which cannot be mitigated. Disapproval of an Exploration Plan does not, in and of itself, effect a cancellation of a lease. Under Federal Regulations (30 CFR Sec. 250.203(k)(2)), a lessee may resubmit a disapproved plan if there is a change in the circumstances which caused it to be disapproved. Further, the Federal Regulations contemplate that the lessee will work to modify the disapproved EP to accommodate the environmental concerns for a period of up to five years, during which time the lease would be held under a suspension. If the leases were ultimately cancelled on the basis of this Exploration Plan disapproval, the regulations contemplate that compensation would be required. If an Exploration Plan is approved, a delineation well would be spudded prior to the end of the applicable suspension. Once drilling is underway, the lease is held by operations. At the end of drilling operations, the lessee has a 180-day period to commence further operations (under an Exploration Plan or a Development and Production Plan) or to obtain a further suspension. In practice, the lessee would seek a suspension to allow for time to evaluate the results of delineation drilling and prepare a Development and Production Plan. Again, the applicable sections of the regulations accommodate suspensions for this purpose. During any such suspension, the operator would submit a proposed Development and Production Plan to the MMS. Within 60 days of the last day of the applicable comment periods, the MMS must: (1) approve the Development and Production Plan; (2) require modification of the Development and Production Plan; or (3) disapprove the Development and Production Plan, due to (i) the operator's failure to comply with applicable law, (ii) failure to obtain state consistency concurrence, (iii) national security or defense issues, or (iv) environmental concerns. As with the Exploration Plan, disapproval does not effect a lease cancellation. Again, the regulations contemplate that the lessee will work to modify the disapproved Development and Production Plan (or resolve the Coastal Zone Management Act issues) for a period of up to five years, during which the lease would most likely be held under a granted suspension. 8 All of the leases in which we hold an interest were originally issued for a primary term of five years, and MMS suspensions have the effect of extending the term of the lease for the period of the suspension. All of our leases must be maintained either through production, drilling operations or suspensions. Annual rentals under all leases equal $3/acre. Rentals were waived during the COOGER Study period (from January 1, 1993 through November 15, 1999). The MMS has also waived rentals during the current suspensions of operations beginning July 2, 2001. As these suspensions do not state a definite end date, the date through which rentals will be waived is not known. The Sword and Gato Canyon units are operated by Samedan Oil Corporation. In May 2000, Samedan acquired Conoco, Inc.'s interest in the Sword Unit. Prior to such time, as operator Conoco timely submitted the Project Description for the Sword Unit in February 2000. However, since becoming the operator, Samedan has informed the MMS that it has plans to submit a revised Project Description for the Sword Unit. The new plan is to develop the field from Platform Hermosa, an existing platform, rather than drilling a delineation well on Sword and then abandoning it. Prior to the suspension of milestones in accordance with the Court's order in the Norton case, the next scheduled milestone for the Sword Unit was the DPP for Platform Hermosa, which was to be submitted to the MMS in September 2001. When the DPP is filed, it is estimated that the cost will be approximately $360,000, with Amber's share being $3,600. In February 2000, Samedan timely submitted the Project Description for the Gato Canyon Unit. In August 2000, after responding to an MMS request for additional information and clarification, Samedan filed the revised Project Description. Prior to the suspensions granted under the Norton decision, the updated Exploration Plan for the Gato Canyon Unit was to be submitted to the MMS in September 2001. It is estimated that the cost of the updated Exploration Plan will be approximately $300,000, with Amber's share being $21,000. If and when milestones are reinstated, it is anticipated that the next milestone for Gato Canyon would still be to show proof that a Request for Proposal has been prepared and distributed to the appropriate drilling contractors as described in the revised Project Descriptions. At the time milestones were suspended by the MMS, the milestone date for the RFP was November 2001. It is estimated that it will cost $450,000 to complete the RFP, with Amber's cost estimated at $36,000. Prior to its suspension, the last milestone was to begin drilling operations on the Gato Canyon Unit by May 1, 2003 using the committee's drilling unit. The cost of the drilling operations are estimated to be $11,000,000 with Amber's share being $776,700. Our working interest share of the future estimated development costs based on estimates developed by the operating partners relating to our three undeveloped offshore California units is approximately $27 million. No significant amounts are expected to be incurred during fiscal 2002. Because the amounts required for development of these undeveloped properties are so substantial relative to our present financial resources, we may ultimately determine to farmout all or a portion of our interest. If we were to farmout our interests, our interest in the properties would be decreased substantially. In the event that we are not able to pay our share of expenses as a working interest owner as required by the respective operating agreements, it is possible that we might lose some portion of our ownership interest in the properties under some circumstances, or that we might be subject to penalties which would result in the forfeiture of substantial revenues from the properties. Alternatively, we may pursue other methods of financing, including selling equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that we can obtain any such financing. If we were to sell additional equity securities to finance the development of the properties, the existing common shareholders' interest would be diluted significantly. 9 We do not currently have a credit facility with any bank and we have not determined the amount, if any, that we could borrow against our existing properties. Together with Delta, we will continue to seek additional sources of both short-term and long-term liquidity to fund our working capital deficit and our capital requirements for development of our properties, including establishing a credit facility, sale of equity or debt securities and sale of non-strategic properties although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts. Many of the factors which may affect our future operating performance and liquidity are beyond our control, including oil and natural gas prices and the availability of financing. After evaluation of the considerations described above, we believe that our existing cash balances, proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties, and other sources of funds will be adequate to fund our operating expenses and satisfy our other current liabilities over the next year. At the present time we believe that all of the costs capitalized for our offshore California properties will be fully recovered through future development and production in spite of the factors discussed above, including, without limitation our inability to submit exploration plans for the Lion Rock, Gato Canyon and Sword Units since their acquisition in 1992, the extensive development necessary to access production from those Units, the uncertainty created by the court ruling in June, 2001 in the Norton case, the current suspension of operations prohibiting exploratory activities on the properties and our inability to effect any development due to our status as an investor as opposed to being the operator of the properties. Based on discussions with the MMS and operators of the properties, we currently believe that the MMS, in cooperation with the property interest owners, will provide the State of California with a consistency determination under the Coastal Zone Management Act that will allow exploration and development plans to be prepared. Furthermore, we believe that the MMS will seek to modify the previously submitted suspension of production requests to focus solely on "preliminary activities," and will approve new suspensions of production requests that do not contain any "milestones" per se, as the stated milestones in the previous suspensions of production appear to have been a significant factor in the court's decisions. We also believe that the end- date of any such new suspensions of production will likely be the anticipated spud date for the delineation wells set forth in the operators' respective requests for suspensions of production. Even though we are not the designated operator of the properties and regulatory approvals have not been obtained, we believe exploration and development activities on these properties will occur and are committed to expend funds attributable to our interests in order to proceed with obtaining the approvals for the exploration and development activities. Based on the preliminary indicated levels of hydrocarbons present from drilling operations conducted in the past, we believe the fair value of our property interests are in excess of their carrying value at March 31, 2001, June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 and that no impairment in the carrying value has occurred. Should the required regulatory approvals not be obtained or plans for exploration and development of the properties not continue, the carrying value of the properties would likely be impaired and written off. 10 ITEM 3. MARKET RISK Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates and commodity prices. We do not use financial instruments to any degree to manage foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks and do not hold or issue financial instruments to any degree for trading purposes.
