The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. 7 ZAPATA CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------- The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Zapata, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Although Zapata believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant accounting policies, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in Zapata's latest annual report on Form 10-K. On December 8, 1994, Zapata announced that it would redeem the remaining 22,498 outstanding shares of the Company's $6 Cumulative Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock). The Preferred Stock was redeemed at $100 a share. NOTE 2. ACQUISITION - -------------------- In November 1993, Zapata purchased the natural gas compression business of Energy Industries, Inc. and certain other affiliated companies ("Energy Industries"), as well as certain real estate used by the business ("Energy Industries Acquisition"). The following pro forma information for Zapata for the three months ended December 31, 1993 includes the historical results of Zapata, adjusted for the results of Energy Industries as if the Energy Industries Acquisition had been consummated on October 1, 1993 (unaudited) (in thousands, except per share amounts).
Revenues $65,553 Income from continuing operations before taxes 26,503 Income from continuing operations 17,209 Income per share from continuing operations 0.55
The pro forma adjustments to Zapata's results for the three months ended December 31, 1993 to reflect the Energy Industries Acquisition increased revenues by $6,014,000, as well as income before tax by $174,000. Additional pro forma adjustments for the first three months of fiscal 1994 included the elimination of $124,000 of various operating and administrative expenses that were charged to Energy Industries from an affiliate, additional depreciation of $120,000 and $41,000 of goodwill amortization, a reduction in net interest expense of $161,000 related to notes receivable and payable that were not acquired by Zapata and a federal tax provision of $104,000. The pro forma amounts presented above may not be indicative of the results that would have actually resulted if the transactions had occurred on the date indicated or which may be obtained in the future. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- At December 31, 1994, Zapata's financial condition remains strong. Long- term debt of $59.2 million compares favorably to working capital of $88.1 million and stockholders' equity of $150.8 million. Mandatory principal payments for the next twelve months total $2.5 million. Zapata currently owns 673,077 shares of common stock of Tidewater Inc., all of which are reserved for possible exchange, at the election of the holder, for $17.5 million of the Company's 8.5% unsecured exchangeable notes due in 1996. As of December 31, 1994, Zapata redeemed the remaining 22,498 shares of its outstanding $6 Cumulative Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) at $100 per share. In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company announced that payment of dividends on its Common Stock and $2 Noncumulative Convertible Preference Stock would be discontinued until further notice. Net cash used by operating activities for the first quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1994 each totalled $4.8 million. However, cash provided by investing activities of $1.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was significantly lower than the $79.9 million provided in the corresponding fiscal 1994 period as a result of the sale of 3.75 million shares of Zapata's Tidewater common stock in November 1993. Reflecting a senior debt prepayment in December 1993, net cash used by financing activities of $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was substantially lower than the $68.4 million used in the prior- year period. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Zapata reported net income of $393,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to net income of $17.3 million for the same period in fiscal 1994. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $33.8 million pretax gain from the sale of 3.75 million shares of Zapata's Tidewater common stock in the fiscal 1994 period. This gain was partially offset by a $6.8 million expense associated with the partial prepayment of the Company's senior indebtedness during the first quarter of fiscal 1994. Interest expense was lower in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to the corresponding 1994 period due primarily to the 1994 senior debt prepayment. The fiscal 1994 results include net income of $313,000 from the Company's discontinued marine protein operations. The Company's operating income of $1.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared favorably to operating income of $338,000 for the corresponding fiscal 1994 period. The improvement was primarily attributable to Zapata's natural gas compression division that was acquired in November 1993. The benefits of reduced general and administrative expenses associated with the Company's corporate headquarters and the absence of domestic oil and gas operations workover expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 were offset by an operating loss from the Company's natural gas gathering, processing and marketing operations. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 totalled $46.0 million as compared to $59.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1994. 9 NATURAL GAS COMPRESSION - In November 1993, Zapata purchased Energy Industries, - ----------------------- Inc. ("Energy Industries") a participant in all segments of the natural gas compression industry. Energy Industries operates one of the ten largest rental fleets of natural gas compressor packages in the United States. Its compressor fleet is located in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, as well as offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Energy Industries primarily supplies natural gas compressor packages in natural gas production and processing applications. In natural gas production applications, natural gas compression is used to increase the flow rate of gas wells with low reservoir pressures. In natural gas processing applications, natural gas compression is used in the process of separating the various hydrocarbon components of the wellhead natural gas stream. In interstate natural gas pipeline applications, natural gas compression is used to increase the pressure of natural gas from reservoir levels to interstate pipeline standards. Energy Industries maintains an inventory of compressor and engine components to support the fabrication, service and repair of natural gas compressor packages. The major segments of Energy Industries' natural gas compression revenues and operating results for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and the two months ended December 31, 1993, in thousands, are identified below.
Revenues Operating Results -------------------- -------------------- 1995 1994 1995 1994 ---------- -------- -------------------- Compressor Rental $ 4,329 $ 2,914 $ 1,450 $ 976 Fabrication and Sales 6,845 3,493 921 334 Parts & Service 5,384 4,166 1,006 777 Other 1,605 2,058 176 92 Selling & Administrative --- --- (1,630) (1,192) ---------- ---------- ------- ---------- $18,163 $12,631 $ 1,923 $ 987 ========== ========== ======= ==========
Natural gas compressor package rental utilization is affected primarily by the number and age of producing oil and gas wells, the volume of natural gas consumed and natural gas prices. Rental rates are determined primarily by the demand for compressor packages and vary by size and horsepower of a compressor package. Energy Industries' utilization, rental rates and fleet size as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 are compared in the following table.
December 31, 1994 December 31, 1993 ------------------ ------------------ Fleet utilization: - ----------------------------------------- Horsepower 79.5% 76.8% Monthly rental rate, based on: - ----------------------------------------- Horsepower $ 16.36 $ 16.83 Fleet size: - ----------------------------------------- Number of units 711 684 Horsepower 113,706 106,139
10 Although utilization of the Company's compressor packages was higher at December 31, 1994 as compared to that at December 31, 1993, compressor utilization and rental rates have both been negatively impacted during the current fiscal quarter by the effects of low natural gas prices. In addition to operating a fleet of natural gas compressor packages for rental purposes, Energy Industries designs, fabricates and sells natural gas compressor packages to customer specifications. Energy Industries sells compressor packages to natural gas producers, gatherers and transmission companies which expect the long life of their associated reserves or pipeline to justify the capital cost of acquiring, rather than renting, a natural gas compressor package. Most of Energy Industries' natural gas compressor package sales are for larger, high horsepower packages. NATURAL GAS GATHERING, PROCESSING AND MARKETING - Zapata's natural gas - ----------------------------------------------- gathering, processing and marketing operations are conducted through Cimarron Gas Holding Company and its subsidiaries. Cimarron was acquired early in fiscal 1993 to serve as the vehicle for the Company's expansion into the natural gas services market. As a division of Zapata, Cimarron's operations involve two major categories of business activities: the gathering and processing of natural gas and its constituent products and the marketing and trading of natural gas liquids (NGL's). Revenues and operating results for the first quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1994 are presented in the following table by major category, in thousands.
Revenues Operating Results ------------------ -------------------- 1995 1994 1995 1994 --------- ---------- ------- ---------- Gathering & Processing $ 4,305 $ 6,080 $ 36 $ 558 NGL Marketing 20,726 37,391 16 535 Selling & Administrative --- --- (222) (532) --------- ---------- ------- ---------- $25,031 $43,471 $(170) $ 561 ========= ========== ======= ==========
For the first quarter of fiscal 1995, gathering and processing revenues and operating income were lower than the prior-year results as the negative impact of significantly lower natural gas prices more than offset improved processing margins. Marketing revenues and operating income also declined in the 1995 period reflecting the Company's decision to reduce its natural gas trading activities. Gas gathering is the collection of natural gas from various individual wells, combining it into a single gas stream and delivering it into a major transmission line for transportation to market. A gathering system sometimes includes an associated processing plant for the removal of gas liquids, depending on the content of liquefiable hydrocarbons in the gas streams and the capabilities of transmission lines. 11 In fiscal 1994 and 1993, Cimarron significantly expanded its natural gas gathering and processing activities through the acquisition and expansion of natural gas gathering systems in West Texas and Oklahoma and a gas processing plant in Sutton County, Texas. A comparison of average daily volumes of gas, measured in millions of cubic feet, gathered and processed during the first quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1994 are shown below.
1995 1994 ------------ Gathering 51.3 40.4 Processing 27.2 18.8
OIL AND GAS - Operating income of $410,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 - ----------- compared favorably to the fiscal 1994 period's operating income of $208,000 while revenues declined to $2.8 million in the 1995 period as compared to $3.4 million in the prior-year period. The improvement in operating income was due primarily to the absence of workover expenses in fiscal 1995; the fiscal 1994 period included $400,000 of workover expenses at the Company's Wisdom gas field. The division's results were negatively impacted by the significantly lower natural gas prices in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, as well as reduced receipts from the Bolivian operations ($700,000 in 1995 compared to $1.0 million in 1994). Additionally, the Company curtailed production in the Gulf of Mexico during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as a result of the low gas prices. 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
