PART I

 

Item 1. BUSINESS

 

Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc., a Louisiana corporation incorporated in 1930 and headquartered in Lake Charles, Louisiana, is a company which owns and operates real estate holdings that generate oil and gas royalties, timber sales and agriculture rents. Originally formed to receive mineral royalties spun off by a bank to its shareholders, the Company has pursued a goal of acquiring land-holdings in Southwest Louisiana.

 

Operations

 

The Company’s income is derived from the acreage and mineral interests it owns either totally or as an undivided owner of land managed as a unit under the name Walker Louisiana Properties. The largest source of income is from oil and gas production from these properties. The next largest sources are from agriculture and timber grown on the Company’s land. The Company is not involved in exploration and production. The Company has a small working interest in one field, which occurred as a back-in under the original mineral lease, but has no control over the operations. The Company does not anticipate taking a working interest in any future production of oil and gas. The Company does not consider itself to be involved in oil and gas producing activities inasmuch as: (1) it does not search for crude oil or natural gas in their natural states; (2) it does not acquire property for the purpose of exploration or the removing of oil or gas; and (3) it is not involved in construction, drilling and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas. All of the Company’s oil and gas income is derived from leases on Company owned lands or mineral rights deeded to the Company at its inception in 1930. The Company receives royalties from 23 different operators each with a different lease. The largest mineral participation by Calcasieu in any of these units is 4.339%. The Company is a part owner in Walker Louisiana Properties lands which receives oil and gas income from 29 different operators each with a different lease. The largest mineral participation by Calcasieu in any of these units is 2.858%. Calcasieu has no reserve information on any of these properties and it would be uneconomical and unpractical to acquire this information.

 

Of the Company’s net 13,941 acres, there are 6,134 acres planted in trees with the remainder being primarily agriculture land. There is approximately 870 acres of marsh land whose only economic use is for hunting, trapping and prospective mineral production. Income from oil and gas royalties and mineral leasing comes from both agriculture and timber lands.

 

Oil and gas royalties are paid by the operators who own the wells. Timber income is paid by the highest bidder of the timber. There are several mills in the immediate area who compete for timber. All of the agriculture income comes from tenants who pay annual rents. The prices paid for oil, gas and timber depend on national and international market conditions.

Table of Contents

We do not separate financial information in the enclosed financial statements because neither agriculture nor timber produce as much as 15% of total receipts.

 

Employees

 

The Company currently employs a total of five persons, including officers, in a part-time capacity. The Company is subject to no union contracts nor does the Company have any hospitalization, pension, profit sharing or deferred compensation plans. Walker Louisiana Properties employs its own staff, none of whom are Company officers or directors. One employee of Walker is devoted full-time to Agriculture and one employee of Walker is devoted full-time to Timber.

 

Customers

 

The Company had two customers, the sales to which equal or exceed 10% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues. In 2003, sales to Cox & Perkins accounted for 41% of revenues, sales to Kerr-McGee accounted for 13% of revenues and sales to Riceland Petroleum accounted for 9% of oil and gas revenues. All income is derived from domestic customers.

 

Item 2. PROPERTIES

 

The Company owns a total of 13,941 net acres of agricultural, timber and marsh land in fee in the Parishes of Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, LaFourche, Sabine, St. Landry and Vermilion in Louisiana. Of this total 6,431 acres represents the Company’s one-sixth undivided ownership in 35,088 acres which is managed by an entity called Walker Louisiana Properties, a joint venture, for the benefit of the six owners. The remainder of the Company’s acreage is managed by the Company’s officers. All amounts on the financial statements included herein reflect the combined totals of the two operations.

 

The table below shows, for the years ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, net gas produced in thousands of cubic feet (MCF) and net oil (including condensate and natural gas liquids) produced in barrels (Bbl), average sales prices and average production costs, relating to oil and gas attributable to the royalty interests and working interest held by the Company.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION

 

The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with the other financial information and the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s operations that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Unless legally required, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Table of Contents

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are:

 

  changes in the prices of oil, gas, and forest and agricultural products;

 

  our ability to attract customers to perform exploration and development for oil and gas on our land, or the potential failure of our customers to discover or extract additional oil and gas deposits;

 

  technological developments;

 

  the potential failure by customers to achieve expected production from existing and future oil and gas development projects, or potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects;

 

  competition in the oil and gas industries and the competitiveness of alternate energy sources or product substitutes;

 

  potential liability for remedial actions under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation, or significant investment or product changes under existing or future environmental regulations; and

 

  the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies.

 

In addition, such statements could be affected by general domestic in international economic and political conditions. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed herein also could have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

We own and receive income from land located in Southwest Louisiana. Over 70% of our income is derived from mineral activity conducted by others. It consists of oil and gas royalties, oil and gas leases and seismic leases. We also receive rental income from farm land and income from the sale of timber grown on our land.

 

Our future oil and gas income is dependent to some extent on future technological developments that could result in the discovery of oil and gas deposits that are currently unknown or uneconomical to recover. At some point in time current oil and gas production will be depleted. We do not conduct exploration, development or production activities. Our oil and gas income is derived from Company lands and has been discovered and produced by others under mineral leases from the Company. Consequently, the Company has little control over its oil and gas income.

 

We are placing more emphasis on growing timber for the future of the Company. We are also always looking to purchase additional land in our area at the right price.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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 reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include the following items:

 

Our accounts receivable consists of incomes received after year end for royalties produced prior to year end. When there are royalties that have not been received at the time of the preparation of the financial statements for months in the prior year, we estimate the amount to be received based on the last month’s royalties that were received from that particular company. We do not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts because we can confirm virtually all of our receivables before they are booked as income.

 

Our past inventory was for harvested crops. Since all agricultural income is now from land rents we no longer have inventory.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109)” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

 

Reforestation expenses are added to the timber asset account and depleted over seven years. As timber is sold the original cost is amortized based on the volume as compared to the original cost. When we purchase land that portion that represents the timber value is set up as an asset labeled timber.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has a current ratio of better than four to one and no long-term debt or contingencies. We have no off balance sheet liabilities. The only material current liability at December 31, 2003, was the dividend on our common stock declared in December and paid in January. Additional sources of liquidity are the Company’s securities available-for-sale and a bank line of credit for $1,000,000. We maintain our liquidity position in order to be able to purchase real estate that might come on the market.

 

We have no current commitments for capital expenditures. Unless an opportunity arises to purchase additional land, we will not need to make capital expenditures in the next twelve months other than normal reforesting expenditures.

Table of Contents

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including expected cash flows from operating activities, existing cash balances and existing credit facility, will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Oil and gas production costs were higher as a percentage of revenues in 2003 over 2002 due to the write-off of the remaining amount for minerals from 1998 purchase of real estate. Oil and gas production costs were higher as a percentage of revenue in 2003 over 2002 due to both the write-off but also because oil and gas properties income were a smaller proportion of total revenues in 2001 and agricultural and timber revenues were a larger proportion of total revenues in 2001. Other income as a percentage of revenues was higher in 2001 compared to 2002 and 2003 due to a realized gain on investments. Other income as a percentage of revenues was lower in 2003 compared to 2002 and 2001 partly due to greater total revenues.

 

Net income increased 48.4% in 2003 over 2002 due primarily to an increase in the average sales price of both oil and gas. Gas production was down 2.6% and oil production was down 22.5%. Oil and gas revenues peaked in 1999 and continued high in 2000 primarily due to the Company’s income from the North Indian Village Field. These wells were depleted, plugged and abandoned in 2002. In 2002 a well

Table of Contents

was completed at South Gordon by Cox and Perkins which has been the largest source of income for 2002 and 2003. The operator believes there is a reasonable possibility this well will continue to produce at current rates through 2005. When production slows it will drop dramatically.

 

Although the Company does not have access to reserve information on the oil and gas wells from which the Company receives income, we engaged an independent geologist, Stanley N. Warburton, to make estimates as to the remaining life of our five largest income sources in 2003. Listed below are the operators, fields, 2003 income and the geologist’s assessment.

 

Cox & Perkins –

   South Gordon Field - $736,700. One well. Began production in 2001. Declining life of 4 to 6 years.

Kerr, McGee –

   Roanoke Field - $234,100. One well. Began production in 2000. Most of 2003 income was from prior years production. Production had declined 48% by the end of 2003 compared to its peak in 2001. Declining remaining life of 4 to 5 years.

Riceland –

   South Jennings Field - $153,000. Currently 8 wells on a 1,920 acre unit. Been producing since 1940. Declining life of 8 to 10 years.

GulfMark –

   Vinton Field - $130,000. Shallow salt dome production. Current income levels will decline sharply over next 2 years.

Meridian –

   Lakeside Field - $107,500. One well. Production began in 2001. Production declined 20% between 2002 and 2003. Declining remaining life of 6 to 8 years.

 

The Company has a 2.083% royalty interest in one new gas well and a 4.167% royalty interest in a second new gas well both at Castor Creek. No income was received in 2003 from these wells and it is too early to determine their effect on future income.

 

Revenues include $189,722 in oil and gas royalties which were received in 2003, but were attributable to production in prior years. They were held by the operators pending determination of ownership. These revenues will not be recurring. Included in oil and gas expenses is $77,816 for the write-off of the amount remaining on Walker Louisiana Properties books for the purchase of minerals from Fina in 1998. This expense will not be recurring. The net effect of these items was to increase net income by $50,790.

 

Oil and gas expenses were up 98% due entirely to the above write off and higher severance taxes due to higher sales prices.

 

Agriculture income was off 10% from 2002 continuing a three year decline as the Company converted totally to cash rents. This income should stabilize at 2003’s level. Timber income was off 15% due to both lower demand and lower prices.

 

Administrative expenses were up $50,510 or 20.6% over 2002. Of this amount $39,600 was the cost of listing on the American Stock Exchange and $12,633 represents a gift of dirt from Company land to Cameron Parish.

Item 7A. QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Significant Market Risk

 

The Company’s business and operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including:

 

Reliance Upon Oil and Gas Discoveries

 

The Company’s most significant risk is its reliance upon others to perform exploration and development for oil and gas on its land. Future income is dependent on others finding new production on the Company’s land to replace present production as it is depleted. Oil and gas prices as well as new technology will affect the possibility of new discoveries.

 

Commodity Prices

 

All of the Company’s operating income comes from the sale of commodities produced from its real estate; oil and gas, forest products, agriculture products. Fluctuations in these commodity prices will directly impact net income.

 

Interest Rate Risks

 

The Company has no direct exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and minimal direct exposure to interest rates. The Company has an unsecured line of credit with Bank One at their prime rate, but the Company hasn’t utilized this line and has no current plans to do so.

 

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

All financial statements required by Regulation S-X are listed in the Table of Contents to Financial Statements and Supplemental Schedules appearing immediately after the signature page of this Form 10K and are included herein by reference. See Item 14.

Not applicable

 

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designated to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2003, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2003. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

To the Board of Directors

Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc.

Lake Charles, Louisiana

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information on pages 35 through 37 is presented for the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CALCASIEU REAL ESTATE & OIL CO., INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of business:

 

The Company’s business is the ownership and management of land. The primary activities consist of leasing its properties for mineral (oil and gas) and agriculture and raising timber.

 

Significant accounting policies:

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Inventory:

 

Inventory consists of harvested crops valued at estimated selling price at the date of the balance sheet.

 

Pervasiveness of estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment securities:

 

The Company complies with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Under the provisions of this statement, management must make a determination at the time of acquisition whether certain investments in debt and equity securities are to be held as investments to maturity, held as available for sale, or held for trading. Management, under a policy adopted by the board of directors of the Company, made a determination that all debt and equity securities owned at that date and subject to the provisions of the statement would be classified as held available-for-sale.

 

22


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Under the accounting policies provided for investments classified as held available-for-sale, all such debt securities and equity securities that have readily determinable fair value shall be measured at fair value in the balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities shall be excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount (net of income taxes) as a separate component of retained earnings until realized. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest on debt securities is recognized in income as earned, and dividends on marketable equity securities are recognized in income when declared.

 

Property and equipment:

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Major additions are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are charged to income currently. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Earnings per share:

 

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years.

 

Income taxes:

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

There are no intersegment sales reported in the accompanying income statements. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes excluding nonrecurring gains and losses on securities held available for sale. Income before income tax represents net sales less operating expenses and other income and expenses of a general corporate nature. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in the Company’s operations within that industry.
