 effect of an accounting change and extraordinary item were $10.3 million for the current three-month period compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2000.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company reported a loss of $2.5 million, or $0.13 per share, as compared with a loss of $2.3 million, or $0.12 per share, in the same period in 2000. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a loss of $640,000 related to the change in the fair value of its standby loan embedded derivative and a loss of $1.3 million related to the ineffective portion of its cash flow hedges A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to the variability of cash flow that

, both as discussed more fully below. The Company recognized a loss of $4.0 million on the standby loan embedded derivative in the second quarter of 2000. The loss for the second quarter of 2000 includes reorganization costs of $682,000 while the second quarter of 2001 includes a reduction in the previously recognized reorganization costs of $950,000.

Subsequent changes in fair value for the ineffective portion of derivatives qualifying as hedges and for derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings.

The Company has entered into certain arrangements that fix a minimum and maximum price range for a portion of its future crude oil and natural gas production. These hedge arrangements qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 whereby the fair value of the cash flow hedges is recorded on the balance sheet as an asset or liability and the subsequent changes in the fair value for the effective portion of the hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income, which is included in shareholders' equity Shareholders' Equity

A firms' total assets minus its total liabilities. Equivalently, it is share capital plus retained earnings minus treasury shares. Shareholders' equity is the amount by which a company is financed through common and preferred shares.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had issued senior subordinated notes with principal amounts aggregating $83.2 million. These senior subordinated notes, herein referred to as the "standby loan", bear interest at a minimum annual rate of 15% plus additional contingent interest contingent interest n. an interest in real property which, according to the deed (or a will or trust), a party will receive only if a certain event occurs or certain circumstances happen. , after March 31, 2001, in an amount equal to 1/2% for every $.25 that the actual price for the Company's crude oil and natural gas production exceeds $15 per barrel of oil equivalent up to a maximum of 10% additional interest per year. Any time the average realized price exceeds $20 per barrel of oil equivalent, the Company will have to pay the 10% maximum additional interest. This additional contingent interest feature of the standby loan is considered to be an embedded derivative under SFAS No. 133 whereby the fair value of the additional contingent interest is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized through earnings. The fair market value of the estimated future contingent interest payments of $21.0 million as of June 30, 2001 is recorded as long term accrued derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. A loss on standby loan embedded derivative of $640,000 was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2001 related to the change in the fair market value of this derivative during the three-month period.

 decreased 14% from $23.9 million during the second quarter of 2000 to $20.5 million during the second quarter of 2001, even though there was an overall increase in production, primarily due to a 17% decrease in the price received for crude oil. Of this 17% decrease, 8% was attributable to crude oil hedging losses of $2.0 million during the current three-month period and 9% was attributable to decreases in the actual prices received from the sale of our crude oil during the current quarter in 2001 as compared to the same quarter in 2000. Production expenses increased 6% from $5.8 million during the second quarter of 2000 to $6.2 million during the second quarter of 2001 primarily due to increases in crude oil production and increases in electrical and well repair costs.

During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company drilled six wells, including two Mississippi Mississippi, state, United States

The Company has no material capital commitments related to budgeted capital expenditures and is consequently able to adjust the level of expenditures based on available cash flow.
