NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial information included herein, except the balance sheet as of
December 31, 2001, is unaudited. However, such information includes all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of
operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an
entire year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q Report pursuant to certain
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial
statements should be read with the financial statements and notes included in
Parallel's 2001 Form 10-K Report.
We account for our 30.675% interest in First Permian using the equity
method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, we record our
investment in First Permian at cost on the balance sheet. This is increased or
reduced by our proportionate share of First Permian's income or loss, which is
presented as one amount in the statements of operations.
On March 7, 2002, First Permian entered into an Agreement of Sale and
Purchase with Energen Resources Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Energen Corporation (Energen), to sell all of First Permian's oil and gas
properties for $120 million in cash and 3,043,479 shares in Energen stock
approximating $70 million in value. Energen is a publicly traded company listed
on the NYSE. The transaction closed on April 8, 2002. As a 30.675% interest
owner in First Permian, Parallel received its prorata share of the net proceeds,
$5.5 million in cash and 933,589 shares of Energen stock.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications related to accrued preferred stock dividends have
been made to the 2001 amounts to conform to the 2002 presentation.
NOTE 2. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities", marketable securities, such as those owned by Parallel, are
classified as held-for-sale securities and are to be reported at market value,
with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, excluded from earnings
and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The market value
of these securities at June 30, 2002 was approximately $25,673,698. An
unrealized gain of approximately $93,359 was added to stockholders' equity and
was included as comprehensive income.

=============
Revolving Credit Facility
On July 19, 2002, Parallel entered into a loan agreement with First
American Bank, SSB ("New Revolving Facility") to refinance its outstanding
indebtedness. Pursuant to the New Revolving Facility, Parallel may borrow the
lesser of $100,000,000 or the "borrowing base" then in effect. The borrowing
base at July 19, 2002 was $22,222,000 and at August 6, 2002 the borrowing base
was $21,575,570. At the closing of the loan transaction, the outstanding
principal balance was $12,150,000, bearing interest at 4.75%. The total
outstanding principal amount of our bank indebtedness was $12,000,000 at
December 31, 2001 and $12,150,000 at June 30, 2002. The New Revolving Facility
is collateralized by substantially all of Parallel's oil and gas reserves and
933,589 shares of Energen Corporation common stock. The borrowing base
attributable to our oil and gas reserves is subject to redetermination
semi-annually, on or about April 30 and October 31 of each year, beginning
October 31, 2002. The borrowing base attributable to the Energen common stock is
redetermined monthly on or about the last day of the month. The borrowing base,
regardless of any redetermination, will automatically be reduced each month,
commencing on August 31, 2003, and continuing on the last day of each succeeding
month. This monthly commitment reduction will be in an amount equal to the
borrowing base on the day immediately preceding the date of each monthly
commitment reduction, divided by the number of months remaining prior to
maturity of the Revolving Note. The bank may require a redetermination of the
borrowing base and monthly commitment reduction at any time in its sole
discretion. If our repayment obligations to the bank ever exceed the borrowing
base, we will be required to either make a monthly prepayment of principal equal
to the amount of such excess or pledge additional assets as collateral for our
obligations. Indebtedness under the New Revolving Facility matures July 17,
2006.
The unpaid principal balance of the New Revolving Facility bears interest
at the election of Parallel at a rate equal to (i) the bank's base lending rate,
or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus a LIBOR margin of:
. 2.75% per annum whenever the borrowing base usage is equal to or
greater than 75%;
. 2.50% per annum whenever the borrowing base usage is equal to or
greater than 50%; but less than 75%; or
. 2.25% per annum whenever the borrowing base usage is less than 50%.
However, the interest rate may never be less than 4.75%. Interest is due
and payable on the day which the related LIBOR interest period ends.
-8-
In addition to customary affirmative covenants, the loan agreement contains
various restrictive covenants and compliance requirements, including:
. Maintaining certain financial requirements;
. Limitations on additional indebtedness;
. Prohibiting the payment of dividends on our common stock;
. Limitations on the disposition of assets;
. Prohibiting liens (other than in favor of the bank) to exist on any of
our properties;
. Limitations on investments, mergers, forming subsidiaries, affiliate
transactions, changes in accounting methods, rental and lease payments
and derivative transactions; and
. Limitations on the purchase, redemption or retirement of stock.
NOTE 4. PREFERRED STOCK
We have outstanding 974,500 shares of 6% Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.10
par value per share. Cumulative annual dividends of $0.60 per share are payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Each share of Convertible
Preferred Stock may be converted, at the option of the holder, into 2.8571
shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.50 per share,
subject to adjustment in certain events. The Convertible Preferred Stock has a
liquidation preference of $10 per share and has no voting rights, except as
required by law. We may redeem the preferred stock, in whole or part, for $10
per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
NOTE 5. INCOME TAX LIABILITY
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded income tax expense of
$9,584,833 resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $3,447,163. The income
tax expense was largely due to the approximate $33,917,000 of taxable gain
realized on the sale of oil and gas assets of First Permian, L.P. which used
approximately $17,750,000 of $18,670,000 available net operating loss
carryforwards. Our effective tax rate was 34%.
NOTE 6. FULL COST METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
We use the full cost method to account for our oil and gas producing
activities. Under the full cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil
and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a
calculated "ceiling". The ceiling limitation is the discounted estimated
after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and gas properties. In calculating
future net revenues, current prices and costs are generally held constant
indefinitely. The net book value, less related deferred income taxes, is
compared to the ceiling on a quarterly and annual basis. Any excess of the net
book value, less related deferred income taxes, is generally written off as an
expense. Under rules and regulations of the SEC, the excess above the ceiling is
not written off if, subsequent to the end of the quarter or year but prior to
the release of the financial results, prices increased sufficiently such that an
excess above the ceiling would not have existed if the increased prices were
used in the calculations.
At June 30, 2002 our net book value of oil and gas properties, less related
deferred income taxes was below the calculated ceiling. As a result, we were not
required to record a reduction of our oil and gas properties under the full cost
method of accounting at that time.
Parallel accounts for its oil and natural gas exploration and development
activities using the full cost method of accounting. Under this method, all
costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and
natural gas properties, including a portion of our overhead, are capitalized. In
the six month period ended June 30, 2002 overhead costs capitalized were
$568,965.
-9-
NOTE 7. INVESTMENT IN FIRST PERMIAN, L.P.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, First Permian, L.P. had net income
of $97,376.110. Our 30.675% share of the net income and distributions for the
six months ended June 30, 2002, was $30,765,748. At December 31, 2001, we had
recorded cumulative earnings of $840,529 in our investment in First Permian,
L.P. Using the equity method of accounting, our investment is increased or
decreased by our proportionate share of First Permian's net income or loss.
On March 7, 2002, First Permian entered into an Agreement of Sale and
Purchase with Energen Resources Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Energen Corporation (Energen), to sell all of First Permian's oil and gas
properties for $120 million in cash and 3,043,479 shares in Energen stock
approximating $70 million in value. Energen is a publicly traded company listed
on the NYSE. The transaction closed on April 8, 2002. As a 30.675% interest
owner in First Permian, Parallel received its prorata share of the net proceeds,
$5.5 million in cash and 933,589 shares of Energen stock. We still have an
investment of $157,471 in First Permian which we expect to be dissolved during
the second quarter of 2003.
NOTE 8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In January and February, 2002, we purchased put floors with a counterparty
to sell notional volumes of 210,000 Mcf of gas per month for the seven-month
period April, 2002 through October, 2002, at a floor price of $2.40 per Mcf
based on NYMEX-HENRY HUB pricing for a total cost of approximately $391,000. On
May 24, 2002 we purchased additional put floors on volumes of 100,000 Mcf gas
per month for the seven month period from April 2003 through October 2003 at a
floor price of $3.00 per Mcf for a total consideration of approximately
$140,000. These derivatives are not held for trading purposes.
The fair value of the put floors as of June 30, 2002 was $135,773;
therefore, a $394,832 decrease in fair value was recognized as of June 30, 2002
in the Statements of Operations.

NOTE 10. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses
affecting stockholders' equity that, under generally accepted accounting
principles, are excluded from net income. For Parallel, such items consist
primarily of unrealized gains on its investment in 933,589 shares of Energen
Common Stock with a per share price of $27.50 as of June 30, 2002.
As of August 12, 2002 we had sold 136,400 shares of Energen common stock at
a weighted average price of $25.02 per share. This gives Parallel cash proceeds
realized of $3,412,839 and a book loss of $338,161 in relationship to the June
30, 2002 market price of the Energen stock. To the extent that we sell Energen
stock at a price below $27.50 per share, we will incur a loss equal to the
difference between $27.50 and the sales price.
NOTE 11. RECENTLY ANNOUNCED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" and
No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Statement 141 requires that all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2002 be accounted for under the
purchase method and Statement 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized
to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. As of June 30, 2002 there
was no impact on Parallel's financial statements as we have not entered into any
business combination and have not
-11-
acquired goodwill.
Also, the FASB had voted to issue Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" which establishes requirements for the accounting of
removal-type costs associated with asset retirements. The standard is effective
for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2002, with earlier application
encouraged. Parallel is currently assessing the impact on its financial
statements.
On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This pronouncement supersedes FAS
121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of" and eliminates the requirement of Statement 121 to
allocate goodwill to long-lived assets to be tested for impairment Statement 144
also describes a probability-weighted cash flow estimation approach to address
circumstances in which alternative courses of action to recover the carrying
amount of long-lived assets are under consideration or a range is estimated for
the amount of possible future cash flows. The statement also establishes a
"primary-asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a
group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a
long-lived asset to be held and used. The provisions of this statement were
adopted with no impact on the financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal
years.
In April, 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145 "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." Most significantly, this Statement eliminates the requirement
under Statement 4 to aggregate all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt,
and if material, be classified as an extraordinary item. As a result, gains and
losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items
only if they meet the criteria in Opinion 30. Applying the provisions of Opinion
30 will distinguish transactions that are part of an entity's recurring
operations from those that are unusual or infrequent or that meet the criteria
for classification as an extraordinary item. There is no current impact to the
Company as there has been no early extinguishment of debt. In July Parallel
renewed or extended its bank debt and does not believe the impact to the
financial statements has been or will be material.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The standard requires companies to
recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are
incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.
Statement 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002. Parallel expects no impact to our financial
statements as we do not anticipate exiting or disposing of any of our
activities.
NOTE 12. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
At June 30, 2002, we were involved in one lawsuit incidental to our
business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit
will not have a material adverse effect on Parallel's financial position or
results of operations. We are not aware of any threatened litigation. We have
not been a party to any bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, adjustment or
similar proceeding.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
our Financial Statements and the related notes.
OVERVIEW
Strategy
As reported in Parallel's Form 8-K Report filed with the SEC on June 14,
2002, for the foreseeable future, Parallel's primary objective will be to
increase the per share net asset value of its common stock through increasing
reserves, production, cash flow and earnings. Parallel intends to pursue these
objectives in a different manner than in the past. Parallel will attempt to
shift the balance of its investments from properties having high rates of
production in early years to properties with more
-12-
consistent production over a longer term. Parallel will reduce its drilling
risks by dedicating a smaller portion of its capital to high risk projects,
while reserving the majority of its available capital for exploitation and
development drilling opportunities. Obtaining positions in long-lived oil and
gas reserves will be given priority over properties that might provide more cash
flow in the early years of production, but which have shorter reserve lives.
Parallel will also reduce risk by emphasizing acquisition possibilities over
high risk exploration projects.
So Parallel can more effectively implement and pursue its new business
plan, it has added six new employees, almost doubling the size of its staff.
Parallel will systematically decrease its high risk exploration efforts and
focus on established geologic trends where it can utilize the engineering,
operational, financial and technical expertise of its entire staff. Reducing
financial, reservoir, drilling and geological risks and diversifying its
property portfolio will be the principal criteria in the execution of Parallel's
business plan. Although Parallel has concentrated its activities during the last
eight years in South Texas, it intends to diversify the geographical
concentration of its asset base and will consider expanding its operations into
other areas if favorable opportunities arise. In summary, Parallel's new
business plan will:
. focus on projects having less geological risk;
. emphasize exploitation and enhancement activities;
. focus on acquiring producing properties; and
. expand the scope of its operations by diversifying its exploratory and
development efforts, both in and outside of its current areas of
operation.
Although the direction of Parallel's exploration and development activities
will shift from high risk exploratory activities to lower risk development
opportunities, Parallel will continue its efforts, as it has in the past, to
maintain its recurring general and administrative expenses at levels that it
believes are relatively low compared to the size of its overall operations,
utilize advanced technologies, serve as operator in appropriate circumstances,
and reduce operating costs.
The extent to which Parallel is able to implement and follow through with
its business plan will be influenced by:
. the prices it receives for the oil and gas it produces;
. the results of reprocessing and reinterpreting its 3-D seismic data;
. the results of its drilling activities;
. the costs of obtaining high quality field services;
. its ability to find and consummate acquisition opportunities; and
. its ability to negotiate and enter into work to earn arrangements,
joint venture or other similar agreements on terms acceptable to
Parallel.
Significant changes in the prices Parallel receives for its oil and gas,
drilling results, the occurrence of unanticipated events beyond Parallel's
control or other factors may cause it to defer or deviate from its business
plan, including the amounts it has budgeted for its activities.
Investment in First Permian, L.P. In September 1999, we joined with three
privately held oil and gas companies to acquire oil and gas properties from Fina
Oil and Chemical Company. The acquisition was effected through the formation of
First Permian, which entered into a cash merger with a wholly owned subsidiary
of Fina Oil and Chemical Company. The primary assets acquired by First Permian
in the merger are oil and gas reserves and associated assets in producing fields
located in the Permian Basin of west Texas. After giving effect to purchase
price adjustments, First Permian paid to Fina Oil and Chemical Company cash in
the aggregate amount of approximately $92.0 million. The purchase was financed
primarily with senior secured bank borrowings in the amount of $74 million,
proceeds of subordinated notes in the principal amount of $16 million and the
remainder with proceeds from a simultaneous sale of minerals.
First Permian is owned by Parallel and other privately held oil and gas
companies and
-13-
individuals. As of June 30, 2002, Parallel owned a 30.675% common membership
interest in First Permian. We account for our interest in First Permian using
the equity method of accounting, under this accounting method, our investment is
increased or decreased by our proportionate share of First Permian's net income
or loss.
On March 7, 2002, First Permian entered into an Agreement of Sale and
Purchase with an affiliate of Energen Corporation (Energen), to sell all of its
oil and gas properties for $120 million in cash and 3,043,479 shares in Energen
stock approximating $70 million in value. Energen is a publicly traded company
listed on the NYSE. The transaction closed on April 8, 2002. As a 30.675%
interest owner in First Permian, Parallel received its prorata share of the net
proceeds, approximately $5.5 million in cash and 933,589 shares of Energen
stock. We still have an investment of $157,471 in First Permian which we expect
to be dissolved during the second quarter of 2003. As of August 8, 2002 we had
sold 81,400 shares of Energen stock at existing market prices. We presently
intend to periodically sell additional shares of Energen stock depending upon
the existing market conditions and other matters Parallel may consider from time
to time. Under terms of our agreement with Energen, Parallel may sell up to
7,668 shares on any trading day, and up to additional 30,675 shares in block
trades of at least 5,000 shares on any trading day, but not more than 306,750
shares in any calendar month.
Operating Performance. Our operating performance is influenced by several
factors, the most significant of which are the prices we receive for our oil and
gas and production. The world price for oil has overall influence on the prices
we receive for our oil production. The prices received for different grades of
oil are based upon the world price for oil, which is then adjusted based upon
the particular grade. Typically, light oil is sold at a premium, while heavy
grades of crude are discounted. Gas prices we receive are primarily influenced
by seasonal demand, weather, hurricane conditions in the Gulf of Mexico,
availability of pipeline transportation to end users and proximity of our wells
to major transportation pipeline infrastructure and, to a lesser extent, world
oil prices. Additional factors influencing our operating performance include
production expenses, overhead requirements, and cost of capital.
Our oil and gas exploration, development and acquisition activities require
substantial and continuing capital expenditures. Historically, the sources of
financing to fund our capital expenditures have included:
. cash flow from operations,
. sales of our equity securities,
. bank borrowings, and
. industry joint ventures
For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the sales price we received for
our crude oil production averaged $22.29 per barrel compared with $19.86 per
barrel for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and $21.20 per barrel for
the three months ended March 31, 2002. The average sales price we received for
natural gas (excluding any impact from derivative contracts) for the three
months ended June 30, 2002, was $3.39 per mcf compared with $2.37 per mcf for
the three months ended December 31, 2001 and $2.25 per mcf for the three months
ended March 31, 2002. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the average
sales price we received for our crude oil was $26.50 and for our natural gas was
$4.02 per mcf.
Our oil and gas producing activities are accounted for using the full cost
method of accounting. Under this method, we capitalize all costs incurred in
connection with the acquisition of oil and gas properties and the exploration
for and development of oil and gas reserves. See Note 6 to Financial Statements.
These costs include lease acquisition costs, geological and geophysical
expenditures, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells, and
overhead expenses directly related to land acquisition and exploration and
development activities. Proceeds from the disposition of oil and gas properties
are accounted for as a reduction in capitalized costs, with no gain or loss
recognized unless the disposition involves a material change in reserves, in
which case the gain or loss is recognized.
-14-
Depletion of the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including
estimated future development costs, is provided using the equivalent
unit-of-production method based upon estimates of proved oil and gas reserves
and production, which are converted to a common unit of measure based upon their
relative energy content. Unproved oil and gas properties are not amortized, but
are individually assessed for impairment. The cost of any impaired property is
transferred to the balance of oil and gas properties being depleted.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our business activities are characterized by frequent, and sometimes
significant, changes in:
. sources of production;
. product mix (oil vs. gas volumes); and
. the prices we receive for our oil and gas production.
Year-to-year or other periodic comparisons of the results of our operations
can be difficult and may not accurately describe our condition. The following
table compares the results of operations on the basis of equivalent barrels of
oil ("EBO") for the period indicated. An EBO means one barrel of oil equivalent
using the ratio of six Mcf of gas to one barrel of oil.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2002:
Oil and Gas Revenues. Oil and gas revenues decreased $1,982,256 or 41%, to
$2,808,807 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $4,791,063 for the
same period of 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of a 31% decrease in
oil and gas production and a 15% decrease in the average sales price per EBO. We
received $20.84 per EBO in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared with
$24.58 per EBO for the same period of 2001.
Production Costs. Production costs decreased $325,913, or 31%, to $ 721,614
during the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared with $1,047,527 for the
same period of 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower production
taxes and ad valorem taxes associated with lower prices and volumes. Average
production costs remained relatively flat at $5.35 per EBO.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by $1,670,805, or 550%, to $1,974,686 for the three months ended June
30, 2002 from $303,881 for the same period of 2001. The increase was primarily
due to paid and accrued incentive award payments of approximately $1,471,000
related to the First Permian, L.P. divestiture. Excluding the incentive award
payment, general and administrative expenses were $3.74 per EBO for the three
months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $1.56 per EBO for the same period of
2001. The increase in general and administrative expense per EBO, excluding
incentive award payments, is primarily a result of a 31% decrease in production
volumes along with increased directors and officers insurance and legal costs.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Expense. Depreciation, depletion
and amortization expense ("DD&A") decreased by $284,581, or 18%, to
$1,333,166 for the three months
-17-
ended June 30, 2002 compared with $1,617,747 for the same period of 2001
primarily because of a 31% decrease in production volumes. As a percentage of
revenues, DD&A increased to 47% compared to 34% last year, a result of a
decrease in the average sales price per EBO we received in the second quarter of
2002. The DD&A rate per EBO increased to $9.89 for the second quarter of
2002 compared with $8.30 per EBO for the second quarter of 2001.
Equity in Income of First Permian, L.P. As previously discussed in Note 7,
First Permian, L.P., of which Parallel is a 30.675% interest owner, sold all of
its oil and gas properties on April 8, 2002. Parallel received its prorata share
of net proceeds, $5.5 million in cash and 933,589 shares of Energen Stock. Our
share of the net income and distributions for the second quarter was
$31,082.041.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $89,448, or 36%, to $158,207
for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared with $247,655 for the same
period of 2001 due principally to a decrease in the bank's prime rate.
Income Tax Benefit. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June
30, 2002 is 34%. For further discussion see Note 5.
Net Income. We reported net income of $19,661,503 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 compared with net income of $1,214,673 for the three months
ended June 30, 2001. The increase in net income resulted from the equity in
income of First Permian, L.P., dividend income from the Energen stock, partially
offset by accrued incentive award payments to employees and declines in
production volumes and prices.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2002:
Oil and Gas Revenues. Oil and gas revenues decreased $7,299,267, or 60%, to
$4,779,998 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $12,079,265 for the same
period of 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of a 40% decrease in the
average sales price per EBO and a 34% decrease in production. We received $18.15
per EBO in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared with $30.34 per EBO for
the same period of 2001.
Production Costs. Production costs decreased $895,603 or 41%, to $1,270,990
during the first six months of 2002, compared with $2,166,593 for the same
period of 2001. Average production costs per EBO decreased 11%, to $4.83, for
the first six months in 2002 compared to $5.44 for the same period in 2001,
primarily a result of decreased production taxes associated with lower oil and
gas sale prices and a 34% decrease in oil and gas production.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by $1,722,361, or 286%, to $2,324,450 for the first six months of
2002, from $602,089 for the same period of 2001. The increase was primarily due
to paid and accrued incentive award payments of approximately $1,471,000 related
to the First Permian, L.P. divestiture. Excluding the incentive award payments,
general and administrative expenses were $3.20 per EBO in the first six months
of 2002 compared to $1.51 per EBO in the first six months of 2001. The increase
in general and administrative expense per EBO, excluding incentive award
payments, is primarily a result of a 34% decrease in production volumes along
with increased legal and public reporting costs.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Expense. Depreciation, depletion
and amortization expense ("DD&A") decreased by $607,771, or 18%, to
$2,687,796 for the first six months of 2002 compared with $3,295,567 for the
same period of 2001. As a percentage of revenues, the DD&A increased to 56%
when compared to 27% for the prior year six months, a result of a decrease in
the average sales price per EBO we received in the first six months of 2002. The
DD&A rate per EBO increased to $10.21 for the first six months of 2002
compared with $8.28 per EBO for the first six months
of 2001.

Equity in Income of First Permian, L.P. As previously discussed in Note 7,
First Permian, L.P., of which Parallel is a 30.675% interest owner, sold all of
its oil and gas properties on April 8, 2002. Parallel received its prorata share
of net proceeds, $5.5 million in cash and 933,589 shares of Energen Stock. Our
share of the net income and distributions for the first six months. was
$30,765.748.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $163,247, or 34%, to $311,264
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared with $474,511 for the same
period of 2001; due principally to a decrease in the bank's prime rate.
Income Tax Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 we recorded a
tax expense of $9,584,833 . For further discussion see Note 5.
Net Income and Cash Flow from Operations. We reported net income of
$18,892,752 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $5,850,595 for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 The increase in net income resulted from the
equity in income of First Permian, L.P., dividend from the Energen Stock,
partially offset by accrued incentive award payments to the employees and
declines in production volumes and prices.
Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased
$5,190,464 to $5,332,810 compared with $10,523,274 for the six months ended June
30, 2001. The decrease was primarily associated with a decline in production
volumes and prices, an increase in accounts receivable offset by cash proceeds
from the sale of First Permian, L.P.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our capital resources consist primarily of cash flows from our oil and gas
properties and bank borrowings supported by our oil and gas reserves. Our level
of earnings and cash flows depend on many factors, including the prices we
receive for oil and natural gas we produce.
Working capital increased $27,648,009 as of June 30, 2002 compared with
December 31, 2001. Current assets exceeded current liabilities by $27,061,168 at
June 30, 2002 compared with current liabilities exceeding current assets by
$586,841 at December 31, 2001. Working capital increased primarily due to an
increase in current assets of $25,608,478 and a decrease of $2,039,531 in
current liabilities. Current assets increased primarily due to the $25,673,698
recorded for 933,589 shares of Energen Stock. As of August 12, 2002 we had sold
136,400 shares of Energen common stock at a weighted average price of $25.02 per
share. This gives Parallel cash proceeds realized of $3,412,839 and a book loss
of $338,161 in relationship to the June 30, 2002 market price of the Energen
stock. To the extent that we sell Energen stock at a price below $27.50 per
share, we will incur a loss equal to the difference between $27.50 and the sales
price. We presently plan to periodically divest our Energen stock subject to
market conditions in accordance with the stock sales agreement and certain other
matters as Parallel may consider from time to time.
We incurred net property costs of $6,209,098 for the six months ended June
30, 2002, primarily for our oil and gas property acquisition, development, and
enhancement activities. Such costs were financed by the utilization of cash
flows provided by operations, cash distributions from First Permian, L.P. and
bank financing.
Based on our projected oil and gas revenues and related expenses, available
bank borrowings, and the cash and marketable securities we received from the
sale of First Permian's properties, we believe that we will have sufficient
capital resources to fund normal operations, interest expense and principal
reduction payments on bank debt, if required, and preferred stock dividends. We
continually review and consider alternative methods of financing.
-19-
TRENDS AND PRICES
Changes in oil and gas prices significantly affect our revenues, cash flows
and borrowing capacity. Markets for oil and gas have historically been, and will
continue to be, volatile. Prices for oil and gas typically fluctuate in response
to relatively minor changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty, seasonal,
political and other factors beyond our control. We are unable to accurately
predict domestic or worldwide political events or the effects of other such
factors on the prices we receive for our oil and gas. As described under Item 3,
in January 2002 we implemented a hedging strategy of purchasing put floors
covering a portion of our natural gas production.
Our capital expenditure budgets are highly dependent on future oil and gas
prices and will be consistent with internally generated cash flows.
During fiscal year 2002 the average sales price we received for our oil was
approximately $21.77 per barrel while the average sales prices we received for
natural gas was approximately $2.83 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf"). For the
three months ended June 30, 2002, the average price we received for our oil
production was approximately $22.29 per Bbl, while the average price received at
that same date for our natural gas production was approximately $3.39 per Mcf.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information contained herein, this Form 10-Q
Report contains forward-looking statements subject to various risks and
uncertainties that could cause Parallel's actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will",
"expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," "present value,"
"future," "reserves" or other variations thereof or comparable terminology.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences could include, but
are not limited to, those relating to the results of exploratory drilling
activity, changes in oil and natural gas prices, operating risks, availability
of drilling equipment, outstanding indebtedness, changes in interest rates,
dependence on weather conditions, seasonality, expansion and other activities of
competitors, changes in federal or state environmental laws and the
administration of such laws, and the general condition of the economy and our
effect on the securities market. While we believe our forward-looking statements
are based upon reasonable assumptions, these are factors that are difficult to
predict and that are influenced by economic and other conditions beyond our
control. Investors are directed to consider such risks and other uncertainties
discussed in documents filed by Parallel with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our only financial instrument sensitive to changes in interest rates is our
bank debt. Our annual interest costs in 2002 could fluctuate based on short-term
interest rates. As the interest rate is variable and reflects current market
conditions, the carrying value approximates the fair value. The table below
shows principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by
expected maturity dates. Weighted average interest rates were determined using
the minimum interest rate to be paid pursuant to Parallel's new loan entered
into on July 19, 2002.
June June June June Fair
2003 2004 2005 2006 Total Value
------------ ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------ ------------
(In 000's, except interest rates)
Variable rate debt:
Revolving facility (secured) $3,713 $4,050 $4,050 $337 $12,150 $12,150
Average interest rate 4.75% 4.75% 4.75% 4.75%
At July 19, 2002, we had bank loans in the amount of $12,150,000
outstanding at an average interest rate of 4.75%. Borrowings under our new
credit facility bear interest, at our election, at (i) the
-20-
bank's base rate or (ii) the libor rate, plus a libor margin, but in no event
less than 4.75%. As a result, our annual interest costs in 2002 could fluctuate
based on short-term interest rates. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding
during 2002, the impact on interest expense of a one-half of one percent change
in the average interest rate above the 4.75% floor would be approximately
$60,750. As the interest rate is variable and is reflective of current market
conditions, the carrying value approximates the fair value.
Our major market risk exposure is the risk of decline in fair value of our
933,589 shares of Energen common stock. As of June 30, 2002 Parallel recorded an
unrealized gain of approximately $93,359 as comprehensive income in
stockholders' equity. As of August 12, 2002 we had sold 136,400 shares of
Energen common stock at a weighted average price of $25.02 per share. This gives
Parallel cash proceeds realized of $3,412,839 and a book loss of $338,161 in
relationship to the June 30, 2002 market price of the Energen stock. To the
extent that we sell Energen stock at a price below $27.50 per share, we will
incur a loss equal to the difference between $27.50 and the sales price. We
presently intend to periodically sell additional shares of Energen stock
depending upon the existing market conditions and other matters Parallel may
consider from time to time. Under terms of our agreement with Energen, Parallel
may sell up to 7,668 shares on any trading day and up to additional 30,675
shares in block trades of at least 5,000 shares on any trading day, but not more
than 306,750 shares in any calendar months.
Additional market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to our oil and
natural gas production. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse
changes in oil and natural gas prices. Realized pricing is primarily driven by
the prevailing domestic price for crude oil and spot prices applicable to the
region in which we produce natural gas. Historically, prices received for oil
and gas production have been volatile and unpredictable. Pricing volatility is
expected to continue. Oil prices ranged from a monthly low of $16.81 per barrel
to a monthly high of $33.95 per barrel during 2001. Natural gas prices we
received during 2001 ranged from a monthly low of $1.08 per Mcf to a monthly
high of $11.81 per Mcf. During 2002 oil prices ranged from a monthly low of
$14.26 to a monthly high of $26.74. Natural gas prices we received during 2002
ranged from a monthly low of $1.05 per Mcf to a monthly high of $4.21 per Mcf. A
significant decline in the prices of natural gas or oil could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In January, 2002, our Board determined that Parallel should hedge natural
gas prices for one-half of its natural gas production. While hedging
arrangements reduce exposure to losses as a result of unfavorable price changes,
they may also limit the ability to benefit from favorable market price changes.
After reviewing alternative strategies, we purchased put options on gas prices
to create a sales price floor for part of our gas production. We believe put
floors provide us with the advantage of no margin requirements, participating in
the upside of potential increases in natural gas prices and establishing a
minimum selling price at a fixed cost. However, put floors can also be expensive
if markets do not change, and in most cases the protection of a floor will not
be immediately realized at current levels. In January and February, 2002, we
purchased put floors with a counterparty to sell notional volumes of 210,000 Mcf
of gas per month for the seven-month period April, 2002 through October, 2002,
at a floor price of $2.40 per Mcf based on NYMEX-HENRY HUB pricing for a total
cost of approximately $391,200. On May 24, 2002 we purchased additional put
floors on volumes of 100,000 Mcf gas per month for the seven month period from
April 2003 through October 2003 at a floor price of $3.00 per Mcf for a total
consideration of approximately $140,000. These put floors are not held for
trading purposes and are not accounted for as hedging activities in our
financial statements.
The fair value of the put floors as of June 30, 2002 was $135,773;
therefore, a $394,832 decrease in fair value was recognized as of June 30, 2002
in the Statements of Operations.
The following table illustrates our gas hedge as of June 30, 2002.
