ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is engaged in the exploration, development, production and marketing of natural gas, crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The Company also engages in the hard minerals business through non-operated joint ventures and royalty arrangements in several coal, trona (natural soda ash) and industrial mineral mines. The terms "Anadarko" and "Company" refer to Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The information, as furnished herein, reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, and for the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. In preparing financial statements, Management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, Management reviews its estimates, including those related to litigation, environmental liabilities, income taxes and determination of proved reserves. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Changes in Accounting Principles    In 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recorded in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. See Note 3.

In 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation using the prospective method described in SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." See Note 2.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees," was issued in November 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions in 2002. See Notes 13 and 14. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are applicable to guarantees issued or modified in 2003 and in later years and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments   Anadarko uses derivative instruments for various risk management purposes. Derivative instruments utilized to manage or reduce commodity price risk related to the Company's equity production are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Under this statement, all derivatives are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Realized gains and losses are recognized in sales when the underlying physical gas and oil production is sold. Accordingly, realized derivative gains and losses are generally offset by similar changes in the realized value of the underlying physical gas and oil production. Realized derivative gains and losses are reflected in the average sales price of the physical gas and oil production.

Accounting for unrealized gains and losses is dependent on whether the derivative instruments have been designated and qualify as part of a hedging relationship. Derivative instruments may be designated as a hedge of exposure to changes in fair values, cash flows or foreign currencies, if certain conditions are met. Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments that do not meet the conditions to qualify for hedge accounting are recognized currently in other (income) expense.

If the hedged exposure is to changes in fair value, the gains and losses on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting losses and gains on the hedged item, are recognized currently in earnings. Consequently, if gains and losses on the derivative instrument and the related hedge item do not completely offset, the difference (i.e., ineffective portion of the hedge) is recognized currently in earnings.

If the hedged exposure is a cash flow exposure, the effective portion of the gains and losses on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gains and losses from the derivative instrument, if any, as well as any amounts excluded from the assessment of the cash flow hedges' effectiveness are recognized currently in other (income) expense.

Derivative instruments, including physical delivery purchase and sale contracts, utilized in the Company's energy trading activities are accounted for under the mark-to-market accounting method pursuant to SFAS No. 133. Under this method, the derivatives are revalued in each accounting period and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the statement of income and carried as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet.

The Company's firm transportation keep-whole agreement and the derivative financial instruments used in the management of the price risk associated with the keep-whole agreement are accounted for under the mark-to-market accounting method pursuant to SFAS No. 133. Under this method, the agreement and the derivatives are revalued in each accounting period and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the statement of income and carried as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet.

The Company's derivative instruments are generally either exchange traded or valued by reference to a commodity that is traded in a liquid market. Valuation is determined by reference to readily available public data. Option valuations are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and verified against third-party quotations. The fair value of the short-term portion of the firm transportation keep-whole agreement is calculated with quoted natural gas basis prices, while the fair value of the long-term portion is estimated based on historical natural gas basis prices, discounted at 10% per year. See Note 7.

Earnings Per Share The Company's basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts have been computed based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS amounts include the effect of the Company's outstanding stock options and performance-based stock awards under the treasury stock method and outstanding put options under the reverse treasury stock method, if including such equity instruments is dilutive. Diluted EPS amounts also include the net effect of the Company's convertible debentures and Zero Yield Puttable Contingent Debt Securities (ZYP-CODES) assuming the conversions occurred at the beginning of the year or the date of issuance, if including such potential common shares is dilutive. See Note 9.

New Accounting Principles   FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," was issued in January 2003. FIN No. 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. It applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For entities created prior to this date, FIN No. 46 is effective for the third quarter 2003. The Company is evaluating the impact of FIN No. 46 on accounting for and the possible restructuring of its synthetic leases. See Note 13. If the Company's synthetic leases are not restructured prior to July 2003, the current synthetic lease related entities will be consolidated with the Company. The Company believes this would increase properties and equipment by approximately $220 million with a corresponding increase in long-term debt of $232 million. Any impact on the income statement woul d be a cumulative effect adjustment equal to the difference between the fair value of the assets and liabilities recorded related to the consolidated variable interest entities and is not expected to be material.

SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued April 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities that fall within the scope of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have any impact on the financial statements.

2.  Stock-Based Compensation SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. SFAS No. 123 allows an entity to continue measuring compensation costs for these instruments using Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In 2003, the Company voluntarily changed to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for all grants after January 1, 2003 using the prospective method described in SFAS No. 148. Anadarko applies APB No. 25 in accounting for prior grants whereby no compensation expense is recognized for stock options granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of Anadarko stock on the date of grant.

If compensation expense for all stock option grants had been determined using the fair value method, the Company's net income and EPS would have been as shown in the pro forma amounts below:

3. Asset Retirement Obligations The majority of Anadarko's asset retirement obligations relate to the plugging and abandonment of oil and gas properties. In 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, which requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recorded in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The change was effective January 2003, and the related cumulative adjustment to net income was an increase of $47 million ($74 million before taxes) or $0.18 per share (diluted). Additionally, the Company recorded an asset retirement obligation liability of $278 million and an increase to net properties and equipment and other assets of $352 million. The application of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Company's depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, net income or net income per share in the first quarter of 2003. There was no impact on the Company's cash flow as a result of adopting SFAS No. 143.

The following table provides a rollforward of the asset retirement obligations for the current period:

At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company's investment in countries where reserves have not been established was $66 million and $63 million, respectively.

Total interest costs incurred during the first quarter of 2003 and 2002 were $94 million and $87 million, respectively. Of these amounts, the Company capitalized $34 million and $38 million during the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Capitalized interest is included as part of the cost of oil and gas properties. The interest rates for capitalization are based on the Company's weighted average cost of borrowings used to finance the expenditures applied to costs excluded.

In addition to capitalized interest, the Company also capitalized internal costs of $52 million and $43 million during the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. These internal costs were directly related to exploration and development activities and are included as part of the cost of oil and gas properties.

At March 31, 2003, $745 million of notes, debentures and securities will mature or may be put to Anadarko within the next twelve months. In accordance with SFAS No. 6, "Classification of Short-term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced," $491 million of this amount is classified as long-term debt, since Anadarko has the intent and ability to refinance this debt under the terms of Anadarko's Bank Credit Agreements.

In April 2003, Anadarko redeemed for cash its callable Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due 2020. Anadarko funded the $384 million redemption with available credit facilities that carry a lower effective interest rate. Anadarko paid $556.46 per debenture, reflecting the issue price plus accrued interest at 3.5%.

In May 2003, the Company issued $350 million principal amount of 3.25% Notes due 2008. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to reduce floating interest rate debt that was incurred in April 2003 to redeem the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due 2020.

7. Financial Instruments     

Commodity Derivative Instruments     The Company is exposed to price risk from changing commodity prices. Management believes it is prudent to minimize the variability in cash flows on a portion of its oil and gas production. To meet this objective, the Company enters into various types of commodity derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changing commodity prices. The Company also uses fixed price physical delivery sales contracts to accomplish this objective. The types of instruments utilized by the Company may include futures, swaps and options.

Anadarko also enters into commodity derivative instruments (options, futures and swaps) for trading purposes with the objective of generating profits from exposure to changes in the market price of natural gas and crude oil. Commodity derivative instruments are also used to meet customers' pricing requirements while achieving a price structure consistent with the Company's overall pricing strategy. In addition, the Company may use swap agreements to reduce exposure to losses on its firm transportation keep-whole commitment with Duke Energy Field Services, Inc. (Duke). Essentially all of the derivatives used for trading purposes have a term of less than one year, with most having a term of less than three months.

Futures contracts are generally used to fix the price of expected future oil and gas sales at major industry trading locations; e.g., Henry Hub, Louisiana for gas and Cushing, Oklahoma for oil. Settlements of futures contracts are guaranteed by the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) or the International Petroleum Exchange and have nominal credit risk. Swap agreements are generally used to fix or float the price of oil and gas at major trading locations. Basis swaps are used to fix the price differential between the price of gas at Henry Hub and various other market locations. Swap agreements expose the Company to credit risk to the extent the counter-party is unable to meet its settlement commitment. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of each counter-party. In addition, the Company routinely exercises its contractual right to net realized gains against realized losses in settling with its swap counter-parties. Options are generally used to fix a floor and a ceiling price (collar) for the Company's expected future oil and gas sales. The Company buys and sells options through exchanges as well as in the over-the-counter market.

Cash Flow Hedges At March 31, 2003, the Company had option and swap contracts in place to fix floor and ceiling prices on a portion of expected future sales of equity gas and oil production. The Company has option contracts to hedge its exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with sales of oil production that extend through December 2004 and associated with sales of gas production that extend through December 2005. Swap agreements to hedge the Company's exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with sales of oil production extend through December 2004 and associated with sales of gas production that extend through December 2004. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a net unrealized loss of $219 million before taxes, or $139 million after taxes, on derivative instruments entered into to hedge production recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income compared to a net unrealized los s of $128 million before taxes, or $81 million after taxes, at December 31, 2002. Other income for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 included $4 million and $11 million of net losses, respectively, related to derivative instruments. These losses were primarily due to recognition of unrealized losses related to those hedges that did not qualify for hedge accounting and hedge ineffectiveness. Approximately $92 million after taxes of net losses in the accumulated other comprehensive income balance as of March 31, 2003 are expected to be reclassified into oil and gas sales during 2003 as the hedged transactions occur.

As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had the following volumes under derivative contracts related to its oil and gas producing activities (non-trading activities). The difference between the fair values in the table and the unrealized gain (loss) before income taxes recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income is due to premiums, recognition of unrealized gains and losses on certain derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting, hedge ineffectiveness and foreign currency hedges.

A 2-way collar is a combination of options, a sold call and purchased put. The purchased put establishes a minimum price (floor) and the sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling) the Company will receive for the volumes under contract. A 3-way collar is a combination of options, a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put. The purchased put establishes a minimum price unless the market price falls below the sold put, at which point the minimum price would be NYMEX plus the difference between the purchased put and the sold put strike price. The sold call establishes a maximum price the Company will receive for the volumes under contract.

Firm Transportation Keep-Whole Agreement     Anadarko Holding Company (Anadarko Holding) was a party to several long-term firm gas transportation agreements that supported its gas marketing program within its gathering, processing and marketing (GPM) business segment, which was sold in 1999 to Duke. Most of the GPM's long-term firm transportation contracts were transferred to Duke in the GPM disposition. One contract was retained, but is managed and operated by Duke. Anadarko is not responsible for the operations of the contracts and does not utilize the associated transportation assets to transport the Company's natural gas. As part of the GPM disposition, Anadarko Holding agreed to pay Duke if transportation market values fall below the fixed contract transportation rates, while Duke will pay Anadarko Holding if the transportation market values exceed the contract transportation rates (keep-whole agreement). This keep-whole agreement will be in effect until t he earlier of each contract's expiration date or February 2009. The Company may periodically use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure under the Duke keep-whole agreement to potential decreases in future transportation market values. While derivatives are intended to reduce the Company's exposure to declines in transportation market rates, they also limit the potential to benefit from market price increases. Due to decreased liquidity, the use of derivative instruments to manage this risk is generally limited to the forward twelve months. Net receipts from Duke for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $9 million and $12 million, respectively. This keep-whole agreement and any associated derivative instruments are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis.

The fair value of the short-term portion of the firm transportation keep-whole agreement is calculated with quoted natural gas basis prices. Basis is the difference in value between gas at various delivery points and the NYMEX gas futures contract price. Management believes that natural gas basis price quotes beyond the next twelve months are not reliable indicators of fair value due to decreasing liquidity. Accordingly, the fair value of the long-term portion is estimated based on historical natural gas basis prices, discounted at 10% per year. Management also periodically evaluates the supply and demand factors (such as expected drilling activity, anticipated pipeline construction projects, expected changes in demand at pipeline delivery points, etc.) that may impact the future market value of the firm transportation capacity to determine if the estimated fair value should be adjusted. The Company recognized other income of $35 million and other expense of $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, related to the keep-whole agreement and associated derivative instruments. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, other current assets included $16 million and zero, accounts payable included zero and $5 million and other long-term liabilities included $63 million and $68 million, respectively, related to the keep-whole agreement and associated derivative instruments.

Anticipated discounted and undiscounted liabilities (assets) for the firm transportation keep-whole agreement at March 31, 2003 are as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, options for 9.0 million and 1.4 million average shares, respectively, of common stock were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of common stock for the periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, put options for 1.0 million shares of common stock were excluded because the put options' exercise price was less than the average market price of common stock for the period.

13.  Commitments     

Synthetic Leases     Anadarko has two lease arrangements for its corporate office buildings in The Woodlands, Texas. The development and acquisition of the properties were financed by special purpose entities (SPEs) sponsored by a financial institution. The total amount funded under these leases was $213 million. The SPEs are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements, and based on the terms of the agreements, the Company has accounted for these arrangements as operating leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases."

The initial lease term for each lease is five years. Monthly lease payments are based on the London interbank borrowing rate applied against the lease balance. The leases contain various covenants including covenants regarding the Company's financial condition. Default under the leases, including violation of these covenants, could require the Company to purchase the facilities for a specified amount, which approximates the lessor's original cost ($213 million). As of March 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

At the end of the lease term, the Company has an option to either purchase the facilities for the purchase option amount of the lease balance plus any outstanding lease payments or to assist the SPEs in the sale of the properties. The Company has provided a residual value guarantee for any deficiency if the properties are sold for less than the sale option amount ($178 million at March 31, 2003). In addition, the Company is entitled to any proceeds from a sale of the properties in excess of the purchase option amount.

If for either of these leases, the Company determines that it is probable that the expected fair value of the property at the end of the lease term will be less than the purchase option amount, the Company will accrue the expected loss on a straight line basis over the remaining lease term. Currently, Management does not believe it is probable that the fair market value of either of these properties will be less than the purchase option amount at the end of the lease term. As such, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees as of March 31, 2003.

In addition, the Company has a lease payment obligation of $8 million related to an aircraft operating lease financed by a synthetic lease. This synthetic lease has a residual value guarantee for any deficiency if the aircraft is sold for less than the maximum lessee risk amount (approximately $11 million). In addition, the Company is entitled to any proceeds from a sale of the aircraft in excess of the maximum lessor risk amount (approximately $14 million). No liability has been recorded related to this guarantee.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company is evaluating the impact of the 2003 adoption of FIN No. 46 on accounting for and the possible restructuring of the synthetic leases.

Production Platform     In 2002, the Company signed an agreement under which a floating production platform for its Marco Polo discovery in Green Canyon Block 608 of the Gulf of Mexico will be installed. The other party to the agreement will construct and own the platform and production facilities that upon completion, expected in late 2003, will be operated by Anadarko. The agreement provides that Anadarko dedicate its production from Green Canyon Block 608 and 11 other Green Canyon blocks to the production facilities. The agreement requires a monthly demand charge of slightly over $2 million for five years beginning at the time of project completion and a processing fee based upon production throughput. The agreement does not contain any purchase options, purchase obligations or value guarantees.

14.  Contingencies

General     The Company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits and is involved in governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, royalty claims, contract claims and environmental claims. The Company has also been named as a defendant in various personal injury claims, including numerous claims by employees of third-party contractors alleging exposure to asbestos and benzene while working at a refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas, which Anadarko Holding sold in segments in 1987 and 1989. While the ultimate outcome and impact on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, Management believes that the resolution of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company, although results of operations and cash flow could be significantly impacted in the reporting periods in which such matters are resolved. Discussed below are several specific proceeding s.

Royalty Litigation     During September 2000, the Company was named as a defendant in a case styled U.S. of America ex rel. Harold E. Wright v. AGIP Company, et al. (the "Gas Qui Tam case") filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Lufkin Division. This lawsuit generally alleges that the Company and 118 other defendants improperly measured and otherwise undervalued natural gas in connection with a payment of royalties on production from federal and Indian lands. The case has been transferred to the U.S. District Court, Multi-District Litigation Docket pending in Wyoming. Based on the Company's present understanding of the various governmental and False Claims Act proceedings described above, the Company believes that it has substantial defenses to these claims and intends to vigorously assert such defenses. However, if the Company is found to have violated the Civil False Claims Act, the Company could be subject to a variety of sanctions, including treble damages and substantial monetary fines. Motions to dismiss on the grounds that plaintiffs did not provide new information for the government to file suit upon were filed in January 2003, with a hearing date expected in the third quarter of 2003.

A group of royalty owners purporting to represent Anadarko Holding's gas royalty owners in Texas (Neinast, et al.) was granted class action certification in December 1999, by the 21st Judicial District Court of Washington County, Texas, in connection with a gas royalty underpayment case against the Company. This certification did not constitute a review by the Court of the merits of the claims being asserted. The royalty owners' pleadings did not specify the damages being claimed, although a demand for damages in the amount of $100 million was asserted. The Company appealed the class certification order. A favorable decision from the Houston Court of Appeals decertified the class. The royalty owners did not appeal this matter to the Texas Supreme Court and the decision from the Houston Court of Appeals became final in the second quarter of 2002. The royalty owners recently filed a new petition alleging that the class may properly be brought so long as "sub-class" groups are broken o ut. The Company is vigorously contesting this new petition.

A class action lawsuit entitled Gilbert H. Coulter, et al. v. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation has been certified in the 26th Judicial District Court, Stevens County, Kansas. In this action, the royalty owners contend that royalty was underpaid as a result of the deduction for certain post-production costs in the calculation of royalty. The Company believes that its method of calculating royalty was proper and that its gas was marketable in the condition produced, and thus plaintiffs' claims are without merit. This case was certified as a class action in August 2000 and was tried in February 2002. It is uncertain at this time when the trial court will render its ruling.

A royalty owner action styled Texas Osage Royalty Pool, Inc. v. UPRG, Inc., UP Fuels, Inc., et al. filed in January 1997 in the 335th District Court of Lee County, Texas has become active during the first quarter of 2003. The case involves allegations that Anadarko Holding (formerly UPRG, Inc.) failed to properly pay royalties due Texas Osage. In addition, the plaintiff contends that Anadarko Holding failed to comply with express and implied provisions of various leases between April 1993 and the present. The claimants continue to be extremely slow in providing details of their claims, and have only recently sent document requests and deposition notices indicating they intend to pursue the claims in earnest. The Company is vigorously contesting the claims and believes royalties were properly paid based upon prices received in sales made to third-party purchasers or at sales prices comparable to third-party sales. While no expert reports have been provided to date, the Company antici pates the claimants will seek approximately $5 million to $7 million in damages and attorney fees. Trial of this matter has now been set for October 2003.

CITGO Litigation     CITGO Petroleum Corporation's (CITGO) claims arise out of an Asset Purchase and Contribution Agreement in 1987 whereby Anadarko Holding's predecessor sold a refinery located in Corpus Christi, Texas, to CITGO's predecessor. After the sale of the refinery, numerous individuals living near the refinery sued CITGO (the Neighborhood Litigation) thereby implicating the Asset Purchase and Contribution Agreement indemnity provision. CITGO and Anadarko Holding eventually entered into a settlement agreement to allocate, on an interim basis, each party's liability for defense and liability cost in that and related litigation. That agreement provides that once the Neighborhood Litigation and certain related claims are resolved, then the parties will determine their final indemnity obligations to each other through binding arbitration. At the present time, Anadarko Holding and CITGO have agreed to defer arbitrating the allocation of responsibility for this liability in order to focus their efforts on a global settlement. Arbitration will resume upon request of either CITGO or Anadarko Holding. Negotiations and discussions with CITGO continue. Anadarko Holding has offered to settle all outstanding issues for approximately $4 million and a liability for this amount has been accrued.

Kansas Ad Valorem Tax

General     The Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 allowed a "severance, production or similar" tax to be included as an add-on, over and above the maximum lawful price charged for natural gas. Based on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ruling that the Kansas ad valorem tax was such a tax, the Company collected the Kansas ad valorem tax.

Background of PanEnergy Litigation FERC's ruling regarding the ability of producers to collect the Kansas ad valorem tax was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit). The Court held in June 1988 that FERC failed to provide a reasoned basis for its findings and remanded the case to FERC.

Ultimately, the D.C. Circuit issued a decision on August 2, 1996 ruling that producers must refund all Kansas ad valorem taxes collected relating to production since October 1983. The Company filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court. That petition was denied on May 12, 1997.

PanEnergy Litigation   On May 13, 1997, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas against PanEnergy seeking declaration that pursuant to prior agreements Anadarko is not required to issue refunds to PanEnergy for the principal amount of $14 million (before taxes) and, if the petition for adjustment is denied in its entirety by FERC with respect to PanEnergy refunds, interest in an amount of $38 million (before taxes). The Company also sought from PanEnergy the return of the $1 million (before taxes) charged against income in 1993 and 1994. In October 2000, the U.S. Magistrate issued recommendations concerning motions for summary judgment previously filed by both parties. In essence, the Magistrate's recommendation finds that the Company should be responsible for refunds attributable to the time period following August 1, 1985 while Duke Energy (as the successor company to Anadarko Production Company) should be responsible for refunds attributable to the time period before August 1, 1985.

In 2001, the Company paid $15 million for settlement of the liability for Kansas ad valorem tax reimbursements for the interstate portion of this matter. Anadarko's net income for 2001 included a $15 million charge (before taxes) related to the settlement agreement. The remaining dispute between the Company and PanEnergy is attributable to the Cimmaron River System (CRS). The Company filed a settlement agreement, which has been approved, in the CRS matter during January 2003. The Company will pay approximately $5 million under the CRS settlement agreement during the second quarter of 2003 and a liability for this amount has been accrued.

Other Litigation The Company has a reserve of about $2 million for Kansas ad valorem tax refunds. This amount reflects all principal and interest which may be due at the conclusion of all regulatory proceedings and litigation to parties other than PanEnergy.

Lease Agreement     The Company, through one of its affiliates, is a party to a lease agreement (base lease) for the leveraged lease financing of the Corpus Christi West Plant Refinery (West Plant) with an initial term expiring December 31, 2003, and successive renewal periods lasting through January 31, 2011. At the conclusion of the initial term of the base lease, any renewal period or January 31, 2011, the Company has the right to purchase the West Plant at the fair market sales value. In connection with the sale by Anadarko Holding of its refining business in 1987 and 1989, the West Plant was subleased to CITGO with sublease payments during the initial term equal to the Company's base lease payments and during any renewal period equal to the lesser of the base lease rental, which will be tied to the annual fair market rental value or a specified maximum amount. Additionally, CITGO has the option under the sublease to purchase the West Plant from the Comp any at the conclusion of the initial term or any renewal term at the fair market sales value, or on January 31, 2011 at a nominal price. If the fair market rental value of the base lease during any renewal term exceeds CITGO's maximum obligation under the sublease, or if CITGO purchases the West Plant on January 31, 2011 and the fair market sales value of the West Plant is greater than the purchase amount specified in the sublease, the Company will be obligated to pay the excess amounts. The Company is unable at this time to determine the fair market rental value or the fair market sales value of the West Plant, but will at least annually evaluate the potential effect of the obligation. Thus, no liability has been recognized as of March 31, 2003.

Guarantees     Anadarko is guarantor for certain obligations of its wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries, which are included in the consolidated financial statements and notes. In addition, the Company is guarantor for specific financial obligations of a trona mining affiliate. The investment in this entity, which is not a consolidated subsidiary, is accounted for using the equity method. The Company has guaranteed a portion of amounts due under a revolving credit agreement and various letters of credit used to secure Industrial Revenue Bonds and environmental surety bonds. The Company's guarantee under the revolving credit agreement expires in 2005 coinciding with the maturity of that agreement. Expiration dates of the Company's guarantees under the letters of credit securing the Industrial Revenue Bonds and environmental surety bonds range from 2003 to 2004; however, it is the intent of the Company to renew these letters of credit and the related guaran tees until the maturity dates of the obligations which range from 2004 to 2018. The amounts the Company would be obligated to pay should the affiliate default on these obligations would be up to $13 million for the revolving credit agreement, $8 million for environmental surety bonds and $15 million for the Industrial Revenue Bonds. No liability has been recognized for these guarantees.

In connection with its various acquisitions, the Company routinely indemnifies the former officers and directors of acquired companies in respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of the acquisition. The Company also agrees to maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance on these individuals with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the acquisition, generally for a period of six years. No liability has been recognized for these indemnifications.

The Company also provides certain indemnifications in relation to dispositions of assets. These indemnifications typically relate to disputes, litigation or tax matters existing at the date of disposition. In connection with a sale of properties in 2001, the Company indemnified the purchaser for the use of certain currency remeasurement losses utilized by the Company in previously filed tax returns, which are currently being evaluated by the taxing authorities. The Company believes it is probable that these losses will be disallowed and will have to be settled with the purchaser in cash. The Company has a $22 million liability recorded for the contingency.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The Company has made in this report, and may from time to time otherwise make in other public filings, press releases and discussions with Company management, forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 concerning the Company's operations, economic performance and financial condition. These forward looking statements include information concerning future production and reserves, schedules, plans, timing of development, contributions from oil and gas properties, and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "target", "goal", "plans", "objective", "should" or similar expressions or variations on such expressions. For such statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. S uch statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements due to a number of factors in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the Company's other public filings, press releases and discussions with Company management. Anadarko undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements. See "Regulatory Matters and Additional Factors Affecting Business" and "Critical Accounting Policies" in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net Income     In the first quarter of 2003, Anadarko reported net income available to common stockholders of $418 million or $1.63 per share (diluted). Net income available to common stockholders before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $371 million or $1.45 per share (diluted) compared to net income of $88 million or $0.34 per share (diluted) for the first quarter of 2002.

In 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recorded in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The change was effective January 2003 and the related cumulative adjustment to net income was an increase of $47 million after taxes, or $0.18 per share (diluted). The application of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Company's depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) rate. There was no impact on the Company's cash flow as a result of adopting SFAS No. 143.

During the first quarter of 2003, Anadarko sold 45 MMBOE, a decrease of 5 MMBOE or 10% compared to sales of 50 MMBOE in the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in volumes during 2003 was due to a decrease of 3 MMBOE in the United States, a decrease of 1 MMBOE from operations in Algeria and a decrease of 1 MMBOE in Other International. Sales volumes represent actual production volumes adjusted for changes in commodity inventories. Anadarko employs marketing strategies to help manage volumes, and mitigate the effect of price volatility which is likely to continue in the future.

The Company's natural gas sales volumes for the first quarter 2003 were down 9 Bcf or 6% compared to the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in volumes is due primarily to a decrease in the Company's sales volumes within the U.S. as a result of natural production declines and a decrease in development drilling in late 2001 and early 2002 in response to lower commodity prices. This decrease is partially offset by an increase in natural gas sales volumes in Canada due to successful exploration and development activities. Production of natural gas is generally not directly affected by seasonal swings in demand. However, the Company may decide during periods of low commodity prices to decrease development activity, which can result in decreased production volumes.

The Company's average natural gas price in the first quarter of 2003 increased 104% from the first quarter of 2002 due to a combination of factors. Strong demand in North American consumption due to colder weather and declining gas supply resulted in significantly higher North American gas prices. These higher prices were partially offset by commodity price hedges on 39% of natural gas sales volumes during the quarter that reduced the Company's exposure to low prices and limited participation in higher prices. As of March 31, 2003, the Company has hedged 47% of its remaining expected 2003 natural gas wellhead sales volumes and 27% of its expected natural gas wellhead sales volumes for 2004.

Anadarko's crude oil and condensate sales volumes for the first three months of 2003 decreased 3 MMBbls or 16% compared to the first three months of 2002. The decrease in crude oil and condensate volumes was due to a decrease of 1 MMBbls in Canada due largely to the sale of the Company's heavy oil assets in late 2002, a decrease of 1 MMBbls in Algeria and a decrease of 1 MMBbls in Other International volumes related to operations in Venezuela. The decrease in Algeria volumes is due primarily to the completion of cost recovery, whereby Anadarko was reimbursed for previous exploration spending with additional barrels of oil production. The decrease in Venezuela volumes is due primarily to the contract terms with the national oil company of Venezuela under which Anadarko earns a fee that is translated into barrels of oil based on current prices that results in lower oil volumes when prices increase. Production of oil is not usually affected by seasonal swings in demand.

Anadarko's average realized crude oil prices for the first quarter of 2003 increased 54% compared to the first quarter of 2002. The increase in crude oil prices during 2003 is attributed primarily to political unrest in the Middle East, the oil workers' strike in Venezuela, low oil inventory levels and increased demand, partially offset by hedging losses. These higher prices were partially offset by commodity price hedges on 42% of crude oil and condensate sales volumes during the quarter that reduced the Company's exposure to low prices and limited participation in higher prices. As of March 31, 2003, the Company has hedged 32% of its anticipated oil and condensate sales volumes for the remainder of 2003 and 10% of its expected oil and condensate sales volumes for 2004.

The Company's natural gas liquids (NGLs) sales volumes in the first quarter of 2003 were flat compared to the first quarter of 2002. During the first quarter of 2003, average NGLs prices increased 95% compared to the first quarter of 2002. The increase in NGLs prices is attributed to a comparable rise in natural gas prices coupled with historically lower levels of NGLs inventories in the United States. NGLs production is dependent on natural gas prices and the economics of processing the natural gas volumes to extract NGLs.

During the first quarter of 2003, Anadarko's costs and expenses increased $48 million or 8% compared to the first quarter of 2002 due to the following factors:

--

Operating expenses decreased $7 million (4%) primarily due to a decrease in costs associated with processing NGLs.

--

Administrative and general expenses increased $16 million (22%) primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits expenses associated with the Company's workforce.

--

DD&A expense increased $23 million (9%) primarily due to increases in the DD&A rates.

--

Other taxes increased $19 million (34%) primarily due to an increase in production taxes related to the significantly higher commodity prices received in 2003.

--

Impairments of oil and gas properties were primarily due to unsuccessful exploration activities in Tunisia in 2003 and Australia in 2002.

Gross interest expense in the first quarter of 2003 increased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2002. The increase is due to slightly higher interest rates caused by the redemption of the Zero Yield Puttable Contingent Debt Securities in March 2002, which were replaced with higher rate debt, and higher average debt outstanding in the first quarter 2003 compared to the first quarter 2002 primarily because of the Howell Corporation acquisition in late 2002. See Capital Resources and Liquidity and Outlook on Liquidity.

For the first three months of 2003, capitalized interest decreased by 11% compared to the same period of 2002 primarily due to a decrease in capitalized costs that qualify for interest capitalization.

For the first quarter of 2003, income taxes increased $185 million or 430% compared to the first quarter of 2002 due primarily to the increase in earnings before income taxes.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2003 and 2002 was 38% and 33%, respectively. The variances in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 from the statutory rate of 35% were due primarily to changes in income taxes related to foreign operations.

Marketing Strategies

Overview     The Company's sales of natural gas, crude oil, condensate and NGLs are generally made at the market prices of those products at the time of sale. Therefore, even though the Company sells significant volumes to major purchasers, the Company believes other purchasers would be willing to buy the Company's natural gas, crude oil, condensate and NGLs at comparable market prices. The Company's marketing department actively manages sales of its oil and gas. The Company markets its production to customers at competitive prices, maximizing realized prices while managing credit exposure. The market knowledge gained through the marketing effort is valuable to the corporate decision making process.

The Company purchases some physical volumes for resale primarily from partners and producers near Anadarko's production. These purchases allow the Company to aggregate larger volumes and attract larger, creditworthy customers, which in turn enhances the value of the Company's production. The Company sells natural gas under a variety of contracts and may also receive a service fee related to the level of reliability and service required by the customer. The Company has the marketing capability to move large volumes of gas into and out of the "daily" gas market to take advantage of any price volatility. The Company also conducts trading activities for the purpose of generating profits on or from exposure to changes in market prices of natural gas, crude oil, condensate and NGLs.

Included in this strategy is the use of leased natural gas storage facilities and various derivative instruments. However, the Company does not engage in market-making practices nor does it trade in any non-energy-related commodities. The Company's trading risk position, typically, is a net short position that is offset by the Company's natural long position as a producer. The Company's marketing function does not engage in round-trip trades or participate in any marketing-related partnerships. Essentially all of the Company's trading transactions have a term of less than one year and most are less than three months. See Derivative Instruments under Item 3 of this Form 10-Q.

During 2002, all segments of the energy market experienced increased scrutiny of their financial condition, liquidity and credit. This has been reflected in rating agency credit downgrades of many merchant energy trading companies. In 2003, Anadarko has not experienced any material financial losses associated with credit deterioration of third-party purchasers; however, in certain situations the Company has declined to transact with some counter-parties and changed its sales terms to require some counter-parties to pay in advance or post letters of credit for purchases.

Exploration and Development Activities

During the first quarter of 2003, Anadarko participated in a total of 258 wells, including 187 gas wells, 59 oil wells and 12 dry holes. This compares to a total of 356 wells, including 272 gas wells, 68 oil wells and 16 dry holes during the first quarter of 2002. Following are highlights of first quarter 2003 activity:

--

In the Gulf of Mexico, Anadarko made a natural gas discovery at its Jubilee prospect, the first well in Anadarko's Eastern Gulf exploration program. The Atwater Valley 349 No. 1 well was drilled in 8,800 feet of water to a target depth of 18,310 feet and encountered 83 feet of net pay. The Company believes Jubilee could be commercially produced when hub facilities are established in the area.

 

Anadarko also authorized construction of an $86 million production platform for its Tarantula subsalt discovery on South Timbalier Block 308. The platform will have a capacity of 100 MMcf/d of natural gas and 30,000 barrels per day of oil. First production is expected in the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

Anadarko holds a 100% working interest in both fields.

--

In North Louisiana, average daily gross natural gas production from the Vernon area increased from the fourth quarter of 2002 by 26% to 120 MMcf/d in the first quarter of 2003. First quarter drilling focused on extending the Vernon field boundaries and development. Among the standout wells drilled during the quarter was the Smith 9-1 in the northwest portion of the field, which tested at 12 MMcf/d of gas. Anadarko has a 98% working interest in that well. Four others also tested at rates between 8 MMcf/d and 10 MMcf/d of gas. Several offsets are planned.

--

In Algeria, Anadarko and partners Sonatrach, Maersk and Eni-Lasmo announced the partnership's second oil discovery since resuming exploration in October 2002 on Block 404 in the Berkine Basin. The SFSW-1 discovery well was drilled to a total depth of 10,637 feet and encountered 36 feet of net oil pay in the TAGI reservoir. It tested at a rate of 2,700 barrels per day of 47 degree API gravity oil.

--

In Canada, Anadarko announced a natural gas discovery in the Saddle Hills area of Alberta, increasing proved reserves by over 40 Bcf of gas from this multi-zone play. The Saddle Hills 15-34-75-7W6 discovery well, drilled into the Devonian formation, flowed at a rate of 16 MMcf/d of gas. With this 100% owned well online and other activity this year, total gas production from Saddle Hills increased to 80 MMcf/d of gas, compared with just 2 MMcf/d a year earlier.

During the first three months of 2003, Anadarko's capital spending was $623 million, a decrease of $190 million or 23% compared to the same period of 2002. This decrease is primarily due to a $258 million decrease in exploration spending, partially offset by a $53 million increase in development spending and a $15 million increase in gathering and other spending. Development activities accounted for 58% of first quarter 2003 total spending which reflects the Company's focus on developing existing fields.

Debt     As of March 31, 2003, Anadarko's total debt was $5.4 billion. This compares to total debt of $5.5 billion at December 31, 2002.

In April 2003, Anadarko redeemed for cash its callable Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due 2020. Anadarko funded the $384 million redemption with available credit facilities that carry a lower effective interest rate. Anadarko paid $556.46 per debenture, reflecting the issue price plus accrued interest at 3.5%.

In May 2003, the Company issued $350 million principal amount of 3.25% Notes due 2008. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to reduce floating interest rate debt that was incurred in April 2003 to redeem the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due 2020.

Outlook on Liquidity

Anadarko's net cash from operating activities in the first quarter of 2003 was $705 million compared to $418 million in the first quarter of 2002. The increase in cash flow is attributed primarily to a significant increase in commodity prices. The Company's original capital expenditure budget for 2003 was set at $2.3 billion. In April 2003, the Company increased the capital expenditure budget 9% to $2.5 billion. The increase is expected to enable Anadarko to accelerate its exploration program in the Gulf of Mexico, Algeria and Canada and more aggressively develop key producing fields in Canada and East Texas.

Net cash from operating activities in 2003 is expected to be about $3.2 billion. The Company plans to use a portion of 2003 cash flow to repay about $300 million in debt. Cash flow from operating activities will vary depending upon, among other things, actual commodity prices received throughout the year. The Company intends to adjust capital expenditures to reflect changes in its cash flow from operations. The Company's cash flow and capital expenditure estimates for 2003 were based on prices below where oil and gas were trading in the first quarter of 2003. If higher prices are realized, the Company may expand the drilling program, make targeted acquisitions or further reduce debt. The Company has a stock buyback program to purchase up to $1 billion in shares of Anadarko common stock. Any stock repurchases for 2003 are not included in the announced capital expenditure budget and are not currently anticipated.

Both exchange and over-the-counter traded derivative instruments are subject to margin deposit requirements. Margin deposits are required by the Company whenever its unrealized losses with a counter-party exceed predetermined credit limits. Given the Company's sizable hedge position and price volatility, the Company may be required from time to time to advance cash to its counter-parties in order to satisfy these margin deposit requirements. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company's margin deposit requirements ranged from zero to $125 million. The Company's margin deposit requirement was zero on March 31, 2003.

Anadarko believes that operating cash flow and existing or available credit facilities will be adequate to meet its capital and operating requirements for 2003. The Company funds its day-to-day operating expenses and capital expenditures from operating cash flows, supplemented as needed by short-term borrowings under commercial paper, money market loans or credit facility borrowings. To facilitate such borrowings, the Company has in place $750 million in committed credit facilities, which are supplemented by various non-committed credit lines that may be offered by certain banks from time to time at then-quoted rates. It is the Company's policy to limit commercial paper borrowing to levels that are fully back-stopped by unused balances from its committed credit facilities. The Company may choose to refinance certain portions of these short-term borrowings by issuing long-term debt in the public or private debt markets. To facilitate such financings, the Company may file shelf registrations in advance with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company continuously monitors its debt position and coordinates its capital expenditure program with expected cash flows and projected debt repayment schedules. The Company will continue to evaluate funding alternatives, including property sales and additional borrowing, to secure other funds for additional capital expenditures and stock repurchases. At this time, Anadarko has no plans to issue common stock other than through its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, through the exercise of stock options, or through the Company's Employee Savings Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plan equity funded contributions.

The Company's credit agreements allow for a maximum capitalization ratio of 60% debt, exclusive of the effect of any non-cash writedowns. As of March 31, 2003, Anadarko's capitalization ratio was 42% debt. While there is no specific restriction on paying dividends, under the maximum debt capitalization ratio retained earnings were not restricted as to the payment of dividends at March 31, 2002. The amount of future common stock dividends will depend on earnings, financial conditions, capital requirements and other factors, and will be determined by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

New Accounting Principles

For information on New Accounting Principles see Note 1 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Derivative Instruments Anadarko's derivative instruments currently are comprised of futures, swaps and options contracts. The volume of derivative instruments utilized by the Company to hedge its market price risk and in its energy trading operation can vary during the year within the boundaries of its established risk management policy guidelines. For information regarding the Company's accounting policies related to derivatives and additional information related to the Company's derivative instruments, see Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 7 - Financial Instruments of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Derivative Instruments Held for Non-Trading Purposes The Company had equity production hedges of 412 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 29 million barrels of crude oil as of March 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a net unrealized loss of $250 million before taxes on these commodity derivative instruments. Based upon an analysis utilizing the actual derivative contractual volumes, a 10% increase in commodity prices would result in an additional loss on these commodity derivative instruments of approximately $208 million. However, this loss would be substantially offset by a gain in the value of that portion of the Company's equity production that is hedged.

Derivative Instruments Held for Trading Purposes As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a net unrealized gain of $24 million (gains of $50 million and losses of $26 million) on commodity derivative instruments entered into for trading purposes and a net unrealized loss of $22 million (gains of $9 million and losses of $31 million) on physical contracts entered into for trading purposes. Based upon an analysis utilizing the actual derivative contractual volumes and assuming a 10% decrease in underlying commodity prices, the potential additional loss on the derivative instruments would be approximately $17 million.

Firm Transportation Keep-Whole Agreement Anadarko Holding Company (Anadarko Holding) was a party to several long-term firm gas transportation agreements that supported its gas marketing program within its gathering, processing and marketing (GPM) business segment, which was sold in 1999 to Duke Energy (Duke). As part of the GPM disposition, Anadarko Holding agreed to pay Duke if transportation market values fall below the fixed contract transportation rates, while Duke will pay Anadarko Holding if the transportation market values exceed the contract transportation rates (keep-whole agreement). This keep-whole agreement will be in effect until the earlier of each contract's expiration date or February 2009. The Company may periodically use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure under the keep-whole agreement to potential decreases in future transportation market values. Due to decreased liquidity, the use of derivative instruments to manage this risk is generally limited to t he forward twelve months. As of March 31, 2003, other current assets included $16 million and other long-term liabilities included $63 million related to this agreement. As of December 31, 2002, accounts payable included $5 million and other long-term liabilities included $68 million related to this agreement. A 10% unfavorable change in prices on the short-term portion of the keep-whole agreement would result in an additional loss of $9 million. The future gain or loss from this agreement cannot be accurately predicted. For additional information related to the keep-whole agreement, see Note 7 -Financial Instruments of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

For additional information regarding the Company's marketing and trading portfolio and the firm transportation keep-whole agreement see Marketing Strategies under Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Commodity Price Risk Crude oil prices continue to be affected by political developments worldwide, pricing decisions and production quotas of OPEC and the volatile trading patterns in the commodity futures markets. Natural gas prices also continue to be highly volatile. In periods of sharply lower commodity prices, the Company may curtail production and capital spending projects, as well as delay or defer drilling wells in certain areas because of lower cash flows. Changes in crude oil and natural gas prices can impact the Company's determination of proved reserves and the Company's calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to oil and gas reserves. In addition, demand for oil and gas in the U.S. and worldwide may affect the Company's level of production.

Under the full cost method of accounting, a non-cash charge to earnings related to the carrying value of the Company's oil and gas properties on a country-by-country basis may be required when prices are low. Whether the Company will be required to take such a charge depends on the prices for crude oil and natural gas at the end of any quarter, as well as the effect of both capital expenditures and changes to proved reserves during that quarter. While this non-cash charge can give Anadarko a significant reported loss for the period, future expenses for depreciation, depletion and amortization will be reduced.

Interest Rate Risk Anadarko is also exposed to risk resulting from changes in interest rates as a result of the Company's variable and fixed interest rate debt. The Company believes the potential effect that reasonably possible near term changes in interest rates may have on the fair value of the Company's various debt instruments is not material.

Foreign Currency Risk The Company's Canadian subsidiaries use the Canadian dollar as their functional currency. The Company's other international subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. To the extent that business transactions in these countries are not denominated in the respective country's functional currency, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, a Canadian subsidiary had $98 million outstanding of fixed-rate notes and debentures denominated in U.S. dollars. The potential foreign currency remeasurement impact on earnings from a 10% increase in the March 31, 2003 Canadian exchange rate would be about $9 million based on the outstanding debt at March 31, 2003.

At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company's Latin American subsidiaries had foreign deferred tax liabilities denominated in the local currency equivalent totaling $31 million and $49 million, respectively. In conjunction with the sale of certain properties in 2001, the Company indemnified a purchaser for the use of local tax losses denominated in the local currency equivalent totaling $22 million. The potential foreign currency remeasurement impact on net earnings from a 10% increase in the March 31, 2003 Latin American exchange rates would be approximately $3 million.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


Anadarko's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Certifying Officers) performed an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. In addition, there have been no significant changes in the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
