Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001
Amounts stated hereunder have been rounded to the nearest $100,000.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities for 2002 was $0.8 million, as
compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.0 million in 2001.
Net funds provided by operations in 2002 included accounts with partners of
$4.0 million primarily in Gabon. It also included $1.5 million of development
and operating costs advanced on behalf of the Government of Gabon for their
7.5% carried working interest share of the Etame field. This amount is carried
as an Other Receivable. Offsetting these cash uses was an increase of $5.1
million in trade accounts payable net of trade accounts receivable. Net cash
provided by operations in 2001 included $0.7 million from funds in escrow and
$2.3 million in advances from partners in the Philippines and Gabon.
Net cash used in investing activities for 2002 was $15.9 million, as
compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5.6 million in 2001. In
2002, the Company invested $15.6 million to fund its share of the development
of the Etame Block. In 2001, the Company participated in two exploration wells
in Gabon at a cost of approximately $3.2 million and expended an additional
$0.7 million for the development of the Etame Block in 2001. The Company also
participated in four wells in Texas at a cost of approximately $1.2 million in
2001. Exploration expenses of $0.3 million were incurred in 2002 versus $0.4
million in 2001.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.0 million consisting of
borrowings of $20.0 million from the IFC and the 1818 Fund and $3.3 million
from the sale of stock of VAALCO's subsidiary VAALCO International, Inc. This
was offset by $10.0 million placed in escrow to guarantee the IFC loan. No net
cash was provided by or used in financing activities for 2001.
Revenues
Total oil and gas sales for 2002 was $10.0 million as compared to $1.7
million for 2001. During 2002, the Etame field was placed on production, and
the Company sold approximately 302,000 net barrels of oil, generating $8.9
million in revenues. The balance of the revenues was from Texas and the
Philippines. The 2001 revenues were about equally split between Texas and the
Philippines. The Company realized a $0.2 million gain on the resale of a
portion of the Etame interest in 2001.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Production expenses for 2002 were $2.8 million as compared to $0.7 million
for 2001. In 2002, $2.3 million of production expenses occurred in Gabon
associated with the Etame field production.
Exploration costs for 2002 were $0.3 million as compared to $0.4 million for
2001. 2002 exploration costs were primarily costs of seismic reprocessing in
Gabon. 2001 exploration expenses were primarily associated with undeveloped
acreage expirations.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of properties for 2002 and 2001
were $2.1 million and $1.2 million respectively. Depletion in 2002 included
$1.8 million associated with Etame production. The balance was associated with
the Texas wells. Depletion in 2001 was associated with the Texas wells and
included an impairment of $0.6 million.
General and administrative expenses for 2002 were $2.0 million as compared
to $1.8 million for 2001. Increased activity associated with the Etame field
development was the primary reason for the increase in 2002.

In connection with the charter of the FPSO, the Company as operator of the
Etame field, guaranteed the charter payments through September 2004. The
charter continues beyond that period unless one year's prior notice is given to
the owner of the FPSO. The Company obtained several guarantees from its
partners for their share of the charter payment. The Company's share of the
charter payment is 28.1%. The estimated obligations for the full charter
payment and the Company's share of the charter payments are as follows:

To fund its share of the development project, the Company has negotiated a
line of credit of $10.0 million through the International Finance Corporation
("IFC"), and the Company guaranteed the repayment of the loan until project
completion is achieved, anticipated to occur March 31, 2003.
In July of 2001, the consortium elected to renew the Etame block for an
additional five-year term, consisting of a three-year and a two-year follow-on
term. The consortium committed to drill two additional wells on the block
during the three-year term. A one well commitment is required to obtain the
two-year extension.
The Company believes it is substantially in compliance with all
environmental regulations.
9. LONG TERM DEBT
To fund its share of the development costs, on April 19, 2002, the Company
entered into a $10.0 million credit facility with the IFC, a subsidiary of the
World Bank. The credit facility required that the Company provide $10.0 million
of cash collateral to secure borrowings under the facility until the "project
completion date." The project completion date is generally defined as the date
after which the field has produced at an average rate of 14,250 BOPD and the
estimated gross proved reserves attributable to the field is at least 16.5
million barrels of oil. The Company expects that the project completion date
will occur on March 31, 2003, at which time the $10.0 million held as cash
collateral will be returned to the Company. The Company borrowed the $10.0
million that it used as cash collateral from the 1818 Fund, which owns a
majority of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis.
In connection with the loan, the Company issued warrants to purchase 15.0
million shares of its common stock to the 1818 Fund (7.5 million of which will
terminate if the loan is repaid on or before March 31, 2003). The loan
agreement was subsequently amended to add an additional lender not related to
us, and to increase the amount we were entitled to borrow under the facility to
$13.0 million. After the other lender was added, the Company had borrowed $10.0
million under the loan, $7.0 million funded by the 1818 Fund and $3.0 million
by the other lender. The Company issued the other lender warrants to purchase
4.5 million shares of common stock on the same terms as the warrants issued to
the 1818 Fund (2.25 million of which will terminate if the loan is repaid on or
before March 31, 2003). If the Company does not draw down any further funds
under the facility, the 1818 Fund will be required to return an additional 2.25
million warrants at the time the facility is paid off. The Company does not
intend to draw any further amounts under the facility.
