PART I

 

Item 1. BUSINESS

 

General Description

 

Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. is a Louisiana corporation organized in 1930 to receive non-producing mineral royalties spun off by a Southwest Louisiana bank. Over the years as some of the royalties yielded oil and gas income the Company used the proceeds to purchase land. The Company is headquartered in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and all of its land and minerals are located in Southwest Louisiana. The Company owns and operates real estate holdings that produce income from oil and gas royalties, timber sales and agriculture rents.

 

The Company’s shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange. As of March 11, 2005, there were 1,942,495 shares outstanding. The trading symbol is CKX. The Company has revenues less than $25,000,000 and its public float in 2004 was less than $25,000,000 consequently the Company is a small business under the Securities Exchange Commission regulations.

 

As a reporting company, Calcasieu is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and accordingly files its annual report on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on 10-QSB, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, DC 20549. Please call the SEC at (800) SEC-0330 for further information on the Public Relations Room. As an electronic filer, Calcasieu’s public filings are maintained on the SEC’s Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that website is http://www.sec.gov.

 

Operations

 

The Company owns some acreage in total and some acreage in an undivided interest. The acreage owned in total is managed by the Company’s officers and the remaining acreage is managed as an entity along with the other owners of undivided interests by an entity known as Walker Louisiana Properties. The Company also owns mineral interests where it does not own the surface. The largest source of income is oil and gas royalties from the Company’s land and mineral holdings. The next largest sources are timber sales from the Company’s land and agriculture rents. The Company does not consider itself to be in oil and gas producing activities in as much as: (1) it does not search for crude oil or natural gas in their natural states; (2) it does not acquire property for the purpose of exploration or the removing of oil and gas; and (3) it is not involved in construction, drilling and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas.

Table of Contents

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

 

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

 

Employees

 

The Company has four employees, all of whom are part-time. They are the three officers and one clerical person. The Company is subject to no union contracts nor does the Company have any hospitalization, pension, profit sharing, option or deferred compensation programs. Walker Louisiana Properties has five full-time employees and the Company pays one-sixth of their payroll costs. One employee of Walker is devoted full-time to agriculture and one employee of Walker is devoted full-time to timber.

 

Customers

 

The Company’s customers are those who have mineral leases on the Company’s property or purchase the timber in competitive bids or execute farming leases. The largest customers are the oil and gas operators under the mineral leases. The Company had two operators who paid oil and gas royalties to the Company in excess of 10% of the Company’s total revenues. In 2004 income from Cox & Perkins accounted for 34% of revenues and income from Unit Petroleum Company accounted for 15% of revenues. All income is derived from domestic customers. The income from Cox & Perkins is for the Company’s 13% interest in an oil and gas unit or 3.345% net royalty for one well. The income from Unit Petroleum Company is for the Company’s one-sixth royalty interest in four wells in the Castor Creek field. The net royalty is 4.167% net for the three wells and 2.083 net royalty on one well.

 

Environmental and Other Governmental Regulations

 

The operators of the wells are responsible for complying with environmental and other governmental regulations. However, should an operator abandon a well located on Company land, without following prescribed procedure, the land owners could possibly be held responsible. The Company does not believe this would have a material effect on its financial condition.

 

Item 2. PROPERTIES

 

The Company owns a total of 13,799 net acres in the Parishes of Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, LaFourche, Sabine, St. Landry and Vermilion in Louisiana. Most of the

In addition the Company owns a mineral interest in net 237 acres of 5,907 gross acres of land owned by others. Under Louisiana law these minerals will prescribe if ten years pass without mineral activity. Of these acres there are 2,872 gross acres currently producing.

 

Of the total net 13,799 acres, timberland comprises 6,281 acres, 6528 acres are agricultural land. 741 acres are marsh land and 249 acres represents the Company’s one-sixth interest in property contiguous to the city limits of Lake Charles which is future subdivision land.

Item 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Overview

 

Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. owns and manages land in Southwest Louisiana. Since its inception in 1930 its principal income has come from oil and gas royalties. These royalties are paid by others who have drilled wells on land either owned in whole or in part by the Company or on land where the Company owns an interest in the mineral rights but not the surface. The Company does not engage in exploration, development or production activities.

 

The Company also rents agricultural land to rice farmers and raises trees on its timber lands. The agricultural leases are year to year for cash rents calculated on a per acre basis. When timber tracts are ready for cutting, the tracts are marked, bids taken and timber deeds are executed. After timber is sold we contract to have the tracts replanted.

Table of Contents

The Company’s income will fluctuate with changes in market prices for oil and gas, timber and rice. Since our oil and gas is a depleting asset future income will depend on others finding new discoveries on our holdings. Oil and gas prices are the primary incentive for new exploration. Technology also affects the potential for new discoveries. Most of our royalties come from small discoveries which are a consequence of 3-D seismic technology.

 

In order to provide sources of future income the Company is always looking to purchase additional land in our immediate area provided it can be used for agriculture or timber and has mineral potential.

 

Results of Operations

 

Calendar 2004 Compared to Calendar 2003

 

Revenues for 2004 were $2,720,258 an increase of 28.9% compared with revenues of $2,111,141 reported for 2003. Oil and gas revenues increased $497,212 or 27.7% in 2004 over 2003. Oil production and gas production and average prices have increased each of the past three years. Shown below are the six largest sources of oil and gas income in 2004 together with the Company’s shares of oil, gas and income. Together they accounted for 80.7% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues. Also shown is the same information for 2003 for these properties.

The largest increase was the Castor Creek Field production. In 2003 the first well had only begun production and the 2004 production doesn’t reflect full year production for all four wells. South Gordon Field had slightly more production and benefited from increased oil prices. The Vinton Field had greater production in 2004 but is expected to decline sharply in 2005 and 2006. The South Jennings Field has been producing from multiple sands since 1940. Production should continue on a declining basis for 8 to

Table of Contents

10 years. The Northwest Vinton Field had two new wells completed in 2004 accounting for the increased production. The Lakeside Field well decreased 50% in 2004 from 2003 and will continue to decrease. There is an additional sand above the current production which might be added in the future. The remaining oil and gas income of the Company comes from a number of small interests in old wells. Their production in 2004 decreased almost 50% from the production in 2003.

 

Timber revenues in 2004 were $117,662 higher than 2003 or 86.7%. Farm revenues in 2004 were $5,757 lower than in 2003 or 3.2%. Timber revenues were higher due to a 34.6% increase in timber prices and a larger volume of sales.

 

Oil and gas expenses were lower in 2004 than 2003 due to a $77,816 write off in 2003. Administrative expenses were up $36,546 or 12.3% due to higher insurance expense, legal fees, salaries and director fees. The director fees per meeting didn’t change but there was one additional director and more meetings.

 

Outlook for Calendar 2005

 

Oil and gas production in 2005 should equal or exceed the production in 2004. We expect production from the South Gordon well to remain steady. Production from the Castor Creek field should increase as we will have the benefit of a full year for all four wells. Production from Northwest Vinton should also increase as we will have a full year’s production from three wells. Production from other fields and wells is expected to decline. If oil and gas prices average as high in 2005 as the 2004 average, oil and gas revenues should equal or exceed 2004 in 2005.

 

The Company is a party to ten undrilled mineral leases on 1,271.33 acres. The Company’s interest is a net 264.2 acres. Should wells be drilled and completed on any of these leases it will increase the Company’s oil and gas revenues.

 

Timber income is expected to remain approximately the same in 2005 as 2004 provided timber prices don’t decrease. Agriculture income should also remain about the same.

 

The Calcasieu Parish School Board is considering building magnet junior and senior high schools for the Parish. This would be subject to voter approval. Walker Louisiana Properties has offered to donate 35 acres for the project. If the schools are built on Walker Louisiana Properties land it would open up approximately 1,200 acres to residential development. Your Company owns a one-sixth undivided interest in this acreage.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has no long-term liabilities, contingencies or off balance sheet liabilities. The only material current liability at December 31, 2004, was the dividend on our common stock declared in

 

6


Table of Contents

December and paid in January. Additional sources of liquidity are the Company’s securities available-for-sale and a bank line of credit for $1,000,000.

 

There are no current plans for capital expenditures. However, the Company is always looking to purchase additional land provided it meets the Company’s criteria.

 

In the opinion of management, cash flow from operations, investments and the line of credit are adequate for projected operation, possible land purchases and continuation of the regular cash dividend.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include the following items:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain matters contained in this report are forward-looking statements including, without limitation, the information contained under the heading “Outlook for Calendar 2005” in Item 7 of this report. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such

forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Unless legally required, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information may be obtained by reviewing the information set forth below under “Significant Risk Factors” and information contained in the Company’s reports filed from time to time with the SEC.

 

Item 6A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Significant Risk Factors

 

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

 

Reliance Upon Oil and Gas Discoveries

 

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

 

Commodity Prices

 

All of the Company’s operating income comes from the sale of commodities produced from its real estate; oil and gas, forest products, agriculture products. Fluctuations in these commodity prices will directly impact net income. In 2004 average gas prices were 15.7% higher than the average in 2003 and average oil prices were 31.1% higher in 2004 than in 2003. Should average oil and gas prices in 2005 revert to the 2003 averages, net income would decline approximately 15%.

 

Interest Rate Risks

 

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

 

Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Item 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

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

 

As of December 31, 2004, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2004. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

To the Board of Directors

Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc.

Lake Charles, Louisiana

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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

CALCASIEU REAL ESTATE & OIL CO., INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of business:

 

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

 

Significant accounting policies:

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

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

 

Inventory:

 

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

 

Pervasiveness of estimates:

 

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

 

Investment securities:

 

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

 

22


Table of Contents

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

 

Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

Property and equipment:

 

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

 

Earnings per share:

 

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

 

Income taxes:

 

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

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issues, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issues for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

The securities are considered not other-than-temporarily impaired because of the short period of time the fair value has been less than cost and the Company has the intent and ability to retain its investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery of fair value.

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