FOREST OIL CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Exhibit 99.1
FOREST OIL CORPORATION
INTRODUCTION TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On November 25, 2009, Forest Oil Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Forest Oil Permian Corporation, entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets (the “Agreement”) with XxxxXxxxx Exploration and Production, LLC (“XxxxXxxxx”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of XxxxXxxxx Energy, Inc. Pursuant to the Agreement, XxxxXxxxx purchased from Forest Oil Corporation and Forest Oil Permian Corporation oil and gas properties located in the states of Texas and New Mexico (the “Oil and Gas Assets”), and various other related interests, rights, receivables, xxxxx, leasehold interests, records, fixtures, equipment, and other assets (together with the Oil and Gas Assets, the “Assets”). The effective date of the purchase and sale of the Assets is November 1, 2009 and the transaction closed on December 21, 2009. The purchase price for the Assets was $800 million, which is subject to customary post-closing adjustments which, when complete, are estimated to yield a final sales price of approximately $795 million.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and explanatory notes present how the financial statements of Forest Oil Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Forest”) may have appeared had the sale of the Assets occurred as of September 30, 2009 (with respect to the balance sheet information) or as of January 1, 2008 (with respect to statements of operations information).
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from and should be read together with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Forest included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and its Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position of Forest would actually have been had the transaction described above occurred on the dates noted above, or to project the results of operations or financial position of Forest for any future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments are directly attributable to the transaction and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of Forest. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma financial information have been made.
