President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas S. Smith, commented that 2014 fourth
quarter results included a $12.6
million pretax write-down in the carrying value of crude oil
inventories and a $7.4 million pretax
write-down in the carrying value of certain oil and gas properties.
Mr. Smith added that such valuation charges followed
significant declines in the commodity price for both crude oil and
natural gas and such charges were non-cash in nature.
The Company's financial position remains sound and net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $47,133,000 for the year 2014. The Company
continues to have no bank debt or other forms of debenture
obligations and cash balances at December
31, 2014 totaled $80,184,000.
