All statements other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-K that address activities, events or developments that Gulfport Energy Corporation, formerly known as WRT Energy Corporation ("Gulfport" or "Company"), a Delaware corporation, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as estimated future net revenues from oil and gas reserves and the present value thereof, future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive strength, goals, expansion and growth of Gulfport's business and operations, plans, references to future success, reference to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by Gulfport in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with Gulfport's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, general economic, market, or business conditions; the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by Gulfport; competitive actions by other oil and gas companies; changes in laws or regulations; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Gulfport. Consequently, all of the forwardlooking statements made in the Form 10-K are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurances that the actual results or developments anticipated by Gulfport will be realized, or even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on Gulfport, its business or operations. PART I Item 1. Business Description of Business The Company owns and operates mature oil and gas properties in the Louisiana Gulf Coast area. The Company seeks to achieve reserve growth and increased cash flow from operations through low risk development activities on its existing properties and acquiring additional Louisiana Gulf Coast properties with exploitation and exploration potential. Background On February 14, 1996, Gulfport's predecessor, WRT Energy Corporation ("WRT"), filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Louisiana (the "Bankruptcy Court") for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Upon filing of the voluntary petition for relief, WRT, as debtor-in-possession, was authorized to operate its business for the benefit of claim holders and interest holders, and continued to do so, without objection or request for appointment of a trustee. All debts of WRT as of the petition date were stayed by the Bankruptcy Court and were subject to compromise pursuant to such proceedings. WRT operated its business and managed its assets in the ordinary course as debtor-in-possession, and obtained court approval for transactions outside the ordinary course of business. Based on these actions, all liabilities of the Company outstanding at February 14, 1996 were reclassified to estimated pre-petition liabilities. By order dated May 5, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") sponsored by Wexford and DLB Oil & Gas, Inc. The Plan was consummated and became effective on July 11, 1997 (the "Effective Date"). On the Effective Date, WRT was merged with and into Gulfport. For detailed information regarding events leading to the reorganization and the bankruptcy proceedings, see the Company's 1997 and 1998 Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 4 Item 2. Properties Principal Oil and Gas Properties Gulfport owns interests in a number of producing oil and gas properties located along the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The following is a map showing the locations of the Company's principal oil and gas properties. (Map Omitted) The Company serves as the operator of all the properties in which it holds a working interest with the exception of the Texaco well and deep rights at West Cote Blanche Bay. The following table presents certain information as of January 1, 2000, reflecting the Company's net interest in its producing oil and gas properties. 5

(1) The following wells produce on an intermittent basis: East Hackberry - 7; West Hackberry - 0; and West Cote Blanche Bay - 37. (2) All of the Company's acreage is Developed Acreage. (3) Includes 1 producing well and 3 shut-in wells attributable to depths below the Rob "C" Marker ("Deep Rights"). The Company has a 7.45% non- operated working interest (5.84% NRI) in the Deep Rights. The Deep Rights are operated by Texaco Exploration and Production, Inc. (4) In the future, the Company will have to plug and abandon almost 500 wellbores. The Company's strategy to meet this obligation is to plug at least twenty wells a year and to invest in plugging escrow accounts. The Company continually deposits money in the West Cote Blanche Bay Escrow Account which currently has a balance in excess of $1.5 million dollars. Additionally, the Company has a $200,000 letter of credit dedicated to the plugging operations at East Hackberry. All of the oil and gas leases in which the Company owns an interest have been perpetuated by production. The operator may surrender the leases at any time by notice to the lessors, or by the cessation of production. 6 EAST HACKBERRY FIELD - -------------------- (Map Omitted) Location and Land - ----------------- The East Hackberry Field is located along the western shore of Lake Calcasieu in Cameron Parish, Louisiana approximately 80 miles west of Lafayette and 15 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. In February 1994, the Company purchased a 100% working interest (approximately 79% average NRI) in certain producing oil and gas properties situated in the East Hackberry Field. The purchase included two separate lease blocks, the Erwin Heirs Block which is located on land originally developed by Gulf Oil Company (now Chevron Corporation), and the adjacent State Lease 50 Block which is located primarily in the shallow waters of Lake Calcasieu, originally developed by Texaco. The two lease blocks together contain 3,147 acres. In September 1994, the Company sold an overriding royalty interest equal to a 50% working interest in certain producing oil and gas wells situated in the East Hackberry Field to Milam Royalty Corporation a subsidiary of J. P. Morgan and Company. In April 1999, Gulfport purchased the overriding royalty interest back from the then current owner, Queen Sand Resources, Inc. giving the Company a 100% working interest in the field. Geology - ------- The Hackberry Field is a major salt intrusive feature, elliptical in shape as opposed to a classic "dome," divided into East and West field entities by a saddle. Structurally, the Company's East Hackberry acreage is located on the eastern end of the Hackberry salt ridge. There are over 30 pay zones at this 7 field. The salt intrusion trapped Oligocene through Lower Miocene rocks in a series of complex, steeply dipping fault blocks. The Camerina sand series is a prolific producer with 1-2 MMBL per well of oil potential. The Company's wells currently produce from perforations found between 5,100' and 12,200'. Area History and Production - --------------------------- The East Hackberry field was discovered in 1926 by Gulf Oil Company (now Chevron Corporation) by gravitational anomaly survey. The massive shallow salt stock presented an easily recognizable gravity anomaly indicating a productive field. Initial production began in 1927 and has continued to the present. The estimated cumulative oil and condensate production through 1999 was 111 million barrels of oil with casinghead gas production being 60 billion cubic feet of gas. There have been a total of 170 wells drilled on the Company's portion of the field with 12 having current daily production; seven produce intermittently; and 71 wells shut-in and five wells have been converted to salt water disposal wells. The remaining 72 wells have been plugged and abandoned. As of January 1, 2000 daily net production averages 370 barrels of oil and 4970 barrels of water with a limited amount of natural gas. Facilities - ---------- The Company has land-based production and processing facilities located at the East Hackberry Field. The facility is comprised of two dehydrating units, four disposal pumps and two compressors with a total of 1,700 horsepower. The Company also has a field office that serves both the East and West Hackberry fields. WEST HACKBERRY FIELD Location and Land - ----------------- The West Hackberry Field is located on land and is five miles West of Lake Calcasieu in Cameron Parish, Louisiana approximately 85 miles west of Lafayette and 15 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. In November 1992, the Company purchased a 100% working interest (approximately 80% average NRI, subsequently increased to approximately 87.5% NRI) in 592 acres within the West Hackberry Field. Geology - ------- Structurally, the Company's West Hackberry acreage is located on the western end of the Hackberry salt ridge. (See graphic above.) There are over 30 pay zones at this field. West Hackberry consists of a series of fault-bounded traps in the Oligocene-age Vincent and Keough sands associated with the Hackberry Salt Ridge. Recoveries from these thick, porous, water-drive reservoirs have resulted in per well cumulatives of almost 700 BOE. Area History and Production - --------------------------- The first discovery well at West Hackberry was drilled in 1938 and was developed by Superior Oil Company (now Exxon-Mobil Corporation) between 1938 and 1988. The estimated cumulative oil and condensate production through 1999 was 170 million barrels of oil with casinghead gas production of 120 billion cubic feet of gas. There have been 36 wells drilled to date on the Company's portion of West Hackberry and currently four are producing, 22 are shut-in and one has been converted to a salt water disposal well. The remaining eight wells have been plugged and abandoned. The Company plugged one saltwater disposal well in 1999. As of January 1, 2000 daily net production averages 125 barrels of oil, 100 MCF of gas and 670 barrels of water. Facilities - ---------- The Company has land-based production and processing facilities located at the West Hackberry field. The Company has two dehydrating units, one disposal pump and one 650-horsepower compressor. The Company maintains a field office that serves both the East and West Hackberry fields. 8 WEST COTE BLANCHE BAY FIELD - --------------------------- (Map Omitted) (Type Log Omitted) Location and Land - ----------------- The West Cote Blanche Bay (WCBB) Field lies approximately five miles off the coast of Louisiana primarily in St. Mary Parish in a shallow bay, with water depths averaging eight to ten feet. The Company originally acquired from Texaco a 6.25% working interest in all zones in the WCBB field in July 1988. In April 1995, the Company completed the purchase of an additional 43.75% working interest in the WCBB field from an affiliate of Benton Oil and Gas Company and two affiliates of Tenneco, Inc. as to those rights lying above the base of the Rob "C" marker, located at approximately 10,500'. The sellers retained their interests in all depths below the base of the Rob "C" marker. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, at the Effective Date, the Company acquired the remaining 50% working interest in the WCBB field in depths above the Rob "C" marker from Texaco and became the operator of the field. In 1999 the Company exercised a preferential right to purchase an additional 1.00% working interest in the rights below the Rob "C" marker. Currently the Company owns a 100% working interest (80.20% NRI) and is the operator in the depths above the Rob "C" marker and owns a 7.45% non-operated working interest (5.84% NRI) in depths below the Rob "C" marker. Texaco is the operator below the base of the Rob "C" marker. The Company's leasehold at WCBB covers a portion of Louisiana State Lease 340 and contains 4,590 acres. Geology - ------- WCBB overlies one of the largest salt dome structures on the Gulf Coast. The field is characterized by a piercement salt dome, which created traps from the Pleistocene through the Miocene. The relative movements affected deposition and created a complex system of fault traps. The compensating fault sets generally trend NW-SE and are intersected by sets having a major radial component. Later-stage movement caused extension over the dome and a large graben system was formed. 9 There are over 100 distinct sandstone reservoirs recognized throughout most of the field and nearly 200 major and minor discrete intervals have been tested. Within the over 800 wellbores that have been drilled to date in the field, over 4,000 potential zones have been penetrated. These sands are highly porous and permeable reservoirs primarily with a strong water drive. Area History and Production - --------------------------- Texaco drilled the discovery well in 1940 based on a seismic and gravitational anomaly. WCBB was subsequently developed on an even 160-acre pattern for much of the reminder of the decade. Developmental drilling continued and reached its peek in the 1970's when over 300 of the over 800 total wells were drilled in the field. Of the over 800 wells drilled, only 80 were dry holes and many of these were capable of hydrocarbon production. As a result, the field has an historic success rate of over 90% for all wells drilled. The cumulative gross production for the average producer in the field was 237 MBO, with over 100 of those wells (14% of total wells) producing in excess of 500 MBO. As of June 30, 1997, field cumulative gross production was 188 MMBO and 224 BCF of gas. There have been 860 wells drilled in WCBB of this 42 are currently producing, 333 are shut-in and four have been converted to salt water disposal wells. The balance of the wells (or 481) have been plugged and abandoned. As of January 1, 2000 the Company's net current daily production is 1,070 barrels of oil, 200 MCF of gas and 15, 300 barrels of water at WCBB. In 1991 Texaco conducted a 70 square mile 3-D seismic survey with 1,100 shot points per mile that processed out 100 fold. In 1993, an undershoot survey around the crest and production facilities was added. The Company owns the rights to the seismic data. In December of 1999 the Company completed the re-processing of the seismic data and currently has its geophysicists developing prospects from the data. The reprocessed data will enable the Company to identify prospects in areas of the field that would otherwise remain obscure. Facilities - ---------- The Company owns and operates a production facility at WCBB. The platform stretches over a mile and is equipped with a 30 MMCF capacity dehydrating system, three compressors totaling 4000 horsepower and three 225 horsepower triplex saltwater disposal pumps. The Company has made continual improvements to this facility to enable it to function more efficiently and lower lease operating expense at WCBB. Some of the improvements in 1999 include installing three free water knockouts to aid in the separation process, tuning of the compressors and cleaning out the saltwater disposal wells. The Company generates cash flow by handling other companies' saltwater and gas through the facility for a fee. In 1999, the Company earned an average of $30,000 a month from facility charges. Texaco Operated Well - -------------------- In June of 1999, the Company executed a sublease in favor of Texaco of an approximate 72 acre block below the base of the 8 Sand, located at approximately 9,060 feet, at WCBB and reserved a 25% back-in working interest after the proceeds of the well totaled $1,000,000. Texaco has informed the Company that the well reached the payout point in January of 2000. The subject well is currently producing approximately 170 BOPD and 125 MCFPD net to the Company with estimated net reserves to the Company of 84,000 MCF of gas and 123,000 barrels of oil. This well is located on the flank of West Cote Blanche Bay salt dome. The Company believes that there are many locations further inside the perimeter (owned 100% by Gulfport) that have equal to or greater potential than this well. OVERRIDES & ROYALTY Overriding Royalty Interests - ---------------------------- The Company owns overriding royalty interests in an additional 11 producing oil and gas wells lying in three fields. When the Company sold its 10 interest in the Bayou Penchant Field to Castex Energy 1996 Limited Partnership effective April 1, 1998, the Company retained a 10% overriding royalty interest in this field. The Bayou Penchant field is located in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana and the 1999 average daily gross production from seven producing wells was almost 4,500 MCF of gas. The Company also owns a 2.5% overriding royalty interest in three producing wells at the Napoleonville Field retained when the Company sold its interest to Plymouth Operating Company in 1998. The Napoleonville field is located in Assumption Parish, Louisiana and averaged 150 barrels of oil per day in 1999. Additionally, Gulfport owns a net profits interest in one producing well and all the leasehold rights in the South Atchafalaya Bay Field located in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. This well was placed on production in late 1999. These interests provided $30,000 in revenue to the Company in 1999. Fee Minerals and Surface Interest - --------------------------------- The Company owns 230 net acres of fee minerals and surface interest adjacent to its West Hackberry Field in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. This property currently contains six producing wells. The Company is in the process of negotiating a surface lease to a local landowner. OTHER INTERESTS Castex Energy 1996 Limited Partnership - -------------------------------------- In 1998 the Company sold a package of oil and gas properties to Castex Energy 1996 LP for $8.8 million dollars. As additional consideration for the sale, the Company was granted a 25% interest in the limited partnership that vests once the investment in the partnership pays out. The Limited Partnership owns and operates several oil and gas fields located along the Gulf Coast. Litigation Trust - ---------------- In connection with the Bankruptcy, the Bankruptcy Court appointed a bankruptcy examiner to review the bankruptcy case to identify potential claims the Company may have in bankruptcy. The Examiner filed a report recommending numerous actions for recovery of property or damages for the Company's estate. Pursuant to the Plan or Reorganization, all of the Company's possible causes of action against third parties related to the Bankruptcy were transferred into a Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trust was funded by a $3,000,000 cash payment from the Company on the Effective Date of the Bankruptcy. The Company owns a 12% interest in the Litigation Trust with the other 88% being owned by the former unsecured creditors of the Company. The Litigation Trust filed approximately 400 preference actions and several substantive actions alleging fraud, malpractice and other wrongdoings. At this time, the Company cannot estimate what the potential future recovery from the litigation will be. Lafayette Office Building - ------------------------- In 1996, the Company purchased a building in Lafayette, Louisiana to be used as the Company's Louisiana headquarters. The 15 year old building contains 12,480 total square feet with 8,180 square feet of finished office area and 6,300 square feet of clear span warehouse area. The fair market value of the building was recently calculated at approximately $300,000 with a mortgage balance of about $177,000 as of January 1, 2000. This building allows the Company to provide office space for Louisiana personnel, have access to meeting space close to the fields and to maintain a corporate presence in Louisiana. 11 Drilling and Recompletion Activities The following table contains data with respect to certain of the Company's field operations during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. The Company drilled no exploratory wells during the periods presented.

Reserves The oil and gas reserve information set forth below represents only estimates. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating volumes of economically recoverable oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation. As a result, the estimates of different engineers often vary. In addition, the results of drilling, testing, and production may justify revisions of such estimates. Accordingly, reserve estimates often differ from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas and of future net revenues are based on a number of variables and assumptions, all of which may vary from actual results, including geologic interpretation, prices, and future production rates and costs. The following table sets forth estimates of the proved oil and gas reserves of the Company at December 31, 1999, as estimated by a non-employee contract engineer.

Total proved reserves increased from 24,836 MBOE at January 1, 1999 to 26,967 MBOE at January 1, 2000. This increase in reserves is attributable to the purchase of a 50% working interest in East Hackberry, additional reserves located as a result of the drilling and recompletion activity at WCBB, and an increased economic longevity of the properties due to higher oil prices. 12 The estimated future net revenues set forth above were determined by using reserve quantities of proved reserves and the periods in which they are expected to be developed and produced based on economic conditions prevailing at December 31, 1999. The estimated future production is priced at December 31, 1999 without escalation using $ 25.61 per BBL and $2.41 per MCF. In compliance with federal law, the Company files annual reports with the Energy Information Agency of the U.S. Department of Energy with respect to its production of oil and gas during each calendar year and its estimated oil and gas reserves at the end of each year. Title to Oil and Gas Properties It is customary in the oil and gas industry to make only a cursory review of title to undeveloped oil and gas leases at the time they are acquired and to obtain more extensive title examinations when acquiring producing properties. In future acquisitions, the Company will conduct title examinations on material portions of such properties in a manner generally consistent with industry practice. Certain of the Company's oil and gas properties may be subject to title defects, encumbrances, easements, servitudes or other restrictions, none of which, in management's opinion, will in the aggregate materially restrict the Company's operations. Production, Prices, and Costs The Company sells its oil and gas at the wellhead and does not refine petroleum products. Other than normal production facilities, the Company does not own an interest in any bulk storage facilities or pipelines. As is customary in the industry, the Company sells its production in any one area to relatively few purchasers, including transmission companies that have pipelines near the Company's producing wells. Gas purchase contracts are generally on a short-term "spot market" basis and usually contain provisions by which the prices and delivery quantities for future deliveries will be determined. The majority of the Company's crude oil production is sold on contracts based on postings plus a premium. These premiums are based on an average paid by several purchasers minus a handling charge per barrel of oil. The following table contains certain historical data reflecting the average production costs incurred by the Company during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. In May 1999, the Company hedged 1,000 BOPD at a fixed price of $14.75 per barrel (f.o.b. WCBB) for the period beginning with June 1, 1999 and ending November 30, 1999. This hedge is based on an average Merc price of $16.35 a barrel. The difference between the $14.75 per barrel and the $16.35 per barrel is the $1.00 WTI adjustment for the region and transportation and marketing fees. 13 The following is a table and graph of the Company's monthly net production in 1999. (Table and Graph Omitted) The following table demonstrates the production volumes and prices received for production years ended 1999, 1998 and 1997.

14 During 1998, the sales to Equiva Trading Co., Gathering and Energy Marketing Co., Black Hills Energy Resources, Inc., and Plains Marketing, L.P. accounted for 25%, 16%, 23% and 10%, respectively for oil sales. Gas sales to Prior Energy Company, Texaco Exploration and Production, Inc., and Burlington Resources, Inc. accounted for 47%, 27% and 11% of the Company's gas revenues. The company had no other purchasers that accounted for greater than 10% of its oil and gas revenues in the year ended December 31, 1998. Spring 2000 Field Work West Cote Blanche Bay The Company will use the 3-D seismic data that it has recently reprocessed to delineate the locations of four new wells at the West Cote Blanche Bay Field in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana and expects to commence drilling operations on the initial well in April, 2000. Two of the wells will be drilled to depths of about 2,500' and the remaining two wells will be drilled to depths of approximately 9,000'. The Company feels these wells will access significant oil and gas deposits and cover a variety of targets ranging from relatively low risk proven undeveloped locations to higher potential exploratory targets. Gulfport has filed a permit with the State of Louisiana to convert an existing shut-in wellbore to a saltwater disposal well. In the near future, the Company believes that its current disposal system will be at capacity and an additional well will be needed to handle any additional water generated by its drilling program. The Company hopes to begin the conversion process in the second quarter of 2000. In March 2000, the Company began to fulfill its yearly plugging commitment by plugging 20 wells at WCBB. The Company has enlisted the services of an experienced Gulf Coast plugging company to perform the work and estimates these wells can be plugged for an average cost of about $15,000 per well for a total cost of approximately $300,000. East and West Hackberry Gulfport is in the process of increasing production at both the East and West Hackberry fields by performing low risk downhole remedial work on a series of wells. The Company is also continuing its efforts to decrease its reliance on gas lift in the Hackberry fields, and thereby lower lifting cost expenses by converting the lifting method of selected wells to downhole submersible pumps or pumping units. Competition and Markets Availability of Markets. The availability of a ready market for any oil and/or gas produced by Gulfport depends on numerous factors beyond the control of management, including but not limited to, the extent of domestic production and imports of oil, the proximity and capacity of gas pipelines, the availability of skilled labor, materials and equipment, the effect of state and federal regulation of oil and gas production and federal regulation of gas sold in interstate commerce. Oil and gas produced by Gulfport in Louisiana is sold to various purchasers who service the areas where Gulfport's wells are located. Gulfport's wells are not subject to any agreements that would prevent Gulfport from either selling its production on the spot market or committing such gas to a long-term contract; however, there can be no assurance that Gulfport will continue to have ready access to suitable markets for its future oil and gas production. Impact of Energy Price Changes. Oil and gas prices can be extremely volatile and are subject to substantial seasonal, political and other fluctuations. The prices at which oil and gas produced by Gulfport may be sold is uncertain and it is possible that under some market conditions the production and sale of oil and gas from some or all of its properties may not be economical. The availability of a ready market for oil and gas and the prices 15 obtained for such oil and gas, depend upon numerous factors beyond the control of Gulfport, including competition from other oil and gas suppliers and national and international economic and political developments. Because of all of the factors influencing the price of oil and gas, it is impossible to accurately predict future prices. Environmental Regulation Operations of Gulfport are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection. Over the last several years, state and federal environmental laws and regulations have become more stringent and may continue to become more stringent in the future. These laws and regulations may affect Gulfport's operations and costs as a result of their affect on oil and gas development, exploration, and production operations. It is not anticipated that Gulfport will be required in the near future to expend amounts that are material in relation to its total capital expenditures program by reason of environmental laws and regulations, but inasmuch as such laws and regulations are frequently changed, Gulfport is unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Operational Hazards and Insurance Gulfport's operations are subject to all of the risks normally incident to the production of oil and gas, including blowouts, cratering, pipe failure, casing collapse, oil spills and fires, each of which could result in severe damage to or destruction of oil and gas wells, production facilities or other property, or injury to persons. The energy business is also subject to environmental hazards, such as oil spills, gas leaks, and ruptures and discharge of toxic substances or gases that could expose Gulfport to substantial liability due to pollution and other environmental damage. Although Gulfport maintains insurance coverage considered to be customary in the industry for a company its size, it is not fully insured against certain of these risks, either because such insurance is not available or because of high premium costs. The occurrence of a significant event that is not fully insured against could have a material adverse effect on Gulfport's financial position. Employees At December 31, 1999, the Company had eight employees. A Louisiana well servicing company serves as contract operator of the fields and provides all necessary field personnel. Item 3. Legal Proceedings During 1995, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Tri-Deck pursuant to which Tri-Deck would market all of the Company's oil and gas production. Subsequent to the agreement, James Florence, who served as both Tri-Deck's principal and WRT's Director of Marketing, assigned Tri-Deck's right to market the Company's oil production to Plains Marketing and assigned Tri-Deck's right to market the Company's gas production to Perry Gas. During early 1996, Tri-Deck failed to make payments to the Company attributable to several months of the Company's gas production. Consequently, on May 20, 1996, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Motion to Reject the Tri-Deck Marketing Agreement, and on May 29, 1996, the Company initiated an adversarial proceeding against Tri-Deck and Perry Gas. On January 20, 1998, Gulfport and the Litigation Entity entered into a Clarification Agreement to clarify provisions of the Plan regarding the rights of the Company and the Litigation Entity to prosecute certain causes of action arising from the Tri-Deck matter. As a part of the Clarification Agreement, the Litigation Entity was substituted as the actual party in interest in the Tri-Deck case and reimbursed the Company $100,000 for legal fees incurred by the Company. As additional consideration for the contribution of this claim to the Litigation Entity, the Company is entitled to receive 85% of the recovery of all Tri-Deck monies held in the court registry and 50% of the recovery from all other Tri-Deck litigation pursued by the Litigation Entity. In June 1999, the Company received proceeds of $1,267,000 from the Trust as its pro rata entitlement to settlement funds recovered by the Trust in an 16 action assigned to the Trust by the Company under the Clarification Agreement. Since the Company had no basis in the Litigation Trust, the Company recognized the entire proceeds of $1,267,000 as income in the month in which it was received. In addition, the Company received additional proceeds of $75,000 from the Trust during the three months ended September 30, 1999. On October 1, 1999, Plymouth Resources Group, 1998 LLC filed a complaint in the Western District of Louisiana alleging breach of contract regarding rework operations at West Cote Blanch Bay. Plymouth has challenged the Company's right to conduct rework operations in late 1998 and 1999. Plymouth has requested damages in excess of $100,000, specific performance and an accounting. The Company does not believe that it breached any contract with Plymouth and is vigorously defending this lawsuit. Management does not expect this litigation to have a material impact on the financial statements. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders On October 18, 1999, an Information Statement was provided to holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the election of five directors and the approval of an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. On September 8, 1999, in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Laws of the State of Delaware, the Company received written consent of stockholders holding over 50% of the outstanding and issued stock approving both matters. Election of Directors. On July 27, 1999, the Board of Directors nominated five persons to serve on the Board of the Company. On September 8, 1999, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock executed a written consent electing the five nominated persons as directors of the Company. Each director will serve until the next annual meeting or until he is succeeded by another qualified director who has been elected. Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation. On June 30, 1999, the Board of the Company approved, declared it advisable and in the best interest of the Company and voted to recommend to the stockholders that the number of authorized shares of Common Stock be decreased from 250,000,000 to 15,000,000. On September 8, 1999 the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock executed a written consent approving the amendment. The annual shareholder meeting for the Company has not been scheduled as of the date of this filing. PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters The Company's Common Stock is traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol GPOR. The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for the Common Stock in each quarter commencing with the Effective Date:

*In March 1999, the Company effected a 50 to 1 Reverse Stock Split. The stock prices shown for the first and second quarter of 1999 reflect the post-stock split prices. Prior to February 29, 1996, WRT's common stock was quoted on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "WRTE". During the period January 1, 1996 through February 29, 1996, the high and low sale prices reported on the NASDAQ National Market were $1.19 and $0.25, respectively. Effective February 29, 1996, WRT's common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ National Market. 17 Holders of Record At the close of business on February 1, 2000 there were 10,145,400 shares of Common Stock outstanding held by 120 shareholders of record. Dividend Policy The Company has never paid dividends on the Common Stock. The Company currently intends to retain all earnings to fund its operations. Therefore, the Company does not intend to pay any cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Item 6. Selected Financial Data The following selected financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and as of and for the five months 21 days ended December 31, 1997, for the Company and for the six months and 10 days ended July 10, 1997, for the Predecessor Company are derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company included elsewhere in the Annual Report. The selected financial data at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the years then ended have been derived from historical consolidated financial statements of WRT. The financial data set forth below should be read in conjuntion with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

(1) Operating expenses for 1998 include a non-cash charges of $50,131,000 for impairment of oil and gas properties, $271,000 for abandonment of long-lived assets and a $244,000 provision for doubtful accounts. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." (2) Operating expenses for 1995 include a non-cash charge of $103,000,000 related to impairment of long-lived assets pursuant to SFAS No. 121, non-cash charges of $3,600,000 related to a minimum production guarantee obligation, a $2,000,000 provision for doubtful accounts, and a $1,400,000 charge related to restructuring costs incurred. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations As a result of the Reorganization Case and Plan, which was consummated and became effective on July 11, 1997, the Company was required to present its financial statements pursuant to fresh start reporting standards. Accordingly, the financial statements of Gulfport are not comparable to the financial statements of WRT. However, in the case of the statement of operations, the Company believes that comments comparing calendar years are appropriate in order to provide a more meaningful understanding of the Company's operations. The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based in part on the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report and should be read in conjunction therewith. Credit Facility In December 1994, WRT entered into a $40,000,000 credit facility with International Nederlanden (U.S.) Capital Corporation ("INCC") ("INCC Credit Facility") that was secured by substantially all of WRT's assets. At December 31, 1996, WRT had borrowings outstanding of $15,000,000, the maximum amount of borrowings available under the INCC Credit Facility. At December 31, 1995, the revolving loan borrowings were converted to a term loan whereby quarterly principal payments of one-sixteenth of the outstanding indebtedness were due and payable. Amounts outstanding under the INCC Credit Facility bore interest at an annual rate selected by WRT of either (i) the London Inter-Bank offered rate ("LIBOR") plus 3%, or (ii) the Lender's prime lending rate plus 1.25%. At December 31, 1996, WRT was in default under certain financial covenants of the INCC Credit Facility. Accordingly, WRT classified the debt as current at December 31, 1996. While WRT was in bankruptcy, INCC was stayed from enforcing certain remedies provided for in the ING Credit Agreement and the indenture. On the Effective Date, this loan was repaid in full along with $3,154,000 in accrued interest and legal fees. On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a new $15,000,000 Credit Agreement (the "ING Credit Agreement") with ING (U.S.) Capital Corporation (successor to INCC) ("ING") that was secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. Initial loan fees of $188,000 were paid on or prior to the Effective Date, an additional loan fee of $100,000 was made on December 31, 1997 and a loan fee of $100,000 was due on or before December 31, 1998. The loan was scheduled to mature on July 11, 1999, with interest to be paid quarterly and with three interim principal payments of $1,000,000 each to be made in September 1998, December 1998, and March 1999. This loan bears interest at the option of the Company at either (i) LIBOR plus 3% or (ii) ING's fluctuating "reference rate" plus $1.25%. This loan is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. At December 31, 1999, this rate was 9.75%. The ING Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants which impose limitations on the Company with respect to, among other things: (i) the maintenance of current assets equal to at least 110% of current liabilities 19 (excluding any current portion of the ING Credit Agreement); (ii) the incurrence of debt outside the ordinary course of business; (iii) dividends and similar payments; (iv) the creation of additional liens on, or the sale of, the Company's oil and gas properties and other assets; (v) the Company's ability to enter into forward, future swap or hedging contracts; (vi) mergers or consolidations; (vii) the issuance of securities other than Common Stock and options or warrants granting the right to purchase Common Stock; (viii) the sale, transfer, lease, exchange, alienation or disposal of Company properties or assets; (ix) investments outside the ordinary course of business; (x) transactions with affiliates; (xi) general and administrative expenditures in excess of $1 million during any fiscal quarter or in excess of $3 million during each fiscal year; and (xii) the maintenance of an aggregate net present value attributable to all collateral as determined from engineering reports equal to 120% of the principal amount of the ING Credit Agreement on such date. On August 18, 1998, the Company amended the ING Credit Agreement (the "Amended ING Credit Agreement") to, among other things: (i) delete the coverage ratio set forth in the ING Credit Agreement, and (ii) require interest payments to be made by the Company on a monthly basis. The principal amount and the interest rate set forth in the ING Credit Agreement remain unchanged. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Amended ING Credit Agreement, ING waived certain provisions of the ING Credit Agreement to permit certain actions by the Company. In consideration for entering into the Amended ING Credit Agreement and granting certain waivers, the Company and ING further agreed that (a) the Company will pay a $250,000 amendment fee to ING on July 11, 1999, provided that such amendment fee will be waived if the amounts owed to ING under the Amended ING Credit Agreement have been paid in full by July 10, 1999; and (b) the Company shall issue warrants to ING, in that such warrants will permit ING to purchase 2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. On November 20, 1998, the Company and ING entered into a letter agreement wherein ING consented to the sale of oil and gas properties totaling $8.8 million dollars and the Company agreed to issue ING warrants to purchase .05% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis if (1) the Company elected not to complete the November 20, 1998 Rights Offering, (2) did not spend the proceeds from the Rights Offering as specified in the letter agreement or (3) raise less than $10,000,000 in the November 20, 1998 Rights Offering. The Rights Offering was completed and raised $7,500,000. On November 20, 1998, ING was issued the additional warrants. On July 10, 1999, the Company and ING entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Under the Second Amendment, the maturity date of the loan was extended to June 30, 2000 with interim payment of $1,000,000 due by September 30, 1999 and with $379,000 due on March 31, 2000. The $100,000 December 31, 1998 payment was extended until December 31, 1999 and the $250,000 amendment fee was extended to June 30, 2000 provided that such amendment fee would be waived if the loan was paid in full by June 30, 2000. Additionally, ING surrendered the 2.5% warrants that were granted on August 10, 1998 and November 20, 1998. ING waived all events of default occurring as a result of missed payments prior to the Second Amendment. If cash flow is not sufficient to pay the balance at June 30, 2000, the Company will seek alternate forms of financing including, but not limited to, the sale of assets, mezzanine financing and/or the sale of securities. Accounting Change Before July 11, 1997, the Company used the successful efforts method for reporting oil and gas operations. Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company converted to the full cost pool method of accounting for its oil and gas operations to be in conformity with the method used by DLB, its principal shareholder. Due to the restating of property values to comply with fresh start accounting and the conversion from the successful efforts method to the full cost pool method for reporting oil and gas operations on the Effective Date, comparison of depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, with prior years will not be meaningful. 20 Results of Operations Prices and Production Volumes. The markets for oil and gas have historically been, and will continue to be, volatile. Prices for oil and gas may fluctuate in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty and a variety of factors beyond the control of the Company. Set forth in the table below are the average prices received by the Company and production volumes during the periods indicated.

In May 1999, the Company hedged 1,000 BOPD at a fixed price of $14.75 per barrel (f.o.b. WCBB) for the period beginning with June 1, 1999 and ending November 30, 1999. This hedge was based on an average Merc price of $16.35 a barrel. The difference between the $14.75 per barrel and the $16.35 per barrel is the $1.00 WTI adjustment for the region and transportation and marketing fees. Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 The Company reported net income attributable to common stock of $641,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared with a net (loss) attributable to common stock of $(59,105,000) for the year ended December 31, 1998. The major change in earnings attributable to common stock of $59,746,000 was due primarily to the following factors: (1) the write-down of oil and gas properties in 1998 totaling $50,131,000, (2) the recognition in 1999 of $1,342,000 in revenues from the litigation trust, (3) the increased oil production as a result of development efforts in 1999, (4) reduction of operating expenses in 1999, (5) reduction of general and administrative expenses in 1999, and (6) increase in average oil and gas prices in 1999. Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties. At each year end the Company commissions a reserve report that estimates proved reserves and future revenue of the Company's properties. The price of oil and gas, finding costs and operating costs are used to determine future revenue. When changes occur such as a drop in product prices that indicate the value carried on the balance sheet cannot be recovered by future net cash flow, an impairment in oil and gas properties must be recorded. During 1998, the Company incurred an impairment of oil and gas properties of $50,130,000. The value of oil and gas properties was impaired due primarily to the reduction in the present value of anticipated future cash flows which occurred as a result of a 36% decrease in the BOE prices from $17.91 used in the January 1, 1998 reserve report to $11.43 used in the January 1, 1999 reserve report. The reserve report dated January 1, 2000 used a BOE price of $25.56 resulting in the present value of anticipated future cash flows of $145,355,000. Recognition of Income from the Litigation Trust. During 1999, the Company received $1,342,000 in proceeds from the Litigation Trust. 21 Oil and Gas Revenues. During 1999, the Company reported oil and gas revenues of $10,018,000, a 20% increase from revenues of $8,298,000 in 1998. The increase in revenues is attributable to a 82,000 increase in BOE production in 1999 over 1998 and an increase in prices in 1999 over 1998 of $1.68 per BOE. This overall increase in revenues is despite the $665,000 million decrease in gas revenues attributable to a .314 MMCF decrease in gas sales. The decrease in gas sales is the result of the sale in April 1998 of the Bayou Pigeon, Bayou Penchant, Lac Blanc, Golden Meadow and Deer Island Fields, which produced significant amounts of natural gas. Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses have decreased by $4,113,000 or 52% from $7,782,000 in 1998 to $3,669,000 in 1999. This decrease was due in part to the reduction of field related services performed by third party contractors. The Company has lowered its operating expenses by reducing facility costs through capital expenditures performed to enhance the saltwater disposal facility, acidizing and repairing the saltwater wells, repairing the compressors and a reduction in gas lift costs. This decrease was also due in part to the sale effective April 1, 1998 of oil and gas properties located in Bayou Pigeon, Bayou Penchant, Deer Island, Lac Blanc and Golden Meadow. The decrease was also due in part to a streamlining and cost savings steps taken to reduce operating costs at the Company's remaining properties. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $1,182,000 or 41% from $2,849,000 in 1998 to $1,667,000 in 1999. This decrease was due primarily to the Company's efforts to reduce personnel and overall general and administrative costs. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $600,000 or 39% from $1,534,000 in 1998 to $934,000 in 1999. This decrease was due in part to interest bearing debt reduced by $1.9 million, offset in part by the accrual of $300,000 in interest on certain vendor debt. Other changes in income for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1998 were attributable to the following factors: Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $3,615,000 in 1999 consisting of $3,410,000 in depletion on oil and gas properties and $205,000 in depreciation of other property and equipment. This is a 19% decrease when compared to 1998 depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $4,325,000. This decrease is due primarily to the sale of $8.8 million of property in 1998. Provision for Doubtful Accounts. The bad debts expense decreased from $244,000 in 1998 to $56,000 in 1999. Abandonment of Long-Lived Assets. During 1998, the Company abandoned outdated computer software costs in the amount of $271,000. Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 The Company reported net (loss) attributable to common stock of ($59,105,000) for the year ended December 31, 1998, as compared with net income attributable to common stock of $77,598,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The major change in earnings attributable to common stock of $136,703,000 was due primarily to the following factors: (1) write-down of oil and gas properties totaling $50,131,000, (2) the decrease in oil and gas revenues, (3) the sale of oil and gas properties resulting in an additional decrease in production and (4) the gain on discharge of debt in the amount of $88,723,000 which dramatically affected 1997 earnings. Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties. During 1998, the Company incurred an impairment of oil and gas properties of $50,130,000. The value of the oil and gas properties was impaired due primarily to the reduction in the present value of anticipated future cash flow which occurred as a result of a 36% decrease in the BOE prices from $17.91 used in the January 1, 1998 reserve report to $11.43 used in the January 1, 1999 reserve report. 22 Oil and Gas Revenues. During 1998, the Company reported oil and gas revenues of $8,298,000, a 58% decrease from revenues of $19,894,000 for 1997. The decreased revenues are attributable to a decrease in production volumes of 512 MBOE along with a decrease of $4.02 per BOE in average sales price for the year. Decrease in Production. During 1998, production decreased only 512 MBOE resulting primarily from the sale of producing oil and gas properties effective April 1, 1998 located in Bayou Pigeon, Bayou Penchant, Deer Island, Lac Blanc, and Golden Meadow and the sale of Napoleonville effective September 1, 1998. Extraordinary Gain. During 1997, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $88,723,000 related to the forgiveness of debt recognized in connection with implementing the Plan of Reorganization. In 1998, the Company reduced several key expenditures including production costs, general and administrative expenses, taxes and interest expense. Production Costs. Production costs decreased $1,604,000, or 17% to $7,782,000 in 1998 from $9,386,000 in 1997. Production costs per BOE increased 49% from $9.41 per BOE in 1997 to $14,01 per BOE in 1998. Overall costs decreased in part because of decreases in lease operating expenses and the sale of various producing properties. However, the production costs per BOE rose in 1998 because of the sale of various producing properties which decreased the number of BOE to carry production costs and the added expenditure of plugging 40 wells at WCBB. General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses decreased by 22% from $3,642,000 in 1997 to $2,849,000 in 1998. The decrease is due primarily to a reduction in contract services incurred in connection with implementing the plan of reorganization in 1997. In addition, during 1998 management reduced its work force and implemented other cost savings. During 1997, the Company capitalized $417,000 in general and administrative expenses. Considering the total G&A incurred for 1997, the expenses were reduced by 30%. Gross Production Taxes. Production taxes decreased by $719,000, or 47%, from $1,533,000 in 1997 to $814,000 in 1998. This decrease is attributable to the reduction in oil and gas sales. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $299,000, from $1,833,000 for 1997 to $1,534,000 for 1998. Other changes in income for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1997 were attributable to the following factors: Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $4,324,000 in 1998 consisting of $4,136,000 in depletion on oil and gas properties and $189,000 in depreciation of other property and equipment. Due to the restating of property values to comply with fresh start accounting and the conversion from the successful efforts method to the full cost pool method for reporting oil and gas operations on the Effective Date, comparisons of 1997 depreciation, depletion and amortization expense with prior years will not be meaningful. Provision for Doubtful Accounts. The bad debts expense account increased $173,000 from $71,000 in 1997 to $244,000 in 1998. Restructuring Charges and Reorganization Costs. During 1997, the Company incurred $7,771,000 in reorganization costs, consisting of $3,000,000 contributed to the Litigation Entity as called for in the Plan of Reorganization, $1,515,000 reimbursed to DLB for restructuring costs it incurred on the Company's behalf. 23 Abandonment of Long-Lived Assets. During 1998, the Company abandoned outdated computer software costs in the amount of $271,000. Liquidity and Capital Resources Operating Activities Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $6.4 million, as compared to net cash flow used by operating activities of $3.9 million for the comparable period in 1998. This increase is due primarily to the following factors: (1) increased oil production from the West Cote Blanche Bay field; (2) increased oil prices; (3) a significant reduction in lease operating expenses; and (4) a significant reduction in general and administrative expenses. The Company's strategy is to continue to increase cash flows generated by these properties by undertaking new drilling, workover, sidetrack and recompletion projects in the fields to exploit its extensive reserves. The Company has upgraded its infrastructure by enhancing its existing facilities to increase operating efficiencies, increase volume capacities and lower lease operating expenses. Additionally, the Company has undertaken the reprocessing of its 3D seismic data in its principal property, West Cote Blanche Bay. The reprocessed data will enable the Company's geophysicists to generate new prospects and enhance existing prospects in the intermediate zones in the field thus creating a portfolio of new drilling opportunities in the most prolific depths of the field. Capital Requirements and Resources The primary capital commitment faced by the Company in the short term is the payments due under the ING Credit Facility. At December 31, 1999, the outstanding principal balance under the ING Credit Agreement was $2,879,000. Pursuant to the terms of the ING Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to be charged at either (I) LIBOR plus 3% or (ii) ING's fluctuating "reference rate" plus 1.25%. A principal payment of $379,000 is due March 31, 2000 with the remaining principal balance due at maturity on June 30, 2000. An Amendment Fee of $250,000 is due at June 30, 1999 if the loan has not been paid off by that date. The Company has budgeted to pay the March principal payment and hopes to pay the June 30, 2000 installment out of cash flow. If cash flow is not sufficient to pay the June 30, 2000 installment, the Company will seek alternate forms of financing including but not limited to the sale of non-core assets, mezzanine financing and/or the sale of securities. In the Company's January 1, 2000 reserve report, 95% of the Company's net reserves were categorized as proved non-developed non-producing. The proved reserves of the Company will generally decline as reserves are depleted, except to the extent that the Company conducts successful exploration or development activities or acquires properties containing proved developed reserves, or both. To realize reserves and increase production, the Company must commence exploratory drilling, undertake other replacement activities or utilize third parties to accomplish those activities. In the year 2000 the Company expects to undertake a shallow to intermediate drilling program. The Company has identified four to five wells from depths approximately 3,000' to 9,000' that it hopes to drill in spring 2000. It is anticipated that these reserve development projects will be funded either through the use of cash flow from operations when available or by accessing the capital markets. The cash flow generated from these new projects will be reinvested in the field to complete more capital projects. In 1999, the Company invested $7,147,000 in property and equipment and other long-term assets as compared to $1,330,000 during the comparable period in 1998. Net cash provided in financing activities for 1999 was $2.9 million as compared to a use of $3.2 million funds during 1998. The 1998 net cash flows from financing occurred as a result of the $3,200,000 from the Stockholder 24 Credit Facility and the net proceeds from the 1999 Regulation D Offering. The 1999 Regulation D Offering after expenses yielded $5,016,000 to the Company. Affiliated Stockholders subscribed for 4,040,011 shares in the 1999 Regulation D Offering through the forgiveness of $3.0 million in debt, thus netting $2.0 million to the Company for the net cash proceeds from the 1999 Regulation D Offering. In 1998, the Company received net funds of $7,363,000 for the Rights Offering. Affiliated Stockholders exercised 1,200,000 shares of stock through the forgiveness of $3.0 million in debt, thus netting $4.3 million to the Company for the net cash proceeds from the 1998 Rights Offering. In addition to repaying the Affiliated Stockholders through forgiveness of debt, the Company made principal payments of $10.5 million in long-term debt. Commitments and Contingencies During 1995, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Tri-Deck pursuant to which Tri-Deck would market all of the Company's oil and gas production. Subsequent to the agreement, James Florence, who served as both Tri-Deck's principal and WRT's Director of Marketing, assigned Tri-Deck's right to market the Company's oil production to Plains Marketing and assigned Tri-Deck's right to market the Company's gas production to Perry Gas. During early 1996, Tri-Deck failed to make payments to the Company attributable to several months of the Company's gas production. Consequently, on May 20, 1996, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Motion to Reject the Tri-Deck Marketing Agreement, and on May 29, 1996, the Company initiated an adversarial proceeding against Tri-Deck and Perry Gas. Perry Gas was the party which ultimately purchased the Company's gas production for the months in question. On January 20, 1998, Gulfport and the Litigation Entity entered into a Clarification Agreement to clarify provisions of the Plan regarding the rights of the Company and the Litigation Entity to prosecute certain causes of action arising from the Tri-Deck matter. As a part of the Clarification Agreement, the Litigation Entity will intervene or be substituted as the actual party in interest in the Tri-Deck case and reimbursed the Company $100,000 for legal fees incurred by the Company. As additional consideration for the contribution of this claim to the Litigation Entity, the company is entitled to receive 85% of the recovery of all monies held in the court registry and 50% of the recovery from all other Tri-Deck litigation pursued by the Litigation Entity. The Trust settled the action against TriDeck in the second quarter of 1999. In June 1999, the Company received proceeds of $1,267,000 from the Trust as its pro rata entitlement of the settlement funds. Since the Company had no basis in the Litigation Trust, the Company recognized the entire proceeds of $1,267,000 as income in the month in which it was received. In addition, the Company received additional proceeds of $75,000 from the Trust during the three months ended September 30, 1999 as additional proceeds from this settlement. On October 1, 1999, Plymouth Resources Group 1998 LLC filed a complaint in the Western District of Louisiana alleging breach of contract regarding rework operations at West Cote Blanch Bay. Plymouth has challenged the Company's right to conduct rework operations in late 1998 and 1999. Plymouth has requested damages in excess of $100,000, specific performance and an accounting. The Company does not believe that it breached any contract with Plymouth and is vigorously defending this lawsuit. Management does not expect this litigation to have a material impact on the financial statements. Other Litigation The Company has been named as a defendant in various other litigation matters. The ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations for the periods presented in the financial statements. Year 2000 Compliance The Company made all necessary investments in software systems and applications to ensure it was Year 2000 compliant. The Company did not experience any difficulties related to the Year 2000 rollover. Any cost associated with the process of becoming Year 2000 compliant was not material. 25 Item 8.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations of Gulfport Energy Corporation and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997 to July 10, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, on May 2, 1997, the Company's plan of reorganization (the "Plan") was confirmed by the bankruptcy court. The Plan was substantially consummated on July 11, 1997 and the Company emerged from bankruptcy. In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start reporting. As a result of the adoption of fresh start reporting, the post-emergence financial statements are not comparable to the pre-emergence consolidated financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Gulfport Energy Corporation (the "Company"), formerly known as WRT Energy Corporation ("WRT"), is a domestic independent energy company engaged in the production of oil and natural gas. On July 11, 1997 (the "Effective Date"), the Company's subsidiaries were merged into the Company. On the Effective Date of the reorganization, the state of incorporation of the Company was changed from the State of Texas to the State of Delaware. Prior to July 11, 1997, the financial statements represented the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company filed a voluntary petition with the Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Louisiana (the "Bankruptcy Court") for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On May 2, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed an Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") for the Company and on the Effective Date an order of substantial consummation regarding the Plan became final and nonappealable. On the Effective Date, the Debtor was merged with and into a newly formed Delaware corporation named "WRT Energy Corporation" which on March 30, 1998, underwent a name change to "Gulfport Energy Corporation". Effective July 11, 1997, the Company implemented fresh start reporting, as defined by the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position Number 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"). See prior 10K filings for more information regarding these events. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. Oil and Natural Gas Properties The Company uses the Full Cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations. Accordingly, all costs, including nonproductive costs and certain general and administrative costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties, are capitalized. Net capitalized costs are limited to the estimated future net revenues, after income taxes, discounted at 10% per year, from proven oil and natural gas reserves and the cost of the properties not subject to amortization. Such capitalized costs, including the estimated future development costs and site remediation costs, if any, are depleted by an equivalent units-of-production method, converting natural gas to barrels at the ratio of six MCF of natural gas to one barrel of oil. No gain or loss is recognized upon the disposal of oil and gas properties, unless such dispositions significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proven oil and natural gas reserves. Oil and natural gas properties not subject to amortization consist of the cost of undeveloped leaseholds. These costs are reviewed periodically by management for impairment, with the impairment provision included in the cost of oil and natural gas properties subject to amortization. Factors considered by management in its impairment assessment include drilling results by the Company and other operators, the terms of oil and gas leases not held by production, and available funds for exploration and development. Other Property and Equipment Depreciation of other property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 7 to 30 years. F-9 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 Earnings (Loss) per Share Earnings (loss) per share computations are calculated on the weighted-average of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the year. Common stock options and warrants are considered to be common share equivalents and are used to calculate earnings per common and common share equivalents except when they are anti-dilutive. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income during the period the rate change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are recognized as income in the year in which realization becomes determinable. Revenue Recognition Natural gas revenues are recorded in the month produced using the entitlement method, whereby any production volumes received in excess of the Company's ownership percentage in the property are recorded as a liability. If less than the Company's entitlement is received, the underproduction is recorded as a receivable. There is no such liability or asset recorded at December 31, 1999. Oil revenues are recognized in the month produced. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements are highly dependent on oil and gas reserve estimates, which are inherently imprecise. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Commitments and Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. 2. PROVISION FOR ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS A summary of the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and during the period ended July 10, 1997, the Company charged $56,000, $244,000, and $71,000, respectively, to bad debt expense. The 1999 bad debts expense related to receivables on properties no longer owned by the Company. F-10 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The major categories of property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization as of December 31 are as follows:

Included in oil and gas properties at December 31, 1999, are $413,000 in general and administrative costs incurred and capitalized to the full cost pool in 1999. General and administrative costs capitalized to the full cost pool are those incurred directly related to exploration and development activities such as geological costs and other administrative costs associated with overseeing the exploration and development activities. All general and administrative costs not directly associated with exploration and development activities were charged to expense as they were incurred. During 1998, no general and administrative costs were capitalized to the full cost pool. During 1998, the Company recorded a loss impairment on its oil and gas properties of $50,130,000. At December 31, 1999, due mainly to an increase in prevailing sales prices and to the write down of properties recorded during 1998, the 10% discounted future cash flow from oil and gas properties, as computed by the Company, well exceeded carrying value. Therefore, no loss impairment related to oil and gas properties was recorded during 1999. During 1998, $5,097,000 of undeveloped leasehold cost, previously not considered to be subject to amortization, was determined to be impaired and was included in the cost of oil and gas properties subject to amortization, and in the $50,130,000 impairment of oil and gas properties. At December 31, 1999, the Company had no oil and gas properties not subject to amortization. During December 1997, the Company sold substantially all of its field equipment for approximately $2,100,000 resulting in a net gain on the sale of $594,000. During 1998, the Company sold oil and gas properties totaling $8,800,000. The sale of these properties was treated as a reduction to the full cost pool. Additionally, during 1998, the Company abandoned $271,000 in software costs. 4. OTHER ASSETS Other assets as of December 31 consist of the following:

F-11 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 5. SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS In accordance with the Plan, at the time of reorganization funds were placed in escrow to cover settlement of disputed priority, administrative and secured claims. During March, 2000, final settlement of certain priority claims totaling $116,000 occurred and funds remaining in escrow in excess of claims settled were remitted to the Company. The total of these funds remitted to the Company during March, 2000 approximated $197,000. In addition, the Company accrued certain claims which were to be paid out over a period of years. Those claims remaining to be paid at December 31, 1999, are included in the accompanying balance sheets as current liabilities and total $372,000. Claims remaining to be paid at December 31, 1998, are included in the accompanying balance sheets and total $372,000 with $186,000 classified as current liabilities and $186,000 classified as long-term liabilities. Subsequent to December 31, 1999, $116,000 of these claims was paid from funds held in escrow as described above. 6. LONG-TERM DEBT As of December 31 a break down of long-term debt is as follows:

Credit Facility On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a $15,000,000 Credit Agreement (the "ING Credit Agreement") with ING (U.S.) Capital Corporation (successor to INCC) ("ING") that was secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. Two subsequent amendments have been made to the ING Credit Agreement. The second and latest amendment was dated July 10, 1999, and extends the maturity date to June 30, 2000. The loan bears interest at the option of the Company at either (1) London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3% or (2) ING's fluctuating "reference rate" plus 1.25%, and is to be paid quarterly. At December 31, 1999, this rate was 9.75%. Under this amendment a principal payment of $379,247 is to be made on or before March 31, 2000, and the remaining principal balance is to be paid on or before June 30, 2000. This loan is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. In the event that the remaining principal is not repaid on or before June 30, 2000, the Company will be required to pay $250,000 in additional loan fees to ING. Building Loan In 1996, the Company purchased a building in Lafayette, Louisiana to be used as the Company's Louisiana headquarters. The building is 12,480 square feet with approximately 6,180 square feet of finished office area and 6,300 square feet of warehouse space. This building allows the Company to provide office space for Louisiana personnel, have access to meeting space close to the fields and to maintain a corporate presence in Louisiana. In connection with the purchase of the building, the Company entered into a loan agreement with MC Bank & Trust Company. The original loan balance was $215,000 and called for monthly principal and interest payments totaling $3,000 per month through 2005 with the unpaid balance due at that time. F-12 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 During 1998, the Company renegotiated this loan agreement with MC Bank & Trust Company. The Company borrowed an additional $35,000 for building improvements. The loan agreement calls for monthly principal and interest payments of $2,900 per month through March 2008. The loan bears interest at 9.5% per annum and is collateralized by the land and building. As of December 31, 1999, the Company owed $195,000 on the Lafayette building. Long-Term Debt Maturities Following are the maturities of long-term debt for each of the next five years: 2000 $2,895,000 2001 18,000 2002 20,000 2003 22,000 2004 24,000 Thereafter 95,000 ------------ $3,074,000 ============ 7. PREFERRED STOCK All outstanding Preferred Stock issued by WRT was canceled effective July 11, 1997, and the former preferred shareholders were given Warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock. Pursuant to the Plan, 221,000 warrants were issued with an exercise price of $10.00. The Warrants have been adjusted for subsequent changes in the capitalization of the Company. The Company has not issued any of its authorized Preferred Stock. 8. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION Options On June 1, 1999, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President were each granted stock options for the purchase of 2.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The options vest 35% on June 1, 2000, and 35% on June 1, 2001, with the remaining options vesting on June 1, 2002. The option agreements provide for pro-rata adjustments to options granted if the Company at any time increases the number of outstanding shares or otherwise alters its capitalization. Stock options previously granted to the President were surrendered to the Company upon his death in December, 1999. On September 15, 1999, all non-employee board members were each granted 10,000 options with an exercise price of $2.00. The options vest 33% on October 1, 1999, and 33% on October 1, 2000, with the remaining options vesting on October 1, 2001. These options granted to non-employee board members will be adjusted on a pro-rata basis to reflect any change in the capitalization of the Company. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with Ray Landry beginning on July 11, 1997. As part of that employment agreement, Mr. Landry was granted 60,000 stock options with an exercise price of $3.50 a share. The employment agreement expired in July, 1999, and was not renewed by the Company. No expiration term for the options, however, was specified under the employment agreement. Warrants Effective at the date of reorganization, all previously issued stock option plans of the Company were terminated and all outstanding options were canceled. On that date, a Warrant Agreement (the "Agreement"), authorizing the issuance of up to 1,104,000 warrants, went into effect as mandated under the Plan of Reorganization. A total of 221,000 new warrants, each for the purchase of one share of the Company Common Stock, were issued to the former shareholders of WRT, in accordance with the Agreement. These warrants are exercisable at $10.00 per warrant and expire on July 11, 2002. F-13 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 The Agreement contains several anti-dilutive provisions that provide for adjustments to the terms of the warrants in the event of any recapitalization by the Company. As a result of the Company's capitalization changes as described below, these 221,000 warrants issued can purchase .234 shares of Common Stock for each warrant outstanding at December 31, 1999. Rights Offering On November 20, 1998, the Company completed a $7,500,000 Rights Offering. The Company distributed 4,000,000 nontransferable rights at an exercise price of $2.50 per right, after the effect of the reverse stock split, to the Company's existing shareholders. Each right entitled the holder thereof to subscribe to purchase one share of common stock at the exercise price. Each shareholder who exercised in full his basic subscription privilege was entitled to oversubscribe for additional rights. A total of 3,000,000 rights were exercised for $7,509,000. As of the date of the Rights Offering, Affiliated Shareholders were owed $4,600,000 by the Company. In the Rights Offering, the Affiliated Shareholders exercised 1,752,195 rights through the forgiveness of $4,380,000 of debt. The balance of $220,000 was repaid in cash prior to December 31, 1998. Reverse Stock Split On March 5, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a 50-to-1 reverse stock split, thereby decreasing the number of issued and outstanding shares to 3,445,400, and increasing the par value of each share to $.50. Subsequent to this reverse stock split, the par value was reduced to $.01. Regulation D Private Placement Offering During September 1999, the Company conducted a private placement of stock (the "Regulation D Offering"). In accordance with the provisions of certain exemptions, the Regulation D Offering was made only to Accredited Investors as defined in Regulation D. The Company offered 6,700,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share. Each shareholder exercising his basic subscription privilege in full was entitled to oversubscribe for additional shares. A total of 6,700,000 shares were subscribed, yielding $5,016,000, net of offering costs. As of the date of the Regulation D Offering, Affiliated Shareholders were owed $3,238,000 by the Company. In the Regulation D Offering, the Affiliated Shareholders acquired 4,040,011 common shares through the forgiveness of $3,030,000 of this debt, with the remaining balance of $208,000 paid in cash during October, 1999. 9. INCOME TAXES A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax amount to the recorded expense follows:

F-14 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 The Company filed a short period tax return for the six months and ten days ended July 10, 1997. On that return, the Company utilized $30,061,000 of its deferred tax asset. Since the deferred tax asset was fully reserved by a valuation allowance at December 31, 1996, no income tax expense was recognized on the financial statements for the period ended July 10, 1997. The tax effects of temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards, which give rise to deferred tax assets at December 31 are as follows:

The Company has an available tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $70,000,000 as of December 31, 1999. This carryforward will begin to expire in the year 2013. 10. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Earnings (loss) per share for all periods were computed based on common stock equivalents outstanding on that date during the applicable periods. The difference between common stock outstanding and common stock and stock equivalents outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1999, was insignificant. 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Subsequent to the Effective Date, substantially all of the Company's former unsecured creditors became shareholders. In the ordinary course of business, the Company still conducts business activities with a substantial number of these shareholders. DLB paid $1,515,000 in reorganization costs incurred on the Company's behalf, which was satisfied by the issuance of stock in connection with the Company's 1997 stock rights offering. These costs were included in reorganization cost incurred during the six months and 10 days ended July 10, 1997. In addition, DLB charged the Company $465,000 for management services provided to it during the period July 11, 1997 through December 31, 1997. During the period May 1, 1997 through July 10, 1997, DLB was the operator on the WCBB properties in which the Company had a 50% working interest at that time. Subsequent to that date, the WCBB properties were contributed to the Company for common stock, and the Company became the operator of these properties. DLB and Wexford Management LLC ("Wexford") were, along with the Company, co-proponents in the Plan of Reorganization. As of December 31, 1997, DLB and Wexford owned approximately 49% and 8%, respectively, of the Company's outstanding common stock. During April of 1998, DLB distributed all of its shares in the Company to its shareholders prior to DLB's acquisition by Chesapeake Energy Corporation. As a result of this distribution, Charles Davidson, Mike Liddell and Mark Liddell collectively received 37.5% of the Company's stock. As of December 31, 1999, Wexford and its affiliates owned approximately 17.7% of the Company's issued outstanding stock. Charles Davidson, Mike Liddell and Mark Liddell own collectively 54.22% of the Company's outstanding stock as of December 31, 1999. F-15 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 Administrative Service Agreement Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Administrative Services Agreement, DLB Oil & Gas, Inc. agreed to make available to the Company personnel, services, facilities, supplies, and equipment as the Company may need, including executive and managerial, accounting, auditing and tax, engineering, geological and geophysical, legal, land and administrative and clerical services. The initial term was one year beginning on the date of the Administrative Services Agreement. The Administrative Services Agreement continued for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party by written notice no less than 60 days prior to the anniversary date of the Administrative Services Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the services of Gary C. Hanna and Ronald D. Youtsey, the Company's then President and Secretary, respectively, were provided under this agreement. These individuals are no longer with the Company. On April 28, 1998, in connection with the acquisition of DLB, Inc. by Chesapeake Energy Corporation, the obligations of DLB under the Administrative Services Agreement were assigned to DLB Equities, L.L.C. In return for the services rendered under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Company paid a monthly service charge based on the pro-rata proportion of the Company's use of services, personnel facilities, supplies and equipment provided by DLB Equities, L.L.C. as determined by DLB Equities, L.L.C. in a good-faith, reasonable manner. The service charge was calculated as the sum of (i) DLB Equities, L.L.C.'s fully allocated internal costs of providing personnel and/or performing services, (ii) the actual costs to DLB Equities, L.L.C. of any third-party services required, (iii) the equipment, occupancy, rental, usage, or depreciation and interest charges, and (iv) the actual cost to DLB Equities, L.L.C. of supplies. The fees provided for in the Administrative Services Agreement were approved by the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Plan and the Company believes that such fees are comparable to those that would be charged by an independent third party. The Company paid fees totaling $21,000 and $969,000 during 1999 and 1998, respectively. Effective June of 1999, this Administrative Service Agreement was terminated. At December 31, 1997, Gulfport owed DLB approximately $1,600,000 for services rendered pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. In March 1998, in order to facilitate the acquisition of DLB by Chesapeake Energy Corp., Mike Liddell, Mark Liddell and Charles Davidson purchased the receivable from DLB for its then outstanding amount of approximately $1,600,000. Each of Messrs. Mike and Mark Liddell and Mr. Davidson subsequently transferred his portion of the receivable to Liddell Investments, L.L.C., Liddell Holdings, L.L.C. and CD Holdings, L.L.C., respectively. The receivable accrued interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3% per annum and was satisfied with the exercise of 632,484 rights in the November 20, 1998 Rights Offering through debt forgiveness.

During the period July 11, 1997 through December 31, 1997, the Company sold $4,335,000 in oil to a DLB subsidiary, GEMCO. These sales occurred at prices which the Company could be expected to obtain from an unrelated third party. No sales to related parties were made during 1999.

Pursuant to the facility agreement, the Company paid the eligible Affiliated Stockholders an aggregate commitment fee equal to $60,000. The Company repaid $2,000,000 of principal under the Amended ING Credit Agreement with borrowings under the Stockholder Credit Facility. The remaining $1,000,000 was used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Affiliated Stockholders paid the subscription price for 1,200,000 Shares pursuant to their Basic Subscription Privilege in the Rights Offering through the forgiveness of the amount owed to them under this stockholder credit facility. F-16 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 On August 5, 1999, the Company entered into a $3,255,000 revolving credit facility with the "Affiliated Stockholders".

This debt was extinguished through the issuance of 4,040,011 shares of common stock to the Affiliated Stockholders in the Regulation D Offering in August, 1999, and through the payment of additional funds totaling $208,000. 12. COMMITMENTS Leases As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had no long-term, non-cancelable operating lease commitments. Rental expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the period commencing July 11, 1997 and ending December 31, 1997, and the period commencing January 1, 1997 and ending July 10, 1997, totaled $119,000, $120,000, $77,000, and $109,000, respectively. Lac Blanc Escrow Account During 1998, the Company sold the Lac Blanc field to an unrelated third party. The Company maintained an escrow account related to the future plugging and abandonment of oil and gas wells for the field. As part of the sale of the field, this escrow was to be transferred to the purchaser. At December 31, 1998, the Company and the purchaser were working to cure a title defect in the field. Accordingly, the Company treated the $936,000 as restricted cash as of December 31, 1998. Once that title defect was cured during 1999, the escrow was transferred to the purchaser and the purchase price of $936,000 for the field was released to ING as payment on the Company's note. Plugging and Abandonment Funds In connection with the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the WCBB properties, the Company assumed the obligation to contribute approximately $18,000 per month through March, 2004, to a plugging and abandonment trust and the obligation to plug a minimum of 20 wells per year for 20 years commencing March 11, 1997. Texaco Exploration and Production, Inc. ("Texaco") retained a security interest in production from these properties and the plugging and abandonment trust until such time as the Company's plugging and abandonment obligations to Texaco have been fulfilled. Once the plugging and abandonment trust is fully funded, the Company can access it for use in plugging and abandonment charges associated with the property. As of December 31, 1999, the plugging and abandonment trust totaled $1,610,000, including interest received during 1999 of $64,000. The Company was in arrears on its escrow payments in the amounts of $166,000 and $37,000 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During March, 2000, the Company began to fulfill its yearly plugging commitment of 20 wells at WCBB. Texaco Global Settlement Pursuant to the terms of a global settlement between Texaco and the State of Louisiana which includes the State Lease No. 50 portion of the Company's East Hackberry Field, the Company was obligated to commence drilling a well or other qualifying development operation on certain non-producing acreage in the field prior to March 1998. Because of prevailing market conditions during 1998, the Company believed it was commercially impractical to shoot seismic or commence drilling operations on the subject property. As a result, the Company has agreed to surrender approximately 440 non-producing acres in this field to the State of Louisiana. Reimbursement of Employee Expenses & Contributions to 401(k) Plan The Company sponsored a 401(k) savings plan under which eligible employees chose to contribute up to 15% of salary income on a pre-tax basis, subject to certain IRS limits. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the period F-17 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 commencing July 11, 1997 and ending on December 31, 1997, and the period commencing January 1, 1997 and ending on July 10, 1997, the Company incurred $4,000, $13,000, and $23,000, respectively, in matching contributions expense associated with this plan. The Company did not incur any expense related to this plan during the year ended December 31, 1999. On February 17, 1999, the Company sponsored 401(k) savings plan was terminated and all contributions were distributed to the participants. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company is sponsoring new 401(k) and Profit Sharing plans under which eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of pay through salary deferrals. Also under these plans, the Company will make a contribution each calendar year on behalf of each employee equal to at least 3% of his or her salary, regardless of the employee's participation in salary deferrals. Employment Agreement At December 31, 1999, the Company had an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer. This agreement expires June 1, 2004, and calls for an annual salary of $200,000 which may be adjusted for cost of living increases. 13. CONTINGENCIES During 1995, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Tri-Deck pursuant to which Tri-Deck would market all of the Company's oil and gas production. Subsequent to the agreement, James Florence, who served as both Tri-Deck's principal and WRT's Director of Marketing, assigned Tri-Deck's right to market the Company's oil production to Plains Marketing and assigned Tri-Deck's right to market the Company's gas production to Perry Gas. During early 1996, Tri-Deck failed to make payments to the Company attributable to several months of the Company's gas production. Consequently, on May 20, 1996, the Company initiated an adversarial proceeding against Tri-Deck and Perry Gas. Perry Gas was the party which ultimately purchased the Company's gas production for the months in question. On January 20, 1998, Gulfport and the Litigation Trust entered into a Clarification Agreement to clarify provisions of the Plan regarding the rights of the Company and the Litigation Trust to prosecute certain causes of action arising from the Tri-Deck matter. As a part of the Clarification Agreement, the Litigation Trust will intervene or be substituted as the actual party in interest in the Tri-Deck case and reimbursed the Company $100,000 for legal fees incurred by the Company. As additional consideration for the contribution of this claim to the Litigation Trust, the Company is entitled to receive 85% of the recovery of all monies held in the court registry and 50% of the recovery from all other Tri-Deck litigation pursued by the Litigation Trust. No provision for the recognition of income concerning this matter has been reflected in the financial statements prior to 1999. The funds received from the Litigation Trust during 1999 represent settlement of the Tri-Deck case. On July 20, 1998, Sanchez Oil & Gas Corporation ("Sanchez") initiated litigation against the Company in the fifteenth Judicial District court, Parish of Lafayette, State of Louisiana. In its petition, Sanchez alleged, among other things, that the Company was obligated, by virtue of the terms of a letter of intent, to grant a sublease to Sanchez for an undivided 50% interest in two of the Company's oil, gas and mineral leases covering lands located in the North Bayou Penchant area of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. This lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice during 1999. On October 1, 1999, Plymouth Resources Group 1998 LLC filed a complaint in the Western District of Louisiana alleging breach of contract regarding rework operations at West Cote Blanche Bay. Plymouth has challenged the Company's right to conduct rework operations in late 1998 and 1999. Plymouth has requested damages in excess of $100,000, specific performance and an accounting. The Company does not believe that it breached any contract with Plymouth and is vigorously defending this lawsuit. Management does not expect this litigation to have a material impact on the financial statements. The Company owns and operates a production facility at WCBB. Pursuant to facility use agreements, the Company charges third parties including Texaco for using the facility. The Company and Texaco are currently negotiating past due amounts related to the facility. The Company believes that it has adequately recorded in its financial statements all material obligations arising from the operations of WCBB as well as revenues earned attributed to operating these facilities. Other Litigation The Company has been named as a defendant on various other litigation matters. The ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations for the periods presented in the financial statements. F-18 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 Concentration of Credit Risk The Company operates in the oil and natural gas industry principally in the state of Louisiana with sales to refineries, re-sellers such as pipeline companies, and local distribution companies. While certain of these customers are affected by periodic downturns in the economy in general or in their specific segment of the oil and natural gas industry, the Company believes that its level of credit-related losses due to such economic fluctuations has been immaterial and will continue to be immaterial to the Company's results of operations in the long term. During 1999 and 1998, the Company incurred bad debts of $56,000 and $244,000, respectively. The bad debt incurred during 1998 related to a disputed pre-bankruptcy receivable which was determined to be uncollectible. The Company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 the Company held cash in excess of insured limits in these banks totaling $5,962,000 and $3,983,000 respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1999, approximately 99% of the Company's revenues from oil and natural gas sales were attributable to five primary customers: Equiva Trading Company, Black Hills Energy Resources, Inc., Flash Oil & Gas Southwest, Inc., Burlington Resources, and Plains All American, Inc. During the year ended December 31, 1998, approximately 76% of the Company's revenues from oil and natural gas sales were attributable to sales to five primary customers: Equiva Trading Company, Gathering and Energy Marketing Corp., Black Hills Energy Resources, Inc., Prior Energy Company, and Plains Marketing, L.P. During the year ended December 31, 1997, approximately 99% of the Company's revenues from oil and gas sales were attributable to sales to five primary customers: Prior Energy Company, Wickford Energy Marketing, Inc., Gathering and Energy Marketing Corp., Texaco Trading and Transportation and Mobil Oil Corporation. Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 1999, is approximately $1,000,000 in production revenues remitted to the Company by certain of the above-named customers. The Company has not recognized these receipts as sales revenue in the accompanying statements of operations because it believes these funds exceed its share of revenues on the related properties. 14. LITIGATION TRUST ENTITY Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, all of the Company's possible causes of action against third parties (with the exception of certain litigation related to recovery of marine and rig equipment assets and claims against Tri-Deck), existing as of the effective date of the Plan, were transferred into a "Litigation Trust" controlled by an independent party for the benefit of most of the Company's existing unsecured creditors. The litigation related to recovery of marine and rig equipment and the Tri-Deck claims were subsequently transferred to the Litigation Trust as described below. The Litigation Trust was funded by a $3,000,000 cash payment from the Company, which was made on the Effective Date. The Company owns a 12% interest in the Litigation Trust with the other 88% being owned by the former general unsecured creditors of the Company. For financial statement reporting purposes, the Company has not recognized the potential value of recoveries which may ultimately be obtained, if any, as a result of the actions of the Litigation Trust, treating the entire $3,000,000 payment as a reorganization cost incurred during the period commencing January 1, 1997 and ending on July 10, 1997. On January 20, 1998, the Company and the Litigation Trust entered into a Clarification Agreement whereby the rights to pursue various claims reserved by the Company in the Plan of Reorganization were assigned to the Litigation Trust. In connection with this agreement, the Litigation Trust agreed to reimburse the Company $100,000 for legal fees the Company had incurred in connection these claims. As additional consideration for the contribution of this claim to the Litigation Trust, the Company is entitled to 20% to 80% of the net proceeds from these claims. During 1999, the Company received $1,342,000 in proceeds from the Litigation Trust. F-19 GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997 15.

On July 11, 1997, DLB Oil & Gas, Inc. and Wexford Management received, pursuant to the Plan, an aggregate of 13.2 million shares of Common Stock for various claims, assets and cash as detailed below: Unsecured debt of $34.3 million 2.88 million shares Contribution of DLB's interest in certain WCBB properties 5.62 million shares Cash of $5.0 million 1.43 million shares Contribution of $11.5 million of secured and asserted secured claims 3.27 million shares Total shares issued to DLB and Wexford Management 13.20 million shares For additional information concerning the Company's bankruptcy reorganization, see "Business - Events Leading to the Reorganization Case." Administrative Services Agreement After emerging from bankruptcy, the Company entered into an Administrative Service Agreement with DLB. The Administrative Service Agreement was terminated in June 1999. Prior to termination of the Agreement and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Administrative Services Agreement, DLB agreed to make available to the Company personnel, services, facilities, supplies, and equipment as the Company may need, including executive and managerial, 55 accounting, auditing and tax, engineering, geological and geophysical, legal, land and administrative and clerical services. The initial term was one year beginning on the date of the Administrative Services Agreement. The Administrative Services Agreement was to continue for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party by written notice no less than 60 days prior to the anniversary date of the Administrative Services Agreement. On April 28, 1998, in connection with the acquisition of DLB by Chesapeake Energy Corporation, the obligations of DLB under the Administrative Services Agreement were assigned to DLB Equities, L.L.C. Until the Administrative Services Agreement was terminated in June 1999, the services of Mike Liddell, Chief Executive Officer, and Mark Liddell, President, were provided under the Administrative Services Agreement. DLB Equities, L.L.C. is owned equally by Mike and Mark Liddell. At December 31, 1997, the Company owed DLB approximately $1,600,000 for services rendered pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. In March 1998, in order to facilitate the acquisition of DLB by Chesapeake Energy Corporation, Mike Liddell, Mark Liddell and Charles Davidson purchased the receivable from DLB for its then outstanding amount of approximately $1,600,000. Each of Messrs. Mike Liddell, Mark Liddell and Charles Davidson subsequently transferred his portion of the receivable to Liddell Investments, L.L.C., Liddell Holdings, L.L.C. and CD Holdings, L.L.C., respectively. The receivable accrued interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3% per annum. Liddell Investments, L.L.C., Liddell Holdings, L.L.C., and CD Holdings, L.L.C., exercised 632,484 rights in the November 20, 1998 Rights Offering through debt forgiveness as payment for the receivable. In return for the services rendered under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Company paid a monthly service charge based on the pro rata proportion of the Company's use of services, personnel, facilities, supplies and equipment provided by DLB Equities, L.L.C. as determined by DLB Equities, L.L.C. in a good-faith, reasonable manner. The service charge was calculated as the sum of (i) DLB Equities, L.L.C.'s fully allocated internal costs of providing personnel and/or performing services, (ii) the actual costs to DLB Equities, L.L.C. of any third-party services required, (iii) the equipment, occupancy, rental, usage, or depreciation and interest charges, and (iv) the actual cost to DLB Equities, L.L.C. of supplies. The fees provided for in the Administrative Services Agreement were approved by the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Plan and the Company believes that such fees are comparable to those that would be charged by an independent third party. The Company paid fees totaling $532,000 and $139,000 during the nine and six months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. During June 1999, the Administrative Services Agreement was terminated by mutual agreement between DLB Equities, L.L.C. and the Company's Board of Directors. All services previously provided by the Administrative Services Agreement were transferred directly to the Company. Stockholder Line of Credit On August 18, 1998, the Company entered into the Stockholder Credit Facility, a $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with CD Holdings, L.L.C., Liddell Investments, L.L.C., Liddell Holdings, L.L.C. and Wexford Entities (collectively the "Affiliated Stockholders"). Borrowing under the Stockholder Credit Facility was due on August 17, 1999 and bore interest at LIBOR plus 3%. Pursuant to the Stockholder Credit Facility, the Company paid the Affiliated Stockholders an aggregate commitment fee equal to $60,000. The Company repaid $2,000,000 of principal under the Amended ING Credit Agreement with borrowings under the Stockholder Credit Facility. The remaining $1,000,000 was used for working capital and general corporate purposes. On November 20, 1998, the Affiliated Stockholders converted this debt to 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the Rights Offering. On August 5, 1999, the Company entered into the Line of Credit for $3,238,000 with the Affiliated Stockholders. Borrowing under the Line of Credit was due on September 15, 1999 and bore interest at LIBOR plus 3%. Pursuant to the Line of Credit, the Company paid the Affiliated Eligible Stockholders an aggregate commitment fee equal to $65,000 in common stock and interest totaling $31,131. On September 15, 1999, the Affiliated Shareholders converted $3,030,000 of this line of credit into 4,040,011 shares of the Company's common stock in the Regulation D Private Placement Offering. The Company repaid $208,314 of this Line of Credit in cash to Affiliated Eligible Stockholders for debt not converted in the offering. 56 PART IV Item 14.
