Definitive Proxy Statement Parts I and III
PART 1
Item 1. BUSINESS
The registrant, Calcasieu Real Estate and Oil Co., Inc., (the "Company")
was incorporated under Louisiana law in 1930 as a spin-off of the Calcasieu
National Bank of Lake Charles, Louisiana to hold certain real estate and royalty
interests therefore owned by Calcasieu National Bank.
The principal office of the Company is One Lakeside Plaza, Lake Charles,
Louisiana. The business of the Company is conducted primarily at the principal
offices of its officers, who have other full-time employment.
The principal business of the Company has been the ownership and
preservation of the assets acquired at the Company's organization and
subsequently. The Company's primary activities have consisted of leasing its
properties and collecting rents and royalties derived therefrom. The mineral
interests of the Company are located in the Parishes of Calcasieu, Allen,
Acadia, Cameron, St. Landry, St. Mary, Vermilion and Jefferson Davis in
Louisiana. The Company owns approximately 12,170 acres of land in fee in the
Parishes of Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, LaFourche,
Sabine, St. Landry and Vermilion in Louisiana. Most of the Company's land and
mineral interests are located within 100 miles of the City of Lake Charles, in
southwestern and central Louisiana.
Of this total, 5,701 represents a 1/6th interest in 34,189 acres, of which
1,426 net acres were purchased in 1998. The Company paid $607,500 for these
1,426 acres and acquired all minerals thereto. The Company already owned a 40%
interest in 1,577 of these acres. Of the total acreage purchased, 3,608 acres
were purchased without the minerals.
In April, 1992, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the surface rights
and a 50% interest in the mineral rights to 952 acres, consisting of mainly
timber lands located in Beauregard and Calcasieu Parishes.
On October 29, 1997, Calcasieu Real Estate and Oil Co., Inc. purchased
3,496 acres of agricultural land in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, from Amoco
Production for $1,663,000. No minerals were included in the purchase.
Operations
The Company's income is derived primarily from its oil and gas properties.
Agriculture and timber income are the next largest sources of income.
Additional oil and gas income in the future will come from discoveries on the
Company's land.
Industry Segments
The purchase of additional real estate in 1990, 1992, 1997, and 1998 has
created "Agricultural Properties" and "Timber Properties" as additional industry
segments because revenues from these
1
properties exceed 10% of total revenues. The Company also receives mineral
rentals and royalties from some of these properties. Note 6 to the Financial
Statements on page 24 sets forth information on the business segments.
Employees
The Company currently employs a total of five persons in a part-time
capacity. The Company is subject to no union contracts nor does the Company
have any pension, profit sharing or deferred compensation plans.
Customers
The Company had three customers, the sales to which equal or exceed 10% of
the Company's total revenues. In 1998, sales to Riceland Petroleum Company
accounted for 10% of revenues, sales to Mitchell Energy accounted for 34% of
revenues and sales to Neuman Production accounted for 34% of revenues.
Y2K
The Company does not utilize computers for accounting purposes. Computers
used for analysis purposes are Y2K compliant. Outside vendors are advising the
Company as to their Y2K compliance programs.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
Until early 1990, the Company owned 2,022 acres in fee, a 50% undivided
interest in 440 acres, and a 40% undivided interest in 1,748 acres of immovable
(real) property located in the parishes of Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu,
Jefferson Davis, Sabine and St. Landry in Louisiana. The Company also owns a
20% interest in the minerals under approximately 3,330 surface acres, and a 40%
interest in the minerals under approximately 160 surface acres, located in the
parishes of Acadia, Allen, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, St. Landry, St. Mary and
Vermilion in Louisiana. All of the foregoing property is located in
southwestern and central Louisiana, within approximately 100 miles of the City
of Lake Charles. Approximately half of the acreage in which mineral interests
are held is in oil and gas production. In addition, the Company owns fractional
royalty interest in 36 properties covering 6,040 gross acres in eight parishes
in Louisiana.
In February of 1990 the Company acquired a 12.5% undivided fee interest in
34,309 acres (4,289) net acres) located in the Louisiana parishes of Allen,
Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, Sabine and Vermilion, and in
1998 the Company acquired an additional 4.17% interest in the same acreage. A
portion of these lands are the same as the 1,748 acres in which the company
owned a 40% position described in the first paragraph above. This new
acquisition consists of 17,088 gross acres of agriculture land, 7,572 acres of
commercial timber, 4,196 acres in pasture, 4,253 acres of marsh land and 1,200
acres for future subdivision as it is contiguous to the city limits of Lake
Charles. As a result of
2
this acquisition, the company now participates in oil and gas production in
Southeast Lunita Field, Lake Arthur Field, Edgerly Field, Welsh Field and North
Indian Village Field. The Company has also participated for the 1/6th interest
in the granting of oil and gas leases which are yet to be drilled.
In April of 1992, the Company purchased 952 acres of timberland in
Calcasieu and Beauregard Parishes for $475,000.
On October 29, 1997, Calcasieu Real Estate and Oil Co., Inc. purchased
3,496 acres of land in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, from Amoco Production Company
for $1,663,000.
The table below shows, for the years ended December 31, 1998, December 31,
1997, and December 31, 1996, net gas produced in thousands of cubic feet (MCF)
and net oil (including condensate and natural gas liquids) produced in barrels

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a co-defendant in a lawsuit filed by owners of eighty acres,
which the defendants owned the minerals. The landowners are asserting that the
mineral interest proscribed. Company's counsel has advised that he cannot offer
an opinion on the outcome awaiting review of the facts. The defendants intend
to defend the suit vigorously.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income after taxes was down 21% in 1998 from 1997. This was caused by
several factors. First, the Company had a decrease in revenues of 7% in 1998
from 1997. Timber sales decreased 64% from 1997. During 1998, gas production
increased 58% while the average sale price decreased 19%. Oil production
increased 65% and the average sales price decreased 32%. Income from mineral
leases and lease bonuses decreased 87%. The total net income before taxes for
all operations from the property purchased in 1990 was up from $154,338 to
$334,552 or an increase of 117%. The decrease in income from operations was
primarily due to a decrease in timber activities.
Information on the oil and gas properties is included in the notes to
financial statements, specifically as to reserve quantities and standardized
measure of discounted net cash flows. Both of those are unaudited.
Management believes that the company's revenues will be sufficient to meet
its existing capital needs and the needs of its anticipated future operations.
Long-term trends will depend upon the ability of management to find new
production to replace the depletion of the Company's present minerals.

[MCELROY, QUIRK & BURCH LETTERHEAD APPEARS HERE]
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc.
Lake Charles, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Calcasieu Real Estate &
Oil Co., Inc. as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of the Co-owners' Undivided Two-Thirds Interest in Walker
Louisiana Properties, of which Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. owns a
twenty-five percent undivided interest. The twenty-five percent undivided
interest consists of total assets of $1,781,597 and $1,128,744 as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and total revenues of $443,421 and $263,618 for
the years then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
report has been furnished to us, and in our opinion, insofar as it relates to
the amounts included for the Co-owners' Undivided Two-Thirds Interest in Walker
Louisiana Properties, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors,
the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information on pages 31
and 32 is presented for the purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CALCASIEU REAL ESTATE & OIL CO., INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business:
The Company's business is the ownership and preservation of the
assets acquired at the Company's organization and subsequent thereto.
The primary activities have consisted of leasing its properties and
collecting rents and royalties derived therefrom.
In February, 1990, the Company acquired a 12.5% interest in 34,189
acres of land in Southwest Louisiana. Among other uses, a portion of
the land is devoted to agricultural purposes. In November, 1998, the
Company purchased an additional 4.2% interest in this land, bringing
its total interest to 16.7%.
In April, 1992, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the surface
rights and a 50% interest in the mineral rights to 952 acres,
consisting of mainly timber land.
In October, 1997, the Company purchased approximately 3,496 acres of
agricultural property.
Significant accounting policies:
Cash and cash equivalents:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents
include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or
less.
Inventory:
Inventory consists of harvested crops valued at estimated selling
price at the date of the balance sheet.
16
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Pervasiveness of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Agricultural revenue:
Most agricultural income is derived under U.S. Government subsidy
programs. Under these programs, loans are made against crops as
harvested. However, delivery of the crops fulfills any further
obligation under the loan agreement, and thus revenues are
recognized as the harvested crops are delivered. Differences in the
price at ultimate sale of the products could result from quantity,
grade, and price, and additional revenues are derived at that time.
Investment securities:
The Company complies with the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Under the provisions of
this statement, management must make a determination at the time of
acquisition whether certain investments in debt and equity
securities are to be held as investments to maturity, held as
available for sale, or held for trading. Management, under a policy
adopted by the board of directors of the Company, made a
determination that all debt and equity securities owned at that
date and subject to the provisions of the statement would be
classified as held available-for-sale.
Under the accounting policies provided for investments classified
as held available-for-sale, all such debt securities and equity
securities that have readily determinable fair value shall be
measured at fair value in the balance sheet. Unrealized holding
gains and losses for available-for-sale securities shall be
excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount (net of income
taxes) as a separate component of retained earnings until realized.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other
than temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in
income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. Interest on debt securities is recognized in
income as earned, and dividends on marketable equity securities are
recognized in income when declared.
17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Major additions are
capitalized; maintenance and repairs are charged to income
currently. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Successful efforts accounting method:
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for
its oil and gas operations. Under the successful efforts method,
the costs of acquiring mineral interest, drilling and equipping
successful exploratory wells, and all development wells and related
facilities are capitalized. All other exploration costs, including
geological and geophysical costs, lease rentals and the cost of
drilling unsuccessful exploratory wells are charged to expense. Due
to the Company's small percentage ownership (in relation to the
total) of oil and gas properties, reserve information is not
available to the Company for mineral interests acquired. Depletion
of these interests is computed on the straight-line and accelerated
methods over an estimated life of five to seven years. Acquisition
costs of proved mineral interests for which reserve information is
available are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on
production and estimated proved reserves. Related tangible and
intangible costs are depreciated and amortized using the unit-of-
production method based on production and estimated proved
developed reserves.
Earnings per share:
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the years.
Income taxes:
The Company complies with the provisions of FASB Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
relative to the reporting of income taxes. This statement requires
an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and
reporting for income taxes. The objectives are to recognize the
amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and to
recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's
financial statements or tax returns. The elements with different
bases for financial and tax purposes are property and equipment,
investments, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable.
18
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The basic principles to be applied in accounting for income taxes at the
date of the financial statements are:
1. A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated
taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year.
2. A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated
future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and
carryforwards.
3. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets
is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of
future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.
4. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if considered
necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on
available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Comprehensive income:
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This
statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements.
Total comprehensive income and the components of accumulated other
comprehensive income are presented in the Statements of Changes in
Stockholders' Equity. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform
to the requirements of SFAS 130. SFAS 130 had no impact on the
Company's net income or stockholders' equity.
Reclassifications:
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform
to current year presentation.
Note 2. Securities Available-for-Sale
Debt and equity securities have been classified in the balance sheet
according to management's intent in the current and noncurrent asset
sections under the headings securities available-for-sale. The carrying
amount of securities and their approximate fair values at December 31,
1998 and 1997 follow:

Reserve quantities (unaudited):
Reserve information relating to estimated quantities of the Company's
interest in proved reserves of natural gas and crude (including
condensate and natural gas liquids) is not available. Such reserves are
located entirely within the United States. A schedule indicating such
reserve quantities is, therefore, not presented.
21
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The wells remain in production at December 31, 1998, including royalty
interests and working interests obtained through back-in provisions of
royalty agreements. Production from such royalty interests and working
interests comprises 100% of the Company's oil and gas revenues in 1998,
1997 and 1996.
Actual production has exceeded original estimates of reserves, and
remaining reserves have not been revised. Therefore, the Company is not
able to complete the computations of discounted future cash flows and
reconciliation thereof.
Note 4. Income Taxes
The Company files federal income tax returns on a calendar year basis.
The net deferred tax liability in the accompanying balance sheet

Company was entitled to an investment tax credit related to reforestation
expenditures totaling $1,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The

Note 6. Company Operations
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". This statement replaces Statement
No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise",
and establishes new standards for defining the Company's segments and
disclosing information about them. It requires that the segments be
based on the internal reporting of the Company's operations.
The Company's operations are classified into three principal operating
segments which are all located in the United States: oil and gas
properties, agricultural properties, and timber properties. The
Company's reportable business segments are strategic business units
that offer income from different products. They are managed separately
due to the unique aspects of each area.

There are no intersegment sales reported in the accompanying income
statements. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The
Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations
before income taxes excluding nonrecurring gains and losses on
securities held available for sale. Income before income tax represents
net sales less operating expenses and other income and expenses of a
general corporate nature. Identifiable assets by segment are those
assets that are used in the Company's operations within that industry.
General corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash items,
accounts receivable, and marketable equity and debt securities.
The following summarizes major customer information at December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 from oil and gas revenues:

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a co-defendant in a lawsuit filed by previous owners of
property that is now partially owned by the Company. In this suit, the
Plaintiffs assert that the sale of a strip of property in 1914 created
two servitudes, one of which, the co-defendants claim ownership,
expired by liberative prescription in 1940. Outside counsel for the
Company has advised that at this stage in the proceedings he cannot
offer an opinion as to the probable outcome. The Company has indicated
that it will defend the suit vigorously.
The Board of Directors of the Company have agreed to suspend the
payment of dividends to shareholders in an effort to accelerate the
repayment of the note payable related to the 1998 acquisition discussed
in Note 9.
