Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
GeoGlobal Resources Inc.
(a development stage enterprise)
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2005
On August 29, 2003, all of the issued and outstanding shares of GeoGlobal Resources (India) Inc.
(GeoGlobal India) were acquired by GeoGlobal Resources Inc., formerly Suite101.com, Inc. As a
result of the transaction, the former shareholder of GeoGlobal India held approximately 69.3% of
the issued and outstanding shares of GeoGlobal Resources Inc. This transaction is considered an
acquisition of GeoGlobal Resources Inc. (the accounting subsidiary and legal parent) by GeoGlobal
India (the accounting parent and legal subsidiary) and has been accounted for as a purchase of the
net assets of GeoGlobal Resources Inc. by GeoGlobal India. Accordingly, this transaction
represents a recapitalization of GeoGlobal India, the legal subsidiary, effective August 29, 2003.
These consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of GeoGlobal Resources Inc. but
are a continuation of the financial statements of the accounting acquirer, GeoGlobal India. The
assets and liabilities of GeoGlobal India are included in the consolidated financial statements at
their historical carrying amounts. As a result, the stockholders equity of GeoGlobal Resources
Inc. is eliminated and these consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations of
GeoGlobal Resources Inc. only from the date of the acquisition.
GeoGlobal Resources Inc. changed its name from Suite101.com, Inc. after receiving shareholder
approval at the Annual Shareholders Meeting held on January 8, 2004. Collectively, GeoGlobal
Resources Inc., GeoGlobal India and its other wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, are
referred to as the Company or GeoGlobal.
The Company is engaged primarily in the pursuit of petroleum and natural gas through exploration
and development in India. Since inception, the efforts of GeoGlobal have been devoted to the
pursuit of Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) with the Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation
(GSPC) and the Government of India and the development thereof. To date, the Company has not
earned revenue from these operations and is considered to be in the development stage. The
recoverability of the costs incurred to date is uncertain and dependent upon achieving commercial
production or sale, the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient financing to fulfill its
obligations under the PSCs in India and upon future profitable operations and upon finalizing
agreements with GSPC.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

a) |
|
Exploration costs India |
|
|
|
|
The exploration costs incurred to date are not subject to depletion and cover six
exploration blocks, known as the KG Block, Mehsana, Sanand/Miroli, Tarapur, Ankleshwar
and the DS Block. It is anticipated these exploration costs will be subject to depletion
no earlier than the 2007 fiscal year. |
|

b) |
|
Capitalized overhead costs |
|
|
|
|
Included in the US$1,102,057 of exploration cost additions during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 (year ended December 31, 2004 US$460,016) are certain overhead costs
capitalized by the Company in the amount of US$283,276 (year ended December 31, 2004
US$336,535) directly related to the exploration activities in India. Of the capitalized
overhead amount, US$41,266 (year ended December 31, 2004 US$49,370) was paid to third
parties, and US$210,809 was paid to and on behalf of a related party (year ended December
31, 2004 US$287,165) (see note 7c). These indirect capitalized overhead costs are
incurred solely by and on behalf of the Company in providing its services under the
Production Sharing Contracts and the Carried Interest Agreement and are therefore not
reimbursable under the agreements. |

Carried Interest Agreement |
|
|
|
|
As at September 30, 2005, GSPC has incurred costs of approximately Rs 41.6 Crore
(approximately US$9.3 million) (December 31, 2004 Rs 22.8 Crore (approximately US$5.0
million)) attributable to GeoGlobal under the Carried Interest Agreement (CIA) of which
50% is for the account of Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc. (RGM), a related party under the
terms of the Participating Interest Agreement. |
|
|
d) |
|
Participating Interest Agreement |
|
|
|
|
On March 27, 2003, GeoGlobal entered into a Participating Interest Agreement (PIA) with
RGM, whereby GeoGlobal assigned and holds in trust for RGM, subject to Government of
India consent, 50% of the benefits and obligations of the PSC-KG and the CIA leaving
GeoGlobal with a net 5% Participating Interest in the PSC-KG and a net 5% carried
interest in the CIA. |
|
|
e) |
|
Deed of Assignment and Assumption |
|
|
|
|
On April 7, 2005, the Company entered into a Deed of Assignment and Assumption with GSPC
whereby, subject to the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to acquire and assume
and GSPC agreed to assign a 20% participating interest in the onshore Tarapur Exploration
Block (CB-ON/2). The assignment of the 20% interest is subject to obtaining the consent
of the Government of India to the assignment which consent has not yet been obtained.
Based on the Companys past experience as a party to other PSCs with GSPC and its
relationship with GSPC, the Company believes that such consent from the Government of
India will be forthcoming. In the event such consent is not obtained, the assignment
would be terminated. Under such circumstances, the Company intends to negotiate an
alternative acceptable arrangement with GSPC. The payment of the US$579,523 to GSPC
under the terms of the Companys agreement with GSPC has been included in Exploration
costs India at September 30, 2005. |

September 2005 Financing |
|
|
|
|
During September 2005, GeoGlobal completed the sale of 3,252,400 Units of its securities
at US$6.50 per Unit, together with a concurrent sale of an additional 1,000,000 Units on
the same terms, for aggregate gross cash total proceeds of $27,640,600. |
|
|
|
|
Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one half of one warrant. One full warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share for US$9.00, for a term of
two years expiring September 2007. The warrants are subject to accelerated expiration in
the event that the price of the Companys common shares on the American Stock Exchange is
US$12.00 or more for 20 consecutive trading days, the resale of the shares included in
the Units and issuable on exercise of the warrants has been registered under the US
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), and the hold period for Canadian
subscribers has expired. In such events, the warrant term will be reduced to 30 days
from the date of issuance of a news release announcing such accelerated expiration of the
warrant term. |
|
|
|
|
Costs of US$1,496,672 were incurred in issuing shares in these transactions which
included a fee of US$1,268,436 paid to Jones Gable & Company Limited with respect to the
sale of the 3,252,400 Units, and, in addition, Compensation Options were issued to Jones
Gable & Company Limited entitling it to purchase an additional 195,144 Units at an
exercise price of US$6.50 per Unit through their expiration on September 9, 2007.
Compensation Options are also subject to accelerated expiration on the same terms and
conditions as the warrants issued in the transaction. |
|
|
d) |
|
Options |
|
|
|
|
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, nil and 335,000 options,
respectively, were exercised for gross proceeds of US$ nil and US$462,200, respectively.
As at September 30, 2005, there were 4,115,000 options outstanding at various prices
which, if exercised, would result in total proceeds of US$5,792,000. |
|
|
e) |
|
Weighted-average number of shares |
|
|
|
|
For purposes of the determination of net loss per share, the basic and diluted
weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 was 53,920,318 and 51,503,725, respectively (three and nine months
ended September 30, 2004 was 45,287,290 and 38,815,763, respectively). The number for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 excludes the
5,000,000 shares currently held in escrow. |

Stock-based compensation |
|
|
|
|
The Company has adopted a 1998 Stock Incentive Plan under which, as amended through June
2005, 8,000,000 shares of its common stock have been reserved for issuance under the
Plan. Among other things, the Company is authorized to grant stock options under the
terms of the plan to employees, members of the Board of Directors, consultants and
independent advisors who provide services to the Company. Under the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 123, the Company is required to measure and disclose on a
pro-forma basis the impact on net loss and net loss per share of applying the fair value
based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and
directors. |
|
|
|
|
Under this method, compensation cost is measured at fair value at grant date and
recognized over the vesting period. If the fair value based method had been used, the
stock based compensation costs, pro-forma net loss and pro-forma net loss per share would
be as follows: |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
GeoGlobal Resources Inc.
(a development stage enterprise)
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2005
On August 29, 2003, pursuant to an agreement dated April 4, 2003 and amended August 29, 2003, the
Company completed a transaction with Mr. Roy and GeoGlobal Resources (India) Inc. (GeoGlobal
India), a corporation then wholly-owned by Mr. Roy, whereby the Company acquired from Mr. Roy all
of the outstanding capital stock of GeoGlobal India. In exchange for the outstanding capital stock
of GeoGlobal India, the Company issued 34.0 million shares of our Common Stock. Of the 34.0
million shares, 14.5 million shares were delivered to Mr. Roy at the closing of the transaction
being August 29, 2003 and an aggregate of 19.5 million shares were held in escrow by an escrow
agent. The terms of the escrow provide for the release of the shares upon the occurrence of
certain developments relating to the outcome of oil and natural gas exploration and development
activities conducted on the KG Block. On August 27, 2004, 14.5 million shares were released to Mr.
Roy from escrow upon the actual commencement of a drilling program on the KG Block. The final 5.0
million shares remaining in escrow will be released only if a commercial discovery is declared on
the KG Block. In addition to the shares of Common Stock, the Company delivered to Mr. Roy a $2.0
million promissory note, of which $500,000 was paid on the closing of the transaction on August 29,
2003, $500,000 was paid on October 15, 2003, $500,000 was paid on January 15, 2004 and $500,000 was
paid on June 30, 2004. The note did not accrue interest. The note was secured by the outstanding
stock of GeoGlobal India which has subsequently been released. As a consequence of the
transaction, Mr. Roy held as of the closing of the transaction an aggregate of 34.0 million shares
of our outstanding Common Stock, or approximately 69.3% of the shares outstanding, assuming all
shares held in escrow are released to him. The terms of the transaction provide that Mr. Roy is to
have the right to vote all 34.0 million shares following the closing, including the shares during
the period they are held in escrow. Shares not released from the escrow will be surrendered back
to GeoGlobal.
As discussed in note 1, the acquisition of GeoGlobal India by GeoGlobal was accounted for as a
reverse takeover transaction. As a result, the cost of the transaction was determined based upon
the net assets of GeoGlobal deemed to have been acquired. These consolidated financial statements
include the results of operations of GeoGlobal from the date of acquisition. The net identifiable
assets acquired of GeoGlobal are as follows:

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees |
|
a) |
|
The Company has provided to the Government of India two irrevocable letters of
credit totalling US$392,485 (Mehsana US$195,055 and Sanand/Miroli US$197,430) (December
31, 2004 US$206,796) secured by term deposits of the Company in the same amount as
guarantees for the performance of the minimum work commitments for the budget period
ending March 31, 2006 of Phase I of both of these Cambay Blocks. |
|
|
b) |
|
The Company is required to expend funds on the exploration activities to fulfill
the terms of the minimum work commitment based on our participating interest for Phase I
pursuant to the PSCs in respect of each of our exploration blocks as follows: |
|
i) |
|
Mehsana Acquire, process and interpret 75 square kilometers of 3D
seismic and drill 7 exploratory wells between 1,000 and 2,200 meters. |
|
|
ii) |
|
Sanand/Miroli Acquire, process and interpret 200 square kilometers of
3D seismic and drill 12 exploratory wells between 1,500 and 3,000 meters. |
|
|
iii) |
|
Ankleshwar Acquire, process and interpret 448 square kilometers of 3D
seismic and drill 14 exploratory wells between 1,500 and 2,500 meters. |
|
|
iv) |
|
DS Block Gravity and geochemical surveys and a 12,000 line kilometer
aero magnetic survey. |
|
c) |
|
As the holder of a participating interest in the Tarapur block, the Company will be
required to fund its 20% share of all further exploration and development costs incurred
on the exploration block. It is expected that the total capital the Company will be
required to contribute to exploration activities on Tarapur during 2005 based on the 20%
participating interest will be approximately $300,000 and the Company has committed to
expend an aggregate of approximately $1.2 million for exploration activities under the
terms of the agreement entered into covering the Tarapur block over the period ending
November 22, 2007. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to keep in
force a Financial and Performance Guarantee securing its performance under the Tarapur
PSC. |

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (continued) |
|
d) |
|
Under the terms of our PSC relating to the KG Block, the first phase of the
exploration period was to expire on September 11, 2005. The PSC provides that by the end
of the first phase, the contracting parties, in addition to other parts of the work
program which have been completed, shall have drilled at least fourteen wells. Through
September 11, 2005, three wells had been drilled on the exploration block, leaving eleven
wells to be drilled. The PSC provides that, if at the end of an exploration phase a work
program for that phase is not completed, the time for completion of the exploration
program for that phase is to be extended for a period necessary to enable completion but
not exceeding six months provided the parties (i) submit a request by written notice to
the Government of India at least thirty days prior to the expiration of the relevant
phase, (ii) can show technical or other good reasons for the non-completion of the work
program, and (iii) the management committee gives its consent to the extension. Any such
extension that is granted is to be deducted from the next succeeding exploration phase.
On August 5, 2005, a written notice requesting the six month extension was submitted and
on August 29, 2005, the management committee consented to the extension of six months to
March 11, 2006 and deducted the six month extension from the Phase II exploration period. |
|
|
|
|
In the event the eleven additional wells are not drilled by March 11, 2006, the
Government of India would have the right to assert that the contracting parties have
failed to comply with or have contravened a material provision of the PSC. Under such
circumstances, the PSC will be subject to termination by the Government of India on
ninety days written notice, unless such failure of compliance or contravention is
remedied within the ninety-day period or such extended period as may be granted by the
Government of India. In the event the PSC is terminated by the Government of India, or
in the event the work program is not fulfilled by the end of the relevant exploration
phase, each party to the PSC is to pay to the Government of India its participating
interest share of an amount which is equal to the amount that would be required to
complete the minimum work program for that phase. We are of the view that GSPC, under
the terms of our CIA, would be liable for our participating interest share of the amount
required to complete the minimum work program for the phase. However, termination of the
PSC by the Government of India would result in the loss of our interest in the KG Block
other than areas determined to encompass commercial discoveries. To September 30, 2005,
exploration costs related to the KG Block capitalized in the Companys accounts amount to
US$791,700. |

Subsequent Events |
|
|
|
On October 25, 2005, the Company filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement under the Act with respect to the registration for resale of
6,671,316 shares of the Companys common stock by the holders. The shares of common
stock were issued in the Companys 2005 financings and include the shares of common stock
issuable on exercise of the warrants and compensation options issued in those financings.
The filing of the registration statement fulfilled the Companys obligation with respect
to the registration of the securities issued in the transactions and resulted in the
termination of the rights issued to the purchasers in the transactions to purchase
444,754 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase an aggregate 222,377 shares of
Common Stock exercisable at $9.00 per share through September 9, 2007 in the event the
Company failed to file the registration statement on or before November 8, 2005. |

Recent Accounting Standards |
|
a) |
|
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement
No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar
to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no
longer an alternative. Statement 123(R) must be adopted no later than January 1, 2006.
Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet
been issued. The Company was planning to adopt Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2005,
however, on April 14, 2005, the Securities Exchange Commission provided for a phased-in
implementation process for Statement 123(R). As such, the Company is delaying
implementation until January 1, 2006. |
|
|
|
|
The Company intends to adopt Statement 123(R) using the modified prospective method. |
|
|
b) |
|
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections (FAS 154), a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB
Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements (FAS 3).
FAS 154 replaces the provisions of FAS 3 with respect to reporting accounting changes in
interim financial statements. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early
adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal
years beginning after June 1, 2005. |
|
|
|
|
The Company intends to adopt FAS 154 on January 1, 2006. |

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operation should be
read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information
including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results and business plans
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to such
differences include those discussed in Risk Factors, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes and managements discussion and analysis thereto included in the Companys annual report
on Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.
An Overview of Our Business Activities
We are engaged, through subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we are a participant, in the
exploration for and development of oil and natural gas reserves. At present, these activities are
being undertaken in locations where we and our joint venture participants have been granted
exploration rights pursuant to agreements we have entered into with the Government of India. As of
September 30, 2005, we have entered into agreements with respect to six of these exploration blocks
as follows:
|
|
|
The first of our agreements, entered into in February 2003, grants exploration
rights in an area offshore eastern India. We refer to this as the KG Block and we
have a net 5% carried interest under this agreement. |
|
|
|
|
We have entered into two agreements which grant exploration rights in areas onshore
in the Cambay Basin in the State of Gujarat in western India. These agreements were
entered into with the Government of India in February 2004 and we have a 10%
participating interest under each of these agreements. We refer to these as the
Mehsana Block and the Sanand/Miroli Block. |
|
|
|
|
In April 2005, we entered into an agreement with Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation
Limited (GSPC), providing for our purchase and the sale by GSPC, subject to
Government of India consent, of a 20% participating interest in the agreement granting
exploration rights onshore in the Cambay Basin in the State of Gujarat. We refer to
this as the Tarapur Block. |
|
|
|
|
On September 23, 2005, we signed agreements with respect to two additional
locations. One area in which we hold a 10% participating interest is located onshore
in the Cambay Basin located in the State of Gujarat south-east of our three existing
Cambay blocks. The second area is onshore in the Deccan Syneclise Basin located in the
northern portion of the State of Maharashtra in west-central India for which we operate
and hold a 100% participating interest. |
All of our exploration activities should be considered highly speculative.

A COMPARISON OF OUR OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND
2004
Statement of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2005
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we had expenses of $286,843 compared with
expenses of $170,208 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Our general and administrative
expenses increased to $179,516 from $83,322 for the same period in 2004. This increase is
primarily the result of approximately $44,500 increase in travel and hotel this quarter related to
the Companys financing efforts. Otherwise, our general and administrative costs increased
slightly over the same period in 2004. Our general and administrative expenses include transfer
agent fees and services as well as costs related to the corporate head office including
administrative services, rent and office costs.
Our consulting fees of $53,295 during the three months ended September 30, 2005 decreased slightly
from $60,474 for the same period in 2004. These consulting fees include $12,500 paid under the
Technical Services Agreement for both periods and fees incurred for employing various technical and
corporate consultants which advised us on a variety of matters. Professional fees increased to
$41,382 during the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $10,504 during the same period in
2004. Professional fees include those paid to our auditors for audit and tax services, fees paid
to our legal advisors for services provided with regard to filing various SEC filings, corporate
governance matters, our raising capital transactions and preparation and review of our oil and gas
and other agreements.
Depreciation and depletion decreased slightly to $12,650 compared to $15,908 for the same period in
2004.
Our other expenses and income during the three months ended September 30, 2005 resulted in income
of $69,495 compared to $7,043 during the same period in 2004. The increase can be attributed to
interest income of $77,693 in the third quarter of 2005 which arose out of interest earned on our
cash balances we held during the quarter as compared to $6,386 during the same period in 2004.
This increase is a result of the significant increase in the size of our cash balances as well as
an increase in the US prime interest rate. Included in other expenses and income is a foreign
exchange loss of $8,198 compared to a slight gain of $657 in the same quarter of 2004.
Reflecting the overall increase in the fees and expenses above during the three months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period ending September 30, 2004, we had a net loss of
$217,348 in 2005 compared to a net loss of $163,165 in 2004.
We capitalize certain overhead costs directly related to our exploration activities in India.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005 these capitalized overhead costs were $126,556
compared to $85,031 during the three months ended September 30, 2004.
Nine months ended September 30, 2005
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we had expenses of $691,979 compared with expenses
of $703,597 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Our general and administrative expenses
increased to $369,450 from $357,247 for the same period in 2004. This increase is primarily the
result of an increase in travel and hotel incurred in relation to the Companys financing efforts
during the period as compared to the same period in 2004. Otherwise, our general and
administrative costs have decreased slightly for the period ending September 30, 2005 as compared
to the same period in 2004. Our general and administrative expenses include transfer agent fees
and services as well as costs related to the corporate head office including administrative
services, rent and office costs.
Our consulting fees of $154,869 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased from
$186,958 for the same period in 2004. These consulting fees include $37,500 paid under the
Technical Services Agreement for both periods. Consulting fees were incurred for employing various
technical and corporate consultants which advised us on a variety of matters. Professional fees
increased to $131,623 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $116,090 during the same
period in 2004. Professional fees include those paid to our auditors for audit and tax services,
fees paid to our legal
Page 22
advisors for services provided with regard to filing various SEC documents and review of our oil
and gas agreements. The increase is attributable to an approximately $15,000 increase in our fees
paid to our auditors for additional work incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as
compared to the same period for 2004.
Depreciation and depletion decreased slightly to $36,037 compared to $43,302 for the same period in
2004.
Our other expenses and income during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulted in income of
$99,273 compared to $32,688 during the same period in 2004. The increase can be primarily
attributed to interest income of $111,979 in the first three quarters of 2005 which arose out of
interest earned on our cash balances we held during the period as compared to $19,361 during the
same period in 2004. This increase is a result of the significant increase in our cash balances as
well as an increase in the US prime interest rate. There was no recovery of consulting fees and
equipment costs from services provided and billed out to GSPC during the first nine months of 2005,
compared to $16,500 recovered in the first nine months of 2004. Included in other expense and
income is also a foreign exchange loss of $12,706 compared to a foreign exchange loss of $3,173 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Reflecting the overall increase in our other income combined with only a small decrease in our
expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period ending
September 30, 2004, we had a net loss of $592,706 in 2005 compared to a net loss of $670,909 in
2004.
We capitalize certain overhead costs directly related to our exploration activities in India.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 these capitalized overhead costs were $283,276
compared to $252,299 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2005, our cash and cash equivalents were $35,581,057. The majority of these funds
are currently held as US funds in our bank accounts and in term deposits earning interest based on
the US prime rate.
Three months ended September 30, 2005
The increase in our cash and cash equivalents of $30,009,266 from $5,571,791 at June 30, 2005 is
the result of funds used in operating and investing activities and provided by financing activities
as follows:
Our net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was
$191,650 as compared to $262,107 for the same period in 2004. This decrease is mostly as a result
of a decrease in our accounts payable used in the operating activities of $1,970 as compared to a
decrease of $159,471 in the same quarter of 2004 due to a large accounts payable balance at
December 31, 2003. This amount is offset by an increase in our net loss for the quarter in 2005 of
$217,348 as compared to a net loss of $163,165 for the same period in 2004.
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $543,792 as
compared with $316,256 for the same quarter in 2004. This increase is for accrued liabilities with
respect to the purchase of property and equipment which is consistent with our increased activities
in the Cambay Basin.
The majority of the increase in our cash and cash equivalents is attributable to the cash provided
by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2005 of $30,744,708 as compared
to $7,500 for the same quarter in 2004. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we completed
the sale of 3,252,400 Units of our securities at $6.50 per Unit, together with a concurrent sale of
an additional 1,000,000 Units on the same terms, for aggregate cash gross proceeds of $27,640,600.
This amount combined with cash of $4,525,450 provided from the issuance of 1,899,300 shares of
common stock on the exercise of common stock purchase and broker warrants issued in our 2003
financing, less financing costs of $1,496,672 incurred in connection with the 2005 financing
accounts for the increase in our cash and cash equivalents. During the quarter ended September 30,
2004, 5,000 broker warrants were exercised for proceeds of $7,500.
Page 23
Nine months ended September 30, 2005
The increase in our cash and cash equivalents of $31,161,459 from $4,419,598 at December 31, 2004
is primarily the result of funds used in operating and investing activities, and provided by
financing activities as follows:
Our net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was
$508,824 as compared to $834,423 for the same period in 2004. This decrease is mostly as a result
of a decrease in our net loss to $592,706 in 2005 from $670,909 for the same period in 2004
combined with an increase in our accounts payable used in operating activities for the period of
$22,333 as compared to a decrease of $176,311 for the same period in 2004 as a result of a large
accounts payable balance at December 31, 2003.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1,341,775 as
compared to $652,078 for the same period in 2004. This increase is a result of additional
purchases of property and equipment which is consistent with our increased activity in the Cambay
basin.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $33,012,058
as compared to cash used in financing activities of $902,500 for the same period in 2004. During
the period ended September 30, 2005, we completed the sale of 3,252,400 Units of our securities at
$6.50 per Unit, together with a concurrent sale of an additional 1,000,000 Units on the same terms,
for aggregate cash gross proceeds of $27,640,600. This amount combined with cash of $6,809,800
which was provided from the issuance of 3,090,400 shares of common stock on the exercise of
options, purchase warrants and broker warrants issued in our 2003 financing, less financing costs
of $1,496,672 incurred in connection with the 2005 financing accounts for the increase in our cash
and cash equivalents. The amount of $902,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 included
the full repayment of $1,000,000 against the note payable, net of $97,500 realized from the
issuance of 65,000 shares of common stock on the exercise of options and broker warrants.
The KG Block and Our Carried Interest Agreement
At September 30, 2005, GSPC, the Operator of the KG Block, has expended on exploration activities
approximately $9.3 million attributable to us under the Carried Interest Agreement (CIA) as
compared to $5.0 million at December 31, 2004 and $3.63 million at September 30, 2004. Of this
amount, 50% is for the account of Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc. (RGM). Under the terms of the CIA,
GeoGlobal and RGM are carried by GSPC for 100% of all our share of any costs during the exploration
phase on the KG Block prior to the start date of initial commercial production.
Under the terms of the PSC, GSPC is committed to expend further funds for the exploration of and
drilling on the KG Block. Preliminary budgets estimate that these expenditures attributable to us
will total approximately $22.0 million over the 6.5 year term of the PSC, including the $9.3
million attributable to us through September 30, 2005. Additional expenditures may be required for
the cost overruns and completion of commercially successful wells. We are unable to estimate the
amount of additional expenditures GSPC will make attributable to us prior to the start date of
initial commercial production under the CIA or when, if ever, any commercial production will
commence. As provided in the CIA, we will be required to bear the expenditures attributable to us
after the start date of initial commercial production on the KG Block. Of the expenditures
attributable to us, 50% are for the account of RGM under the terms of the Participating Interest
Agreement (PIA).
We will not realize cash flow from the KG venture until such time as the expenditures attributed to
us, including those expenditures made for the account of RGM under the CIA have been recovered by
GSPC from future production revenue. Under the terms of the CIA, all of our proportionate share of
capital costs for exploration and development activities must be repaid to GSPC without interest
over the projected production life or ten years, whichever is less.
Page 24
Cambay Blocks
We have committed to expend funds for exploration activities under the terms of the PSCs on two of
the Cambay Blocks, Mehsana and Sanand/Miroli, over a period of 6 years. As at September 30, 2005,
we have incurred costs of approximately $350,000 with respect to these contracts. We estimate that
our expenditures for these purposes during the balance of the 2005 fiscal year will be
approximately $1.2 million, based upon our 10% participating interest in these PSCs.
We have committed to expend an aggregate of approximately $1.2 million for exploration activities
under the terms of a Deed of Assignment and Assumption entered into covering the Tarapur block over
the period ending November 22, 2007. As at September 30, 2005, we have incurred costs of
approximately $580,000 with respect to this agreement. We estimate that our expenditures for these
purposes during the balance of the 2005 fiscal year will be approximately $300,000, based upon our
20% participating interest in this agreement.
2005 and Intended 2006 Activities
We expect our exploration and development activities pursuant to the PSCs we are parties to will
continue throughout 2005 and 2006 in accordance with the terms of those agreements.
On September 23, 2005, we entered into two PSCs with the Government of India covering two new
onshore exploration blocks in India under the Fifth round of the New Exploration Licensing Policy
(NELP-V). The first block is the DS Block (DS-ONN-2003/1), which covers an area of approximately
3,155 square kilometers (sq. km) onshore in the Deccan Syneclise Basin located in the northern
portion of the State of Maharashtra in west-central India and in which GeoGlobal will hold a 100%
participating interest (PI) and be the operator. The second block is the Ankleshwar Block
(CB-ONN-2003/2), which covers an area of approximately 448 sq. km onshore in the State of Gujarat
south-east of GeoGlobals three existing Cambay blocks. GeoGlobal is part of a consortium and
holds a 10% PI in the Ankleshwar Block. GSPC is the operator of the Ankleshwar Block and holds a
50% PI, with the remainder held by GAIL (India) Ltd. and Jubilant Capital Pvt. Ltd.
Under the terms of the new PSCs, we have committed to expend funds on the exploration and drilling
of these new exploration blocks. No budgets have yet been approved by the Management Committees on
these new exploration blocks, however preliminary estimates of our expenditures are approximately
$1.7 million on the Ankleshwar Block and $9.6 million on the DS Block for exploration activities
over a period of seven years. As at September 30, 2005, we have incurred costs of approximately
$18,000 with respect to these agreements. We estimate our expenditures for these purposes during
the balance of the fourth quarter of 2005 will be approximately $130,000 based upon our
participating interests in these PSCs.
In addition, as opportunities arise, we may seek to acquire participating interests in exploration
blocks where PSCs have been heretofore awarded by the Government of India. The acquisition of any
such interests would be subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and obtaining the
requisite government consents and other approvals. Depending upon the scope of our activities
during the year, we may require additional capital during 2006 for the possible acquisition of
further participating interests in PSCs in drilling blocks heretofore awarded by the Government of
India. We may also require additional capital in order to participate in ventures bidding for the
grant of PSCs for future exploration blocks to be awarded by the Government of India. We believe
it can be expected that our interest in such ventures would be a participating interest. Until the
scope of any possible such activities has been definitively established, we are unable to estimate
the amount of any funds that may be required for these purposes. As the holder of a participating
interest in any such possible activities, it can be expected that we will be required to contribute
capital to any such ventures in proportion to our interest in the ventures.
We believe that our available cash resources, including the proceeds received from our financings
completed in 2005 and the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants and options will
be sufficient to meet all our expenses, cash requirements and commitments during the balance of the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006.
We do not at this time, have any present plans to make any large acquisition, nor do we expect to
make any significant changes to our personnel.

Cautionary Statement For Purposes Of The Safe Harbor Provisions Of The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act Of 1995
With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report are
forward-looking statements as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking
statements made herein include, but are not limited to, the statements in this Quarterly Report
regarding our plans and objectives relating to our future operations, plans and objectives
regarding the exploration, development and production activities conducted on the exploration
blocks in India in which we have interests, plans regarding drilling activities intended to be
conducted through the ventures in which we are a participant, the success of those drilling
activities and our ability and the ability of the ventures to complete any wells on the exploration
blocks, to develop reserves of hydrocarbons in commercially marketable quantities, to establish
facilities for the collection, distribution and marketing of hydrocarbons, to produce oil and
natural gas in commercial quantities and to realize revenues from the sales of those hydrocarbons.
Forward-looking statements also include our plans and objectives to join with others or to directly
seek to enter into or acquire interests in additional Production Sharing Contracts with the
Government of India. Our assumptions, plans and expectations regarding our future capital
requirements, our plans and intentions regarding our plans to raise additional capital, the costs
and expenses to be incurred in conducting any exploration, well drilling, development and
production activities and the adequacy of our capital to meet our requirements for our present and
anticipated levels of activities are all forward-looking statements. These statements appear,
among other places, under the following captions: Risk Factors, and Managements Discussion and
Analysis and Plan of Operation. We cannot assure you that our assumptions or our business plans
and objectives discussed herein will prove to be accurate or be able to be attained. We cannot
assure you that any commercially recoverable quantities of hydrocarbon reserves will be discovered
on the exploration blocks in which we have an interest. Our ability to realize revenues cannot be
assured. Our ability to successfully drill, test and complete producing wells cannot be assured.
We cannot assure you that we will have available to us the capital required to meet our plans and
objectives at the times and in the amounts required. We cannot assure you that we will be
successful in joining any further ventures seeking to be granted Production Sharing Contracts by
the Government of India or that we will be successful in acquiring interests in existing ventures.
We cannot assure you that the Government of India will consent to the assignment by GSPC of the 20%
participating interest in the Tarapur Block or that the Company will be successful in entering into
alternative acceptable arrangements on commercially favorable terms with GSPC should that consent
not be forthcoming. If our plans fail to materialize, your investment will be in jeopardy. We
cannot assure you that the outcome of testing of one or more wells on the KG Block will be
satisfactory and result in a commercially-productive well or that any further wells drilled on the
KG Block will have commercially-successful results. Our inability to meet our goals and objectives
or the consequences to us from adverse developments in general economic or capital market
conditions, events having international consequences, or military activities could have a material
adverse effect on us. We caution you that various risk factors accompany those forward-looking
statements and are described, among other places, under the caption Risk Factors herein. They
are also described in our Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB, and
our Current Reports on
Form 8-K. These risk factors could cause our operating results, financial
condition and ability to fulfill our plans to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report and could adversely affect our financial
condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy and plans.
Page 26
An investment in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider
the following factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report, in
evaluating our business and current and proposed activities before you purchase any shares of our
common stock. You should also see the Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the Safe Harbor
Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding risks and
uncertainties relating to us and to forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report.
There can be no assurance that the exploratory drilling to be conducted on the exploration blocks
in which we hold an interest will result in any discovery of hydrocarbons or that any hydrocarbons
that are discovered will be in commercially recoverable quantities. In addition, the realization
of any revenues from commercially recoverable hydrocarbons is dependent upon the ability to
deliver, store and market any hydrocarbons that are discovered. The presence of hydrocarbon
reserves on contiguous properties is no assurance or necessary indication that hydrocarbons will be
found in commercially marketable quantities on the exploration blocks in which we hold an interest.
Risks Relating to Our Oil and Gas Activities
Because We Are In the Early Stage Of Developing Our Activities, There Are Considerable Risks
That We Will Be Unsuccessful
We are in the early stage of developing our operations. Our only activities in the oil and natural
gas exploration and production industry have primarily involved entering into five Production
Sharing Contracts with the Government of India. In addition, we have entered into an agreement to
acquire a participating interest in a sixth Production Sharing Contract, subject to Government of
India consent. We have realized no revenues from our oil and natural gas exploration and
development activities and claim no reserves of oil or natural gas. As of September 30, 2005 a
venture in which we have a net 5% interest, has drilled and abandoned two wells, has tested and is
evaluating a third well and is engaged in drilling a fourth well. As of September 30, 2005, we
claim no reserves of hydrocarbons as a result of those drilling, testing and evaluation activities.
Our current plans are to conduct the exploration and development activities on the areas offshore
and onshore India in accordance with the terms of the Production Sharing Contracts we are parties
to. There can be no assurance that the exploratory drilling to be conducted on the exploration
blocks in which we hold or have agreed to acquire an interest will result in any discovery of
hydrocarbons or that any hydrocarbons that are discovered will be in commercially recoverable
quantities. In addition, the realization of any revenues from commercially recoverable
hydrocarbons is dependent upon the ability to deliver, store and market any hydrocarbons that are
discovered. The presence of hydrocarbon reserves on contiguous properties is no assurance or
necessary indication that hydrocarbons will be found in commercially marketable quantities on the
exploration blocks in which we hold an interest. Our exploration opportunities are highly
speculative and should any of these opportunities not result in the discovery of commercial
quantities of oil and gas reserves, our investment in the venture could be lost.
Our business plans also include seeking to enter into additional joint ventures or other
arrangements to acquire interests in additional government created and granted hydrocarbon
exploration opportunities, primarily located onshore or in the offshore waters of India.
Opportunities to acquire interests in exploration opportunities will be dependent upon our ability
to identify, negotiate and enter into joint venture or other similar arrangements with respect to
specific exploration opportunities and upon our ability to raise sufficient capital to fund our
participation in those joint ventures or other exploration activities. Our success will be
dependent upon the success of the exploration activities of the ventures in which we acquire an
interest.
Page 27
Our Interests In The Production Sharing Contracts Involve Highly Speculative Exploration
Opportunities That Involve Material Risks That We Will Be Unsuccessful
Our interests in the exploration blocks should be considered to be highly speculative exploration
opportunities that will involve material risks. None of the exploration blocks in which we have an
interest have any proven reserves and are not producing any quantities of oil or natural gas.
Exploratory drilling activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially
productive reservoirs will be encountered. There can be no assurance that wells drilled on any of
the exploration blocks in which we have an interest or by any venture in which we may acquire an
interest in the future will be productive or that we will receive any return or recover all or any
portion of our investment. Drilling for oil and gas may involve unprofitable efforts, not only
from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to
return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. The cost of drilling, completing and
operating wells is often uncertain. Drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a
result of numerous factors, many of which are beyond the operators control, including economic
conditions, mechanical problems, title problems, weather conditions, compliance with governmental
requirements and shortages or delays of equipment and services. Drilling activities on the
exploration blocks in which we hold an interest may not be successful and, if unsuccessful, such
failure may have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial
condition.
Possible Inability of Contracting Parties to Fulfill Phase One of the Minimum Work Program for
the KG Block
Under the terms of our Production Sharing Contract relating to the KG Block, the first phase of the
exploration period expired on September 11, 2005. The Production Sharing Contract provides that by
the end of the first phase, the contracting parties, in addition to other parts of the work program
which have been completed, shall have drilled at least fourteen wells. Through September 11, 2005,
three wells had been drilled on the exploration block, leaving eleven wells to be drilled. The
Production Sharing Contract provides that, if at the end of an exploration phase a work program for
that phase is not completed, the time for completion of the exploration program for that phase is
to be extended for a period necessary to enable completion but not exceeding six months provided
the parties (i) submit a request by written notice to the Government of India at least thirty days
prior to the expiration of the relevant phase, (ii) can show technical or other good reasons for
the non-completion of the work program, and (iii) the management committee gives its consent to the
extension. Any such extension that is granted is to be deducted from the next succeeding
exploration phase. On August 5, 2005, a written notice requesting the six month extension was
submitted and on August 29, 2005, the management committee consented to the extension of six months
to March 11, 2006 and deducted the six month extension from the Phase II exploration period.
In the event the eleven additional wells are not drilled by March 11, 2006, the Government of India
would have the right to assert that the contracting parties have failed to comply with or have
contravened a material provision of the Production Sharing Contract. Under such circumstances, the
Production Sharing Contract will be subject to termination by the Government of India on ninety
days written notice, unless such failure of compliance or contravention is remedied within the
ninety-day period or such extended period as may be granted by the Government of India. In the
event the Production Sharing Contract is terminated by the Government of India, or in the event the
work program is not fulfilled by the end of the relevant exploration phase, each party to the
Production Sharing Contract is to pay to the Government of India its participating interest share
of an amount which is equal to the amount that would be required to complete the minimum work
program for that phase. We are of the view that GSPC, under the terms of our Carried Interest
Agreement, would be liable for our participating interest share of the amount required to complete
the minimum work program for the phase. However, termination of the Production Sharing Contract by
the Government of India would result in the loss of our interest in the KG Block other than areas
determined to encompass commercial discoveries.
Page 28
Because Our Activities Have Only Recently Commenced And We Have No Operating History Or
Reserves Of Oil And Gas, We Anticipate Future Losses; There Is No Assurance Of Our
Profitability
Our oil and natural gas operations have been only recently established and we have no operating
history, oil and gas reserves or assets upon which an evaluation of our business, our current
business plans and our prospects can be based. Our prospects must be considered in light of the
risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in their early stages of
development and, in particular, those engaged in exploratory oil and gas activities. Such risks
include, without limitation:
|
§ |
|
We will experience failures to discover oil and gas in commercial quantities; |
|
|
§ |
|
There are uncertainties as to the costs to be incurred in our exploratory drilling
activities and cost overruns are possible; |
|
|
§ |
|
There are uncertain costs inherent in drilling into unknown formations, such as
over-pressured zones and tools lost in the hole; and |
|
|
§ |
|
We may make changes in our drilling plans and locations as a result of prior exploratory
drilling. |
During the exploration phase prior to the start date of initial commercial production, we have a
carried interest in the exploration activities on KG Block. Our interests in our other five
exploration blocks are participating interests which require us to pay our proportionate share of
exploration, drilling and development expenses on these blocks substantially as those expenses are
incurred. Unexpected or additional costs can affect the commercial viability of producing oil and
gas from a well and will affect the time when and amounts that we can expect to receive from any
production from a well. Because our carried costs of exploration and drilling on KG Block are to
be repaid in full to GSPC, the operator of our ventures activities on the block, before we are
entitled to any share of production, additional exploration and development expenses will reduce
and delay any share of production and revenues we will receive.
There can be no assurance that the ventures in which we are a participant will be successful in
addressing these risks, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our
prospects for the future. Our operations were recently established, and as such, we have no
substantial operating history to serve as the basis to predict our ability to further the
development of our business plan. Likewise, the outcome of our exploratory drilling activities, as
well as our quarterly and annual operating results cannot be predicted. Consequently, we believe
that period to period comparisons of our exploration, development, drilling and operating results
will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our stage of
development or future prospects. Through September 30, 2005, we have had to abandon two wells
drilled on the KG Block and it is likely that in some future quarters our stage of development or
operating or drilling results may fall below our expectations or the expectations of securities
analysts and investors and that some of our drilling results will be unsuccessful and the wells
plugged. In such event, the trading price of our common stock may be materially and adversely
affected.
We Expect to Have Substantial Requirements For Additional Capital That May Be Unavailable To Us
Which Could Limit Our Ability To Participate In Our Existing and Additional Ventures Or Pursue
Other Opportunities. Our Available Capital is Limited
In order to participate under the terms of our Production Sharing Contracts as well as in further
joint venture arrangements leading to the possible grant of exploratory drilling opportunities, we
will be required to contribute or have available to us material amounts of capital. Under the
terms of our carried interest agreement relating to the KG Block, after the start date of initial
commercial production on the KG Block, and under the terms of the five additional Production
Sharing Contracts we are parties to, as well as the agreement relating to the acquisition of the
20% participating interest in the Tarapur Block, we are required to bear our proportionate share of
costs during the exploration phases of those agreements. There can be no assurance that this
capital will be available to us in the amounts and at the times required. Such capital also may be
required to secure bonds in connection with the grant of exploration rights, to conduct or
participate in exploration activities or be engaged in drilling and completion activities. We
intend to seek the additional capital to meet our requirements from equity and debt offerings of
our securities. Our ability to access additional capital will depend in part on the success of the
ventures in which we are a participant in locating reserves of oil and gas and developing producing
wells on the
Page 29
exploration blocks, the results of our management in locating, negotiating and entering into joint
venture or other arrangements on terms considered acceptable, as well as the status of the capital
markets at the time such capital is sought. There can be no assurance that capital will be
available to us from any source or that, if available, it will be at prices or on terms acceptable
to us. Should we be unable to access the capital markets or should sufficient capital not be
available, our activities could be delayed or reduced and, accordingly, any future exploration
opportunities, revenues and operating activities may be adversely affected and could also result in
our breach of the terms of a Production Sharing Contracts which could result in the loss of our
rights under the contract.
As of September 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $36.0 million. We
currently expect that our available cash will be sufficient to fund through December 2006 at the
present level of operations our required capital expenditures on the five exploration blocks in
which we are currently a participant and our participation in the Tarapur Block in which we agreed
to acquire a 20% participating interest. Our present estimate of our commitments pursuant to the
terms of our PSCs relating to these exploration blocks including the agreements signed on
September 23, 2005, totals approximately $4.43 million during the period October 1, 2005 through
March 31, 2006, and $6.0 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2007. Any further
Production Sharing Contacts we may seek to enter into or any expanded scope of our operations or
other transactions that we may enter into may require us to fund our participation or capital
expenditures with amounts of capital not currently available to us. We may be unsuccessful in
raising the capital necessary to meet these capital requirements. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to raise the capital.
Pursuant to our agreement executed on April 7, 2005 to acquire a 20% participating interest from
GSPC in the Tarapur Block (Tarapur), we paid to GSPC the sum of approximately Rs. 2.53 Crore
(approximately $580,000). In addition, it is expected that under the terms of our agreement with
GSPC the total capital we will be required to contribute to exploration activities on Tarapur
during the fourth quarter of 2005 based on our 20% participating interest will be approximately
$300,000. Further, we have committed to expend an aggregate of approximately $1.2 million for
exploration activities under the terms of the agreement over the period ending November 22, 2007.
Our agreement with GSPC is subject to obtaining the Government of India consent. In the event such
consent is not obtained, the assignment would be terminated. Under such circumstances, we intend
to seek to negotiate an alternative acceptable arrangement with GSPC. In the event the Government
of India does not reject in writing the application for consent to the assignment within 180 days,
it is deemed approved. We intend that such an alternative acceptable arrangement would include
provisions that would place us in an economic position substantially equivalent to the position we
would have held if the consent of the Government of India had been obtained and the assignment of
the interest effected. We do not have an alternative agreement or understanding with GSPC in
effect, and we cannot make any assurance that such an alternative arrangement can be entered into
with GSPC. In the event such an arrangement is not entered into we would seek to have the moneys
advanced by us to GSPC returned to us. There can be no assurance that the Government of India
consent will be obtained or that we will be successful in having the moneys advanced to GSPC
returned to us if an acceptable alternative arrangement is not available to us.
Indias Regulatory Regime May Increase Our Risks And Expenses Of Doing Business
All phases of the oil and gas exploration, development and production activities in which we are
participating are regulated in varying degrees by the Indian government, either directly or through
one or more governmental entities. The areas of government regulation include matters relating to
restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of
property, environmental protection and rig safety. In addition, the award of a Production Sharing
Contract is subject to Government of India consent and matters relating to the implementation and
conduct of operations under the Production Sharing Contract is subject, under certain
circumstances, to Government of India consent. As a consequence, all future drilling and
production programs and operations we undertake or are undertaken by the ventures in which we
participate must be approved by the Indian government. Shifts in political conditions in India
could adversely affect our business in India and the ability to obtain requisite government
approvals in a timely fashion or at all. We, and our joint venture participants, must maintain
Page 30
satisfactory working relationships with the Indian government. This regulatory environment may
increase the risks associated with our intended exploration and productivity activities and
increase our costs of doing business.
Our Control By Directors And Executive Officers May Result In Those Persons Having Interests
Divergent From Our Other Stockholders
As of September 30, 2005, our Directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates, in
the aggregate, beneficially hold 34,061,667 shares or approximately 54.5% of our outstanding Common
Stock. As a result, these stockholders possess significant influence over us, giving them the
ability, among other things, to elect a majority of our Board of Directors and approve significant
corporate transactions. These persons will retain significant control over our present and future
activities and our other stockholders and investors may be unable to meaningfully influence the
course of our actions. These persons may have interests regarding the future activities and
transactions in which we engage which may diverge from the interests of our other stockholders.
Such share ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of us, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving
us, or discourage a potential acquiror from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of us which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
Although management has no intention of engaging in such activities, there is also a risk that the
existing management will be viewed as pursuing an agenda which is beneficial to themselves at the
expense of other stockholders.
Our Reliance On A Limited Number Of Key Management Personnel Imposes Risks On Us That We Will
Have Insufficient Management Personnel Available If The Services Of Any Of Them Are Unavailable
We are dependent upon the services of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Jean Paul Roy, and
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allan J. Kent. The loss of either of their
services could have a material adverse effect upon us. We currently do not have employment
agreements with either of such persons or key man life insurance. The services of both Mr. Roy and
Mr. Kent are provided pursuant to the terms of agreements with corporations wholly-owned by each of
them. At present, Mr. Kents services are provided through an oral agreement with the corporation
he owns. Accordingly, these agreements do not contain any provisions whereby Mr. Roy and Mr. Kent
have direct contractual obligations to us to provide services or refrain from other activities.
At present, our future is substantially dependent upon the geological and geophysical capabilities
of Mr. Roy to locate oil and gas exploration opportunities for us and the ventures in which we are
a participant. His inability to do the foregoing could materially adversely affect our future
activities. We have entered into a three-year Technical Services Agreement with Roy Group
(Barbados) Inc. dated August 29, 2003, a company owed 100% by Mr. Roy, to perform such geological
and geophysical duties and exercise such powers related thereto as we may from time to time assign
to it. We have no agreement directly with Mr. Roy regarding his services to us.
Our Success Is Largely Dependent On The Success Of The Operators Of The Ventures In Which We
Participate And Their Failure Or Inability To Properly Or Successfully Operate The Oil And Gas
Exploration, Development And Production Activities On An Exploration Block, Could Materially
Adversely Affect Us
At present, our only oil and gas interests are our rights under the terms of the five Production
Sharing Contracts with the Government of India that we have entered into and the assignment
agreement with GSPC, effective only upon obtaining Government of India consent, relating to an
interest in the Tarapur Block. We are not and will not be the operator of any of the exploration,
drilling and production activities conducted on four of these exploration blocks. Accordingly, the
realization of successes in the exploration of the blocks is substantially dependent upon the
success of the operators in exploring for and developing reserves of oil and gas and their ability
to market those reserves at prices that will yield a return to us.
Page 31
Under the terms of our carried interest agreement for the KG Block, we have a carried interest in
the exploration activities conducted by the parties on the KG Block prior to the start date of
initial commercial production. However, under the terms of that agreement, all of our
proportionate share of capital costs for exploration and development activities must be repaid
without interest over the projected production life or ten years, whichever is less. Our
proportionate share of these costs and expenses expected to be incurred over the 6.5 year term of
the Production Sharing Contract for which our interest is carried is estimated to be approximately
$22.0 million, including the $5.0 million attributable to us as of December 31, 2004 and $9.3
million attributable to us as of September 30, 2005, of which 50% is for the account of Roy Group
(Mauritius) Inc. Additional expenditures may be required for cost overruns and completions of
commercially successful wells. We are unable to estimate the amount of additional expenditures
GSPC will make as operator attributable to us prior to the start date of initial commercial
production under the carried interest agreement or when, if ever, any commercial production will
commence. Of these expenditures, 50% are for the account of Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc. under the
terms of the Participating Interest Agreement between us and Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc. We are not
entitled to any share of production from the KG Block until such time as the expenditures
attributed to us, including those expenditures made for the account of Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc.,
under the carried interest agreement, have been recovered by GSPC from future production revenue.
Therefore, we are unable to estimate when we may commence to receive distributions from any
production of hydrocarbon reserves found on the KG Block. As provided in the carried interest
agreement, in addition to repaying our proportionate share of capital costs incurred for which we
were carried, we will be required to bear our proportionate share of the expenditures attributable
to us after the start date of initial commercial production on the KG Block.
Certain Terms Of The Production Sharing Contracts May Create Additional Expenses And Risks That
Could Adversely Affect Our Revenues And Profitability
The Production Sharing Contracts contain certain terms that may affect the revenues of the joint
venture participants to the agreements and create additional risks for us. These terms include,
possibly among others, the following:
|
§ |
|
The venture participants are required to complete certain minimum work programs during
the three phases of the term of the Production Sharing Contracts. In the event the venture
participants fail to fulfill any of these minimum work programs, the parties to the venture
must pay to the Government of India their proportionate share of the amount that would be
required to complete the minimum work program. Accordingly, we could be called upon to pay
our proportionate share of the estimated costs of any incomplete work programs; |
|
|
§ |
|
Until such time as the Government of India attains self sufficiency in the production of
crude oil and condensate and is able to meet its national demand, the parties to the
venture are required to sell in the Indian domestic market their entitlement under the
Production Sharing Contacts to crude oil and condensate produced from the exploration
blocks. In addition, the Indian domestic market has the first call on natural gas produced
from the exploration blocks and the discovery and production of natural gas must be made in
the context of the governments policy of utilization of natural gas and take into account
the objectives of the government to develop its resources in the most efficient manner and
promote conservation measures. Accordingly, this provision could interfere with our
ability to realize the maximum price for our share of production of hydrocarbons; |
|
|
§ |
|
The parties to each agreement that are not Indian companies, which includes us, are
required to negotiate technical assistance agreements with the Government of India or its
nominee whereby such foreign company can render technical assistance and make available
commercially available technical information of a proprietary nature for use in India by
the government or its nominee, subject, among other things, to confidentiality
restrictions. Although not intended, this could increase each ventures and our cost of
operations; and |
Page 32
|
§ |
|
The parties to each venture are required to give preference, including the use of tender
procedures, to the purchase and use of goods manufactured, produced or supplied in India
provided that such goods are available on equal or better terms than imported goods, and to
employ Indian subcontractors having the required skills insofar as their services are
available on comparable standards and at competitive prices and terms. Although not
intended, this could increase the ventures and our cost of operations. |
These provisions of the Production Sharing Contracts, possibly among others, may increase our costs
of participating in the ventures and thereby affect our profitability.
Oil And Gas Prices Fluctuate Widely And Low Oil And Gas Prices Could Adversely Affect Our
Financial Results
There is no assurance that there will be any market for oil or gas produced from the exploration
blocks in which we hold an interest and our ability to deliver the production from any wells may be
constrained by the absence of or limitations on collector systems and pipelines. Future price
fluctuations could have a major impact on the future revenues from any oil and gas produced on
these exploration blocks and thereby our revenue, and materially affect the return from and the
financial viability of any reserves that are claimed. Historically, oil and gas prices and markets
have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. A significant
decrease in oil and gas prices could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and
profitability and would adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our operations.
In addition, because world oil prices are quoted in and trade on the basis of U.S. dollars,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates that affect world oil prices could also affect our
revenues. Prices for oil and gas fluctuate in response to relatively minor changes in the supply
of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are
beyond our control, including:
|
§ |
|
political conditions in oil producing regions, including the Middle East and elsewhere; |
|
|
§ |
|
the domestic and foreign supply of oil and gas; |
|
|
§ |
|
quotas imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries upon its members; |
|
|
§ |
|
the level of consumer demand; |
|
|
§ |
|
weather conditions; |
|
|
§ |
|
domestic and foreign government regulations; |
|
|
§ |
|
the price and availability of alternative fuels; |
|
|
§ |
|
overall economic conditions; and |
|
|
§ |
|
international political conditions. |
In addition, various factors may adversely affect the ability to market oil and gas production from
the exploration block, including:
|
§ |
|
the capacity and availability of oil and gas gathering systems and pipelines; |
|
|
§ |
|
the ability to produce oil and gas in commercial quantities and to enhance and maintain
production from existing wells and wells proposed to be drilled; |
|
|
§ |
|
the proximity of future hydrocarbon discoveries to oil and gas transmission facilities
and processing equipment (as well as the capacity of such facilities); |
|
|
§ |
|
the effect of governmental regulation of production and transportation (including
regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production,
importing and exporting of oil and condensate and matters associated with the protection of
the environment); |
|
|
§ |
|
the imposition of trade sanctions or embargoes by other countries; |
|
|
§ |
|
the availability and frequency of delivery vessels; |
|
|
§ |
|
changes in supply due to drilling by others; |
|
|
§ |
|
the availability of drilling rigs; and |
|
|
§ |
|
changes in demand. |

Our Ability To Locate And Participate In Additional Exploration Opportunities And To Manage
Growth May Be Limited By Reason Of Our Limited History Of Operations And The Limited Size Of Our
Staff
While our President and Executive Vice President have had extensive experience in the oil and gas
exploration business, we have been engaged in limited activities in the oil and gas business over
approximately the past two years and have a limited history of activities upon which you may base
your evaluation of our performance. As a result of our brief operating history and limited
activities in oil and gas exploration activities, our success to date in entering into ventures to
acquire interests in exploration blocks may not be indicative that we will be successful in
entering into any further ventures. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
growing our oil and gas exploration and development activities.
Any future significant growth in our oil and gas exploration and development activities will place
demands on our executive officers, and any increased scope of our operations will present
challenges to us due to our current limited management resources. Our future performance will
depend upon our management and their ability to locate and negotiate opportunities to participate
in joint venture and other arrangements whereby we can participate in exploration opportunities.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. Our inability to locate
additional opportunities, to hire additional management and other personnel or to enhance our
management systems could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our Future Performance Depends Upon Our Ability And The Ability Of The Ventures In Which We
Participate To Find Or Acquire Oil And Gas Reserves That Are Economically Recoverable
Our success in developing our oil and gas exploration and development activities will be dependent
upon establishing, through our participation with others in joint ventures and other similar
activities, reserves of oil and gas and maintaining and possibly expanding the levels of those
reserves. We and the joint ventures in which we may participate may not be able to locate and
thereafter replace reserves from exploration and development activities at acceptable costs. Lower
prices of oil and gas may further limit the kinds of reserves that can be developed at an
acceptable cost. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital
intensive. We may not be able to make the necessary capital investment to enter into joint ventures
or similar arrangements to maintain or expand our oil and gas reserves if capital is unavailable to
us and the ventures in which we participate. In addition, exploration and development activities
involve numerous risks that may result in dry holes, the failure to produce oil and gas in
commercial quantities, the inability to fully produce discovered reserves and the inability to
enhance production from existing wells.
We expect that we will continually seek to identify and evaluate joint venture and other
exploration opportunities for our participation as a joint venture participant or through some
other arrangement. Our ability to enter into additional exploration activities will be dependent
to a large extent on our ability to negotiate arrangements with others and with various governments
and governmental entities whereby we can be granted a participation in such ventures. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to locate and negotiate such arrangements, have sufficient
capital to meet the costs involved in entering into such arrangements or that, once entered into,
that such exploration activities will be successful. Successful acquisition of exploration
opportunities can be expected to require, among other things, accurate assessments of potential
recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices, projected operating costs, potential environmental
and other liabilities and other factors. Such assessments are necessarily inexact, and as
estimates, their accuracy is inherently uncertain. We cannot assure you that we will successfully
consummate any further exploration opportunities or joint venture or other arrangements leading to
such opportunities.
Page 34
Estimating Reserves And Future Net Revenues Involves Uncertainties And Oil And Gas Price
Declines May Lead To Impairment Of Oil And Gas Assets
Currently, we have no proved reserves of oil or gas. Any reserve information that we may provide
in the future will represent estimates based on reports prepared by independent petroleum
engineers, as well as internally generated reports. Petroleum engineering is not an exact science.
Information relating to proved oil and gas reserves is based upon engineering estimates derived
after analysis of information we furnish or furnished by the operator of the property. Estimates
of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and of future net cash flows necessarily depend
upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area
compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effects of regulations by
governmental agencies and assumptions concerning future oil and gas prices, future operating costs,
severance and excise taxes, capital expenditures and workover and remedial costs, all of which may
in fact vary considerably from actual results. Oil and gas prices, which fluctuate over time, may
also affect proved reserve estimates. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable
quantities of oil and gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of
such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of the future net cash flows expected
therefrom prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers at different times may vary
substantially. Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to reserves we may claim
will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material. Either inaccuracies in
estimates of proved undeveloped reserves or the inability to fund development could result in
substantially reduced reserves. In addition, the timing of receipt of estimated future net
revenues from proved undeveloped reserves will be dependent upon the timing and implementation of
drilling and development activities estimated by us for purposes of the reserve report.
Quantities of proved reserves are estimated based on economic conditions in existence in the period
of assessment. Lower oil and gas prices may have the impact of shortening the economic lives on
certain fields because it becomes uneconomic to produce all recoverable reserves on such fields,
thus reducing proved property reserve estimates. If such revisions in the estimated quantities of
proved reserves occur, it will have the effect of increasing the rates of depreciation, depletion
and amortization on the affected properties, which would decrease earnings or result in losses
through higher depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. The revisions may also be
sufficient to trigger impairment losses on certain properties that would result in a further
non-cash charge to earnings.
Risks Relating To The Market For Our Common Stock
Volatility Of Our Stock Price
The public market for our common stock has been characterized by significant price and volume
fluctuations. There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will not decline
below its current or historic price ranges. The market price may bear no relationship to the
prospects, stage of development, existence of oil and gas reserves, revenues, earnings, assets or
potential of our Company and may not be indicative of our future business performance. The trading
price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations. Fluctuations in the price of oil
and gas and related international political events can be expected to affect the price of our
common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have affected the market price for many companies which fluctuations have been
unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These market fluctuations, as well as
general economic, political and market conditions, may have a material adverse effect on the market
price of our companys common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market
price of a companys securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted
against such companies. Such litigation, if instituted, and irrespective of the outcome of such
litigation, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of managements attention and
resources and have a material adverse effect on our companys business, results of operations and
financial condition.
