1. | Basis of Presentation | |
The interim consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto of CanArgo Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, we, our, CanArgo or the Company) have been prepared by management without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CanArgos Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All amounts are in U.S. dollars. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. | ||
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | ||
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. |
2. | Business Combination | |
On June 7, 2005, CanArgo made an offer to acquire 55% of the ordinary share capital of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited (Tethys) which was held by Provincial Securities Limited (Provincial) and Vando International Finance Limited (Vando) for consideration of 11,000,000 CanArgo common shares. On June 9, 2005 CanArgo issued 5,500,000 shares to Provincial, of which Russ Hammond (one of our non-executive directors) is Investment Advisor and 5,500,000 shares to Vando in connection with this transaction. At June 7, 2005, the closing price of CanArgo total common stock was $0.76 giving the common stock consideration a market value of $8,360,000 for the 11 million shares. On completion of the acquisition, CanArgo held 100% of the ordinary share capital of Tethys through its subsidiary CanArgo Limited and Tethys became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We have recorded our interest as if the acquisition occurred on June 30, 2005. Tethys primary asset was its 70% interest in BN Munai, a Kazakhstan limited partnership. | ||
The purchase price was allocated to the net assets of Tethys as follows: |

3 | Dismantlement, Restoration and Environmental Costs | |
Effective January 1, 2003, we recognize liabilities for asset retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing well sites, with a corresponding increase in the related long-lived asset. The asset retirement cost is depreciated along with the property and equipment in the full cost pool. The asset retirement obligation is recorded at fair value and accretion expense, recognized over the life of the property, increases the liability to its expected settlement value. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded for both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. As at September 30, 2005 the asset retirement obligation, which is included on the consolidated balance sheet in provision for future site restoration, was $699,650 , which includes $246,000 for retirement obligations related to our acquired Tethys operations. | ||
4 | Foreign Operations | |
Our current and future operations and earnings depend upon the results of our operations primarily in the Republic of Georgia (Georgia) and to a lesser degree in the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan). There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully conduct such operations, and a failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the success of our operations generally will be subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management control. These contingencies include general and regional economic conditions, prices for crude oil and natural gas, competition and changes in regulation. Since we are dependent on international operations, we will be subject to various additional political, economic and other uncertainties. Among other risks, our operations may be subject to the risks and restrictions on transfer of funds, import and export duties, quotas and embargoes, domestic and international customs and tariffs, and changing taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions, political conditions and restrictive regulations. | ||
5 | New Accounting Standards | |
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, which clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. The Company is required to adopt Interpretation No. 47 prior to the end of 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact of Interpretation No. 47 on its results of operations and financial condition. | ||
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 Accounting for Inventory Costs that amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal and requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 151 in the beginning of 2006 and its adoption is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition. | ||
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets that amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions and Amends FAS 19 Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, paragraphs 44 and 47(e). ARB No. 29 is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged and SFAS 153 amended ABP 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaced it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 153 for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in the first quarter of 2006 and its adoption is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition. |
9
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections to replace ABP No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3 Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, SFAS 154 requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, SFAS 154 requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The implementation of FAS 154 is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition. |

On April 26, 2005 we signed a promissory note with Cornell Capital whereby Cornell Capital agreed to advance us the sum of $15 million (Promissory Note) under the following terms: | ||
This $15 million and interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum was payable either in cash or using the net proceeds of drawdowns under the SEDA, within 270 calendar days from the date of the Promissory Note. Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, we escrowed 25 requests for advances under the SEDA each in an amount not less than $600,000 and one advance of $289,726.03 (representing estimated interest) together with 16,938,558 shares of CanArgo common stock. The escrow agent released requests every 7 calendar days from May 2, 2005 provided we had not previously made a payment to Cornell Capital in cash. We had the ability at our sole discretion upon 24 hours prior written notice to Cornell Capital to repay all and any amounts due under the Promissory Note in immediately available funds and withdraw any advance notices yet to be effected. | ||
The Promissory Note was repaid in full in cash on August 1, 2005, all escrowed advances cancelled and 7,260,647 shares of CanArgo common stock were returned from escrow and duly cancelled on October 5, 2005. On July 25, 2005 notice was given to Cornell Capital to terminate the SEDA with effect as of August 24, 2005. | ||
In order to ensure timely procurement of long lead items for our drilling program in Georgia and for working capital purposes during 2004, we entered into a number of loan agreements of which those outstanding during the third quarter 2005 are described below. | ||
Long Term Loan with Detachable Warrants: This loan from Salahi Ozturk advanced pursuant to the amended and restated loan and warrant agreement dated August 27, 2004 (Amended Agreement) matures in August 2006 unless it has previously been converted. Corporate finance fees of $50,000 were paid in respect of the loan. Interest is payable quarterly at a rate of 7.5% per annum. The loan is convertible into shares of CanArgo Common Stock at 15% above a market price of $0.60 in effect when the agreement was reached in August 2004, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. We have the option to force conversion of the loan if our share price exceeds 160% of $0.60 (or $0.96 per share) for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. No conversion was possible until August 28, 2005. | ||
The Companys closing stock price on the American Stock Exchange at the time of the agreement was $0.51; consequently, pursuant to EITF 98-5 Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios and EITF 00-27 Application of Issue |
14
No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, the issuance of the loan and detachable warrants resulted in a discount being recorded in the amount of $263,786, which resulted from the relative fair value of the warrants, as determined using the Black-Scholes model. | ||
We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the debt and warrants: |
Additional Loan | ||||
Stock price on date of grant |
$ | 0.51 | ||
Risk free rate of interest |
2.51 | % | ||
Expected life of warrant months |
48 | |||
Dividend rate |
| |||
Historical volatility |
108 | % |
The discounts are being amortized to expense interest over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate was 18.9%. As of September 30, 2005 we had amortized $144,729 of the debt discount as interest expense. | ||
Promissory Note: On May 19, 2004, we signed a promissory note with Cornell Capital whereby Cornell Capital agreed to advance us the sum of $1,500,000. We have repaid the promissory note in full by making a series of takedowns in February and March 2005 under the SEDA. | ||
Senior Secured Convertible Loan Notes: On July 25, 2005, CanArgo completed a private placement of $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Secured Convertible Loan Notes due July 25, 2009 (the Senior Secured Notes) with a group of private investors arranged through Ingalls & Snyder LLC of New York City, as Placement Agent, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement of even date (the Note Purchase Agreement). The Company paid approximately $100,000 of legal fees for the Purchasers and a $250,000 arrangement fee to Orion Securities in connection with the Senior Secured Notes. | ||
The unpaid principal balance under the Senior Secured Note bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) (a) at increasing rates ranging from 3% from the date of issuance to December 31,2005; 10% from January 1, 2006 until December 31, 2006; and 15% from January 1, 2007 until final payment, payable semi-annually, on June 30 & December 30, commencing December 30, 2005, until the principal shall have become due and payable, and (b) at 3% above the applicable rate on any overdue payments of principal and interest, | ||
Pursuant to the provisions of Emerging Issue Task Force 86-15: Increasing-Rate Debt), the Company recognizes interest expense using the effective interest rate method, which results in the use of a constant interest rate for the life of the Senior Secured Notes. The effective interest rate is approximately 12.3% per annum. The difference between the interest computed using the actual interest rate in effect (3% per annum) and the effective interest rate (12.3% per annum) which totalled $439,156 as of September 30, 2005 has been accrued as a non-current liability. | ||
The Company is amortising the professional fees incurred in relation to the Senior Secured Notes over the term of the Senior Secured Notes. | ||
The Senior Secured Notes are convertible any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Note holder, into shares of CanArgo common stock (the Conversion Stock) at a conversion price per share of $0.90 (the Conversion Price), which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. | ||
We may, at our option, upon at least not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior written notice, prepay at any time and from time to time after July 31, 2006, all or any part of the Senior Secured Notes, in a principal amount of not less than $100,000 at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount so prepaid): 105% after July 31, 2006; 104% after January 1, 2007; 103% after July 1, 2007; 102% after January 1, 2008; 101% after July 1, 2008, and 100% after January 1, 2009, together with all accrued and unpaid interest. |
15
The Senior Secured Notes are subject to mandatory prepayment due to a change in control of the Company, as defined by the Note Purchase Agreement. | ||
In connection with the execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement, CanArgo entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which it agreed to register the Conversion Stock for resale under the Securities Act and indemnify the purchasers in connection with the registration. | ||
The Senior Secured Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and contain certain negative and affirmative covenants and also restricts the ability of the Company to pay dividends to its common stockholders until the loan and all accrued interest have been paid or the noteholders elect to convert their loans to common stock. (See page 30 Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 below for a more detailed discussion of covenants). | ||

Included in the amounts due to drilling contractors at September 30, 2005 are amounts invoiced by Weatherford totalling $5,004,846. We have formally notified Weatherford that we dispute the validity of certain billings to the Company for work Weatherford performed in the first and second quarter of 2005. The amount under dispute is approximately $4.9 million. We have recorded all amounts billed by Weatherford as of September 30, 2005 pending the outcome of the dispute resolution which may require referral to the London Court of International Arbitration for resolution in accordance with the provisions of the contract. | ||
15 | Minority Interest | |
Through our acquisition of 100% of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited on June 9, 2005 we acquired a 70% ownership interest in the Kazakhstan based limited liability partnership, BN Munai LLP (BN Munai). BN Munai has only suffered losses from inception and currently the Company is the only partner funding the current operating losses, therefore, no minority interest is recorded at September 30, 2005 for the 30% ownership not under our control. The Company does not expect the minority partners in BN Munai to contribute funds to the partnership. |

On February 11, 2004, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA) that allowed us, at our option, periodically to issue shares of our common stock to US-based investment fund Cornell Capital. On February 03, 2005, the SEC declared effective the registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-115261) originally filed by us on May 6, 2004 in respect of the shares issuable under the SEDA. Under the terms of the SEDA, Cornell Capital provided us with an equity line of credit for 24 months from the date the registration statement became effective. The maximum aggregate amount of the equity placements pursuant to the SEDA was $20,000,000. Subject to this limitation, we could draw down up to $600,000 in any seven trading-day period (a Put). The SEDA could be used in whole or in part entirely at our discretion. Shares issued to Cornell Capital would be priced at a 3% discount to the lowest daily Volume Weighted Closing Bid Price (VWAP) of CanArgo common shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE) for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately following a draw down notice by CanArgo. For each share of common stock purchased under the SEDA, Cornell Capital received a substantial discount to the current market price of CanArgo common stock. The level of the total discount varied depending on the market price of our stock and the amount drawn down under the SEDA. Such discount comprised (1) 3% discount to, the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock; (2) 5% of the proceeds that we receive for each advance under the SEDA; and (3) a commitment fee. The commitment fee, which has been paid, consisted of $10,000 in cash and 850,000 shares of our common stock. On July 25, 2005, we issued to Cornell Capital a notice to terminate the SEDA with effect as of August 24, 2005. | ||
We received $12,332,548 proceeds net of $285,749 of discounts (excluding the commitment fee of $10,000 and 850,000 shares of common stock previously paid to Cornell Capital) pursuant to twenty one takedowns under the SEDA in which we issued a total of 13,012,945 shares of our common stock to Cornell Capital at an average price of $0.9477 per share. From these proceeds, $1,532,548 was used to repay the promissory note of $1,500,000 plus accrued interest on the note of $32,548 to Cornell Capital and partially repay the promissory note of $15,000,000, referred to below. | ||
On April 26, 2005 we signed a promissory note with Cornell Capital whereby Cornell Capital agreed to advance us the sum of $15,000,000. This amount and interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum was payable either in cash or using the net proceeds of drawdowns under the SEDA, within 270 days from the date of the Promissory Note. The Promissory Note was repaid in full in cash on August 1, 2005. | ||
On June 9, 2005 we issued 11,000,000 shares of CanArgo Common Stock by way of exchange for 55% of the share capital of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited, (Tethys), thereby making Tethys a wholly owned subsidiary of CanArgo. (See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Item 2 Business Combination above for a more detailed discussion). | ||
On October 5, 2005, we passed a resolution to cancel the 7,260,647 shares of CanArgo common stock returned from escrow following the termination of the SEDA on August 24, 2005. |

17 | Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share | |
Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic and diluted earnings per share are provided for continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income (loss). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted earnings per share reflects potential dilution from the exercise of securities (warrants, options and convertible debt) into common stock. | ||
Basic and diluted net loss per common share for the nine month and three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during those periods. Options and warrants to purchase CanArgos Common Stock were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share because the effect of such inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The total number of such shares excluded from diluted net loss per common share were 41,255,621 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. | ||
18 | Commitments and Contingencies | |
We have contingent obligations and may incur additional obligations, absolute and contingent, with respect to the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties and ventures in which we have interests that require or may require us to expend funds and to issue shares of our Common Stock. | ||
At September 30, 2005, we had the contingent obligation to issue an aggregate of 187,500 shares of our Common Stock to Fielden Management Services PTY, Ltd (a third party management services company), subject to the satisfaction of conditions related to the achievement of specified performance standards by the Stynawske Field project, an oil field in Ukraine in which we had a previous interest. | ||
Under the Production Sharing Contract for Blocks XIG and XIH (the Tbilisi PSC) in the Republic of Georgia our subsidiary CanArgo Norio Limited will acquire additional seismic data within three years of the effective date of the contract which is September 29, 2003. The total commitment over the next ten months is $350,000. | ||
In 2002, the Participation Agreement for the three well exploration program on the Ninotsminda /Manavi area with AES Gardabani (a subsidiary of AES Corporation) (AES) was terminated without AES earning any rights to any of the Ninotsminda / Manavi area reservoirs. We therefore have no present obligations in respect of AES. However, under a separate Letter of Agreement, if gas from the Sub Middle Eocene is discovered and produced from the exploration area covered by the Participation Agreement, AES will be entitled to recover at the rate of 15% of future gas sales from the Sub Middle Eocene, net of operating costs, approximately $7,500,000, representing their prior funding under the Participation Agreement. | ||
In April 2004, we acquired a 50% interest in the Samgori (Block XIB) Production Sharing Contract (Samgori PSC) in Georgia. This interest was acquired from Georgian Oil Samgori Limited (GOSL), a company wholly owned by Georgian Oil, by one of our subsidiaries, CanArgo Samgori Limited (CSL). Under the terms of the agreement dated January 8, 2004, up to 10 horizontal wells will be drilled on the Samgori Field. Completion of well S302, which was funded 100% by us, satisfied our commitment to GOSL under the acquisition agreement. It is planned that the remainder of the drilling program will be funded jointly by CSL and GOSL, the Contractor parties, pro rata to their interest in the Samgori PSC. The total cost to us of participating in the whole program, which is due to be completed by June 2008, is anticipated to be up to $13,500,000. | ||
The original Contractor party to the Samgori PSC, National Petroleum Limited (NPL), has an option to reacquire its Contractors interest in the Samgori PSC and its 50% interest in the operating company in the event that the agreed work program is not completed in part by December 2006 and in full by December 2008. Furthermore, NPL has outstanding costs and expenses of $37,528,964 in relation to the |
20
Samgori PSC which are recoverable by NPL receiving 30% of annual net profit from the Field until such costs have been fully repaid. Under the Samgori PSC, up to 50% of petroleum produced under the contract is allocated to the Contractor parties for the recovery of the cumulative allowable capital, operating and other project costs associated with the Samgori Field and exploration in Block XIB (Cost Recovery Oil). The cost recovery pool includes the $37,528,964 costs previously incurred by NPL. The balance of production (Profit Oil) is allocated on a 50/50 basis between the State and the Contractor parties respectively. While GOSL and CSL continue to have unrecovered costs, they will receive 75% of total production (net 37.5% to us). After recovery of their cumulative capital, operating and other allowable project costs including the NPL costs, the Contractor parties will receive 30% of Profit Oil (net 15% to us). The allocation of a share of production to the State, however, relieves the Contractor parties of all obligations they would otherwise have to pay the Republic of Georgia for taxes, duties and levies related to activities covered by the Samgori PSC. After NPLs costs are repaid from either Field production or other production in the PSC (in the event that new fields are developed in areas identified using seismic surveys originally performed by NPL), NPL shall continue to receive 5% of annual net profit. | ||
Under the Samgori PSC, Georgian Oil as the State representative in the contract is entitled to receive up to 250,000 tons (approximately 1.6 million barrels) of oil (Base Level Oil) from a maximum of 50% per calendar quarter of production when the value of the cumulative Cost Recovery Oil, cumulative Cost Recovery Natural Gas, cumulative Profit Oil and cumulative Profit Natural Gas delivered to the Contractor parties exceeds the cumulative allowable capital, operating and other project costs including finance costs associated with the Samgori Field and exploration in Block XIB and the NPL costs. While Base Level Oil is being delivered to Georgian Oil, the Contractor parties will continue to be entitled to a maximum of 50% of the remaining Profit Oil. The Base Level Oil is an estimate of the amount of oil that Georgian Oil would have expected to produce from the contract area had the State not come to a contractual arrangement with the previous Contractor party in 1996. | ||
Upon completion of the acquisition of an interest in the Samgori PSC we had a contractual obligation to issue 4,000,000 shares of CanArgo Common Stock to Europa Oil Services Limited (Europa), an unaffiliated company in connection with a consultancy agreement with Europa in relation to this acquisition. On April 16, 2004 Europa was issued with 4,000,000 restricted shares of CanArgo Common Stock in an arms length transaction. A further 12,000,000 shares of CanArgo Common Stock are issuable upon certain production targets being met from future developments under the Samgori PSC. | ||
In September 2004, a blow-out occurred at the N100 well on the Ninotsminda Field. The Company currently estimates that the total costs attributable to the blow-out, including compensation and cleaning of the environment will be $2,000,000. The Companys insurance policies cover 80% of these costs up to a maximum of $2,500,000 and the remaining 20% insurance retention being payable by the Company. On June 3, 2005 we received $800,000, as a first instalment, from our insurance company. | ||
19 | Discontinued Operations | |
CanArgo Standard Oil Products Limited | ||
In September 2002, we approved a plan to sell our interest in CanArgo Standard Oil Products Limited (CSOP), a petroleum product retail business in Georgia, to finance our exploration and production activities. In October 2002, we reached agreement with Westrade Alliance LLC, an unaffiliated company, to sell our wholly owned subsidiary, CanArgo Petroleum Products Limited (CPPL), which held our 50% interest in CSOP for $4,000,000 in an arms-length transaction, with legal ownership being transferred upon receipt of final payment due originally in August 2003 and subsequently extended. The total payment received in 2004 was $1,857,000 with the final payment of the consideration received by us in December 2004 at which time we transferred our ownership in CPPL to Westrade Alliance LLC. |

Lateral Vector Resources Inc | ||
Lateral Vector Resources Inc. (LVR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CanArgo, negotiated and concluded with Ukrnafta, the Ukrainian State Oil Company, a Joint Investment Production Activity (JIPA) agreement in 1998 to develop the Bugruvativske Field located in Eastern Ukraine. | ||
In 2003, due to the lack of progress with the implementation of the JIPA, and failure to reach a negotiated agreement with Ukrnafta, management reached the decision to dispose of its interest in the Bugruvativske project and withdraw from Ukraine. Consequently, we recorded in 2003 a write-down in respect to the LVR deal and the acquisition of the Bugruvativske Field of approximately $4,790,727. | ||
On May 28, 2004, we announced that pursuant to a signed agreement between CanArgo Acquisition Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, and Stanhope Solutions Ltd., we had completed a transaction to sell our interest in the Bugruvativske Field through the disposal of LVR for $2,000,000. We received $250,000 as an initial payment and will receive the remaining $1,750,000 if certain production targets are achieved on the project. |

Georgian American Oil Refinery | ||
In 2003, we approved a plan to dispose of our interest in the Georgian American Oil Refinery Limited (GAOR) as the refinery had remained closed since 2001 and neither we nor our partners could find a commercially viable option to putting the refinery back into operation. In February 2004, we reached agreement with a local Georgian company to sell our 51% interest in GAOR for a nominal price of one US dollar and the assumption of all the obligations and debts of GAOR to the State of Georgia including deferred tax liabilities of approximately $380,000. The gain recorded on disposition of GAOR was $330,923. | ||
The results of operations of GAOR have been classified as discontinued for all periods presented. Net income from discontinued operations is disclosed net of taxes and minority interest. The plan to dispose of the asset led to the write-off of an inter-company payable relating to oil sales purchased from Ninotsminda Oil Company Limited. These items have been respectively recorded in impairment of other assets and other income (expense) components of continuing operations. | ||

3-megawatt duel fuel power generator | ||
In 2003, we signed a sales agreement disposing of a 3-megawatt duel fuel power generator for $600,000. Following receipt of a non-refundable deposit of $300,000, the unit was shipped to the US for testing. The test was completed at the beginning of 2005, however, the proposed buyer failed to meet the sale contract terms resulting in the loss of its deposit in the third quarter, 2005. | ||
The generator has been classified as Assets held for sale for all periods presented and we expect to agree a sale with a different buyer in the near future. | ||

| A number of deficiencies that were symptomatic of and contributed to the overall material weakness relating to the financial statement close process were identified by management and the independent registered accountants during the SOX 404 evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. Each deficiency identified fell within one of the following categories: |
43
1. | the lack of adequate review and supervision over the financial statement close process (which is primarily related to the lack of segregation of duties as a result of the Companys limited number of personnel); | ||
2. | the lack of documentation of standard processes and policies to insure a consistent and accurate closing process; | ||
3. | too much dependence on the use of spreadsheets that are not properly protected from unauthorized access and/or errors in formulas used; and | ||
4. | the number of audit adjustments required to be recorded after being identified by the independent registered accountants. |
| A material weakness relating to lack of sufficient controls being in place to ensure adequate review of the application of generally accepted accounting principles relating to non-routine transactions, estimates and financial statement disclosures was identified by management and the independent registered accountants during the SOX 404 evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. |
| Improvement in accounting and reporting processes and related controls. | |
| In order to address the lack of adequate review and supervision over the financial statement close process the Company enhanced its management resources through the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer in May 2005. Furthermore, the number of designated accounting staff employed by the Company was increased in both its head office in Guernsey and in its offices in the Republic of Georgia. | |
| Discussed with the Companys audit committee the assessment and a timetable to address the material weaknesses. Various personnel have been assigned responsibilities in connection with this timetable. | |
| Management has scheduled discussions among management, the Companys SOX 404 consultant and the Companys independent registered accountants to commence prior to the start of the assessment process this year to review open items and to map out the steps necessary to correct outstanding deficiencies in a timely manner. | |
| Management is performing its 2005 ongoing assessment in a more timely fashion. | |
| We are in the process of appointing a firm of accountants to provide us with advice on the application of generally accepted accounting principles relating to non-routine transactions, estimates and financial statement disclosures. |
| We have introduced more comprehensive formal preparation and review checklists and sign-off procedures at both group and subsidiary level on key reconciliations and accounting schedules. |
44
| We have increased the level of review of the preparation of the quarterly financial statements which has significantly reduced the number of adjustments required in the post closing process. | |
| We have improved the documentation of procedures for closing the books and preparing financial statements. | |
| We have improved access controls over key spreadsheets |
