Nature of operations
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 (refer to acquisition note 6).
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 complete its obligations in India and upon future profitable operations.
2.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 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 Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GeoGlobal Resources Inc., from the date of acquisition, being August 29, 2003 as well as the accounts of GeoGlobal's direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) GeoGlobal Resources (India) Inc., incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), Canada on August 21, 2002 which was continued under the Companies Act of Barbados, West Indies on June 27, 2003 and (ii) GeoGlobal Resources (Canada) Inc., incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), Canada on September 4, 2003 and (iii) GeoGlobal Resources (Barbados) Inc. incorporated under the Companies Act of Barbados, West Indies on September 24, 2003, which is the wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoGlobal Resources (Canada) Inc.

Capitalized overhead costs
Included in the US$337,959 of exploration cost additions during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (year ended December 31, 2003 US$156,598) are certain overhead costs capitalized by the Company in the amount of US$252,299 (year ended December 31, 2003 US$128,078) directly related to the exploration activities in India. Of the capitalized overhead amount, US$55,974 (year ended December 31, 2003 US$ nil) was paid to third parties, and US$208,716 was paid to and on behalf of a related party (three months ended September 30, 2004 US$66,986) (see note 7(b)). These costs are not reimbursable under the Carried Interest Agreement.
b)
Carried Interest Agreement
On August 27, 2002, GeoGlobal entered into a Carried Interest Agreement ("CIA") with GSPC, which grants the Company a 10% carried interest (net 5%) in the Exploration Block KG-OSN-2001/3. The CIA provides that GSPC is responsible for GeoGlobal's entire share of any and all costs incurred during the Exploration Phase prior to the date of initial commercial production.
As at September 30, 2004, GSPC has incurred costs of approximately Rs 16.65 Crore (approximately US$3.63 million) (December 31, 2003 Rs 4.56 Crore (approximately US$1.00 million)) attributable to GeoGlobal under the CIA of which 50% is for the account of Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc. ("RGM"), a related party (note 7(a)) under the terms of the Participating Interest Agreement.

Warrants
i)
Private Placement Financing
On December 23, 2003, GeoGlobal completed a brokered private placement of 5,800,000 units at US$1.00 each, together with a concurrent private placement of an additional 200,000 units on the same terms, for aggregate gross cash total proceeds of $6,000,000. Each unit was comprised of one common share and one half of one warrant ("Private Placement Warrant"), where one full Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share for US$2.50, for a term of two years from date of closing. The Private Placement Warrants are subject to accelerated expiration 30 days after issuance of a news release to that effect in the event that the common shares trade at US$4.00 or more for 20 consecutive trading days and if the resale of the shares has been registered under the 1933 Act and the hold period for Canadian subscribers has expired.
Costs of US$483,325 were incurred in issuing shares under this Private Placement Financing which included a fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised in the brokered offering. Also issued as additional consideration for this transaction were 580,000 Broker Warrants.
None of the Private Placement Warrants were exercised as at September 30, 2004.
ii)
Broker Warrants
The 580,000 Broker Warrants described above entitle the holder to purchase 580,000 common shares at an exercise price of US$1.50 per share, expiring on December 23, 2005. The Broker Warrants are also subject to accelerated expiration 30 days after issuance of a news release to that effect in the event that the common shares trade at US$3.00 or more for 20 consecutive trading days and if the resale of the shares has been registered under the 1933 Act and the hold period for Canadian subscribers has expired.
During the three months ended September 30, 2004, 5,000 Broker Warrants were exercised at US$1.50 for gross proceeds of US$7,500.

Options
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004, nil and 60,000 options respectively were exercised at US$1.50 for gross proceeds of US$nil and US$90,000, respectively.
d)
Weighted average number of shares
The basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 was 45,287,290 and 38,815,763 respectively (three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003 was 14,500,000). The amount for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003 is deemed to be the number of shares issued to the legal subsidiary pursuant to the reverse takeover transaction described in note 6 reduced by the 19,500,000 shares that were held in escrow. As 14,500,000 shares were released from escrow on July 31, 2004, the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 excludes only the remaining 5,000,000 shares currently held in escrow.

Stock Options
a)
The Companys 1998 Stock Incentive Plan
Under the terms of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), 3,900,000 common shares have been reserved for issuance on exercise of options granted under the Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company may amend or modify the Plan at any time, subject to any required stockholder approval. The Plan will terminate on the earliest of: (i) 10 years after the Plan Effective Date, being December 2008; (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan have been issued as fully-vested shares; or, (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with certain changes in control of the Company.
b)
Stock-based compensation
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 to 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:
Three months ended Sept 30-2004 US$ | Three months ended Sept 30-2003 US$ | Nine months ended Sept 30-2004 US$ | Nine months ended Sept 30-2003 US$ | |

ITEM 2 | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS |
GENERAL
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition or plan of operation should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information including our 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.
Acquisition of GeoGlobal India
On August 29, 2003, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding stock of GeoGlobal Resources (India) Inc. ("GeoGlobal India"), which thereby became our wholly-owned subsidiary. The completion of the transaction resulted in the issuance by us of 34,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, among other things. Under generally accepted accounting principles, this transaction is accounted for as a reverse takeover transaction and for accounting purposes, this transaction is considered an acquisition of GeoGlobal Resources Inc. (the legal parent treated as the accounting subsidiary) by GeoGlobal India (the legal subsidiary treated as the accounting parent) 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 our parent, GeoGlobal Resources Inc. but are a continuation of the financial statements of the accounting acquirer. GeoGlobal Indias assets and liabilities 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.
Operations Update
KG Block
Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC), as operator has completed the acquisition, processing and interpretation of a 1,298 square kilometre marine 3D seismic program on the KG Block. Geological mapping has been completed and a number of drillable prospects have been identified.
On April 15, 2004, GSPC contracted Saipem SPA, part of ENI, Italy, for the Saipem Perro Negro 3 jack-up drilling rig to commence a 4 well exploratory drilling program on the KG Block for a period of 200 days. Under the terms of the contract, GSPC has the option of extending the contract for 6 additional exploratory wells.
On July 31, 2004, drilling operations commenced on the KG#1 well location which is situated in shallow waters of approximately 70 meters deep. On November 4, 2004, we announced that the KG#1 well had been drilled to a depth of 2,620 meters and that a logging program had been completed. We further announced that based upon log analyses, GSPC is currently testing and evaluating this well for hydrocarbons. These log analyses are preliminary and exploratory and there can be no assurance that the outcome of these tests and evaluations will demonstrate the presence of hydrocarbons in commercially recoverable quantities or that any hydrocarbons that are present are capable of being recovered.
Upon completion of the testing and evaluating, the Saipem Perro Negro 3 drilling rig will move to the KG#2 well location which is approximately 2.5 kilometers due north of the KG#1 well and is situated in shallow waters of approximately 70 meters deep.

Page 16
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 $11 million over the 6.5 year term of the PSC, including the $3.63 million attributable to us through September 30, 2004. 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 Carried Interest Agreement or when, if ever, any commercial production will commence. As provided in the Carried Interest Agreement, we will be required to bear the expenditures attributable to us after the start date of initial commercial production on the KG Block. Of these expenditures attributable to us, 50% are for the account of Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc. under the terms of the Participating Interest Agreement.
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 Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc. under the Carried Interest Agreement have been recovered by GSPC from future production revenue. Under the terms of that agreement, 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.
We have committed to expend an aggregate of approximately $2.5 million for exploration activities under the terms of the PSCs on both of the Cambay Blocks, Mehsana and Sanand, over a period of 6 years. As at September 30, 2004, we have incurred costs of approximately $125,000 with respect to these contracts. We estimate that our expenditures for these purposes during the balance of the 2004 fiscal year will be approximately $175,000, based upon our 10% participating interest in these PSCs.
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.
We believe that our available cash resources will be sufficient to meet all our expenses, cash requirements and commitments during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005.

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 which are the subject of the three Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) we have entered into, the timing of those anticipated activities, 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. These forward looking statements also include our plans and expectations regarding our testing and evaluation activities on our KG#1 well on the KG Block and the likelihood of discovering commercially marketable reserves as a consequence of drilling that well. Our forward looking statements also include our expectations as to the amounts of capital and timing when capital is required to be contributed under our three PSCs. Forward-looking statements also include our plans and objectives to join with others or to directly seek to enter into additional production sharing contracts with the Government of India. Our assumptions, plans and expectations regarding our future capital requirements, the costs and expenses to be incurred in conducting any exploration, well drilling, development, and production activities and the timing of those activities are all forward-looking statements. These statements appear, among other places, under the following captions: Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis or 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 or be successful. 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. There can be no assurance that the discovery of hydrocarbons on exploration blocks adjacent to or in the proximity of exploration blocks in which we have an interest will result in the discovery of hydrocarbons on the blocks in which we have an interest. Our ability to realize revenues 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. If our plans fail to materialize, your investment will be in jeopardy. 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.
RISK FACTORS
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.
Page 18
Risks Relating to Our Oil and Gas Activities
Because We Are In the Early Stage of Developing Our Activities, There Are Considerable Risks 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 involved entering into three PSCs involving 3D seismic acquisition and exploratory drilling in India. 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 November 4, 2004 a venture in which we have a 10% interest has drilled and completed only one well which is being tested and evaluated. We claim no reserves of hydrocarbons as a result of those drilling activities through that date. 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 three PSCs we have entered into. 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. 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 Interest 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.
Because Our Activities Have Only Recently Commenced and We Have No Operating History and 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 or prior exploratory drilling.
Page 19
We have a carried interest in the exploration activities on KG Block. Our interests in both Cambay Blocks, Mehsana and Sanand (also known as CB-9 and CB-10 Blocks) are participating interests. 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 Bock are to be repaid in full 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. Due to the foregoing factors, the development of our business plan, prospects and exploratory drilling activities, as well as our quarterly and annual operating results, are difficult to forecast. 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. 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.
Indias Regulatory Regime May Increase Our Risks and Expenses In 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. 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 the 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 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 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 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 Technical Services Agreement with Roy Group (Barbados) Inc. ("RGB") 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 Operate The Oil And Gas Exploration, Development And Production Activities On An Exploration Block Properly Or Successfully Could Materially Adversely Affect Us
At present, our only oil and gas interests are our rights under the terms of the three PSCs. We are not the operator of any of the exploration, drilling and production activities conducted on any of the three 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 20
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 will be repaid without interest over the projected production life or ten years, whichever is less. Our proportionate share of these costs and expenses for which our interest is carried is estimated to be approximately $11 million, including the $3.63 million attributable to us as of September 30, 2004 over the 6.5 year term of the PSC. Additional expenditures may be required for 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 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. 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, we will be required to bear 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 PSCs 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 PSCs. 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 PSCs 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 the 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 the ventures and our cost of operations; and
·
The parties to the 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 PSCs, possibly among others, may increase our costs of participating in the ventures and thereby affect our profitability.
Page 21
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.
Page 22
We May Have Substantial Requirements For Capital In The Future That May Be Unavailable To Us Which Could Limit Our Ability To Participate In Additional Ventures Or Pursue Other Opportunities
In order to participate under the terms of our three existing PSCs 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, after the start date of initial commercial production on the KG Block, and under the terms of the two PSCs relating to the Cambay Basin, 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 expect 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 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 PSC which could result in the loss of our rights under the contract.
We currently expect that our available cash will be sufficient to fund required capital expenditures on the three exploration blocks in which we are a participant through 2004 and 2005. However, any further production sharing contracts we enter into may require us to fund our participation 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.
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 the past approximately eighteen months 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.
Page 23
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.
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 company's common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's 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 management's attention and resources and have a material adverse effect on our company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
ITEM 3.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Jean Paul Roy, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Allan J. Kent, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on their evaluation, Mr. Roy and Mr. Kent have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including Mr. Roy and Mr. Kent, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
