CUSIP NUMBER
FORM 10-QSB
For period ended June 30, 1998
Nothing in this form shall be construed to imply that the Commission has
verified any information contained herein.
Part I--Registrant Information
Full name of Registrant: Geo Petroleum, Inc.
501 Deep Valley Drive, Suite 300, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274
-------------------------------------
Address of principal executive office
Part II--Rules 12b-25 (b) and (c)
Not applicable, except that the subject quarterly report on Form 10-QSB
will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the
prescribed due date.
Part III--Narrative
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-QSB could not be filed
within the prescribed period:
The Company's auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, have just completed their
full 1997 audit of the Company's books, and are preparing the required
1997 Adjusting Journal Entries for the Company's books. The main source
of the delay was: the complex calculation of non-cash charges against
earnings related to the Company's proposed 1998 merger with a related
party, Capitan Resources, Inc; and the calculation of non-cash charges
against earnings related to a lawsuit the Company won against a
negligent contractor. Said charges would have a material effect on the
Company's 1997 and 1998 financial statements. The Company could not
complete its 10QSBs without the 1997 Adjusting Journal Entries, balance
sheet, earnings comparisons, and notes to financial statements.
Part IV--Other Information
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.
