GEO PETROLEUM, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2000 and
For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
(Unaudited)

1.      Description of the Company’s Business

             Geo Petroleum, Inc. (the “Company”) is an oil and gas production company founded in 1986 and incorporated in the state of California. The Company engages in the development, production and management of oil and gas properties located in California. Certain of the wells on one of the Company’s oil properties are used for waste water disposal services. These operations were conducted by a related party, and the Company had a 75% revenue interest in such operations.

             During June 1998, the Company decided to shut-in its oil and gas production at all of its property locations except for the waste water disposal wells, on which the Company curtailed its disposal services. The status remained unchanged through the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

2.   Basis of Presentation

             In the opinion of the management of Geo Petroleum, Inc., the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly its financial position as of March 31, 2000, the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and shareholders’ equity for the three month period ended March 31, 2000. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in the Company’s Form 10K-SB. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.   Deposits

             The Company has deposits with the State of California, the County of Ventura and the City of Los Angeles that are required by these governmental agencies in connection with the Company’s oil and gas operations. These deposits are in certificates of deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions imposed by these agencies. The amounts of these deposits at March 31, 2000 are as follows:

State of California    $ 130,387   
County of Ventura     10,236   
City of Los Angeles     50,000   
  
  
   Total deposits    $ 190,623   
  
  

4.   Commitments and Contingencies

             The Plan provides for payment of $195,000 on a pro rata basis to the unsecured creditors. The payment of this amount is to be made quarterly over approximately 12 quarters commencing 90 days after the effective date of the Plan. The amounts to be paid are essentially the greater of 30% of the Company’s quarterly net income as defined in the Plan or $12,000.

              As a result, the Company’s obligation to make payments in excess of $12,000 per quarter is contingent upon the Company’s quarterly net income exceeding $40,000.

8

             Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Exposure to losses on accounts receivable is principally dependent on the individual customer’s financial condition, as credit sales are not collateralized. The Company monitors its exposure to credit loss and reserves those accounts receivable that it deems to be uncollectible.

             The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. At March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $249,628 in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

             The Company participates in an industry that is characterized by competitive pressure, changes in the prices of oil and gas on a world-wide basis, federal, state, and local regulations governing production and development of its oil and gas reserves and compliance with various environmental laws and regulations. The Company’s results of operations are affected by a wide variety of factors, including general economic conditions, changes in average selling prices over the productive life of oil and gas reserves, the timing of production from new and existing proved developed and undeveloped reserves by the Company, its competitors, and others, the ability to produce sufficient quantities of oil and gas reserves in a timely manner, and the timely implementation of new and alternative reserve recovery process technologies. Based on the factors noted herein, the Company may experience substantial period-t o-period fluctuations in future operating results.

5.   Related Party Transactions

             During January 2000, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease agreement for its corporate headquarters with a Company investor entity, which is a related party. The investor entity is owned by an officer who is also a major shareholder. Under the terms of the lease the Company pays $5,000 per month and is subject to a 30 day cancellation notice. Rental expense recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $15,000 and $1,668, respectively.

             A former officer and major shareholder provided consulting services to the Company as authorized in the Company’s plan of reorganization, confirmed in December 1999. The expense recorded for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 was $23,513.

6.   Loss Per Share

             Basic and diluted loss per common share have been computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares for the period.

             The computations of basic and diluted loss per common share are as follows:

For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31,
2000 1999
Numerator:            
   Net loss available to common shareholders   $ (176,222 ) $ (156,193 )
Denominator:            
   Weighted-average shares basic and diluted    15,483,795    8,815,995  
Loss per common share, basic and diluted   $ (0.01 ) $ (0.02 )
 


9

             The following additional potential common shares were outstanding during 2000 and 1999, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31,
2000 1999
Shares of common stock issuable under:            
     Warrants    856,821    1,449,352  
     Options    4,000,000    —  
Total shares of common stock issuable    4,856,821    1,449,352  

7.   Stock and Warrant Transactions

             In March 2000, the Company sold 803,400 shares of its common stock at $.30 per share to private investors and received total cash proceeds of $241,020.

8.    Subsequent Events

             Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2000, all of the unresolved disputed bankruptcy claims were settled. These settlements pertained primarily to leases associated with the Company’s oil and gas production and waste water disposal operations. In general, these settlements resulted in obligations for payments by the Company, which were accrued at December 31, 1999, changes in the related lease terms to increase the royalty percentages from 12.5% to 16.67% on oil and gas production, an increase on waste water disposal royalties to a range of 10% to 12.5%, and to provide for minimum royalty amounts totaling approximately $36,000 annually. One of these settlements also resulted in the termination of the Company’s oil and gas lease rights representing approximately 8.87% of the Vaca Tar Sands property oil and gas reserves.

10

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

             The following discussion and analysis for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, are to be read in combination with the Financial Statements presented elsewhere herein.

Results of Operations

             During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, we had a net loss of $152,708 compared to a net loss of $156,193 for the comparable 1999 period. Revenues from waste disposal operations decreased from $54,024 for the 1999 period, to $702 for the first quarter of 2000. There were no revenues from oil and gas operations in the 1999 period while a small amount of gas sales in the first quarter of 2000 resulted in $329 of revenues. The decrease in revenues was due to the fact that we were forced to cease operations of our oil and gas properties and waste disposal property as reorganization in bankruptcy proceeded. The bankruptcy proceedings were completed at the end of 1999 and, with new management in place, we began to prepare for renewal of operations in 2000.

             Lease operating expenses also decreased from $53,211 for the first quarter of 1999 to $46,825 for the period in 2000. This decrease, as noted above, is the result of ceasing operations in the latter portion of 1999 and into 2000. Although operations had ceased by the beginning of 2000, we continued to incur some operational costs required to maintain our properties and begin to prepare for future production.

             General and administrative expenses decreased from $83,212 for the period in 1999 to $64,821 for 2000. This decrease also resulted from our reorganization in 1999. Salaries and wages were reduced along with other administrative costs as we completed the reorganization in bankruptcy and emerged with reduced overhead, new management and minimal office staff.

             Professional fees incurred as a result of our reorganization decreased from $55,361 in the 1999 period to $53,482 in 2000 due to the completion of the reorganization in bankruptcy in December of 1999.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

             As of March 31, 2000 our working capital was $2,745 compared to a working capital deficit of $292,385 as of December 31, 1999. This improvement in working capital is a result of our reorganization in bankruptcy. Trade payables and other current liabilities were satisfied and we received additional infusions of cash from new shareholders. Cash and equivalents decreased from $496,916 as of December 31, 1999 to $318,808 as of March 31, 2000.

             Emerging from bankruptcy in December 1999, we are positioned to restore operations of some of our oil and gas properties and our industrial waste disposal operations. With the significant improvement in working capital noted above and expected additional infusions of cash from shareholders, we intend to make necessary improvements to our properties and restore operational cash flow.

             In recent years inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations or financial condition.

             The most significant trend affecting our future operations is the significant increases in oil prices. The spot price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) reached a high of $34.12 per barrel in March of 2000 compared to $16.80 per barrel in the first quarter of 1999. Further, heavy oil (13 degree API) in California reached a high price in March 2000 of $26.50 per barrel compared to just $9.75 per barrel at the same time in 1999. Forecasts published by the DOE Energy Information Administration project continued strong price support for crude oil and natural gas, however the forecast indicates a more moderate price for WTI in the $25 to $32 per barrel range.
