GULF EXPLORATION CONSULTANTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) GENERAL
-------
The financial statements of Gulf Exploration Consultants, Inc. (Gulf)
and subsidiaries (collectively "the Company") for the three month period
ended March 31, 1995, are unaudited but reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to fairly present the results for such periods. The
accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report
included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However,
substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern
as the Company has, exclusive of extraordinary items, suffered recurring
losses and has sold substantially all of its revenue producing assets in
the oil and gas industry in order to retire certain debt on which it had
defaulted. As of December 31, 1994 the Company s only active subsidiary is
a development stage enterprise, which commenced operations in 1994 and
requires capital and increased revenue to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During 1993 and 1992, management of the Company was successful in
retiring certain debt at a substantial discount. Management was also
successful in eliminating all of the liquidation preference associated with
the Company's preferred stock by purchasing the remaining stock during
1993.
Management of the Company is also liquidating certain wholly owned
subsidiaries of Gulf. Management of the Company believes that the
liquidation of a subsidiary will not have an effect on Gulf or the
affiliate companies. However, no assurance can be given that Gulf will not
assume a contingent liability for the amount of the subsidiary debt not
fully extinguished in liquidation.
Management s current plans are to raise approximately $500,000 in the
capital markets and improve operating results. The combination of which
are intended to improve capital resources and cash flow of the Company.
However, no assurance can be given that these strategies will be effected,
or, if effected, that the terms will be favorable or non-dilutive to the
stockholders of the Company.
CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT
--------------------
On May 10, 1994 Mr. Paul L H Bristol and Mr. Michael H Nolan joined
the Company as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer
respectively. Both are executives with Minmet plc, a company incorporated
in Ireland and quoted on the Exploration Securities Market of the Dublin
Stock Exchange.
(2) LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
---------------------
Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each period. The average number of common
shares outstanding for the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and
1994 was 99,999,990 and 62,057,731 common shares respectively.
Loss per common share - assuming full dilution is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period
plus the additional common shares outstanding from the assumption that the
Company's serial preferred stock was converted to common stock. The
average number of shares used to compute the fully diluted loss per share
was 99,999,990 and 62,057,731 shares for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively.
Common stock equivalents are antidilutive and are not considered in
the calculations of loss per share.
(3) PREFERRED STOCK
---------------
On March 24, 1993 the Company acquired 3,000 shares of Series A
Preferred stock for $150,000 and zero shares of common. That purchase
retired the balance of the A Preferred shares.
(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
As of April 20, 1995, the Company has not filed certain federal and
state income tax returns for the years ended 1991, 1992 and 1993. The 1994
return has been extended. It is management s intent to file the required
tax returns in 1995. Management believes penalties for late filing will
not be material to the financial statements.
Russiamoney, which Emerging Money has a 50% interest in, has the
following commitments which expire December 31, 1995:
$10,000 per month, payable to a related party, for the purpose of
receiving various financial information to be provided to subscribers. The
amount is subject to increase to $17,000 per month if certain cash flow
targets of the joint venture are reached. 13,750 Irish pounds, $21,010
using the December 31, 1994 exchange rate, per month payable to various
related parties for various management and production services.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 1995.
The Company had a net loss of $219,189 for the quarter ending March
31, 1995. Production costs of the Russiamoney product totaled 83,779
pounds against revenues of $13,132. Other costs including administration
overhead and marketing totaled $134,590 were incurred in the establishment
of the product. The Russiamoney product is experiencing difficulties in
generating the levels of sales volumes budgeted and discussions are taking
place with distributors in the industry to expand the distribution outlets
of the product.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTIONS
----------------------------------------------------------
Subsequent to the purchase of Emerging Money plc the Company has been
seeking to raise additional funding through a private placement of debt.
$200,000 of short term funding has been raised and management are trying to
secure an additional $300,000 to secure the Company s funding requirement.
It is intended that after a recapitalization the Company will raise
additional capital to fund the future development of Emerging Money plc and
to repay the debt raised in the private placement.
Negotiations on the private placement of debt and the raising of additional
equity are on going and as a result there is no guarantee that these sums
will be raised.
