PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information, financial
statements and other data appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. At various places in this
prospectus, we may make reference to the company or us or we. When we use those terms,
unless the context otherwise requires, we mean GeoGlobal Resources Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
GeoGlobal Resources Inc.
GeoGlobal Resources Inc. is engaged, through subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we are a
participant, in the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas reserves. At present,
these activities are being undertaken in locations where we and our joint venture participants have
been granted exploration rights pursuant to agreements we have entered into with the Government of
India. As of September 30, 2005, we have entered into agreements with respect to six of these
exploration blocks as follows:
|
|
|
The first of our agreements, entered into in February 2003, grants exploration
rights in an area offshore eastern India. We refer to this as the KG Block and we
have a net 5% carried interest under this agreement. |
|
|
|
|
We have entered into two agreements which grant exploration rights in areas onshore
in the Cambay Basin in the State of Gujarat in western India. These agreements were
entered into with the Government of India in February 2004 and we have a 10%
participating interest under each of these agreements. We refer to these as the
Mehsana Block and the Sanand/Mirola Block. |
|
|
|
|
In April 2005, we entered into an agreement with Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation
Limited (GSPC), providing for our purchase and the sale by GSPC, subject to
Government of India consent, of a 20% participating interest in the agreement granting
exploration rights onshore in the Cambay Basin in the State of Gujarat. We refer to
this as the Tarapur Block. |
|
|
|
|
On September 23, 2005, we signed agreements with respect to two additional
locations. One area is located onshore in the Cambay Basin located in the State of
Gujarat south-east of our three existing Cambay blocks in which we hold a 10%
participating interest. The second area is onshore in the Deccan Syneclise Basin
located in the northern portion of the State of Maharashtra in west-central India for
which we hold a 100% participating interest. |
All of our exploration activities should be considered highly speculative.

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 prospectus,
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 prospectus.
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.
Risks Relating to Our Oil and Gas Activities
Because We Are In the Early Stage Of Developing Our Activities, There Are Considerable Risks
That 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 primarily involved entering into five Production
Sharing Contracts with the Government of India. In addition, we have entered into an agreement to
acquire a participating interest in a sixth Production Sharing Contract, subject to Government of
India consent. 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 September 30, 2005 a
venture in which we have a net 5% interest, has drilled and abandoned two wells, has tested and
evaluated a third well and is engaged in drilling a fourth well. As of September 30, 2005, we
claim no reserves of hydrocarbons as a result of those drilling, testing and evaluation activities.
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 Production Sharing Contracts we are parties
to. There can be no assurance that the exploratory drilling to be conducted on the exploration
blocks in which we hold or have agreed to acquire 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.
8
Our business plans also include seeking to enter into additional joint ventures or other
arrangements to acquire interests in additional government created and granted hydrocarbon
exploration opportunities, primarily located onshore or in the offshore waters of India.
Opportunities to acquire interests in exploration opportunities will be dependent upon our ability
to identify, negotiate and enter into joint venture or other similar arrangements with respect to
specific exploration opportunities and upon our ability to raise sufficient capital to fund our
participation in those joint ventures or other exploration activities. Our success will be
dependent upon the success of the exploration activities of the ventures in which we acquire an
interest.
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.
Possible Inability of Contracting Parties to Fulfill Phase One of the Minimum Work Program for
the KG Block
Under the terms of our Production Sharing Contract relating to the KG Block, the first phase of the
exploration period was to expire on September 11, 2005. The Production Sharing Contract provides
that by the end of the first phase, the contracting parties, in addition to other parts of the work
program which have been completed, shall have drilled at least fourteen wells. Through September
11, 2005, three wells had been drilled on the exploration block, leaving eleven wells to be
drilled. The Production Sharing Contract provides that, if at the end of an exploration phase a
work program for that phase is not completed, the time for completion of the exploration program
for that phase is to be extended for a period necessary to enable completion but not exceeding six
months provided the parties (i) submit a request by written notice to the Government of India at
least thirty days prior to the expiration of the relevant phase, (ii) can show technical or other
good reasons for the non-completion of the work program, and (iii) the management committee gives
its consent to the extension. Any such extension that is granted is to be deducted from the next
succeeding exploration phase. On August 5, 2005, a written notice requesting the six month
extension was submitted and on August 29, 2005, the management
9
committee consented to the extension of six months to March 11, 2006 and deducted the six month
extension from the Phase II exploration period.
In the event the eleven additional wells are not drilled by March 11, 2006, the Government of India
would have the right to assert that the contracting parties have failed to comply with or have
contravened a material provision of the Production Sharing Contract. Under such circumstances, the
Production Sharing Contract will be subject to termination by the Government of India on ninety
days written notice, unless such failure of compliance or contravention is remedied within the
ninety-day period or such extended period as may be granted by the Government of India. In the
event the Production Sharing Contract is terminated by the Government of India, or in the event the
work program is not fulfilled by the end of the relevant exploration phase, each party to the
Production Sharing Contract is to pay to the Government of India its participating interest share
of an amount which is equal to the amount that would be required to complete the minimum work
program for that phase. We are of the view that GSPC, under the terms of our Carried Interest
Agreement, would be liable for our participating interest share of the amount required to complete
the minimum work program for the phase. However, termination of the Production Sharing Contract by
the Government of India would result in the loss of our interest in the KG Block other than areas
determined to encompass commercial discoveries.
Because Our Activities Have Only Recently Commenced And We Have No Operating History Or
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 of prior exploratory
drilling. |
During the exploration phase prior to the start date of initial commercial production, we have a
carried interest in the exploration activities on KG Block. Our interests in the three exploration
blocks in the Cambay Basin are participating interests which require us to pay our proportionate
share of exploration, drilling and development expenses on these blocks substantially as those
expenses are incurred. In addition, our interests in the Production Sharing Contracts entered into
on September 23, 2005 relating to two areas onshore in the Cambay and Deccan Syneclise Basins 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 Block are to be repaid in full to GSPC, the operator of our ventures activities
10
on the block, 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. Because our operations were recently established and we have no
substantial operating history, the further development of our business plan, the outcome of our
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.
Through September 30, 2005, we have had to abandon two wells drilled on the KG Block and 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.
We Expect to Have Substantial Requirements For Additional Capital That May Be Unavailable To Us
Which Could Limit Our Ability To Participate In Our Existing and Additional Ventures Or Pursue
Other Opportunities. Our Available Capital is Limited
In order to participate under the terms of our Production Sharing Contracts 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 relating to the KG Block, after the start date of initial
commercial production on the KG Block, and under the terms of the five additional Production
Sharing Contracts we are parties to, as well as the agreement relating to the acquisition of the
20% participating interest in the Tarapur Block, 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
intend 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 Production Sharing Contracts which could result in the
loss of our rights under the contract.
As of September 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $36.0 million. We
currently expect that our available cash will be sufficient to fund through 2006 at the present
level of operations our required capital expenditures on the five exploration blocks in which we
11
are currently a participant and our participation in the Tarapur Block in which we agreed to
acquire a 20% participating interest. We estimate our commitments pursuant to the terms of our
agreements relating to these exploration blocks to total approximately $4.43 million during the
period October 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, including the agreements signed on September 23,
2005 and an estimated $6.0 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2007. Any further
Production Sharing Contacts we may seek to enter into or any expanded scope of our operations or
other transactions that we may enter into may require us to fund our participation or capital
expenditures 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.
Pursuant to our agreement executed on April 7, 2005 to acquire a 20% participating interest from
GSPC in the Tarapur Block (Tarapur), we paid to GSPC the sum of approximately Rs. 2.53 Crore
(approximately $580,000). In addition, it is expected that under the terms of our agreement with
GSPC the total capital we will be required to contribute to exploration activities on Tarapur
during the quarter based on our 20% participating interest will be approximately $300,000.
Further, we have committed to expend an aggregate of approximately $1.2 million for exploration
activities under the terms of the agreement over a period of 21/2 years. Our agreement with GSPC is
subject to obtaining the Government of India consent. In the event such consent is not obtained,
the assignment would be terminated. Under such circumstances, we intend to seek to negotiate an
alternative acceptable arrangement with GSPC. In the event the Government of India does not reject
in writing the application for consent to the assignment within 180 days, it is deemed approved.
We intend that such an alternative acceptable arrangement would include provisions that would place
us in an economic position substantially equivalent to the position we would have held if the
consent of the Government of India had been obtained and the assignment of the interest effected.
We do not have an alternative agreement or understanding with GSPC in effect, and we cannot make
any assurance that such an alternative arrangement can be entered into with GSPC. In the event
such an arrangement is not entered into we would seek to have the moneys advanced by us to GSPC
returned to us. There can be no assurance that the Government of India consent will be obtained or
that we will be successful in having the moneys advanced to GSPC returned to us if an acceptable
alternative arrangement is not available to us.
Indias Regulatory Regime May Increase Our Risks And Expenses Of 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. In addition, the award of a Production Sharing
Contract is subject to Government of India consent and matters relating to the implementation and
conduct of operations under the Production Sharing Contract is subject, under certain
circumstances, to Government of India consent. 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 our 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
12
environment may increase the risks associated with our intended exploration and productivity
activities and increase our costs of doing business.
Our Control By Directors And Executive Officers May Result In Those Persons Having Interests
Divergent From Our Other Stockholders
As of September 30, 2005, our Directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates, in
the aggregate, beneficially hold 34,061,667 shares or approximately 54.5% of our outstanding Common
Stock. As a result, these stockholders possess significant influence over us, giving them the
ability, among other things, to elect a majority of our Board of Directors and approve significant
corporate transactions. These persons will retain significant control over our present and future
activities and our other stockholders and investors may be unable to meaningfully influence the
course of our actions. These persons may have interests regarding the future activities and
transactions in which we engage which may diverge from the interests of our other stockholders.
Such share ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of us, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving
us, or discourage a potential acquiror from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of us which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
Although management has no intention of engaging in such activities, there is also a risk that the
existing management will be viewed as pursuing an agenda which is beneficial to themselves at the
expense of other stockholders.
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 contractual 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 three-year Technical Services Agreement with Roy Group
(Barbados) Inc. 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.
13
Our Success Is Largely Dependent On The Success Of The Operators Of The Ventures In Which We
Participate And Their Failure Or Inability To Properly Or Successfully Operate The Oil And Gas
Exploration, Development And Production Activities On An Exploration Block, Could Materially
Adversely Affect Us
At present, our only oil and gas interests are our rights under the terms of the five Production
Sharing Contracts with the Government of India that we have entered into and the assignment
agreement with GSPC, effective only upon obtaining Government of India consent, relating to an
interest in the Tarapur Block. We are not and will not be the operator of any of the exploration,
drilling and production activities conducted on four of these 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.
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 must be repaid
without interest over the projected production life or ten years, whichever is less. Our
proportionate share of these costs and expenses expected to be incurred over the 6.5 year term of
the Production Sharing Contract for which our interest is carried is estimated to be approximately
$22.0 million, including the $5.0 million attributable to us as of December 31, 2004 and $8.7
million attributable to us as of June 30, 2005, of which 50% is for the account of Roy Group
(Mauritius) Inc. Additional expenditures may be required for cost overruns and completions of
commercially successful wells. We are unable to estimate the amount of additional expenditures
GSPC will make as operator 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 between us and Roy Group (Mauritius) Inc. 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, in addition to repaying our proportionate share of capital costs incurred for which we
were carried, we will be required to bear our proportionate share of 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 Production Sharing Contracts 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 Production Sharing Contracts. In the event the venture
participants fail to fulfill any of these minimum work programs, the parties to the |
14
|
|
|
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
Production Sharing Contacts 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 each 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 each ventures and our cost of
operations; and |
|
|
§ |
|
The parties to each 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 Production Sharing Contracts, possibly among others, may increase our costs
of participating in the ventures and thereby affect our profitability.
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
15
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. |
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
approximately the past two years 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
16
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.
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
17
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 Companys common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market
price of a companys 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 managements attention and
resources and have a material adverse effect on our Companys business, results of operations and
financial condition.

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 prospectus 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 prospectus 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 in
which we have interests, 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.
Forward-looking statements also include our plans and objectives to join with others or to directly
seek to enter into or acquire interests in additional Production Sharing Contracts with the
Government of India. Our assumptions, plans and expectations regarding our future capital
requirements, our plans and intentions regarding our plans to raise additional capital, the costs
and expenses to be incurred in conducting any exploration, well drilling, development and
production activities and the adequacy of our capital to meet our requirements for our present
level of 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. 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. Our ability to realize revenues cannot be
assured. Our ability to successfully drill, test and complete producing wells 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. We cannot assure you that we will be
successful in joining any further ventures seeking to be granted Production Sharing Contracts by
the Government of India or that we will be successful in acquiring interests in existing ventures.
We cannot assure you that the Government of India will consent to the assignment by GSPC of the 20%
participating interest in the Tarapur Block or that the Company will be successful in entering into
alternative acceptable arrangements on commercially favorable terms with GSPC should that consent
not be forthcoming. If our plans fail to materialize, your investment will be in jeopardy. We
cannot assure you that the outcome of testing of one or more wells on the KG Block will be
satisfactory and result in a commercially-productive well or that any further wells drilled on the
KG Block will have commercially-successful results. 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 prospectus and could adversely affect our financial
condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy and plans.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Securityholders may sell or distribute some or all of the common stock from time to
time through underwriters or dealers or brokers or other agents or directly to one or more
purchasers, including pledgees, in transactions (which may involve block transactions) or in
privately negotiated transactions (including sales pursuant to pledges), or in a combination of
such transactions. Such transactions may be effected by the Selling Securityholders on the
American Stock Exchange at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. Brokers,
dealers, agents or underwriters participating in such transactions as agent may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholders
(and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser). Such discounts,
concessions or commissions as to a particular broker, dealer, agent or underwriter might be in
excess of those customary in the type of transaction involved.
Persons who are pledges, donees, transferees, or other successors in interest of any of the named
Selling Securityholders (including, but not limited to, persons who receive shares from a named
Selling Securityholder as a gift, partnership distribution, or other non-sale-related transfer
after the date of this prospectus) may also use this prospectus and are included when we refer to
Selling Securityholder in this prospectus. If necessary, we would file a supplement to this
prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933
amending the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, donee, transferee or other
successors in interest as Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. Selling Securityholders
may sell the shares by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
|
|
|
block trades (which may include cross trades) in which the broker or dealer so
engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer
for its own account; |
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution or secondary distribution in accordance with the rules
of any stock exchange or market on which the shares are listed; |
|
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchases; |
|
|
|
|
an offering at other than a fixed price on or through the facilities of any
stock exchange or market on which the shares are listed or to or through a market
maker other than on that stock exchange or market; |
|
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions, directly or through agents; |
|
|
|
|
short sales of shares and sales to cover short sales; |
|
|
|
|
through the writing of options on the shares, whether the options are listed on
an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
through the distribution of the shares by any selling shareholder to its
partners, members of shareholders; |
|
|
|
|
one or more underwritten offerings; |
23
|
|
|
agreements between a broker or dealer and one or more of the selling
shareholders to sell a specified number of the securities at a stipulated price per
share; and |
|
|
|
|
any combination of any of these methods of sale or distribution, or any other
method permitted by applicable law. |
The Selling Securityholders and any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate
in such distribution may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act,
and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers
or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Neither we nor the Selling Securityholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation.
We do not know of any existing arrangements between the Selling Securityholders and any
underwriter, broker, dealer or other agent relating to the sale or distribution of the Selling
Securityholders Securities. If necessary, we will file a supplement to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to disclose any such arrangements
made known to us by the Selling Securityholders.
Under applicable rules and regulations currently in effect under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, any person engaged in a distribution of any of the shares of common stock may not
simultaneously engage in market activities with respect to the common stock for a period of five
business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition, and without limiting
the foregoing, the Selling Securityholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without limitation Regulation M thereunder,
which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock
by the Selling Securityholders. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common
stock.
We will pay substantially all the expenses incident to this offering of the common stock to the
public other than commissions and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents. The
Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker, dealer, agent or underwriter that participates in
transactions involving sales of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act. We estimate these expenses will total $25,000.
The Selling Securityholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act if
available, rather than under this prospectus. Rule 144 is available for the sale of restricted
securities after a period of twelve months has expired from the date the securities are purchased
and fully paid for. Under the tacking provisions of Rule 144, the twelve-month period will begin
to run on the date the shares of common stock were purchased and fully paid for. The holding
period for the shares issued on exercise of the common stock purchase warrants and the compensation
options begins on the date the consideration for the purchase is paid in full. Rule 144 also
imposes limitations on the amount of securities that can be sold and the manner of sale of the
shares during the twelfth to twenty-fourth month period after the purchase of the Debentures. The
limitation on the amount of securities that can be sold limits a Selling Securityholder to selling,
including sales of shares made during the preceding three months, an amount of shares not exceeding
1% of the shares outstanding. This calculation is made without reflecting as outstanding shares
issuable on conversion or exercise of debt securities, including the Debentures, options or
warrants. The manner of sale provisions require that the shares be sold in brokers transactions
and that the person making the sale not solicit or arrange for the solicitation of orders to
purchase the securities in anticipation of or in connection with the sale or
24
make any payment in connection with the offer or sale to any person other than the broker who
executes the sale.
In order to be a brokers transaction, the broker executing the sale can do nothing more than
execute the order to sell as agent for the person selling the shares and receive no more than the
customary commission. In addition, the broker cannot solicit or arrange for the solicitation of
orders to buy the shares or be aware of circumstances indicating that the sale is a part of an
unlawful distribution of the shares in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. A notice of sale on Form 144 is to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
at the time of making a Rule 144 sale.
After a period of twenty-four months has expired from the date the securities are purchased and
fully paid for and provided the shares are intended to be sold by a person who is not an
affiliate of ours, the shares can be resold without complying with the limitations on the amount
of securities sold, the manner of sale provisions and the notice filing requirements of Rule 144
described above. This would be characterized as a Rule 144(k) transaction. Persons who are deemed
to be affiliates of ours will continue to be required to comply with the provisions of Rule 144
described above in making re-sales of shares after the twenty-four month holding period.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides generally that a corporation
shall have the power, and in some cases is required, to indemnify an agent, including an officer
or director, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, against
certain expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts under certain circumstances.
The registrants Certificate of Incorporation limits, to the maximum extent permitted by
Delaware law, the personal liability of the registrants directors and officers for monetary
damages. The registrants Bylaws require the registrant to indemnify its directors and
executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law or any other applicable
law, and permit the registrant to indemnify its other officers. A summary of the circumstances
in which such indemnification is provided for is contained herein, but that description is
qualified in its entirety by reference to Article 5.1 of the registrants Bylaws, incorporated
by reference in this registration statement.
Under the registrants Bylaws, the registrant must generally advance all expenses incurred
by its directors and executive officers who are party or threatened to be made party to any
action by reason of the fact that each such director or executive officer is or was a
28
director or executive officer of the registrant. Each advancement shall only be made if
such director or executive officer undertakes to repay any such advancement if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under the Registrants Bylaws or
otherwise. The registrants Bylaws further provide that the registrant may purchase
indemnification insurance on a person required or permitted to be indemnified under the Bylaws.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of
registrants officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
From time to time, the registrant may enter into individual contracts with any or all of
its directors or officers regarding indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware law. The registrant believes that these agreements and arrangements
are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
(1) |
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement. |
|
|
(2) |
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
(3) |
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. |
|
|
(4) |
|
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or |
29
|
|
|
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
30
Signatures
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form
S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Calgary, Province of Alberta, Canada, on
October 24, 2005.
