TABLE OF CONTENTS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
certain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current
expectations of CanArgo and speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements
involve risks, uncertainties and other factors. The factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q are among those factors that in some cases have affected CanArgos historic
results and could cause actual results in the future to differ significantly from the results
anticipated in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, future
filings by CanArgo with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in CanArgos press releases and in
oral statements made by authorized officers of CanArgo. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, the words estimate, project, anticipate, expect, intend, believe, hope, may
and similar expressions, as well as will, shall and other indications of future tense, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Few of the forward-looking statements in this
Report deal with matters that are within our unilateral control. Acquisition, financing and other
agreements and arrangements must be negotiated with independent third parties and, in some cases,
must be approved by governmental agencies. These third parties generally have interests that do not
coincide with ours and may conflict with our interests. Unless the third parties and we are able to
compromise their various objectives in a mutually acceptable manner, agreements and arrangements
will not be consummated.

CANARGO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
|
|
The interim consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto of CanArgo Energy
Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, we, our, CanArgo or the Company)
have been prepared by management without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the consolidated
condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. Although
management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of
significant accounting policies normally included in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying consolidated condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in CanArgos Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All amounts are
in U.S. dollars. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire fiscal year ending
December 31, 2005. |
|
|
|
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements |
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

On June 7, 2005, CanArgo made an offer to acquire 55% of the ordinary share capital of
Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited (Tethys) which was held by Provincial Securities Limited (Provincial) and Vando
International Finance Limited (Vando) for consideration of 11,000,000 CanArgo common
shares. On June 9, 2005 CanArgo issued 5,500,000 shares to Provincial, of which Russ
Hammond (one of our non-executive directors) is Investment Advisor and 5,500,000 shares to
Vando in connection with this transaction. At June 7, 2005, the closing price of CanArgo
total common stock was $0.76 giving the common stock consideration a market value of
$8,360,000 for the 11 million shares. On completion of the acquisition, CanArgo held 100% of
the ordinary share capital of Tethys through its subsidiary CanArgo Limited and Tethys
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We have recorded our interest as if the
acquisition occurred on June 30, 2005.

Dismantlement, Restoration and Environmental Costs |
|
|
Effective January 1, 2003, we recognize liabilities for asset retirement obligations
associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing well sites, with a
corresponding increase in the related long-lived asset. The asset retirement cost is
depreciated along with the property and equipment in the full cost pool. The asset
retirement obligation is recorded at fair value and accretion expense, recognized over the
life of the property, increases the liability to its expected settlement value. If the fair
value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded for
both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. As at June 30, 2005 the
asset retirement obligation, which is included on the consolidated balance sheet in
provision for future site restoration, was $731,848, which includes $288,748 for retirement
obligations related to our acquired Tethys operations. |
|
|
Our current and future operations and earnings depend upon the results of our operations
primarily in the Republic of Georgia (Georgia) and to a lesser degree in the Republic of
Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan). There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully
conduct such operations, and a failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the success of our
operations generally will be subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond
management control. These contingencies include general and regional economic conditions,
prices for crude oil and natural gas, competition and changes in regulation. Since we are
dependent on international operations, we will be subject to various additional political,
economic and other uncertainties. Among other risks, our operations may be subject to the
risks and restrictions on transfer of funds, import and export duties, quotas and embargoes,
domestic and international customs and tariffs, and changing taxation policies, foreign
exchange restrictions, political conditions and restrictive regulations. |

Restricted cash of $1,400,000 at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 relates to
money placed in a third party escrow account in October 2004, to fund part of the
horizontal development program, of which WEUS Holding Inc., a subsidiary of
Weatherford International Limited (Weatherford) is the primary contractor, at the
Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields in Georgia These funds were disbursed to the
contractor in July 2005 in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement. |

In the first quarter of 2005 we funded a certificate of deposit in the amount of
$3,900,000 to secure the issuance of a letter of credit as required under the rig
rental and drilling contract we entered into with Saipem, S.p.A. Under the terms of
the letter of credit $1,100,000 was released and became unrestricted cash in July
2005. The remaining deposits are due to become unrestricted in October ($2,250,000)
and December 2005 ($550,000). |

and $0 respectively. |

In September 2004, a blow-out occurred at the N100 well on the Ninotsminda Field.
Our insurers will cover 80% of the costs associated with the blow out up to a
maximum cover of $2,500,000. We received $800,000 from our insurers
in the second
quarter of 2005 in respect of costs incurred to date. As of June 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, $314,024 and $1,047,359 was recorded as a receivable,
respectively. |
|
|
|
Included in receivables as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $1,080,190 and
$1,057,534, respectively, due from Georgian Oil Samgori Limited (GOSL) for its
share of capital expenditure, on the planned horizontal well drilling program on the
Samgori Field. We have funded 100% of the costs so far and should GOSL not be in a
position to or elect not to fund its share of the program costs, we are entitled to
continue the project at our sole risk at which time the receivable would be
transferred to oil and gas properties. We would be entitled to 100% of the
contractors share of any incremental production resulting from the sole risk
operations where we were the party undertaking the sole risk. |

On April 26, 2005 we signed a promissory note with Cornell Capital whereby Cornell Capital
agreed to advance us the sum of $15 million (Promissory Note) under the following terms: |
|
|
|
This $15 million and interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum was payable either in cash or
using the net proceeds of drawdowns under the SEDA, within 270 calendar days from the date
of the Promissory Note. Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, we escrowed 25
requests for advances under the SEDA each in an amount not less than $600,000 and one
advance of $289,726.03 (representing estimated interest) together with 16,938,558 shares of
CanArgo common stock. The escrow agent releases requests every 7 calendar days from May 2,
2005 provided we have not previously made a payment to Cornell Capital in cash. We have the
ability at our sole discretion upon 24 hours prior written notice to Cornell Capital to
repay all and any amounts due under the Promissory Note in immediately available funds and
withdraw any advance notices yet to be effected. |
|
|
|
As disclosed in Note 20, the Promissory Note was repaid in full in cash on August 1, 2005,
all escrowed advances cancelled and 7,260,647 shares of CanArgo common stock are being
returned from escrow. On July 25, 2005 notice was given to Cornell Capital to terminate the
SEDA. |
|
|
|
In order to ensure timely procurement of long lead items for our drilling program in Georgia
and for working capital purposes during 2004, we entered into a number of loan agreements of
which those outstanding during the second quarter 2005 are described below. |
|
|
|
Long Term Loan with Detachable Warrants: This loan from Salahi Ozturk advanced pursuant to
the amended and restated loan and warrant agreement dated August 27, 2004 (Amended
Agreement) matures in August 2006 unless it has previously been converted. Corporate
finance fees of $50,000 were paid in respect of the loan. Interest is payable quarterly at
a rate of 7.5% per annum. The loan is convertible into shares of CanArgo Common Stock at
15% above a market price of $0.60 in effect when the agreement was reached in August 2004,
subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. We have the option to force conversion of
the loan if our share price exceeds 160% of $0.60 (or $0.96 per share) for a period of 20
consecutive trading days. No conversion is possible until August 28, 2005. |
|
|
|
The Companys stock price at the time of the agreement was $0.51; consequently, pursuant to
EITF 98-5 Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or
Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios and EITF 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to
Certain Convertible Instruments, the issuance of the loan and detachable warrants resulted
in a discount being recorded in the amount of $263,786, which resulted from the relative
fair value of the warrants, as determined using the Black-Scholes model. |
13
|
|
We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value
of the debt and warrants: |

|
|
The discounts are being amortized to expense interest over the life of the loan using the
effective interest method. The effective interest rate was 18.9%. As of June 30, 2005 we
had amortized $111,440 of the debt discount as interest expense. |
|
|
|
Promissory Note: On May 19, 2004, we signed a promissory note with Cornell Capital whereby
Cornell Capital agreed to advance us the sum of $1,500,000. We have repaid the promissory
note in full by making a series of takedowns in February and March 2005 under the SEDA. |

Included in the amounts due to drilling contractors at June 30, 2005 are amounts invoiced by
Weatherford totalling $4,190,230. We have formally notified Weatherford that we dispute
the validity of certain billings to the Company for work Weatherford performed in the first
and second quarter of 2005. The |
14
|
|
amount under dispute is approximately $2.8 million. We have recorded all amounts billed by
Weatherford as of June 30, 2005 pending the outcome of the dispute resolution which may
require referral to the London Court of International Arbitration for resolution in
accordance with the provisions of the contract. As of the date of these financial
statements, Weatherford have de-mobilised their equipment from site and are in preparation
for moving the equipment out of Georgia. |
|
|
Through our acquisition of 100% of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited on June 9, 2005 we
acquired a 70% ownership interest in the Kazakhstan based limited
liability partnership, BN Munai LLP (BN Munai).
BN Munai has only suffered losses from inception and currently the Company is the only
partner funding the current operating losses, therefore, no minority interest is recorded at
June 30, 2005 for the 30% ownership not under our control. The Company does not expect the
minority partners in BN Munai to contribute funds to the partnership. |

In September 2003, CanArgo Norio Limited (CNL) signed a Farm-In agreement (the
Agreement) relating to the Norio Production Sharing Agreement (the Norio PSA) with a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Georgian State Oil Company (Georgian Oil). Georgian Oil
was already a party to the Norio PSA as the commercial representative of the State. The
Agreement obligated Georgian Oil to pay up to $2,000,000 to complete the MK-72 well on the
Norio prospect in return for a 15% interest in the contractor share of the Norio PSA.
Georgian Oil also had an option (the Option) exercisable for a limited period after
completion of the well, to increase its interest to 50% of the contractor share of the Norio
PSA on payment to CNL of $6,500,000. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
Georgian Oil invested $1,758,000 in deepening the MK72 well. |
|
|
|
On May 9, 2005 we announced that CNL had signed final documentation with Georgian Oil for
CNL to secure 100% of the contractor share in the Norio PSA. On May 20, 2005 we paid
Georgian Oil $1,758,000 to terminate the Agreement and Option and secure a 100% working
interest in the Norio PSA. |

On February 11, 2004, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA)
that allowed us, at our option, periodically to issue shares of our common stock to US-based
investment fund Cornell Capital. On February 03, 2005, the
SEC declared effective the registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-115261)
originally filed by us on May 6, 2004 in respect of the shares issuable under the SEDA.
Under the terms of the SEDA, Cornell Capital will provide us with an equity line of credit
for 24 months from the date the registration statement became effective. The maximum
aggregate amount of the equity placements pursuant to the SEDA is $20,000,000. Subject to
this limitation, we can draw down up to $600,000 in any seven trading-day period (a Put).
The SEDA could be used in whole or in part entirely at our discretion. Shares issued to
Cornell Capital would be priced at a 3% discount to the lowest daily Volume Weighted Closing
Bid Price (VWAP) of CanArgo common shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE) for
each of the five consecutive trading days immediately following a draw down notice by
CanArgo. For each share of common stock purchased under the SEDA,
Cornell Capital received a substantial discount to the current market price of CanArgo common stock. The
level of the total discount varied depending on the market price of our stock and the
amount drawn down under the SEDA. Such discounts comprised (1) 3% discount to, the
lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock; (2) 5% of the proceeds that we
receive for each advance under the SEDA; and (3) a commitment fee. The commitment fee,
which has been paid, consisted of $10,000 in cash and 850,000 shares of our common stock. On
July 25, 2005, we issued to Cornell Capital a notice to terminate the SEDA. |
|
|
|
As of August 8, 2005, we have received $12,332,548 proceeds net of $285,749 of discounts
(excluding the commitment fee of $10,000 and 850,000 shares of common stock previously paid
to Cornell Capital) pursuant to twenty one takedowns under the SEDA in which we issued a
total of 13,012,945 shares of our common stock to Cornell Capital at an average price of
$0.9477 per share. From these proceeds, $1,532,548 was used to repay the promissory note of
$1,500,000 plus accrued interest on the note of $32,548 to Cornell Capital and partially
repay the promissory note of $15,000,000, referred to below. |
|
|
|
On April 26, 2005 we signed a promissory note with Cornell Capital whereby Cornell Capital
agreed to advance us the sum of $15,000,000. This amount and interest at a rate of 7.5% per
annum was payable either in cash or using the net proceeds of drawdowns under the SEDA,
within 270 days from the date of the promissory note. (See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements, Item 10 Loans Payable and Long Term Debt above for a more
detailed discussion). As disclosed in Note 20, the Promissory Note was repaid in full in
cash on August 1, 2005. |
|
|
|
On June 9, 2005 we issued 11,000,000 shares of CanArgo Common Stock by way of exchange for
55% of the share capital of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited, (Tethys), thereby making
Tethys a wholly owned subsidiary of CanArgo. (See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements, Item 2 Business Combination above for a more detailed discussion). |

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share |
|
|
Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per
Share. Basic and diluted earnings per share are provided for continuing operations,
discontinued operations and net income (loss). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed
based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period
and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted earnings per share reflects potential dilution
from the exercise of securities (warrants, options and convertible debt) into common stock. |
|
|
|
Basic and diluted net loss per common share for the six
months and three months periods ended June 30, 2005 and June
30, 2004 were based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during those
periods. Options and warrants to purchase CanArgos Common Stock were outstanding during the
six months ended June 30, 2005 were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per
common share because the effect of such inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The total
number of such shares excluded from diluted net loss per common share were 11,771,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2005. |

Commitments and Contingencies |
|
|
|
We have contingent obligations and may incur additional obligations, absolute and
contingent, with respect to the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties and
ventures in which we have interests that require or may require us to expend funds and to
issue shares of our Common Stock. |
|
|
|
At June 30, 2005, we had the contingent obligation to issue an aggregate of 187,500 shares
of our Common Stock to Fielden Management Services PTY, Ltd (a third party management
services company), subject to the satisfaction of conditions related to the achievement of
specified performance standards by the Stynawske Field project, an oil field in Ukraine in
which we had a previous interest. |
|
|
|
Under the Production Sharing Contract for Blocks XIG and XIH (the
Tbilisi PSC) in the Republic of Georgia our subsidiary CNL will acquire additional seismic
data within three years of the effective date of the contract which is September 29, 2003.
The total commitment over the next thirteen months is $350,000. |
|
|
|
In 2002, the Participation Agreement for the three well exploration program on the
Ninotsminda /Manavi area with AES Gardabani (a subsidiary of AES
Corporation) (AES) was terminated without AES earning any rights to any of
the Ninotsminda / Manavi area reservoirs. We therefore have no present obligations in
respect of AES. However, under a separate Letter of Agreement, if gas from the Sub Middle
Eocene is discovered and produced from the exploration area covered by the Participation
Agreement, AES will be entitled to recover at the rate of 15% of future gas sales from the
Sub Middle Eocene, net of operating costs, approximately $7,500,000, representing their
prior funding under the Participation Agreement. |
|
|
|
In April 2004, we acquired a 50% interest in the Samgori (Block XIB) Production
Sharing Contract (Samgori PSC) in Georgia. This interest was acquired from Georgian Oil
Samgori Limited (GOSL), a company wholly owned by Georgian Oil, by one of our
subsidiaries, CanArgo Samgori Limited (CSL). Under the terms of the agreement dated
January 8, 2004, up to 10 horizontal wells will be drilled on the Samgori Field. Completion
of well S302, which was funded 100% by us, satisfied our commitment to GOSL under the
acquisition agreement. It is planned that the remainder of the drilling program will be
funded jointly by CSL and GOSL, the Contractor parties, pro rata to their interest in the
Samgori PSC. The total cost to us of participating in the whole program, which is due to be
completed by June 2008, is anticipated to be up to $13,500,000. |
|
|
|
The original Contractor party to the Samgori PSC, National Petroleum Limited (NPL), has an
option to reacquire its Contractors interest in the Samgori PSC and its 50% interest in the
operating company in the event that the agreed work program is not completed in part by
September 2006 and in full by June 2008. Furthermore, NPL has outstanding costs and
expenses of $37,528,964 in relation to the Samgori PSC which are recoverable by NPL
receiving 30% of annual net profit from the Field until such costs have been fully repaid.
Under the Samgori PSC, up to 50% of petroleum produced under the contract is allocated to
the Contractor parties for the recovery of the cumulative allowable capital, operating and
other project costs associated with the Samgori Field and exploration in Block
XIB (Cost Recovery Oil). The cost recovery pool includes the $37,528,964 costs
previously incurred by NPL. The balance of production (Profit Oil) is allocated on a
50/50 basis between the State and the Contractor parties respectively. While GOSL and CSL
continue to have unrecovered costs, they will receive 75% of total production (net 37.5% to
us). After |
18
|
|
recovery of their cumulative capital, operating and other allowable project costs including
the NPL costs, the Contractor parties will receive 30% of Profit Oil (net 15% to us). The
allocation of a share of production to the State, however, relieves the Contractor parties
of all obligations they would otherwise have to pay the Republic of Georgia for taxes,
duties and levies related to activities covered by the Samgori PSC. After NPLs costs are
repaid from either Field production or other production in the PSC (in the event that new
fields are developed in areas identified using seismic surveys originally performed by NPL),
NPL shall continue to receive 5% of annual net profit. |
|
|
|
Under the Samgori PSC, Georgian Oil as the State representative in the contract is entitled
to receive up to 250,000 tons (approximately 1.6 million barrels) of oil (Base Level Oil)
from a maximum of 50% per calendar quarter of production when the value of the cumulative
Cost Recovery Oil, cumulative Cost Recovery Natural Gas, cumulative Profit Oil and
cumulative Profit Natural Gas delivered to the Contractor parties exceeds the cumulative
allowable capital, operating and other project costs including finance costs associated with
the Samgori Field and exploration in Block XIB and the NPL costs. While Base
Level Oil is being delivered to Georgian Oil, the Contractor parties will continue to be
entitled to a maximum of 50% of the remaining Profit Oil. The Base Level Oil is an estimate
of the amount of oil that Georgian Oil would have expected to produce from the contract area
had the State not come to a contractual arrangement with the previous Contractor party in
1996. |
|
|
|
Upon completion of the acquisition of an interest in the Samgori PSC we had a contractual
obligation to issue 4,000,000 shares of CanArgo Common Stock to Europa Oil Services Limited
(Europa), an unaffiliated company in connection with a consultancy agreement with Europa
in relation to this acquisition. On April 16, 2004 Europa was issued with 4,000,000
restricted shares of CanArgo Common Stock in an arms length transaction. A further
12,000,000 shares of CanArgo Common Stock are issuable upon certain production targets being
met from future developments under the Samgori PSC. |
|
|
|
In September 2004, a blow-out occurred at the N100 well on the Ninotsminda Field. The
Company currently estimates that the total costs attributable to the
blow-out, including
compensation and cleaning of the environment will be $2,000,000. The
Companys insurance
policies cover 80% of these costs up to a maximum of $2,500,000 and the remaining 20%
insurance retention being payable by the Company. On June 3, 2005 we received $800,000, as
a first installment, from our insurance company. |

CanArgo Standard Oil Products Limited |
|
|
|
In September 2002, we approved a plan to sell our interest in CanArgo Standard Oil Products
Limited (CSOP), a petroleum product retail business in Georgia, to finance our exploration
and production activities. In October 2002, we reached agreement with Westrade Alliance
LLC, an unaffiliated company, to sell our wholly owned subsidiary, CanArgo Petroleum
Products Limited (CPPL), which held our 50% interest in CSOP for $4,000,000 in an
arms-length transaction, with legal ownership being transferred upon receipt of final
payment due originally in August 2003 and subsequently extended. The total payment received
in 2004 was $1,857,000 with the final payment of the consideration received by us in
December 2004 at which time we transferred our ownership in CPPL to Westrade Alliance LLC. |

Lateral Vector Resources Inc
Lateral Vector Resources Inc. (LVR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CanArgo, negotiated and
concluded with Ukrnafta, the Ukrainian State Oil Company, a Joint Investment Production
Activity (JIPA) agreement in 1998 to develop the Bugruvativske Field located in Eastern
Ukraine.
In 2003, due to the lack of progress with the implementation of the JIPA, and failure to
reach a negotiated agreement with Ukrnafta, management reached the decision to dispose of
its interest in the Bugruvativske project and withdraw from Ukraine. Consequently, we
recorded in 2003 a write-down in respect to the LVR deal and the acquisition of the
Bugruvativske Field of approximately $4,790,727.
On May 28, 2004, we announced that pursuant to a signed agreement between CanArgo
Acquisition Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, and Stanhope Solutions Ltd., we had
completed a transaction to sell our interest in the Bugruvativske Field through the disposal
of LVR for $2,000,000. We received $250,000 as an initial payment and will receive the
remaining $1,750,000 if certain production targets are achieved on the project.

Georgian American Oil Refinery
In 2003, we approved a plan to dispose of our interest in the Georgian American Oil Refinery
Limited (GAOR) as the refinery had remained closed since 2001 and neither we nor our
partners could find a commercially viable option to putting the refinery back into
operation. In February 2004, we reached agreement with a local Georgian company to sell our
51% interest in GAOR for a nominal price of one US dollar and the assumption of all the
obligations and debts of GAOR to the State of Georgia including deferred tax liabilities of
approximately $380,000. The gain recorded on disposition of GAOR was $330,923.
The results of operations of GAOR have been classified as discontinued for all periods
presented. Net income from discontinued operations is disclosed net of taxes and minority
interest. The plan to dispose of the asset led to the write-off of an inter-company payable
relating to oil sales purchased from Ninotsminda Oil Company Limited. These items have been
respectively recorded in impairment of other assets and other income (expense) components of
continuing operations.
The results of discontinued operations in respect of GAOR consisted of the following for the

3-megawatt duel fuel power generator |
|
|
|
In 2003, we signed a sales agreement disposing of a 3-megawatt duel fuel power generator for
$600,000. Following receipt of a non-refundable deposit of $300,000, the unit was shipped
to the US for testing. The test was completed at the beginning of 2005 and we expect the
generator will be delivered to the buyer in the near future following receipt of the final
payment. |

20 Subsequent Events
On July 25, 2005, we announced that we had closed the private placement of a $25,000,000
issue of Senior Convertible Secured Loan Notes (SCSLN) with a group of investors arranged
by Ingalls & Snyder LLC of New York City.
The
proceeds of this financing, after the payment of all professional and
placing expenses
and fees estimated at $550,000, have been used to redeem short term debt in the amount of
approximately $7,400,000 under the Promissory Note with Cornell Capital to fund the appraisal of a new gas project in Georgia, to fund the development of
the Kyzyloy Gas Field in Kazakhstan and adjacent exploration areas, and for additional
working capital for our development, appraisal and exploration activities in Georgia. In
addition, we are terminating the SEDA which we currently
have with Cornell Capital.
24
In connection with the SCSLN we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with a group of
private investors (the Purchasers), all of whom represented that they qualified as
accredited investors under Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we issued a note
due July 25, 2009 in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 to Ingalls & Snyder LLC,
as nominee for the Purchasers, in a transaction intended to qualify for an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D
promulgated thereunder. For purposes hereof each of the Purchasers is deemed a beneficial
holder of the Note and such Purchasers may each be assigned their own Note as provided in
the Note Purchase Agreement and, accordingly, all such Notes are referred to herein
collectively as the Note and any such Purchaser or its assignee is referred to herein as a
holder of the Note.
The terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and related agreements include the following:
Interest. The unpaid principal balance under the Note bears interest (computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) (a) at increasing rates ranging from 3% per annum
from the date of issuance to December 31, 2005; 10% per annum from January 1, 2006 until
December 31, 2006; and 15% per annum from January 1, 2007 until final payment, payable
semi-annually, on June 30th and December 30th , commencing December
30, 2005, until the principal shall have become due and payable and (b) at 3% per annum
above the applicable rate on any overdue payments of principal and interest.
Optional Prepayments. CanArgo may, at its option, upon at least not less than 90 days and
not more than 120 days prior written notice, prepay at any time and from time to time after
July 31, 2006, all or any part of the Note, in a principal amount of not less than $100,000
at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount so
prepaid): 105% after July 31, 2006; 104% after January 1, 2007; 103% after July 1, 2007;
102% after January 1, 2008; 101% after July 1, 2008, and 100% after January 1, 2009,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest.
Mandatory Prepayment. CanArgo shall offer to prepay all, but not less than all, of the
Note, on not less than 15 business days prior written notice, in the event of an occurrence
of a Change of Control or Control Event. Change in Control is defined to mean (a) if
CanArgo shall at any time cease to be a publicly held company or cease to have its capital
stock traded on an exchange or (b) a transaction or series of related transactions pursuant
to which (i) at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the outstanding shares of CanArgos common
stock or, on a fully diluted basis, shall subsequent to July 25, 2005 be owned by any person
which is not related to or affiliated with CanArgo, (ii) if CanArgo merges into or with,
consolidates with or effects any plan of share exchange or other combination with any person
which is not related to or affiliated with CanArgo, or (iii) if CanArgo disposes of all or
substantially all of its assets other than in the ordinary course of business and Control
Event is defined to mean (i) the execution by CanArgo or any material subsidiary of CanArgo
which has guaranteed the indebtedness evidenced by the Note (a CanArgo Group Member) of
any agreement or letter of intent with respect to any proposed transaction or event or
series of transactions or events which, individually or in the aggregate, may reasonably be
expected to result in a Change in Control, or (ii) the execution of any written agreement
which, when fully performed by the parties thereto, would result in a Change in Control.
Conversion.
The Note is convertible, at the option of holders, into shares of CanArgo common stock (Conversion
Stock) at a conversion price per share of $0.90 (the Conversion Price), which is subject
to adjustment: (a) if CanArgo issues any equity securities (other than pursuant to the
granting of employee stock options pursuant to shareholder approved employee stock option
plans or existing outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities) at a price per
share of less than $0.90 per share net of all fees, costs and expenses in which case the
Conversion Price will be reset to such lower price and (b) in connection with any stock
split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, combination,
merger, consolidation or any similar transaction, in which case the Conversion Price and
number of shares of Conversion Stock will be appropriately adjusted to reflect any such
event, such that the holders of the Note will receive upon conversion the identical number
of shares of common stock or other consideration or property to be received by the holders
of the common stock as if the holders had converted the Note immediately prior to any such
event as such amount would then be adjusted by reason of such stock split, stock dividend,
reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, merger, consolidation
or
25
other similar transaction. No fractional shares of common stock shall be issued upon any
conversion; instead the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted so that holders
shall receive the nearest whole number of shares upon any conversion.
In connection with the execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement, CanArgo
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which it agreed

The following is a discussion of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and
capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated annual
financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for
the year ended December 31, 2004 and subsequent amendments thereof filed on Forms 10-K/A in
addition to our condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements and the notes thereto,
included in Item 1 of this report.
Operationally, during the quarter, we continued to progress our exploration, appraisal and
development plans both in our core area of Georgia and on our more recently acquired assets in
Kazakhstan.
Georgia
On our Georgian assets, the focus has remained on our horizontal development drilling program on
our Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields, the appraisal drilling program on our Manavi oil discovery, and
exploration at Norio.
The planned development program for the Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields includes the drilling of up
to 15 horizontal well sections which will be mainly drilled as sidetracks from existing vertical
wells. It is planned that the horizontal component of these wells will be drilled under-balanced
through the Middle Eocene reservoir section using Under-Balanced Coiled Tubing Drilling (UBCTD)
technology. In June 2004, a contract was signed with WEUS Holding Inc., a subsidiary of
Weatherford International Ltd, (Weatherford) for supply of the UBCTD equipment and services.
Operations commenced on the N22H well on the Ninotsminda Field in December 2004, but were only
completed in March 2005 with a horizontal section only 23% of that intended. The delay in
completing this well and the failure to achieve the drilling objective was due to mechanical
problems with the UBCTD equipment. Nevertheless, the results obtained (higher gas flow rates than
previously observed on the field) tend to indicate that under-balanced technology will be
beneficial for production from this reservoir.
Subsequent operations by Weatherford on both the N100H2 and N49H wells also proved unsuccessful.
Progress was hampered by multiple failures of the downhole motors and the loss of bottom hole
assemblies in the wells. No horizontal section was drilled in either of these wells.
On July 21, 2005, we announced that Weatherford had given notice that it was demobilising its
equipment. Weatherford has now demobilised the equipment from the drilling site in preparation for
moving it out of Georgia.
We are currently in negotiations with other UBCTD equipment suppliers and hope to be in a position
to return to under-balanced drilling operations within the next three to six months. In the
meantime and in the interests of capitalizing on the current high oil price, we plan to drill up to two horizontal sidetrack wells
on the Ninotsminda
28
Field and possibly one well on the Samgori Field using jointed pipe and our own
drilling rig. A service contract has been signed with Baker Hughes for the provision of
directional equipment for use in the drilling of these wells. Four horizontal sections have
already been successfully drilled on the Ninotsminda Field using these techniques in the past. The
first of the planned horizontals will be a second horizontal well from the N100 location. This
part of the Ninotsminda reservoir has been shown to be very productive in the past, with the
original well, N100H1, testing at rates in excess of 2,200 barrels of oil per day and having
produced approximately 220,000 barrels.
On the Manavi M11Z sidetrack well to the original oil discovery, 5-inch casing has been run to a
depth of 13,143 feet (4,007 metres). The Saipem Ideco E-2100Az drilling rig (which is equipped
with a top-drive drilling system and is using a Baker-Hughes oil-based mud system) has successfully
drilled through the over-pressured swelling clays that had proven challenging in the past. The
Middle Eocene horizon (which came in high to prognosis and is the main reservoir in the Ninotsminda
and Samgori Fields) shows evidence of hydrocarbons being present. We now plan to drill ahead to a
total depth of 14,760 feet (4,500 metres) to fully test and evaluate the Middle Eocene and the
Cretaceous reservoir intervals using the Saipem rig and slim-hole drilling technology. The M11Z
well is expected to be tested during late August/early September and will be followed by the M12 appraisal
well, which will be drilled to the west of the M11 location. The drilling site is already prepared
and it is anticipated that the well will be spudded in October. Following this, we plan to drill
the M13 appraisal well (located to the east of M11) commencing in the first quarter 2006. Given a
successful test on M11Z, an early production system will be installed and test production will
commence from the well, this being both to achieve early revenue and to gather production data for
the full-field development.
On April 8, 2005 we announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, CanArgo Norio Limited, had reached
an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgian Oil to secure 100% of the contractor share
in the Norio (Block XIc) & North Kumisi Production Sharing Agreement (the Norio PSA).
The agreement included the payment to Georgian Oil of $1,758,000 to terminate the farm-in agreement
signed in September 2003. Georgian Oil had previously paid $1,758,000 of a $2,000,000 commitment
to complete the MK72 exploration well to earn a 15% interest in the contractor share of the Norio
PSA. The final documentation terminating the farm-in agreement was signed on May 6, 2005.
In late June, we recommenced drilling operations on the suspended MK72 well on the Norio PSA. The
well is targeting a potentially large prospect mapped at Middle Eocene level just to the north of
the Samgori Field. Operations are currently underway on the well which is currently in a highly
over-pressured section, and it is planned to drill towards the primary target which seismic data
suggests to be at a depth of approximately 15,747 feet (4,800 metres). Oil has already been
encountered in the well which penetrated approximately 985 feet (300 metres) of net sandstones in
the Oligocene secondary target, with oil being indicated by electric logs and with good oil and gas
shows while drilling.
Following agreement with the Georgian Government on the principles of a gas offtake agreement and
subject to concluding the agreement, we plan to drill an appraisal well to the West Rustavi R16
well, which flowed gas from the Cretaceous sequence at a depth of 12,792 feet (3,900 metres), close
to the interpreted gas-water contact. Seismic data acquired by us indicates that the structure
rises to the west and could contain a substantial volume of gas.
Subject to the finalisation of
the gas sales agreement, we hope to commence drilling the Kumisi 1 well in the fourth quarter 2005
depending on rig availability. Given success, the well will be tied into the Georgian gas system,
with further development drilling anticipated.
Kazakhstan
In September 2003, following discussions with Provincial Securities Limited (Provincial),
of which Russ Hammond (one of our non-executive directors) is Investment Manager, an
agreement was concluded whereby Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited (Tethys), a newly
formed company in which CanArgo would hold a 45% beneficial interest and in which Provincial
would hold a 45% beneficial interest, would acquire the Kazakhstan assets of Atlantic
Caspian Resources plc (ACR), a UK public company, for a 10% beneficial interest in Tethys.
Under the terms of the Agreement between ACR and Tethys, ACR warranted that it held an
interest in a Kazakh Limited Liability Partnership, BN-Munai LLP (BNM), which ACR claimed
in turn owned interests in the Akkulkovsky exploration area and the Kyzyloy Gas Field.
BNMs interest centred on the Akkulkovsky exploration area and the Kyzyloy Gas Field,
located in western Kazakhstan, just to the west of the Aral Sea. In the four years prior to
our ownership interest, BNM had drilled two deep exploration wells in the Akkulkovsky area,
which they plugged and abandoned. When Tethys examined in detail the claims of ACR it was
found that the Akkulkovsky exploration contract was in the process of being cancelled and
that no binding Production Contract existed for the Kyzyloy Field.
During the next period, with the assistance of Provincial, we secured an extension to the
Akkulkovsky Exploration Contract (until September 2005), signed an agreement in principle to
acquire the company which had won the tender for the much larger Greater Akkulkovsky
exploration area and in May 2005 the Kyzyloy Production Contract was signed by the Ministry
of Energy & Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan. CanArgo looked on these
events as a significant step forward in its activities in Kazakhstan.
On
June 7, 2005, CanArgo made an offer to acquire the 55% of the
common stock of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited
(Tethys) which
it did not own for consideration of 11,000,000 CanArgo common shares and on June 9, 2005
CanArgo issued its common shares. On completion of the acquisition, CanArgo held 100% of the common stock of TPI
and TPI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
CanArgo increased its interest in the Kazakhstan project primarily to exploit the
considerable upside which the Company sees in the Akkulkovsky area. In addition, the proved
reserves of the Kyzyloy Field should bring early cash flow providing a balanced portfolio of
exploration & development together with the companys established position and its ability
to seek further assets.
Tethys through its wholly owned subsidiary Tethys Kazakhstan Ltd (TKL) owns a 70% interest in BN
Munai LLP (BNM) a local Kazakh company whose interests center on the Akkulkovsky exploration
block, a 1,667
km2
(411,749 acres) area, and a shallow gas field, the Kyzyloy Gas Field,
located in the North Ustyurt basin in western Kazakhstan, just to the west of the Aral Sea. In
early May, 2005, a Production Contract was signed by the Kazakhstan Ministry of Energy and Natural
Resources and BNM relating to the Kyzyloy Gas Field. This is a
shallow gas field which is estimated to contain independently
assessed Proved Undeveloped natural gas reserves of 30 billion
cubic feet (0.85 billion cubic metres). Six suspended
29
gas wells at a depth of approximately 1,476 feet (450 metres) exist on the field with reported test
flow rates of up to 9.6 million standard cubic feet (271,000 cubic metres) of gas per day.
Our immediate plans include the development of the Kyzyloy Gas Field with first gas expected before
the end of the year, subject to finalisation of a gas sales agreement. Workover operations are now
underway on the first of the six wells in preparation for the development of the Kyzyloy Field
which is intended to be tied into the main Bukhara-Urals gas trunkline through a 37.5 mile (60 km)
pipeline. It is planned to produce gas from the field with an initial expected plateau rate of
17.7 million cubic feet (500,000 cubic metres) per day.
In our acreage surrounding the Kyzyloy Field, we have identified several shallow exploration
prospects which are analogous to the Kyzyloy structure. We have plans to drill five exploration
wells this year each with a target depth of approximately 1,970 feet (600 metres). The first of
these wells is now being drilled and we expect it to be completed by mid-August. Given success,
these prospects would be tied into the Kyzyloy export pipeline which is being designed with a
capacity of up to 78 million cubic feet (2.2 million cubic metres) of gas per day.
On the Akkulkovsky area, the existing seismic data is being reprocessed with the objective of
improving the resolution at depth in an attempt to firm up deeper prospects. We believe that these
prospects have potential to be similar to the reported large gas condensate fields just to the
south in Uzbekistan which lie along the same structural trend. Based on the results of the
interpretation of the reprocessed date, we may include a deep exploration well in our plans for
2006.
Work is continuing to finalise the acquisition of the exploration contract for the Greater
Akkulkovsky area, an area of approximately 10,000 km2 (10.9 million acres) surrounding
the Akkulkovsky block which we believe has substantial exploration potential. We have also
submitted an application for three further areas in the recent Kazakh licencing round.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2005 we had working capital of $11,241,000 compared to working capital of
$23,952,000 as of December 31, 2004.
Cash flows from our Georgian operations together with the proceeds of the private placement of a
$25,000,000 issue of Senior Convertible Secured Loan Notes with a small group of investors
(detailed above) means we have or should secure the working capital necessary to cover our
immediate and near term funding requirements with respect to our currently planned development
activities in the Republic of Georgia on our Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields and the appraisal of
our Manavi oil discovery, and our exploration and development plans in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
While a considerable amount of infrastructure for the Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields has already
been put in place, we cannot provide assurance that:
|
|
funding of a field development plan will be timely; |
|
|
|
that our development plan will be successfully completed or will increase production; or |
|
|
|
that field operating revenues after completion of the development plan will exceed operating costs. |
To pursue existing projects beyond our immediate appraisal and development plans and to pursue new
opportunities, we may require additional capital. While expected to be substantial, without
further exploration work and evaluation the exact amount of funds needed to fully develop all of
our oil and gas properties cannot at present, be quantified. Potential sources of funds include
additional sales of equity securities, project financing, debt financing and the participation of
other oil and gas entities in our projects. Based on our past history of raising capital and
continuing discussions, we believe that such required funds may be available. However, there is no
assurance that such funds will be available, and if available, will be offered on attractive or
acceptable terms. Should such funding not be forthcoming, we may not be able to pursue projects
beyond our current appraisal and development plans or to pursue new opportunities.
Under the terms of the Senior Convertible Secured Loan Notes we are restricted from
incurring future indebtedness and from issuing additional senior or pari passu indebtedness,
except with the prior consent of the Required Holders or in limited permitted circumstances.
The definition of indebtedness encompasses all customary forms of indebtedness including,
without limitation, liabilities for the deferred consideration, liabilities for borrowed
money secured by any lien or other specified security interest, liabilities in respect of
letters of credit or similar instruments (excluding letters of credit which are 100% cash
collateralised) and guarantees in relation to such forms of indebtedness (excluding parent
company guarantees provided by the Company in respect of the indebtedness or obligations of
any of the Companys subsidiaries under its Basic Documents (as defined in the Note Purchase
Agreement)). Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, permitted future
indebtedness is (a) indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Convertible Secured Loan
Notes; (b) any additional unsecured indebtedness, the aggregate amount outstanding
thereunder at any time not exceeding $1,250,000 and; (c) certain unsecured intra-group
indebtedness (in the case of indebtedness of a CanArgo Group Member (as defined in the Note
Purchase Agreement) to a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company which is not deemed to
be a Material Subsidiary under the Note Purchase Agreement the aggregate amount outstanding
under the particular indebtedness shall not exceed $1,000,000 at any time).
30
Development of the oil and gas properties and ventures in which we have interests involves
multi-year efforts and substantial cash expenditures. While funding is available to us to pursue
our current appraisal and development plans, full development of our oil and gas properties and
ventures may require the availability of substantial additional financing from external sources.
We may also, where opportunities exist, seek to transfer portions of our interests in oil and gas
properties and ventures to entities in exchange for such financing. We generally have the
principal responsibility for arranging financing for the oil and gas properties and ventures in
which we have an interest. There can be no assurance, however, that we or the entities that are
developing the oil and gas properties and ventures will be able to arrange the financing necessary
to develop the projects being undertaken or to support the corporate and other activities of
CanArgo. There can also be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms that are
attractive or acceptable to or are deemed to be in the best interest of CanArgo, such entities and
their respective stockholders or participants.
Ultimate realization of the carrying value of our oil and gas properties and ventures will require
production of oil and gas in sufficient quantities and marketing such oil and gas at sufficient
prices to provide positive cash flow to CanArgo. Establishment of successful oil and gas
operations is dependent upon, among other factors, the following:
|
|
mobilization of equipment and personnel to implement effectively drilling, completion and production activities; |
|
|
raising of additional capital; |
|
|
achieving significant production at costs that provide acceptable margins; |
|
|
reasonable levels of taxation, or economic arrangements in lieu of taxation in host countries; and |
|
|
the ability to market the oil and gas produced at or near world prices. |
Subject to our ability to raise additional capital, above, we have plans to mobilize resources and
achieve levels of production and profits sufficient to recover the carrying value of our oil and
gas properties and ventures. However, if one or more of the above factors, or other factors, are
different than anticipated, these plans may not be realized, and we may not recover the carrying
value of our oil and gas properties and ventures.
Balance Sheet Changes
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5,806,000 from $24,617,000 at December 31, 2004 to
$18,811,000 at June 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to expenditures in the period
to fund the cost of preparing wells for our horizontal development program at the
Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields, the appraisal of our Manavi oil discovery in Georgia,
activities in Kazakhstan and net cash used by operating activities. This has been partially
offset by cash received pursuant to the takedowns under the SEDA and the $15,000,000
Promissory Note received from Cornell.
Restricted cash increased to $5,300,000 at June 30, 2005 from $1,400,000 at December 31,
2004 due to the funding of a certificate of deposit to secure the issuance of a letter of
credit as required under the rig rental and drilling contract we entered into with Saipem,
S.p.A.
Accounts receivable decreased from $2,526,000 at December 31, 2004 to $1,613,000 at June 30, 2005
primarily due to the receipt of $800,000 from our insurers in relation to N100 blow out costs and
timing issues related to sales of crude oil at month end.
Inventory increased from $254,000 at December 31, 2004 to $692,000 at June 30, 2005 due to the
accumulation of larger batches of oil for export sales.
Prepayments increased from $1,518,000 at December 31, 2004 to $2,972,000 at June 30, 2005
as a result of an increase in prepayments for materials and services related to our
appraisal activities at the Manavi oil discovery, our horizontal well development program
at the Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields and our Kazakhstan activities. Upon receipt of the
materials and services, those amounts will be transferred to capital assets. This increase
is included in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity.
Assets held for sale of $600,000 at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consist of a
3-megawatt duel fuel power generator.
31
Other current assets increased from $122,000 at December 31, 2004 to $156,000 at June 30, 2005.
Capital assets net, increased to $100,007,000 at June 30, 2005 from $72,996,000 at December 31,
2004, due to investing in capital assets including oil and gas properties and equipment,
principally related to the Ninotsminda Production Sharing Contract and the acquisition of Tethys
Petroleum Investments Limited and its 70% interest in the Kazakhstan based company BN Munai LLP.
Prepaid financing fees decreased to $550,000 at June 30, 2005 from $649,000 at December 31, 2004
due to the offset of commissions and professional fees, relating to the SEDA with Cornell Capital,
against capital proceeds in excess of par value, partially offset by the fees charges by Cornell
Capital in connection with the $15,000,000 Promissory Note.
Investments in and advances to oil and gas and other ventures of $479,000 at December 31, 2004
represented advances to our oil and gas interests in Kazakhstan partially offset by the impairment
of our investment in the project as a result of losses incurred. We now own 70% of the Kazakhstan
project, through our ownership of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited, and our investment is
reflected in capital assets as at June 30, 2005.
Accounts payable decreased to $2,045,000 at June 30, 2005 from $2,332,000 at December 31, 2004
primarily due to increased payments to suppliers in respect of preparing wells for our horizontal
development program at the Ninotsminda Field in Georgia.
Loans payable increased to $10,200,000 at June 30, 2005 from $1,500,000 at December 31, 2004 due to
the new Cornell Capital Promissory Note of $15,000,000 issued in April 2005, partially offset by
making repayments through a series of takedowns in May and June under the SEDA. The $1,500,000 loan
at December 31, 2004 was repaid by a series of takedowns in February and March 2005 under the SEDA.
Other liabilities decreased to $759,000 at June 30, 2005 from $3,081,000 at December 31, 2004
primarily due to the repayment in full of an oil sales security deposit in the amount of
$2,300,000.
Accrued liabilities increased from $172,000 at December 31, 2004 to $5,898,000 at June 30, 2005 due
primarily to accrued contractor invoices in connection with our Georgian operations of which
approximately $2,800,000 relates to the disputed Weatherford invoices referred to in Note 13 of
these financial statements.
Long term debt increased to $898,000 at June 30, 2005 from $832,000 at December 31, 2004 due to
amortization of debt discount related to the $1,050,000 convertible loan facility convertible into
common stock with detachable warrants to purchase 2,000,000 common shares. In accordance with EITF
00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, a portion of the proceeds
of debt is accounted for as a discount to the face amount of the notes and is based on the relative
fair value of the loans and the warrant securities and conversion stock at the time of issuance.
At June 30, 2005 the unamortized discount amounted to $152,000.
Provision for future site restoration increased to $732,000 at June 30, 2004 from $422,000 at
December 31, 2005 primarily due to provisions for future site restoration in Kazakhstan as a result
of the acquisition of new oil and gas properties.
Deferred compensation expense decreased to $1,833,000 at June 30, 2005 from $1,976,102 at December
31, 2004 due to share options issue expensed during the period.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Terms
Our principal business and assets are derived from production sharing contracts and agreements
(PSCs) in the Republic of Georgia and to a lesser extent, in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The
legislative and procedural regimes governing PSCs and mineral use licenses in Georgia have
undergone a series of changes in recent years resulting in certain legal uncertainties.
Our PSCs and mineral use licenses, entered into prior to the introduction in 1999 of a new
Petroleum Law governing such agreements have not, as yet, been amended to reflect or ensure
compliance with current legislation. As a result,
32
despite references in the current legislation grandfathering the terms and conditions of our PSCs,
conflicts between the interpretation of our PSCs and mineral use licenses and current legislation
could arise. Such conflicts, if they arose, could cause an adverse effect on our rights under the
PSCs. However the Norio PSA, the Tbilisi PSC and the Samgori PSC were concluded after enactment of
the Petroleum Law, and under the terms and conditions of this legislation.
To confirm that the Ninotsminda Production Sharing Contract (the Ninotsminda PSC) and the mineral
usage license issued prior to the introduction in 1999 of the Petroleum Law were validly issued, in
connection with its preparation of the Convertible Loan Agreement with us, the International
Finance Corporation, an affiliate of the World Bank received in November 1998 confirmation from the
State of Georgia, that among other things:
|
|
The State of Georgia recognizes and confirms the validity and
enforceability of the Ninotsminda PSC and the license and all
undertakings the State has covenanted with Ninotsminda Oil Company
Limited (NOC) thereunder; |
|

the license was duly authorized and executed by the State at the
time of its issuance and remained in full force and effect
throughout its term; and |
|
|
the license constitutes a valid and duly authorized grant by the
State, being and remaining in full force and effect as of the
signing of this confirmation and the benefits of the license fully
extend to NOC by virtue of its interest in the license holder and
the contractual rights under the Ninotsminda PSC. |
Despite this confirmation and the grandfathering of the terms of existing PSCs in the Petroleum
Law, subsequent legislative or other governmental changes could conflict with, challenge our rights
or otherwise change current operations under the Ninotsminda PSC. No challenge has been made to
date.
In 2002, the Participation Agreement for the three well exploration program on the Ninotsminda /
Manavi area with a subsidiary of the US power company AES was terminated without AES earning any
rights to any of the Ninotsminda / Manavi area reservoirs. The Company therefore has no present
obligations in respect of AES. However, under a separate Letter of Agreement, if gas from the sub
Middle Eocene is discovered and produced from the area covered by the Participation Agreement, AES
will be entitled to recover at the rate of 15% of future gas sales from the Sub Middle Eocene, net
of operating costs, approximately $7,500,000, representing their prior funding under the
Participation Agreement.
Under the Production Sharing Contract for Blocks XIG and XIH (the Tbilisi
PSC) in the Republic of Georgia our subsidiary CNL will evaluate existing seismic and geological
data during the first year and acquire additional seismic data within three years of the effective
date of the Agreement which is September 29, 2003. The total commitment over the next thirteen
months is $350,000.
In April 2004, we acquired a 50% interest in the Samgori (Block XIB) Production Sharing
Contract (Samgori PSC) in Georgia. This interest was acquired from Georgian Oil Samgori Limited
(GOSL), a company wholly owned by Georgian Oil, by one of our subsidiaries, CanArgo Samgori
Limited (CSL). Under the terms of the agreement dated January 8, 2004, it is planned that up to
10 horizontal wells will be drilled on the Samgori Field. Completion of well S302, which was
funded 100% by us, satisfied our commitment to GOSL under the acquisition agreement. It is planned
that the remainder of the drilling program will be funded jointly by CSL and GOSL, the Contractor
parties, pro rata to their interest in the Samgori PSC. The total cost to us of participating in
the whole program, which is due to be completed by June 2008, is anticipated to be up to
$13,500,000.
The original Contractor party to the Samgori PSC, National Petroleum Limited (NPL), has an option
to reacquire its Contractors interest in the Samgori PSC and its 50% interest in the operating
company in the event that the agreed work program is not completed in part by September 2006 and in
full by June 2008. Furthermore, NPL has outstanding costs and expenses of $37,528,964 in relation
to the Samgori PSC which are recoverable by NPL receiving 30% of annual net profit from the Field
until such costs have been fully repaid. Under the Samgori PSC, up to 50% of petroleum produced
under the contract is allocated to the Contractor parties for the recovery of the cumulative
allowable capital, operating and other project costs associated with the Samgori Field and
exploration in Block XIB (Cost Recovery Oil). The cost recovery pool includes the
$37,528,964 costs previously incurred by NPL. The balance of production (Profit Oil) is
allocated on a 50/50 basis between the State and the Contractor parties respectively. While GOSL
and CSL continue to have unrecovered costs, they will receive 75% of total
33
production (net 37.5% to us). After recovery of their cumulative capital, operating and other
allowable project costs including the NPL costs, the Contractor parties will receive 30% of Profit
Oil (net 15% to us). The allocation of a share of production to the State, however, relieves the
Contractor parties of all obligations they would otherwise have to pay the Republic of Georgia for
taxes, duties and levies related to activities covered by the Samgori PSC. After NPLs costs are
repaid from either Field production or other production in the PSC (in the event that new fields
are developed in areas identified using seismic surveys originally performed by NPL), NPL shall
continue to receive 5% of annual net profit.
Under the Samgori PSC, Georgian Oil as the State representative in the contract is entitled to
receive up to 250,000 tons (approximately 1.6 million barrels) of oil (Base Level Oil) from a
maximum of 50% per calendar quarter of production when the value of the cumulative Cost Recovery
Oil, cumulative Cost Recovery Natural Gas, cumulative Profit Oil and cumulative Profit Natural Gas
delivered to the Contractor parties exceeds the cumulative allowable capital, operating and other
project costs including finance costs associated with the Samgori Field and exploration in Block
XIB and the NPL costs. While Base Level Oil is being delivered to Georgian Oil, the
Contractor parties will continue to be entitled to a maximum of 50% of the remaining Profit Oil.
The Base Level Oil is an estimate of the amount of oil that Georgian Oil would have expected to
produce from the contract area had the State not come to a contractual arrangement with the
previous Contractor party in 1996.
We have contingent obligations and may incur additional obligations, absolute or contingent, with
respect to the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties and ventures in which we have
interests that require or may require us to expend funds and to issue shares of our Common Stock.
Upon completion of the acquisition of an interest in the Samgori PSC we had a contractual
obligation to issue four million shares of CanArgo Common Stock to Europa Oil Services Limited
(Europa), an unaffiliated company in connection with a consultancy agreement with Europa in
relation to this acquisition. On April 16, 2004 Europa was issued with four million restricted
shares of CanArgo Common Stock in an arms length transaction. A further 12 million shares of
CanArgo Common Stock are issuable upon certain production targets being met from future
developments under the Samgori PSC.
At June 30, 2005, we had a contingent obligation to issue 187,500 shares of common stock to Fielden
Management Services PTY, Ltd (a third party management services company) upon satisfaction of
conditions relating to the achievement of specified Stynawske Field project performance standards,
an oil field in Ukraine in which we had a previous interest.
In September 2004, a blow-out occurred at the N100 well on the Ninotsminda Field. The Company
currently estimates that the total costs attributable to the blow out, including compensation and
cleaning of the environment will be approximately $2,000,000.
Results of Continuing Operations
Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2004
We recorded operating revenue from continuing operations of $2,566,000 during the six month period
ended June 30, 2005 compared with $5,439,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The
decrease is attributable to lower oil and gas revenues being recorded in the six month period ended
June 30, 2005 due to lower production levels relating to a delay in the UBCTD program on both the
Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields. Ninotsminda Oil Company Limited (NOC) and CanArgo Samgori Limited
(CSL) sold 66,427 barrels of oil for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to 233,157
barrels of oil for the six month period ended June 30, 2004.
NOC generated $1,350,000 of oil and gas revenue in the six month period ended June 30, 2005
compared with $5,137,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to a lower
production achieved in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six month period
ended June 30, 2004 offset partially by a higher average net sales price achieved in the six month
period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2004. Its net share of
the 95,027 barrels (525 barrels per day) of gross oil production for sale from the Ninotsminda
Field in the period amounted to 61,767 barrels. In the period, 23,087 barrels of oil were
34
added to storage. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, NOCs net share of the 243,879
barrels (1,430 barrels per day) of gross oil production was 158,552 barrels.
CSL generated $1,216,000 of oil and gas revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2005
compared to $302,000 from the April 2004 purchase date to June 30, 2004. Its net share of 89,848
barrels (491 barrels per day) of gross oil production for sale from the Samgori Field in the period
amounted to 33,693 barrels. As at June 30, 2005, 10,979 barrels of oil remained in storage.
NOC and CSLs entire share of production was either sold locally in Georgia under both national and
international contracts or added to storage. Net sale prices for Ninotsminda and Samgori oil sold
during the first six months of 2005 averaged $38.88 per barrel as compared with an average of
$23.19 per barrel in the first six months of 2004. Its net share of the 89,300 thousand cubic feet
(mcf) of gas delivered was 46,307 mcf at an average net sale price of $0.53 per mcf of gas. For the
six month period ended June 30, 2004, NOCs net share of the 38,640 mcf of gas delivered was 25,116
mcf at an average net sales price of $1.40 per mcf of gas.
The operating loss from continuing operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 amounted
to $4,416,000 compared with an operating loss of $18,000 for the six month period ended June 30,
2004. The increase in operating loss is attributable to increased direct project costs, increased
selling, general and administration costs, increased non cash stock compensation expense, reduced
oil and gas revenue and a gain generated from the disposal of GAOR in the six month period ended
June 30, 2004, partially offset by a reduced depreciation, depletion and amortization in the
period.
Field operating expenses decreased to $969,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 as
compared to $1,233,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is primarily a
result of a decrease in production at the Ninotsminda Field during the period. The reduction in
production at the Ninotsminda Field was a result of the Company continuing to focus on the
long-term development of its producing assets in Georgia through the preparation of wells for the
Under Balanced Coiled Tubing Drilling (UBCTD) technology program together with a delay in
implementing the program itself due to mechanical difficulties with the equipment. The preparation
work for the UBCTD program necessitated the shut in of producing wells during the period thus
resulting in a lower average production for the period. We have not had a corresponding decrease in
our operating cost as the majority of our operating costs are fixed.
Direct project costs increased to $781,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, from
$627,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, primarily due to costs directly associated
with non operating activity at the Ninotsminda Field and the inclusion of Samgori project cost
expenditures resulting from the acquisition of the Samgori (Block XIB) Production
Sharing Contract in Georgia.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $3,359,000 for the six month period ended
June 30, 2005 from $2,125,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The increase is a
result of additional costs incurred in respect of compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, increased audit fees, higher insurance premiums and a general increase in corporate
activity.
Non cash stock compensation of $842,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 relates to the
Company, effective January 1, 2003, adopting in August 2003, the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, prospectively to all employee awards
granted, modified, or settled after December 31, 2002.
The decrease in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense to $1,031,000 for the six month
period ended June 30, 2005 from $1,807,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 is
attributable principally to lower production and sales from the Ninotsminda Field for the six month
period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2004.
The gain on disposal of subsidiaries of $335,000 recorded for the six month period ended June 30,
2004 reflects a gain from the disposal of our interest in the Georgian American Oil Refinery,
partially offset by a loss from the disposal of our interest in the Bugruvativske Field through the
disposal of Lateral Vector Resources Inc.
35
The decrease in other expense to $314,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, from
$356,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004.is primarily a result of higher interest
income as a result placing surplus cash on term deposits until needed, equity loss from
investments, partially offset by increased levels of bad debts and foreign exchange losses.
Equity loss from investments for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 of $155,000 relates to
the loss incurred on the project in Kazakhstan to the date of the acquisition of 100% ownership in
Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited.
The loss from continuing operations of $4,730,000 or $0.02 per share for the six month period ended
June 30, 2005 compares to a net loss from continuing operations of $373,000 or $0.00 per share for
the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding
was higher during the six month period ended June 30, 2005 than during the six month period ended
June 30, 2004, principally due to the issue of shares in respect of the Samgori purchase in April
2004, the issue of shares in respect of a global offering in September 2004, the issue of shares in
respect of the Norio minority interest buyout in September 2004, the issue of shares under the
terms of the SEDA in 2005 to repay the Cornell Capital promissory notes and in connection with
additional takedowns under the SEDA, the exercise of share options in 2005 and the issue of shares
in respect of the Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited buyout.
Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2004
In April 2004, we announced that we had completed our acquisition of a 50% interest in the Samgori
(Block XIB) Production Sharing Contract in Georgia.
We recorded operating revenue from continuing operations of $1,233,000 during the three month
period ended June 30, 2005 compared with $2,079,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004.
The decrease is attributable to lower oil and gas revenues being recorded in the three month
period ended June 30, 2005 due to lower production levels relating to a delay in the UBCTD program
on both the Ninotsminda and Samgori Fields. Ninotsminda Oil Company Limited (NOC) and CanArgo
Samgori Limited (CSL) sold 28,837 barrels of oil for the three month period ended June 30, 2005
compared to 96,033 barrels of oil for the three month period ended June 30, 2004.
NOC generated $742,000 of oil and gas revenue in the three month period ended June 30, 2005
compared with $1,777,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to a lower
production achieved in the three month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three month
period ended June 30, 2004 offset partially by a higher average net sales price achieved in the
three month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2004. Its
net share of the 50,481 barrels (555 barrels per day) of gross oil production for sale from the
Ninotsminda Field in the period amounted to 32,813 barrels. In the period, 14,523 barrels of oil
were added to storage. For the three month period ended June 30, 2004, NOCs net share of the
95,208 barrels (1,046 barrels per day) of gross oil production was 61,885 barrels.
CSL generated $491,000 of oil and gas revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2005
compared to $302,000 from the April 2004 purchase date to June 30, 2004. Its net share of 43,270
barrels (475 barrels per day) of gross oil production for sale from the Samgori Field in the period
amounted to 16,226 barrels. As at June 30, 2005, 10,979 barrels of oil remained in storage. From
the purchase date to June 30, 2004, CSLs net share of the 49,008 barrels (645 barrels per day) of
gross oil production was 18,378 barrels.
NOC and CSLs entire share of production was either sold locally in Georgia under both national and
international contracts or added to storage. Net sale prices for Ninotsminda and Samgori oil sold
during the second quarter of 2005 averaged $42.01 per barrel as compared with an average of $24.71
per barrel in the second quarter of 2004. Its net share of the 85,037 thousand cubic feet (mcf) of
gas delivered was 43,535 mcf at an average net sale price of $0.49 per mcf of gas. For the three
month period ended June 30, 2004, NOCs net share of the 19,796 mcf of gas delivered was 12,867 mcf
at an average net sales price of $1.41 per mcf of gas.
The operating loss from continuing operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2005
amounted to $2,209,000 compared with an operating loss of $993,000 for the three month period ended
June 30, 2004. The increase in operating loss is attributable to increased direct project costs,
increased selling, general and
36
administration costs, increased non cash stock compensation expense, reduced oil and gas revenue,
partially offset by reduced depreciation, depletion and amortization in the period.
Field operating expenses decreased to $470,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 as
compared to $565,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is primarily a
result of a decrease in production at the Ninotsminda Field during the period. The reduction in
production at the Ninotsminda Field was a result of the Company continuing to focus on the
long-term development of its producing assets in Georgia through the preparation of wells for the
Under Balanced Coiled Tubing Drilling (UBCTD) technology program together with a delay in
implementing the program itself due to mechanical difficulties with the equipment. The preparation
work for the UBCTD program necessitated the shut in of producing wells during the period thus
resulting in a lower average production for the period. We have not had a corresponding decrease in
our operating cost as the majority of our operating costs are fixed.
Direct project costs increased to $412,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005, from
$347,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004, primarily due to costs directly associated
with non operating activity at the Ninotsminda Field.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $1,530,000 for the three month period ended
June 30, 2005 from $1,214,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004. The increase is a
result of additional costs incurred in respect of compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, increased audit fees, higher insurance premiums and a general increase in corporate
activity.
Non cash stock compensation of $510,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 relates to
the Company, effective January 1, 2003, adopting in August 2003, the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, prospectively to all
employee awards granted, modified, or settled after December 31, 2002.
The decrease in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense to $519,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 2005 from $926,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 is
attributable principally to lower production and sales from the Ninotsminda Field for the three
month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2004.
The loss on disposal of subsidiaries of $20,000 recorded for the three month period ended June 30,
2004 reflects a loss from the disposal of our interest in the Bugruvativske Field through the
disposal of Lateral Vector Resources Inc.
The decrease in other expense to $47,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005, from
$412,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 is primarily a result of higher interest
income as a result placing surplus cash on term deposits until needed, equity loss from
investments, partially offset by increased levels of bad debts and foreign exchange losses.
Equity loss from investments for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 of $62,000 relates to
the second quarter loss incurred on the project in Kazakhstan to the date of the acquisition of
100% ownership in Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited.
The loss from continuing operations of $2,256,000 or $0.01 per share for the three month period
ended June 30, 2005 compares to a net loss from continuing operations of $1,405,000 or $0.01 per
share for the three month period ended June 30, 2004. The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding was higher during the three month period ended June 30, 2005 than during the three
month period ended June 30, 2004, principally due to the issue of shares in respect of the Samgori
purchase in April 2004, the issue of shares in respect of a global offering in September 2004, the
issue of shares in respect of the Norio minority interest buyout in September 2004, the issue of
shares under the terms of the SEDA in 2005 to repay the Cornell Capital promissory notes and in
connection with additional takedowns under the SEDA, the exercise of share options in 2005 and the
issue of shares in respect of the Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited buyout.

Results of Discontinued Operations
Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2004
The net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes and minority interest for the six month
period ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $447,000 resulting from our refinery operation where the
plan to dispose of the asset led to the write-off of an inter-company payable relating to oil sales
purchased from Ninotsminda Oil Company Limited. All discontinued operations had been disposed by
December 31, 2004.
Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2004
The net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes and minority interest for the three month
period ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $44,000 resulting from our refinery operation where the plan
to dispose of the asset led to the write-off of an inter-company payable relating to oil sales
purchased from Ninotsminda Oil Company Limited. All discontinued operations had been disposed by
December 31, 2004.
Forward-Looking Statements
The forward-looking statements contained in this Item 2 and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are subject
to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Included among the
important risks, uncertainties and other factors are those hereinafter discussed.
Operating entities in various foreign jurisdictions must be registered by governmental agencies,
and production licenses for development of oil and gas fields in various foreign jurisdictions must
be granted by governmental agencies. These governmental agencies generally have broad discretion
in determining whether to take or approve various actions and matters. In addition, the policies
and practices of governmental agencies may be affected or altered by political, economic and other
events occurring either within their own countries or in a broader international context.
We may not have a majority of the equity that is the licence developer of some projects that we may
pursue in countries that were a part of the former Soviet Union, even though we may be the
designated operator of the oil or gas field. In such circumstances, the concurrence of co-venturers
may be required for various actions. Other parties influencing the timing of events may have
priorities that differ from ours, even if they generally share our objectives. Demands by or
expectations of governments, co-venturers, customers and others may affect our strategy regarding
the various projects. Failure to meet such demands or expectations could adversely affect our
participation in such projects or our ability to obtain or maintain necessary licenses and other
approvals.
Our ability to finance all of our present oil and gas projects and other ventures according to
present plans is dependent upon obtaining additional funding. An inability to obtain financing
could require us to scale back or abandon part or all of our project development, capital
expenditure, production and other plans. The availability of equity or debt financing to us or to
the entities that are developing projects in which we have interests is affected by many factors,
including:
|
|
world economic conditions; |
|
|
|
the state of international relations; |
|
|
|
the stability and policies of various governments located in areas in which we
currently operate or intend to operate; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in the price of oil and gas, the outlook for the oil and gas industry
and competition for available funds; and |
|
|
|
an evaluation of us and specific projects in which we have an interest. |
Rising interest rates might affect the feasibility of debt financing that is offered. Potential
investors and lenders will be influenced by their evaluations of us and our projects and
comparisons with alternative investment opportunities.
38
The development of oil and gas properties is subject to substantial risks. Expectations regarding
production, even if estimated by independent petroleum engineers, may prove to be unrealized.
There are many uncertainties in estimating production quantities and in projecting future
production rates and the timing and amount of future development expenditures. Estimates of
properties in full production are more reliable than production estimates for new discoveries and
other properties that are not fully productive. Accordingly, estimates related to our properties
are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
Most of our interests in oil and gas properties and ventures are located in former Soviet Union
countries. Operations in those countries are subject to certain additional risks including the
following:
|
|
uncertainty as to the enforceability of contracts; |
|
|
currency convertibility and transferability; |
|
|
unexpected changes in fiscal and tax policies; |
|
|
sudden or unexpected changes in demand for crude oil and or natural gas; |
|
|
the lack of trained personnel; and |
|
|
the lack of equipment and services and other factors that could significantly change the economics of production. |
Production estimates are subject to revision as prices and costs change. Production, even if
present, may not be recoverable in the amount and at the rate anticipated and may not be
recoverable in commercial quantities or on an economically feasible basis. World and local prices
for oil and gas can fluctuate significantly, and a reduction in the revenue realizable from the
sale of production can affect the economic feasibility of an oil and gas project. World and local
political, economic and other conditions could affect our ability to proceed with or to effectively
operate projects in various foreign countries.
Demands by, or expectations of governments, co-venturers, customers and others may affect our
strategy regarding the various projects. Failure to meet such demands or expectations could
adversely affect our participation in such projects or our ability to obtain or maintain necessary
licenses and other approvals.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our principal exposure to market risk is due to changes in oil and gas prices and currency
fluctuations. As indicated elsewhere in this Report, as a producer of oil and gas we are exposed
to changes in oil and gas prices as well as changes in supply and demand which could affect its
revenues. We do not engage in any commodity hedging activities. Due to the ready market for our
production in the Republic of Georgia, we do not believe that any current exposures from this risk
will materially affect our financial position at this time, but there can be no assurance that
changes in such market will not affect CanArgo adversely in the future.
Also, as indicated elsewhere in this Report, because all of our operations are being conducted in
countries that were a part of the former Soviet Union, we are potentially exposed to the market
risk of fluctuations in the relative values of the currencies in areas in which we operates. At
present we do not engage in any currency hedging operations since, to the extent we receive
payments for our production in local currencies, we are utilizing such currencies to pay for our
local operations. In addition, we frequently sell our production from the Ninotsminda Field and
more recently from the Samgori Field in the Republic of Georgia under export contracts which
provide for payment in US dollars.
CanArgo had no material interest in investments subject to market risk during the period covered by
this report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in the Companys reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that the
39
Companys employees accumulate this information and communicate it to the Companys management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding the required disclosure.
As a result of our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the
rules issued thereunder, we reported in our Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 2, 2005 that we had identified a number of deficiencies that were symptomatic of
and contributed to the overall material weakness relating to our financial statement close process
identified in our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2004. We also identified a material weakness relating to sufficient controls
being in place to ensure adequate review of the application of generally accepted accounting
principles relating to non-routine transactions, estimates and financial statement disclosures.
Although as of June 30, 2005 these material weaknesses have not been fully remediated, we have been
actively remedying the deficiencies described above, and have taken a number of appropriate
remediation actions. The remediation efforts to date have generally involved the addition of staff,
improvement in accounting and reporting processes and related controls and the appointment and
training of dedicated controls personnel to remedy a number of the above deficiencies relating to
the financial statement close process. Our remediation efforts represent a long-term commitment to
continually evaluate and improve our financial statement closing process and our ability to
properly apply generally accepted accounting principles relating to non-routine transactions,
estimates and financial statement disclosures, in an effort to reduce to a minimal level the risk
that a material error in our financial statements could occur. Other than this ongoing remediation
effort there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
