NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2005, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, and 2004.
The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in connection with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2004.
2.
Certain accounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.
3.
We assess performance and allocate resources based upon our products and services, which consist principally of: A) oil and gas exploration, development and production; B) mining and processing of leonardite; and C) oil and gas drilling. All operations are conducted within the United States. Sales and other material transactions between the segments have been eliminated. Certain corporate costs, assets and capital expenditures that are considered to benefit the entire organization are not allocated to our operating segments. Interest income, interest expense and income taxes are also not allocated to operating segments. There are no significant accounting differences between internal segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.
Presented below are our identifiable net assets as of the date indicated:
| | June 30, 2005 | | December 31, 2004 |
Oil and gas | $ 9,500,729 | $ 9,237,435 |

4.
Our leonardite processing facility was damaged in a fire on May 17, 2005 and has not operated since that date. Our insurance carrier has determined the scope of damage and we have recognized an insurance claim receivable of $735,000. We have also recorded a $498,000 gain consisting of the insurance claim receivable less the net book value of the facility at the time of the fire and less direct costs incurred because of the fire. We are exploring strategic alternatives for our leonardite operating segment. If a decision is reached to restore the facility and resume operations, we have been informed by our insurance carrier that we will receive an additional amount of approximately $640,000 for the replacement cost of the repair and restoration.
Our mining of leonardite raw material has not been affected by the fire; however, other assets undamaged by the fire are temporarily idle pending either the resumption of operations at the processing facility, the employment of those assets in an alternative use, or their sale or other disposition. The net book value of temporarily idle assets as of June 30, 2005 is $192,115.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and other sections of this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the oil, gas and leonardite industry, the economy and about us. Words such as "may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue,” or comparable words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, our actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in our forw ard-looking statements. Furthermore, we undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in production volumes; worldwide supply and demand which affect commodity prices for oil; the timing and extent of our success in discovering, acquiring, developing and producing oil, natural gas and leonardite reserves; risks inherent in the drilling and operation of oil and natural gas wells and the mining and processing of leonardite products; future production and development costs; the effect of existing and future laws, governmental regulations and the political and economic climate of the United States; and conditions in the capital markets.
We caution the reader that a number of important factors discussed herein, and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2004, could affect our actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements.
Results of Operations - Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005, compared to Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Information concerning our oil and gas operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, is set forth in the table below:
Oil and Gas Operations |
| | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 | | % Increase (Decrease) from 2004 Period | | Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 | | % Increase (Decrease) from 2004 Period |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Oil and gas production sold (BOE) | 29,323 | | (5%) | | 55,842 | | (7%) |
| | | | | | | |
Average price per BOE | $ 44.90 | | 35% | | $ 44.32 | | 39% |
| | | | | | | |
Oil and gas revenue | $ 1,316,713 | | 29% | | $ 2,475,161 | | 29% |
| | | | | | | |
Production costs | $ 507,258 | | 26% | | $ 944,042 | | 9% |
| | | | | | | |
Average production cost per BOE | $ 17.30 | | 32% | | $ 16.91 | | 17% |
| | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | |
Operating income | $ 664,906 | | 38% | | $ 1,259,204 | | 59% |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Oil and gas production sold during the second quarter of 2005 declined by 1,650 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), or 5%, compared to the same quarter in 2004, and decreased by 4,200 BOE, or 7%, for the first half of 2005 compared to that same period in 2004. These declines in BOE were the result of normal production declines and the lack of new production to offset these declines. Our Landa West Madison Unit initiated water injection this quarter, but the waterflood production results will not be recognized immediately. However, we believe the unitization and water injection program will eventually increase both reserves and production from that field. During the second quarter we also participated with our 10% non-operated interest in the horizontal re-entry of an 8,100-foot exploratory well drilled in Mountrail County during 2004. This horizontal lateral was completed in June 2005. Subsequent to t he end of the second quarter, surface production equipment and electricity were being installed with production anticipated in August 2005. Our interest in this well is not substantial but the prospect partners expect it to be an economic well. In addition, we have been performing remedial work and work-over projects that we expect will continue in 2005. We also plan to drill two gross (two net) wells by the end of the year in order to stem our production declines. These wells include one exploratory well and one development well.
Although sales volumes were lower, we received substantially higher average oil value per BOE that enabled oil and gas revenue to increase $296,000, or 29%, for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and increase $558,000, or 29%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004. These significantly improved revenues were entirely due to substantially elevated oil and gas prices. Second quarter prices per BOE were 35%, or $11.60, higher, and first half 2005 BOE values were 39%, or $12.37, above those for the same periods in 2004.
Second quarter 2005 oil and gas production costs increased from the prior year, rising $104,000, or 26%. First half 2005 costs were higher by $80,000, or 9%. The increase in production costs was primarily due to higher severance taxes that vary directly with production revenue. Production costs on a per-equivalent-barrel basis for the second quarter of 2005 rose $4.33, or 33%, and increased $2.51, or 17%, for the first half of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due to increased industry rates for all available well services for repairs and maintenance.
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $665,000, a 38% increase from the same period in 2004. The six months’ operating income for 2005 increased 59%, or $1,259,000, over 2004.
Information concerning our leonardite operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, is set forth in the table below:
Leonardite Operations |

Operating income (loss) | $ (18,995) | | (203%) | | $ 4,168 | | N/A |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Leonardite production sold decreased 402 tons, or 20%, and increased 912 tons, or 20%, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to the equivalent periods in 2004. The increase in the first half of 2005 was due to a 64% increase in the first quarter and a 34% increase during the first month of the second quarter compared to the same periods in 2004. Revenue also increased 40%, or $222,000, for the first half of 2005 over the same period in 2004 but revenue decreased 5%, or $16,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. Decreases in production and revenue for the second quarter are the result of the May 17, 2005 fire at our Leonardite facility. Although the actual processing equipment was relatively unaffected, the damage to the electrical systems that control the operation of the equipment was significant. This has caused us to suspend production indefinitely.
Cost of leonardite sold increased $27,000, or 11%, and $205,000, or 41%, for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2004. The increase in costs is relatively proportionate with the increased sales while the plant was in production. Average per ton production costs for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, increased $33.08, or 33%, and $18.95, or 17%, compared to the same periods in 2004.
Our insurer for the leonardite facility has determined the scope of the damage and we have recognized a receivable of $735,000 in the second quarter. We will receive an additional amount of approximately $640,000 for our replacement cost option if we decide to repair and restore the facility to normal operations. The Board of Directors has formed a special committee to explore strategic alternatives for our leonardite operating segment.
Information concerning our drilling operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, is set forth in the table below:

All amounts in the drilling operations table above are presented in conformance with our financial statements. Accordingly, Western Star Drilling Company’s (“WSDC”) revenue and expenses from the drilling of GeoResources’ wells or wells in which they participated are eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements and the cost of those wells is capitalized by GeoResources in oil and gas properties, using the full cost method of accounting. Therefore, the amounts shown in the table represent only drilling operations performed by WSDC for companies other than GeoResources.
During the first half of 2005, WSDC’s operations consisted of 58 operating days drilling four wells for other operators. GeoResources has a 10% interest in one of those wells. This compares to one well drilled for GeoResources and one for another operator in the same period of 2004. Drilling costs were higher due to the increased number of days in use but also in part due to unexpected repairs of damage caused by a trucking company while moving the rig. As the present time, WSDC has four contracts outstanding for the drilling of six additional wells. GeoResources will operate two of the wells.
Consolidated Analysis
Total operating revenues increased $219,000, or 13%, and $923,000, or 33%, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004 due to increased energy prices. Total operating expenses increased $25,000, or 2%, and $506,000, or 21%, for the same periods. Operating expenses for oil and gas, leonardite, and drilling were previously discussed. Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, increased compared to the prior year periods due to higher depreciation of the drilling rig that is based on the number of days the rig is operated. Selling, general and administrative increased primarily due to our efforts to increase investor awareness of the company.
Operating income increased to $456,000 and $782,000, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to $262,000 and $365,000 for the same periods in 2004. Income taxes were $129,000 for the first half of 2005 due in part to the $498,000 non-operating gain recognized on the involuntary conversion of our Leonardite facility. After non-operating expenses and a provision for income taxes, net income was $848,000 or $.23 per share and $1,121,000 or $.30 per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to a net income of $234,000 or $.06 per share and $317,000 or $.09 per share for the same periods in 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2005, we had working capital of $988,000 compared to working capital of $85,000 at December 31, 2004. Our current ratio was 1.56 to 1 at June 30, 2005, compared to 1.04 to 1 at December 31, 2004.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,168,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $664,000 for the same period in 2004. Cash was utilized to make payments of $576,000 for additions to property, plant and equipment, $34,000 for payments on capital leases, $261,000 for regularly scheduled payments on long-term debt and $125,000 for prepayment on long-term debt.
We believe our future cash requirements can be met by cash flows from operations and, if necessary, borrowings on our $3,000,000 line-of-credit, which has funds available for use, subject to collateral requirements. Future cash requirements might also be provided by possible forward sales of oil reserves or additional debt or equity financing.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. J. P. Vickers, has implemented the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to Mr. Vickers. Our executive officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period. Based on such evaluation, Mr. Vickers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting him on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Cage, Trustee v. GeoResources, Inc.). The bankruptcy trustee of a former leonardite customer, Ambar, Inc. (n/k/a Ramba, Inc.) has sued us for approximately $139,000 in an amended preference claim in Bankruptcy Court. Our defense has been vigorous, and on September 1, 2004, the District Court considered our Motion for Summary Judgment and ruled in our favor. On September 14, 2004, the bankruptcy trustee filed a Notice of Appeal. On June 17, 2005, we filed our Joint Brief of Appellees.
