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, 2006, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, and 2005.
The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.
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, 2005.
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. Operations of the leonardite segment became substantially idle in May 2005. See Note 4. 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, 2006 | | December 31, 2005 |
Oil and gas | $ 11,224,724
| $ 10,759,625 |

4.
Our leonardite processing facility was damaged in a fire on May 17, 2005, and has not operated since that date. Our insurance carrier determined the scope of damage, and we have an insurance claim receivable of $41,000 and previously received payments amounting to $694,000. During 2005, we recorded a $493,000 gain consisting of the insurance claim receivable and cash received less the net book value of the facility at the time of the fire and less direct costs incurred because of the fire.
The fire has not affected our ability to mine leonardite raw material; however, other associated 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. No depreciation expense has been recorded on these idle assets since May 2005. The net book value of temporarily idle assets, which consists of property, equipment, and inventory, as of June 30, 2006, is $349,174.
Although we are continuing to explore any strategic alternatives for our leonardite-operating segment, we currently are expecting to restore our leonardite facility to operations, and we have given our insurance carrier written notice of that intention. It is uncertain at this time when repairs will begin, because the scope of the repairs has not been fully determined due to engineering and design work that needs to be completed and labor concerns caused by oil and gas activity in the Williston, North Dakota, area. For the present time, we intend to keep viable options open by continuing to pursue minor raw material sales, engineering design and specification for needed equipment replacement, and any other strategic alternatives. If construction activity begins in a reasonable amount of time, we will be able to draw on additional insurance proceeds of up to approximately $640,000 as repairs a re made.
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 industries, 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 fo rward-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 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, 2005, could affect our actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements.
In the following section, the results of operations of each of our three business segments is discussed and analyzed separately. Because certain corporate expenses are considered to benefit the entire organization, they are not allocated to operating segments. Therefore, in the following discussions, segment operating income (loss) does not include general and administrative expense.
Results of Operations - Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006, compared to Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Information concerning our oil and gas operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, is set forth in the table below:

| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
The preceding table indicates various measures of our oil and gas exploration and production operations in the second quarter and first half of 2006 and the percent change from the same periods in the prior year. Oil and gas production sold during the second quarter of 2006 increased 4,200 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), or 14%, compared to the same quarter in 2005, and advanced 11,200 BOE, or 20%, for the first half of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The higher production sold was due to a new well put on production in mid-January 2006 and remedial work performed to increase production from existing wells and return shut-in wells to production. Of the 4,200 second quarter and 11,200 first half 2006 overall increases, 3,900 barrels and 7,900 barrels, respectively, were due to the new Anderson 41-25 #3 well (1 gross, 1 net) drilled in the Leonard Field of Bottineau County, North Dakota in late 2005. In July, we drilled a well (1 gross, 1 net) using our Western Star Drilling Company subsidiary. This well was a field delineation development well that was plugged and abandoned when it was found that it did not expand the field as we hoped. We plan to drill two more wells (2 gross, 2 net) during the remainder of 2006.
More workover and remedial projects are in progress in 2006 primarily targeted at returning shut-in wells to production. The largest project is returning nine small shut-in gas wells (9 gross, 9 net) in our Hammond Gas Field, Carter County, Montana to production on our gathering and compression system during 2006. This project also contemplates that seven other existing wells could be added to the gathering system in a second phase once gas production is resumed. We produced the Hammond Field in 1981 through 1986 and over those six years, it averaged about 50,000 MCF or 8,000 BOE per year of net production. The Hammond Field is not considered a large gas property by industry standards but it is the most substantial gas property that we own. The resumption of gas production is targeted for mid to late fall. Most of the work necessary to return the field to production involves repairs and upgrades to our gathering, compression and dehydration infrastructure. Severe shortages of this kind of equipment have hampered our schedule but we continue to believe production can be resumed in 2006.
During the second quarter and first half of 2006, we received materially higher average oil values per BOE along with our higher production that enabled oil and gas revenue to increase $634,000, or 48%, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and increased $1,122,000, or 45%, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in 2005. These significantly improved revenues were due to growth in production and advances in oil and gas prices in both the three- and six-month periods. Second quarter average value per BOE was 30%, or $13.28, higher, and first half 2005 BOE value was 21%, or $9.34, above those for the same periods in 2005.
Second quarter 2006 oil and gas production costs increased from the prior year, rising $185,000, or 36%. First half 2006 costs were higher by $376,000, or 40%. These increases were spread across numerous different expense categories but all were related to our higher level of workover activity, the increasing costs of oilfield related equipment and services and higher severance taxes. The largest impacts on increased second quarter production costs were $72,000 in expensed remedial workover costs, $39,000 in higher severance taxes, $27,000 in petroleum based fuels and treating chemicals, $18,000 in higher expenses for non-operated properties, and $9,000 for electrical power. The remaining $20,000 of the increase was due to generally higher costs in virtually all our oil and gas related expenses. For the first six months the composition of the increased costs was $183,000 for expensed remedial worko ver costs, $70,000 in severance taxes, $48,000 for petroleum based fuels, $24,000 for non-operated properties, $11,000 for salt water disposal cost and $6,000 for electrical power. The remaining $34,000 for the six months was also due to general increases in oil and gas related costs. Production costs on a per-equivalent-barrel basis for the second quarter of 2006 grew $3.35, or 19%, and increased $2.78, or 16%, for the first half of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. Of the roughly $20 per barrel total production costs for both periods, $3.50 and $3.37, respectively, were due to severance taxes paid to the applicable states. DD&A for oil and gas operations was also higher than the same prior year periods due to increases in capitalized oil and gas properties and projected costs for planned future investments to develop proved reserves. However, the depletion rate has remained essentially stable at about $5 per BOE.
As a result of all the factors discussed above, operating income for the oil and gas segment for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $1,090,000, a $425,000, or 64%, increase from the same period in 2005. The six months’ operating income for 2006 was $1,947,000 a $688,000, or 55%, increase over 2005.
Information concerning our drilling operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, is set forth in the table below:

All amounts in the drilling operations table above are presented in conformance with the consolidation of our financial statements. Accordingly, revenue and expenses of our wholly owned subsidiary Western Star Drilling Company (WSDC) from the drilling of GeoResources’ wells or portions of wells in which they participated are eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements and the cost of those wells is capitalized by GeoResources in its 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 second quarter and first half of 2006, WSDC did not drill any wells in which GeoResources had an ownership interest.
During the second quarter of 2006, WSDC’s operations advanced 16% to 37 operating days drilling two wells for other operators compared to 32 days drilling two wells for other operators in the second quarter of 2005. For the first half of 2006 drilling days increased 43% to 83 days drilling five wells for other operators compared to 58 days drilling four wells in 2005. Footage drilled through the second quarter 2005 and 2006 was 22,600 and 28,800 feet, respectively. The well count and footage drilled used in this discussion are for gross wells drilled in each period either for other operators or for GeoResources. The operating days and all other parameters in the table, however, are net amounts for only outside drilling as discussed in the paragraph above.
Drilling revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2006 increased $267,000, or 104%, and $581,000, or 126%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Both revenue periods reflect significant increases in revenue from normal daywork drilling operations and they were also augmented by $120,000 in revenue due from an outside operator for lost and damaged drill string, which occurred during a project in the second quarter 2006. Exclusive of the drill string revenue, second quarter and first half revenue from normal daywork operations increased $147,000, or 57%, and $461,000, or 100%, for each period respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Without the drill string factor, 2006 second quarter and first half average drilling revenue per day increased $2,895, or 36%, to $10,900 and $3,206, or 41%, to $11,100, respectively. Revenue per day was positively affected by two daywork rate increas es that occurred between the periods compared herein. One increase was effective for all contracts after June 1, 2005, and the second for contracts after January 1, 2006.
Drilling costs were not affected by the lost and damaged drill string factor discussed above so they more closely tracked the operating days and generally higher costs. Drilling costs for the second quarter 2006 increased $99,000, or 40%, due primarily to the increased cost of diesel fuel to power the rig. Drilling costs for the first half of 2006 increased $284,000, or 53%, due to substantially higher fuel costs and the higher number of days in use. Average costs per day for the second quarter and first half 2006, increased $1,660, or 22%, and $685, or 7%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. As shown in the table, DD&A expense was also higher in both 2006 periods due to higher rig utilization.
After the provision for depreciation, the drilling segment had operating income in both periods compared to operating losses in the same periods of 2005. A percent change is not enlightening but the dollar amount of the increase in segment operating income was $159,000 for the second quarter of 2006 compared to second quarter 2005 and $275,000 for the first half of 2006 compared to the first half of 2005. At the present time, WSDC has three contracts outstanding for the drilling of six additional wells. Of these total contracts, GeoResources has one contract applicable to two wells.
Information concerning our leonardite operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, is set forth in the table below:
Leonardite Operations |

| | | | | | | |
Average production cost per ton | $ 154.55 | | 16% | | $ 412.12 | | 214% |
| | | | | | | |
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) | $ 2,594 | | (85%) | | $ 4,924 | | (89%) |
| | | | | | | |
Segment operating loss | $ (8,300) | | N/A | | $ (100,690) | | (2,516%) |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Leonardite production sold decreased 1,777 tons, or 87%, and 5,054 tons, or 94%, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, compared to the equivalent periods in 2005. Revenue also decreased 95%, or $730,000, for the first half of 2006 over the same period in 2005 and 88%, or $246,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Decreases in production and revenue for the first half of 2006 are due to a May 17, 2005 fire at our Leonardite facility that caused the suspension of the manufacturing of leonardite finished products. The majority of sales for 2006 are raw products used for agriculture.
Cost of leonardite sold decreased $232,000, or 85%, and $570,000, or 81%, for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. On a percentage basis, the decrease in costs is relatively proportionate with the decreased sales. However, average per ton production costs for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 increased $20.81, or 16%, and $280.72, or 214%, compared to the same periods in 2005. Although the leonardite facility is not processing finished product, we continue to incur facility expenses that are absorbed by the small quantity of raw product sales. Those expenses were primarily normal continuing costs such as insurance premiums, maintenance of equipment, and labor costs.
Our insurance carrier determined that the replacement cost value (RCV) of the leonardite facility was $1,375,311, with an actual cash value (ACV) of $735,365. We have received payment for most of the ACV. Receipt of additional insurance proceeds up to the RCV amount is contingent on our compliance with the replacement cost option of our policy that requires us to replace, repair and restore the facility to operations. If such repairs are finished in a reasonable amount of time, our insurance will provide the additional amount up to approximately $640,000 payable as the repairs are completed and invoiced.
On November 17, 2005, we notified our insurance company that we have decided to repair our leonardite facility and restore it to normal operations. The timing of these repairs is not certain at this time because the scope of the repairs has not been fully determined due to processing changes we are investigating. Our 1982 processing facility used a fluid bed drying process fueled by natural gas that may not be the optimal process to use in today’s markets. Our plant restoration is affected by several other factors including operating with older equipment, availability of labor, maintaining better quality control for our products, and meeting EPA standards. We expect insurance proceeds to cover substantially all of the restoration costs. The market for drilling mud additives is strong; however, future market conditions, competition in leonardite based drilling mud additives, or future unforeseeable e vents and occurrence could cause us to change our plans and affect how the restoration is done. For the present time, we intend to continue to pursue the sale of raw material products, testing of alternative drying and grinding methods and engineering design and specification for needed equipment replacement.
Our leonardite mining operation has a 240-acre Logical Mining Unit (LMU) that contains 160 acres of BLM leasehold. In December 2005, we were issued a new mining permit and mine plan approvals by the North Dakota Public Service Commission and the BLM. We incurred approximately $75,000 of stripping costs opening the new mine pit in January 2006. These costs are being amortized over the expected life of the mine.
Consolidated Analysis
Total operating revenues increased $655,000, or 35%, and $972,000, or 26%, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in 2005 due to substantially increased revenue from oil and gas sales and drilling operations partially offset by substantially lower leonardite sales. Total operating expenses increased $104,000, or 7%, and $161,000, or 5%, and total depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $18,000, or 9%, and $45,000, or 12%, for the same periods. These were previously discussed. Numerous increases and decreases resulted in an overall increase of selling, general and administrative costs of $34,000, or 20%, and $26,000, or 8%, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in 2005.
As a result of all the preceding, total operating income increased to $1,007,000 and $1,593,000, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, compared to $456,000 and $782,000 for the same periods in 2005. Income taxes were $159,000 and $214,000, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, compared to $98,000 and $129,000 for the same periods in 2005. After non-operating expenses and a provision for income taxes, net income was $854,000 or $.23 per share and $1,382,000 or $.37 per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, compared to a net income of $848,000 or $.23 per share and $1,121,000 or $.30 per share for the same periods in 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2006, we had working capital of $2,063,000 compared to working capital of $978,000 at December 31, 2005. Our current ratio was 2.39 to 1 at June 30, 2006, compared to 1.47 to 1 at December 31, 2005.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,024,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,168,000 for the same period in 2005. Cash was utilized to make payments of $703,000 for additions to property, plant and equipment, $20,000 for payments on capital leases, $260,000 for regularly scheduled payments on long-term debt and $242,000 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.
