EARTH SEARCH SCIENCES, INC
SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2001 (unaudited)
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Earth Search Sciences, Inc.
(the Company) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2002. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and the Form 10-K of the Company for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2001.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company is experiencing working capital deficiencies because of operating
losses and capital expenditures. The Company has operated with funds received
from the sale of its common stock and the issuance of notes. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continued debt or
equity financings until or unless the Company is able to generate sufficient
operating revenues to sustain ongoing operations. The Company plans to increase
the number of revenue producing services through the use of additional
hyperspectral instruments and thereby continue as a going concern.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations. SFAS
141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The
Statement also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the
purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. The
adoption of SFAS 141 will not have an impact on the Company's financial
statements.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. The provisions of SFAS 142 are required to be applied starting with
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 with earlier application
permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001 provided
that the first interim financial statements have previously been issued. The
statement is required to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets
recognized in its financial statements to that date. The initial application of
SFAS 142 will have no impact on the Company's financial statements.
4. MINERAL PROPERTIES
In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company incurred additional
expenditures on existing working interests in oil and gas properties of
$410,001, of which $250,000 was paid by the issuance of Company common stock. In
the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company incurred additional expenditures
on existing working interests in oil and gas properties of $147,162 and
wrote-off $466,522 of previously capitalized costs on two oil and gas drillings
that were determined to be uneconomical wells. Based on the agreements for the
Company's oil and gas working interests, the Company will proportionately share
in future revenues as well as future exploration, drilling and operating costs.
For new drillings on existing properties, the Company will have the right but
not the obligation to participate in new drilling efforts. On a case by case
basis the Company will determine whether or not to participate in these new
drilling efforts.

6. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each quarter and income available to common shareholders.
Loss per share assuming dilution is based on the assumption that outstanding
stock options were exercised. The weighted average shares for computing basic
loss per share were 154, 219,439 and 130,112,623 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively and 154,205,735 and 128,920,483 for
the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. At September 30,
2001 and 2000, 17,575,500 and 28,850,000 stock options were exercisable,
respectively. Because of the net loss for the six months ended September 30,
2001 and 2000, potentially dilutive common stock issuances were not included in
the calculation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Included in the financial statements of the Company is Space Technology
Development Corporation (STDC), which was acquired on December 21, 1999.
STDC is developing a remote sensing satellite in cooperation with the U.S. Navy
and several corporate partners under the congressionally sanctioned Joint Dual
Use Applications Program (JDUAP). This joint development provides for a
long-term cooperative relationship with the U.S. Navy and substantial federal
funding for what will be a commercially owned and operated hyperspectral remote
sensing satellite called the Naval EarthMap Observer (NEMO).
The NEMO agreement with the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research obligates the
government to provide approximately $64 million in funding, of which
approximately $60 million has already been spent. STDC is required to raise
approximately $125 million, the balance of funds needed to complete the
satellite and launch it, as well as to establish the commercial business to sell
products based on the imagery the satellite will collect. Work on the satellite
is proceeding as the Company and STDC raise funds to meet the industry
commitment.
Included in the Satellite Development business segment is additional costs of
satellite and sensor construction reimbursed to the Company through the US
Navy's Office of Naval Research.
In the Airborne Hyperspectral Services business segment in the second quarter of
2002, the Company projects were environmental and governmental agency related
contracts and sales of archive data.
In the Oil and Gas Properties business segment in the second quarter of 2002,
the Company continued with its strategic plan of investing in projects that
explore and develop oil and gas properties.
The Company recognized revenue of $977,679 in the second quarter of 2002
compared with $259,863 in the second quarter of 2001. Included in the second
quarter of 2002 is $101,685 in revenue from Oil and Gas Properties and revenue
of $744,994 from STDC. Revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, was $2,499,748 and $722,877, respectively. Included in revenue for the six
months ended September 30, 2001and 2000 is $2,115,413 and $433,014, respectively
from STDC. Revenue from airborne hyperspectral services was $167,156 and
$289,863 for the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Revenue from oil and gas properties was $217,179 for the six months ended
September 30, 2001. There was no revenue from oil and gas properties for the six
months ended September 30, 2000 as production on oil and gas properties started
in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.
The Company recognized costs of revenue of $863, 412 in the three months ended
September 30, 2001 compared with $325,898 for the three months ended September
30, 2000. Included in the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 is STDC
cost of revenue of $ 744,994 and $137,427, respectively. Cost of revenue for the
six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, was $2,739,338 and $1,307,262,
respectively. Included in cost of revenue for the six months ended September 30,
2001and 2000 is $2,115,413 and $1,089,865, respectively from STDC. Cost of
revenue from airborne hyperspectral services was $132,078 and $217,397 for the
six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cost of revenue from
oil and gas properties was $491,847 for the six months ended September 30, 2001.
There was no cost of revenue from oil and gas properties for the six months
ended September 30, 2000.
9
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2001 were $1,075,713 compared with $1,000,672 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended
September 30, 2001 were $1,779,783 compared with $1,903,606 for the six months
ended September 30, 2000.
Interest income for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2001 was
$2,431 and $4,175, respectively compared to $28,446 and 77,780 for the same
periods in 2000 due to significantly lower average cash balances in the 2002
compared to the 2001.
Interest expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2001 was
$193,261 and $336,857 compared to $258,196 and $393,769 for the same periods in
2000 due to lower average interest bearing liability balances in 2002 compared
to the 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Net cash decreased in the second quarter of 2002 due to capital expenditures and
operating losses. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2002 were
primarily expenditures for the Company's satellite program and additional
expenditures on oil and gas properties.
Net cash used in operating activities was $786,390 for the six months ended
September 30, 2001, resulting primarily from a net loss of $2,161,828 net of
certain non-cash expenses. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,565,182
for the six months ended September 30, 2000, resulting primarily from a net loss
of $2,660,589 net of certain non-cash expenses.
The Company is experiencing working capital deficiencies because of operating
losses and capital expenditures. The Company has operated with funds received
from the sale of its common stock and the issuance of notes. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continued debt or
equity financings until or unless the Company is able to generate operating
revenues to sustain ongoing operations. The Company plans to increase the number
of revenue producing services through the use of additional hyperspectral
instruments and thereby continue as a going concern.
Over the next 6 to 12 months, the Company expects to raise sufficient capital
through a combination of debt and sale of equity in its subsidiaries. Additional
capital will enable the Company to pursue an acquisition plan intended to
further its market leadership position in airborne and space based hyperspectral
remote sensing technology and to attract highly specialized technical,
managerial and marketing staff to assist each subsidiary in the execution of its
business plan. Further, additional capital will enable the Company to finish the
construction and launch of the NEMO I satellite and to start feasibility
studies, engineering, and design of next generation airborne remote sensing
instruments and the NEMO II satellite.
CURRENT WORLD SITUATION AND FUTURE OPERATIONS
- ---------------------------------------------
The World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks were horrible events. They have
resulted in unprecedented civil defense and military activity in the United
States. Part of this activity involves a need for intelligence information, some
of which must be drawn from the remote sensing segment of American industry. The
U.S. government believes this war against terrorism will be an extended
engagement and will require intelligence information from a variety of sources.
Both the Company's current airborne remote sensing capability and the future
launch of the hyperspectral imaging satellite, NEMO, will provide imagery and
intelligence data both at home and abroad that will improve military
10
effectiveness and related actions. Some of the intelligence data provided by
NEMO are obvious, while others do not fall in the releasable for public
consumption domain. The Company is already engage in talks with U.S. government
officials in regards to the "Homeland Defense" initiative.
The Company has active aerial hyperspectral capabilities today. The NEMO
satellite is currently 14-22 months away from launch and full operation. The
Company believes it is most important that the country have hyperspectral
capabilities as quickly as possible. Fast tracking the NEMO launch to 14 months
is an objective shared by both the Company and the government.
The events of September 11, 2001 are, without question, the most catastrophic
events in the country's history. However, it has served to re-awaken the United
States to the fact that the continental United States is not a safe haven
excluded from the world's evils. These events have also introduced various U.S.
agencies to the Company's leadership position in hyperspectral imagery and the
various roles it can play in responding to this latest threat to the continental
U.S. It is already apparent that this new wide-scale awareness to hyperspectral
technology and the Company's unusual capabilities should result in exponential
and profitable revenue growth for the Company over the next several years with
most of these revenues coming from the Department of Defense and other State and
Federal government agencies.
The value of hyperspectral to the defense and intelligence communities
notwithstanding, the Company fully intends to continue with its more commercial
endeavors in the environmental market and oil and gas business segment as well
as to pursue sales of hyperspectral services for surveying and processing, to
third parties in the mineral, hydrocarbon, forestry and environmental areas. In
addition, the Company intends to continue to perform remote sensing surveys for
its own use with applications in mineral and hydrocarbon exploration as well as
hyperspectral validation surveys that will assist the Company in future
marketing activities.
The Company's subsidiary office in Washington, D.C. will focus on aforementioned
business development efforts with the federal government, as well as executing
the NEMO project. The Company believes U.S. Governmental agencies, especially
the Department of Defense and intelligence agencies will not only have great
interest in NEMO generated products, but will also engage the Company's aerial
remote sensing capabilities almost immediately.
