To date the Corporation has not attained commercial operations from its various patents and technology rights. At September 30, 2003 the Corporation had a working capital deficiency of $352,327 and a deficit of $7,263,642. The principal and interest owed to a note holder was overdue until June 4, 2003. The future of the Corporation is dependent upon its ability to maintain the continued financial support of the note holder (see note 5 to the consolidated financial statements), and obtaining adequate additional financing to fund the development of commercial operations from its various patents and technology rights.

     *          In 2001, the Corporation borrowed $2.3 million from a third party to finance the acquisition of various patents and technology rights. The loan is secured by all the assets of the Corporation, has quarterly interest payments at 9% per annum and was overdue. On June 4, 2003 the note holder agreed to extend the due date to January 12, 2005 on the principal and interest due at March 31, 2003 aggregating $2,651,408.

     **          Advances from investors totaling $498,186 pursuant to a proposed private placement of common share units at a price of $0.15 per common share unit have been received prior to closing.

Number of Shares Issued

     The number of shares issued in the last five years are 38,493,465 in 2002; 12,114,217 in 2001; 20,769,188 in 2000; 24,000,000 in 1999; and 29,725,679 in 1998.

     As at December 31, 2002, we had 141,948,050 shares issued and outstanding, whereas at a year earlier at December 31, 2001, we had 103,454,585 shares issued and outstanding.

*   During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, Geopetrol Resources Ltd., a company controlled by Thomas Bugg, an officer and director, provided technical and administrative services to us. No fees were charged for these services.

    Up to September 2003, we issued 3,444,590 common shares ranging from $0.10 to $0.18 per share to pay $709,916 of accounts payable and settle a contractual dispute. Of the shares issued, 313,860, 303,765 and 74,208 shares were issued to one of our employees, Paul Costinel; to Lourenco Technology Corp., a company controlled by Jose Lourenco, one of our officers; and to Lifschultz Terminal Leasing, a company controlled by David Lifschultz, one of our directors, respectively.

**   An unrelated third party holds a note for a $2.3 million loan made to us. On June 4, 2003 the note holder agreed to extend the due date of principal and interest due to January 12, 2005. Accordingly, the principal and interest due at September 30, 2003 has been classified as a long-term liability.

     Going Concern

     To date we have not attained commercial operations from our various patents and technology rights. $2,707,815 of principal and interest owed to a note holder. On June 4, 2003 the note was extended to January 12, 2005. Our future is dependent upon our ability to maintain the continued financial support of the note holder and to obtain adequate additional financing to fund the development of commercial operations from our various patents and technology rights. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis that we will continue to operate throughout the next fiscal period to September 30, 2004 as a going concern. A failure to continue as a going concern would require that stated amounts of assets and liabilities be reflected on a liquidation basis, which would differ from the going concern basis.

     General Risk Factors

     An investment in our common shares should be considered highly speculative. In addition to other information in this Form 20-FR, you should carefully consider the following factors when evaluating us and our business.

     Much of the information included in this application includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

     The section that follows addresses several of the risk factors related to our operations in more detail.

     We have a history of substantial losses and negative cash flows. We expect these losses and negative cash flows to continue and increase in the future. If we are unable to make a profit, we may not be able to continue to operate our business.

     We have not earned profits to date and it may not earn profits in the future. Profitability, if achieved, may not be sustained. The commercialization of our technologies requires financial resources and capital infusions and future revenues may not be sufficient to generate the funds required to continue our business development and marketing activities. If we do not obtain sufficient capital to fund our operations, we may be required to forego certain business opportunities or discontinue operations entirely. At December 31, 2002, we had cumulative, non-capital operating losses of $13,772,156, which are available to reduce taxes in future years.

     We have incurred significant losses and expect to continue to incur significantly greater costs than revenue received. Consequently we expect to incur losses in the near term. If we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain it. The business of initiating, developing and implementing inventive or innovative processes is inherently risky. Manpower and capital employed may not result in the development of a commercial or economic process. Once successfully developed, there is no certainty that the intended market will be receptive to our technology. In all areas of our business, we may compete against entities that may have greater technical and financial resources. We are completely dependent upon external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable or economic terms.

     The intellectual property and technology developed by us may not work in the manner anticipated or the market may not be receptive to our technology.

5


Table of Contents

     We develop technology for use in various industries. Part of the risk in this type of undertaking is that the technology may not perform as expected or its use may not be economical. The development of intellectual property is expensive and time consuming, and if the developed product is not marketable then no revenues will be realized from its development.

     The marketability of our technologies depends on the ability of those technologies to meet and adapt to the needs of industry customers. The markets for our technologies may not develop further and the current level of market acceptance of our products may decrease or may not be sustainable. In order to continue marketing our technology, we must adapt to rapid changes in technology and customer requirements. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to enhance our existing technology, gain market acceptance, and continue to develop our products to meet increasingly demanding customer requirements.

     The growth in demand for our technology is highly uncertain. Our potential market may not develop as we anticipate and, accordingly, we may not be able to expand our business or operate it profitably.

     The market for our technology has only recently begun to develop and is evolving rapidly. Future demand for these services is highly uncertain. We believe that many of our potential customers are not fully aware of the benefits of our technology. We must educate potential customers regarding these benefits and convince them of our ability to provide complete and reliable services. The market for our technology may never become viable or grow further. If the market for our technology does not grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

     Key employees may terminate their employment.

     Skilled and educated professionals are a fundamental component of the development of intellectual property. If these key employees terminate their employment with us, the development of our intellectual property may be hindered or delayed, increasing the expenses associated with technology development. Our success is dependent on the services of members of our senior management team. The experience and talents of this team will be a significant factor in our continued success and growth. The loss of a senior management member could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain or replace our key personnel.

     We have issued common share purchase warrants and options, the conversion and/or exercise of which would have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share.

     As of December 31, 2002, we have reserved 10,000,000 Common Shares for issuance upon the exercise of stock options. These Common Shares represent a potential equity dilution of approximately 14%, based upon 151,268,052 being the total number of outstanding Common Shares after issuance of such shares. Furthermore, we may enter into commitments in the future which would require the issuance of additional Common Shares, and we may grant additional stock options. We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. Issuance of additional shares would be subject to TSX Venture Exchange regulatory approval and compliance with applicable securities legislation. We are currently have no plans to issue Common Shares other than upon the exercise of warrants and for the purpose of raising funds for general working capital requirements, or to accommodate strategic partnerships, which issuance would be subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

     Third parties may claim that we infringe their proprietary rights.

     We potentially may be subjected to claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. As the number of products in the oil and gas industry increases, we may become increasingly subject to infringement claims, including patent and copyright infringement claims. In addition, previous employers of our former, current or future employees may assert claims that such employees have improperly disclosed to us the confidential or proprietary information belonging to those employers. Any such claim, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention from our core business, require us to stop selling or delay shipping, or cause the redesign of our product. In addition, we may be required to pay

6


Table of Contents

monetary amounts as damages, for royalty or licensing arrangements, or to satisfy indemnification obligations that we have with some of our customers.

     We may not be able to protect our proprietary information.

     We rely on a combination of copyright, patents and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other measures to protect our proprietary information. All of these measures afford only limited protection. These measures may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged, and others may develop technologies or processes that are similar or superior to our technology. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy our products or to obtain or use information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that we will be effective in preventing misappropriation of our proprietary rights.

     Our intellectual property may become outdated or surpassed by industry improvements.

     We are a technology-based company and is involved in developing, improving, and marketing this technology to customers. There is a risk that new developments in our field of specialty will arise, making our technology products less marketable. To enhance our position in the technology industry, we must continue to develop and improve our current products and develop product extensions. There is no assurance that there will be a demand for the products or capital available to finance their development.

     We operate in a competitive market

     The business of providing technology-based solutions to industry is highly competitive. Some of our competitors may have greater financial and marketing resources, greater market share and name recognition than us, which would allow them to quickly develop market presence in the markets we serve or allow them to expand into new markets that we intend to serve. There is no assurance that we will be able to effectively compete with these competitors.

     Potential expansion and opportunities may arise.

     We may continue to expand our operations or product lines through the acquisition of additional businesses, products or technologies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate any acquired businesses, products or technologies without substantial expenses, delays or other operational or financial challenges. Furthermore, acquisitions may involve a number of additional risks, including the diversion of management’s attention, failure to retain key personnel, unanticipated events or circumstances and legal liabilities, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that acquired businesses, products or technologies, if any, will achieve anticipated revenues and profitability. Acquisitions could also result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities. Our failure to manage our acquisition strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

     U.S. investors may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us or our management.

     We are incorporated in Canada. Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, U.S. investors may not be able to:

    effect service of process upon us or these persons within the United States; or

    enforce against us or these persons in United States courts, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States; or

    initiate a derivative suit on our behalf.

     We are subject to exchange rate risk.

     We are a Canadian company and our operating expenses and capital expenditures are denominated in Canadian dollars. We will be subject to exchange rate risk where we enter into contracts not denominated in Canadian dollars, and accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material effect on our results of operations.

     We are a technology company. However, our previous business activities include natural resource mining and exploration. As a result we may be exposed to unknown environmental liability that could require us to expend our financial resources and materially adversely affect our financial condition.

     Prior to 2000, we engaged in the natural resource exploration and development business, including mining and oil and gas. The mining, mineral processing and oil and gas industries are subject to extensive governmental regulations for the protection of the environment, including regulations relating to air and water quality, site reclamation, solid and hazardous waste handling and disposal and the promotion of occupational safety. We could be held responsible for any liabilities relating to our previous involvement in mining or oil and gas exploration and development, which liabilities would result in our spending our cash resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Our Information

     A. Our history and development.

     The Company

     We were created from an amalgamation on September 5, 1996 under the Canada Business Corporations Act of Genoil Inc. and Continental Fashion Group Inc., a public company whose shares traded on the Alberta Stock Exchange. At the time of the merger, Continental Fashion Group Inc. had no assets, no liabilities and did not carry on any business.

     History

         
1996   -   We were created from an amalgamation between Genoil Inc. and Continental Fashion Group Inc. Continental Fashion Group Inc. shareholders received shares in the amalgamated company on a 10-for-1 basis while Genoil Inc. shareholders received shares in the amalgamated company on a 1-for-1 basis.
1997   -   We acquired interests in oil and gas properties located in the Province of Quebec;
    -   St. Genevieve Resources Ltd., our parent company, re-directed funds from our accounts, leaving us insolvent;
    -   Debt owed by Explogas Ltd. was converted for farm-in rights in Cuba offshore and onshore in a related party transaction by which we acquired shares of Explogas and a general release in respect of their dealings. Subsequent to the conversion of debt, we sold all of our shares in Explogas.
1998   -   We were re-capitalized by Beau Canada Exploration (“Beau”) and we became a subsidiary of Beau;
    -   Our board of directors and management were replaced and we changed our year end to December 31st;
    -   Royalty interests and producing properties in the Western Sedimentary Basin were purchased for $2,600,000;

     B. Business overview.

     General Development of the Business

     Our principal business is the development of technologies relating to the oil and gas industry. Our present goal is to commercialize our technologies internationally.

Table of Contents

     We own rights to several patented and proprietary technologies. A number of products that have been created from these technologies are under development. A discussion of these products follows.

     No consideration has been given to consumer boycotts as a result of operations in Countries of Particular Concern as defined by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. We are a Canadian company and as such the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 does not apply to our operations. We do not produce consumer products.

     Pilot Heavy Oil Upgrader

     We own heavy oil upgrader technology. Our upgrader uses a hydrogen addition process, as opposed to conventional carbon rejection. The considerable price differential between light and heavy oil creates a potential opportunity for the upgrader to be developed for both heavy oil and bitumen. The hydrogen addition process is a process whereby hydrogen is mixed with bitumen under specific pressures and temperatures to upgrade the bitumen from a low API to whatever desired value the client requires. Our pilot upgrader has progressed through the development stage.

     In 2002, we moved our pilot upgrader to a new location at Two Hills, Alberta. We moved the upgrader because we were restricted from testing third party crudes at the previous location in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, which in turn prevented us from generating revenue from testing of third party crude. The site at Two Hills, Alberta is our own site and as such there is no restriction on third party testing. We established this site in order to test specific grades of crude oil used in the refining operations of companies interested in the technology. Tests show that our process may have the capability to increase refinery output by up to 25% when compared to the industry’s prevailing technology based on carbon rejection methods, depending on numerous factors including existing refiner process equipment applied and type of crude oil to be used. This testing was undertaken on behalf of Gulf Canada Resources Ltd. and Renaissance Energy Ltd. During tests of the upgrader in 2001 tarsand bitumen was upgraded from 6.8 API to 28 API gravity using our process. Liquid yields were greater than 100% with no petroleum coke production. The carbon rejection process involves limiting the heavy ends of the bitumen thereby leaving the producer with a light quality product. Reducing the heavy ends will generally vary from 18-26% of the bitumen, depending upon the composition of the bitumen. In the hydrogen addition process, since hydrogen is being added to the bitumen the end result will consequently be greater than 100% of bitumen due to the hydrogen that is being added. Our process may also capable of yielding a key environmental benefit by lowering sulfur pollution during the refining process from 5% to 0.2%.

     We plan to use the pilot upgrader as part of a strategy to actively market our process and license our technology throughout the world’s oil refining industry. We have executed 12 marketing agreements granting marketing organization parties the right to sell the upgrader technology into international markets on a commission basis. The marketing organization parties are either individuals or organizations in Venezuela, Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Columbia, Chile, the US Virgin Islands, Romania, the Middle East, Great Britain, Spain, the United States, Canada, Korea and China. None of the marketing organization parties are affiliates and all agreements were the results of arm’s length negotiations. The material terms of the standard agreement include an obligation to pay a 10% commission on any sales of the sales representative; an initial contract term of 180 days; and terms to the effect that the sales representative does not operate as an exclusive sales representative.

     We have also executed an agreement with PetroChina, a foreign oil company, whereby testing of the pilot heavy oil upgrader may be conducted utilizing foreign oil. PetroChina has contracted to provide samples of their oil to be processed by the pilot heavy oil upgrader. Testing commenced in accordance with the agreement in July 2003 and is currently ongoing. Engineering personnel of both parties are involved in conducting the tests. There have been some delays due to the excess salt in the crude oil provided by PetroChina. The salt has to be removed before processing. The quantity of salt was unexpected and requires specialized equipment to remove it. This has delayed the testing of PetroChina’s crude oil but it is anticipated that testing will be completed shortly.

     Oil/Water Separation

     We own oil/water separator technology rights. Our Oil/Water Separator separates oil from water at the wellhead. An Oil/Water Separator test unit was outfitted at a Romanian facility under the direct supervision of our

Table of Contents

engineering staff and is presently located at our upgrader facility for testing at Two Hills, Alberta, Canada. Other companies also have oil-water separators that operate near the wellhead, but since our separators have no moving parts they can handle larger volumes with lower energy consumption and minimal downtime on a very cost-effective basis.

     The separator unit is expected to be available at our Two Hills upgrader site for demonstrations to interested oil producers in 2003.

     Jet Pump

     We own rights to a jet pump technology for use in certain applications. The pump was originally designed and engineered for carrying sand at a sand-cleaning plant. This sand cleaning technology is still in our stable of technologies, but management has held back its development. The jet pump is constructed from several components, some of which are patented by other inventors. We have developed an engineering design of the jet pump that has the potential to offer a number of applications across several industries as it has the ability to carry semi-solid materials over long distances. This capability is of particular interest to industries such as mining and forestry. These applications will be examined in the coming months.

     A half-year test trial by Stelco Inc.’s Canadian steel mill, AltaSteel Ltd., has been conducted on our jet pump technology. As a result of the test, the specifically adapted version of the jet pump technology was ultimately purchased by the mill that tested the technology to carry slurry waste for $70,000 in 2002 (this amount is shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements as an offset to Engineering and Equipment costs, not as revenue). We believe this would be applicable for all other existing steel mills, as all steel mills have this kind of waste. The success at the AltaSteel Ltd. steel mill is indicative that the jet pump would be useful to other steel mills and other processing plants with waste disposal issues.

     Tank De-Sander

     As part of the production process, oil is produced with sand and water. In the initial stage of production the feed is passed through a separator to removes the bulk of the water and solids content, then the remaining feed is placed in a storage tanks. Over time, the accumulation of settled solids at the bottom of the tank becomes problematic as it significantly reduces tank capacity. Our technology functions in a manner to remove this produced sand by way of a low-pressure fluidization manifold and suction removal. The fluidized sand is directed towards the center of the tank where it is removed through a suction connector fitted to a vacuum truck outside the tank, or by way of a jet pump. If production facilities can supply a continuous water source, a jet pump can be used to hydro transport the solids into a vessel for disposal, thereby eliminating the need for a vacuum truck. This is an alternative to the convention of directing the sand by way of high-pressure stinger wands, which have an added by-product of emulsifying the oil with water and sand. Conventional systems typically take up to 4 hours per tank, need 3 trucks on site (vacuum, water and stinger crew), and result in lost oil by removing the emulsion by-product. Our De-sanding system is approximately 75% faster, only requires 1 to 2 trucks (depending if there is a jet-pump installed) and results in lower emulsions, which conserves oil for sale.

     Hydrogen Technology

     On January 29, 2002, we acquired Hydrogen Solutions Inc. by issuing 10.5 million of our common shares at $0.21 per share and paying a 32.5% royalty based on net operating income relating to hydrogen production, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,205,000. The value of the common shares was determined based on the market price of the common shares on the date of the agreement and announcement of the terms of the acquisition. Hydrogen Solutions Inc. has the exclusive rights for specific applications of a process for the production of hydrogen from water called Gravitational Electrolysis. This process will require further research and development together with more testing in the future. The process, if proven, has the potential to reduce the cost of hydrogen production as compared to conventional methods: by having a centrifugal force weaken the molecular bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen molecules that a small electrical charge will cause the water to break into its component parts. As this charge of electricity is significantly less than would be used in the traditional electrolysis methodology it causes a significant reduction in the cost of producing the hydrogen.

11


Table of Contents

     Gravitational Electrolysis involves a cylindrical vessel filled with a specially prepared electrolyte solution that is rotated at a very high speed. The process works on centrifugal forces resulting in the separation of the SO3 anions and H+ cations, which are the ions in the sulphuric acid solution. The solution contains 30% sulphuric acid and 70% distilled water. The centrifugal forces set up at 30,000 RPM exceed 50,000 gravitational acceleration. The centrifugal force generated within the vessel acts selectively upon positive and negative ions due to their different atomic weights. The rotation initiates an electric current that causes a self-electrolysis process, fuelled by water to create hydrogen and oxygen. The higher the rotational speed the more efficient the unit may become. The separation of the ion is supposed to occur because of the centrifugal forces after such separation electrolysis would occur resulting in generation of hydrogen and oxygen on the one hand, and water de-composition on the other. The centrifugal forces create an inertia field very similar to the gravitational field but many times stronger. Due to the facts that very little external electricity is consumed during the process and only water is required by the process, it is anticipated that the cost to produce hydrogen may be lower than the costs associated with related upgrading technologies in use today, in particular methane steam reforming. The Electrical Hydrogen Generator is designed to operate on a continual basis to produce a H2/O2 gaseous product with continuous feed water and ambient heat exchange. The composition and function of the hydrogen technology presents some unique design and metallurgical challenges which we must overcome in order to market the technology.

     Some of the inherent challenges in the technology are as follow:

    The application of the technology will require a supply of ultra-pure water to prevent scaling of the Electrical Hydrogen Generator and contamination of the electrolyte, as scaling and contamination may be detrimental to the successful performance of the unit.

    In order to separate the H2/O2 internally the H2 must be of a purity of 99% or higher.

    The process creates a gravitational field capable of separating ions. However, the selection of electrolyte and method to introduce water into the reaction zone may offer some challenges in that the ability to re-hydrate a specific ion without creating sludge may be difficult.

     We have constructed a prototype Electrical Hydrogen Generator unit for testing purposes, which we initially tested in 2002. This test did not produce the anticipated results. On testing the prototype of the hydrogen centrifuge, there was noted to be small bubbles dissipating through the water supplying the device. The bubbles were not sufficient in quantity or quality to obtain an accurate reading and the scientific team were not sure of how to resolve the insufficiencies of the hydrogen process. Several solutions were discussed but it was decided that further analysis would be done before proceeding with additional tests.

     It is our intention to proceed with further testing upon a future date. At the present time no finances are being allotted to this project.

     Marketing of Micro-Technologies

     The Oil/Water Separator, the Jet Pump, and the Tank Cleaner represent micro-technologies that have been developed out of larger projects. It is our intention to market the micro-technologies as a source of revenue. We intend to bring these micro-technologies to market as soon as the sales force and manufacturing sub-contractor personnel are in place. As these technologies have been utilized before, albeit on a small scale, the limiting factor is the sales personnel placing this in the field to further prove the economic benefits of these units.

     Revenues from Product Sales

     The majority of our products continue to be at the development stage and therefore are not producing revenues at this time.

     We do not intend to commit to any expenditures of any other nature, beyond expenditures necessary for the development and maintenance of our technologies, in the near future.

     We anticipate that in the near future the oil-water separator will be our primary source of revenue with the upgrader being the largest potential contributor in the medium to long-term. The jet pump and tank de-sanding technology will be pursued by us to develop revenue as quickly as possible.

     Geographic Markets

     100% of our revenues in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 were from Canada.

     Intellectual Property Rights

     We have 16 patent applications under review in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru and Europe and have been granted 4 US patents (Patent nos. 6,074,549; 6,527,960; 6,588,601 and 6,125,865). In addition, Russian patent, Patent no. 2,339,938, has been licensed to us. We either own or license the rights to all intellectual properties used in our products.

     We have copyright and patent rights, which are necessary and contribute significantly to the preservation of our competitive position in the market. There can be no assurance that any of these patents and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by third parties. In the future, we may not be able to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms. We enter into nondisclosure agreements with our suppliers, contractors and employees, as appropriate, so as to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. These measures may not suffice to deter misappropriation or independent third party development of similar technologies, which may adversely affect us.

     Sales, Marketing and Distribution

     We are presently involved in pursuing sales of our Oil/Water Separator Units. It is our intention to apply any monies earned from sales of Oil/Water Separator Units to provide cash flow for our ongoing operations. We are pursuing sales of Oil/Water Separators through the Internet and various engineering firms that deal with oil and gas companies throughout the world. We have entered into 12 contracts in 18 countries to further pursue these sales.

     We are also pursuing testing of a variety of crudes, tar sands and catalysts at our upgrader facility on a fee-for-service basis. We are presently testing crude oil for a foreign oil company. The results of the test will be determined over the next several weeks. We will be further pursuing sales of jet pumps for steel mills and other potential markets.

     We sold a jet pump unit to a Canadian steel mill in 2002 for $70,000 (this cost is not shown as revenue in the Consolidated Financial Statements, but is offset against Engineering and Equipment costs).

     We intend to market our products and license our technology throughout the world’s oil refining industry. To this end, we are currently involved in discussions and negotiations with a refinery in the United States regarding possible testing and purchases of our upgrader technology. However, we have not restricted our efforts to North America. We are presently engaged in discussions with refining operations in Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

     During our fiscal year 2002, we had two full-time employees and two consultants engaged in sales and marketing products.

     Competition

     We are aware that several other companies may be presently pursuing the development of technologies in the oil and gas industry. We acknowledge that it is possible that some of these technologies may be similar in nature to our products and technologies. Such companies, should they be involved in selling or developing the same technology as us, may be potential competitors to us.

     Government Regulations

     To management’s knowledge, there are several government regulations with which we must comply. Failure to comply with these regulations could adversely affect our business. Certain government regulations require the imposition of standards that are normally a part of industry knowledge, and as such, would be understood and acted upon by us in the normal course of doing business.

     We, as a producer of technology and intellectual property, are not subject to environmental regulations. We specialize in mechanical processes and as such our operations do not fall within the scope of environmental protection legislation.

     We are subject to securities regulation in the Canadian jurisdictions in which we are an issuer. As an issuer with securities traded on the TSX Venture Exchange, transactions involving the securities of us are subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. We must maintain a level of public disclosure and must maintain minimum listing requirements based on our financial performance, resources and stage of development.

     Plan of Operation

     No material changes are expected in our plan of operations in the fiscal year 2003. We intend to continue to focus on marketing and developing our products in the immediate future.

     To fund our near term working capital requirements, we announced, on September 15, 2003, a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,000,000 units at a price of $0.15 per unit, for gross proceeds of $900,000. These funds are expected to permit us to fulfill our operating and capital demands prior to the realization of operational revenues.

Such risks and uncertainties with respect to us include the effects of general economic conditions, changing foreign exchange rates and actions by government authorities, uncertainties associated with legal proceedings and negotiations, industry supply levels, competitive pricing pressures and misjudgments in the course of preparing forward-looking statements.

     We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

     A. Operating results

     Overview

     Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which conform in all material respects with US generally accepted accounting principles except as disclosed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

     The following discussion and analysis provides a review of activities, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition of us for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (“FY2002”) in comparison with those for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 (“FY2001”) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 in comparison with those for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements.

     We are actively involved in the development and commercial applications of our proprietary technologies. These include specifically the hydrogen addition heavy oil upgrader, two and three phase separators, oil tank maintenance, jet pump technology and oil sands extraction process. Our mini-upgrader facility has been moved to Two Hills, Alberta from Kerrobert, Saskatchewan.

     To September 30, 2003, we have incurred significant operating losses and have a significant working capital deficiency. We have been entering into a “shares for debt” exchange with creditors willing to accept such arrangement. To date in 2003, 3,444,590 common shares have been issued to discharge $709,916 of creditor and contractual liabilities. Additional agreements representing approximately $218,000 of outstanding debt have been entered into since July 2003. These additional agreements will result in the issue of approximately 1,404,000 common shares. These shares for debt arrangements remain subject to formal application filing and therefore subject to regulatory TSX Venture Exchange Approval. The shares will not be issued until that approval has been obtained. No specific number of shares have been reserved for this program, but each transaction must be in accordance with Policy 4.3 — Shares for Debt of the TSX Venture Exchange. Our future is dependent upon our ability to attain commercial operations of our patents and technology rights and our ability to raise sufficient funds through equity issues and other means to pay our ongoing liabilities and to fund capital expenditures.

     Upgrader operations were curtailed in 2002 because of restrictions on testing third party crude oil at the Kerrobert, Saskatchewan location. This prevented us from generating revenue from the testing of third party crude oil in 2002. During 2003 we were able to locate a satisfactory site at Two Hills, Alberta. This site is within 120 kilometres of Edmonton, Alberta. This site has power and gas readily available. Recovery of the upgrader and related patents and technology rights costs remain uncertain. Recovery of these costs depends on the sale of commercial applications of the upgrader patents and technology rights and ultimately attaining profitable operations.

     Losses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $2,977,152, up from the prior year’s losses. During 2002, we realized only $30,100 in revenues as opposed to recognizing $1,124,343 during 2001. Expenses in 2002 were $3,007,252, a $642,319 reduction from the previous year’s figure of $3,649,571. The loss in 2002 increased by $851,924 to $2,977,152.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we have losses of $3,200,758, increased from the loss amount of $1,900,489 in the corresponding period in the prior year.

Results of Operations — Year Ended December 31, 2002

     Expenses

     Administration expenses of $1,334,443 were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2002 and upgrader expenses were $712,393. During the same period in 2001 administration expenses of $368,170 were incurred as were upgrader expenses of $2,382,586. During 2002, the upgrader was idle and was relocated from Kerrobert, Saskatchewan to Two Hills, Alberta. During 2001, while the upgrader was at Kerrobert, certain engineering-related expenses were included in “upgrader expenses” as the entire contingent of technical support was on-site. In 2002, all of these administrative engineering-related expenses were included in administration.

     Aggregate administrative expenses of $1,334,443 were incurred as follows: $263,525 went to office expense including rent, telephones, utilities, travel etc.; $152,968 went to legal costs related to private placements, patent protection and various contracts; and $133,688 was incurred for accounting and other professional fees. Shareholder service costs for exchanges and registrations fees were $34,540. Total salaries of $478,680 were paid to our full-time staff (the Chairman and President did not receive any financial remuneration: directors and directors fulfilling offices and providing services to us are compensated through additional stock options). Business development costs was $154,407 with insurance costing $64,761. The remainder of the costs were for shareholder services and consultants.

     The upgrader costs were primarily for moving, refurbishing, dismantling and reassembly of the upgrader and adjoining hydrogen production facility.

     Acquisitions

     In January 2002, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Hydrogen Solutions Inc., a private company holding rights for certain applications to a process for the production of hydrogen from water. The purchase price was $2,205,000, being 10,500,000 common shares at $0.21 per share. In addition, we granted the seller a 32.5% royalty on the future net operating income relating to hydrogen production. The value of the common shares was determined based on the market price of the common shares on the date of the agreement and announcement of the terms of the acquisition.

     In March 2002, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Crystal Clear Solutions Inc., a private company owned by an employee holding patents in oil-water separator and a pilot separator facility. The purchase price was $154,000, being 700,000 of our common shares issued at $0.22 per share. The value of the common shares was determined based on the market price of the common shares on the date of the agreement and announcement of the terms of the acquisition.

     No independent appraisals were performed when the patent rights were acquired.

Results of Operations — Nine Months ended September 30, 2003

     Overview

     During the nine months ending September 30, 2003, we focused our efforts on securing a commercial application for our heavy oil upgrading technology and raising capital to fund operations by way of capital stock private placements.

17


Table of Contents

     Expenses

     Administration expenses were higher during the nine month period ending September 30, 2003, at $1,358,002 than the same period the year before. As has been discussed in reference to the year end results, the difference in expenses is directly related to the fact that the upgrader had down-time during 2003. When the upgrader is running, staff works at the upgrader site, thereby reducing administration expense and increasing upgrader costs.

     Marketing and development costs relating to our technologies, classified as upgrader costs, incurred were $346,812. For the same period the previous year the costs for the pilot upgrader were lower, at $59,822.

     B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

     To date we have not attained commercial operations from our various patents and technology rights. Our future depends upon our ability to complete field tests of the upgrader, complete further field tests of the generation of hydrogen from water, complete field test of our three phase oil-water separator, raise sufficient capital to fund operating and capital expenditures and ultimately attain profitable operations. A failure to continue as a going concern would require that stated amounts of assets and liabilities be reflected on a liquidation basis, which would differ from the going concern basis.

     On June 4, 2003, we concluded an arrangement with our note holder that extended the maturity date of the $2,300,000 secured term loan to January 12, 2005 from December 31, 2002. In the event that the proceeds of the most recent private placement of treasury stock are insufficient to permit us to conduct our affairs prior to the realization of sufficient operational revenues, we will enter into further private placements of treasury stock.

     Our cash flow from operations for the nine month period ending September 30, 2003 was negative $1,819,549 and is expected to be negative in the near term. We propose to fund our future capital expenditures and our working capital deficiency and future debt repayment through capital stock offerings and by generating revenue through the sale of technologies or royalties. We have not yet been successful in commercializing our products.

     We are completing a private placement of up to 7,000,000 common share units at a price of $0.15 per unit. Officers and directors are participating in the private placement. Each unit consists of one common share and three-tenths of one non-transferable warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at the exercise price of $0.20 for a period of two years. These funds are expected to permit us to fulfill our operating and capital demands prior to the realization of operational revenues. At September 30, the issue was fully subscribed but had not yet closed.

     At September 30, 2003, we had a working capital deficiency of $352,327. Included in the deficiency figure is $85,191 due to a company controlled by Thomas Bugg, one of our officers and directors, who has indicated that payment, in the near term, will not be demanded.

     We do not presently plan to conduct any major research and development, but will continue to refine and fine tune our present complement of technologies.

     There are no confirmed purchases or sales of plant and equipment.

     C. Research and development, patents and licenses, etc.

Prior to the beginning of 2002, we were accounted for as being in the pre-production phase of operations and all expenditures relating to our technologies were capitalized. Beginning in 2002, only renewals and betterments to the technologies are capitalized.

     D. Trend information.

     Canada ratified the Kyoto Accord in December 2002, which undertakes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to six per cent below 1990 levels by 2012. In this regard the Canadian government has committed $1.7 billion over five years to support partnership, innovation and targeted measures to promote energy efficiency, renewable energy and alternative energy sources. This commitment will promote the pursuit of cleaner fossil fuels and will support technologies that allow for greater energy efficiency and environmentally benign production. The current business environment in which the Corporation operates and to which our technologies apply is extremely favourable and once the technologies are proven on a large-scale basis, the ability to raise capital at progressive prices will increase.

     We believe that progress towards commercialization of our technologies will result in providing the capital necessary to emerge from our historical financial predicament and attain profitable operations. As progress toward commercialization of the Corporation’s technologies has unfolded, increasing amounts of capital have been raised. During 2000, proceeds from capital stock aggregated $868,960. During 2001, capital stocks proceeds were $1,280,882 and the Corporation entered into a Note Payable in the amount of $2,300,000. To the end of September 30, 2003 capital stock issued for cash and debt totals $1,315,588 and an open private placement in the amount of $900,000 has been undertaken. To support our ongoing marketing efforts, all discretionary expenses are thoroughly scrutinized and non-essential expenditures have been eliminated.

     C. Board practices.

     Directors are elected annually to the Board at our Annual General Meeting. No Director has a service contract with us.

     Duties and Obligations of the Board of Directors

     The general duty of our Board of Directors is to oversee the management of our business and affairs. In particular, the Board of Directors is responsible for the following matters:

     (a) adopting a strategic planning process which establishes our long-term goals and strategies, and monitoring the success of our management in achieving those goals and implementing the strategy;

     (b) identifying the principal risks with respect to all aspects of our business, ensuring that there are systems in place to effectively monitor and manage such risks with a view to our long-term viability, and achieving a proper balance between the risks incurred and the potential return to our members;

     (c) engaging in succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management (which includes ensuring that objectives are in place against which management’s performance can be measured), establishing and maintaining programs to train and develop management, providing for the orderly succession of management, and assessing the performance and contribution of our Chief Executive Officer against mutually established objectives;

     (d) ensuring that we have a policy in place to enable us to communicate effectively with our shareholders, other stakeholders and the general public, effectively interpreting our operations to shareholders, accommodating feedback from shareholders, and ensuring that there are effective controls and information systems in place for the Board of Directors to discharge its responsibilities, such as an audit system which can inform the Board of Directors about the integrity of the data and the compliance of the financial information with appropriate accounting principles.

     Composition of the Board of Directors

     The Board of Directors is currently composed of five persons: Thomas Bugg, Harley Mintz, David Lifschultz, Lawrence Lifschultz and John O’Donnell. All of the directors other than Mr. Bugg and Mr. David Lifschultz are considered by the Board to be unrelated directors. The Toronto Stock Exchange Guidelines describe an “unrelated director” as a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to our best interests, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholdings. In determining whether a director is an unrelated director, the Board considers, for example, whether the director has a relationship that could, or could be perceived to, interfere with the director’s ability to objectively assess the performance of management. On this basis, Thomas Bugg, by reason of his office as President and Chief Operating Officer, and David Lifschultz, by reason by his shareholdings (20.5%) and his office as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, are considered related directors.

     Committees of the Board of Directors

     There are currently two committees of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee is comprised of three directors, one of whom is also an officer. The Compensation Committee is comprised all five directors. The mandate and activities of each committee are as follows:

     Audit Committee: The Audit Committee currently consists of John O’Donnell, Harley Mintz and David Lifschultz. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include:

     (a) assisting the directors with meeting their responsibilities with respect to financial reporting;

23


Table of Contents

     (b) reviewing and reporting to the Board of Directors on all audited financial statements we prepare and enhancing the credibility and objectivity of all financial reports;

     (c) reviewing with management and with the external auditor any proposed changes in major accounting policies, in the presentation and impact of significant risks and uncertainties, and in key estimates and judgments of management that may be material to financial reporting;

     (d) questioning management and the external auditor regarding significant financial reporting issues discussed during the fiscal period and the method of resolution;

     (e) reviewing any problems experienced by the external auditor in performing the audit, including any restrictions imposed by management or significant accounting issues on which there was a disagreement with management; and

     (f) reviewing the post-audit or management letters containing the recommendations of the external auditor and management’s response, and following up any identified weaknesses.

     Compensation Committee: The Compensation Committee currently consists of Thomas Bugg, Harley Mintz, David Lifschultz, Lawrence Lifschultz and John O’Donnell. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to review the adequacy and form of compensation of directors, senior management, and to supervise the administration of the employees’ stock option plan.

     Decisions Requiring the Prior Approval of the Board of Directors

     Each committee of the Board of Directors makes recommendations to the Board on an ongoing basis. Generally, recommendations from a committee of the Board of Directors require the approval of the full Board before they are implemented.

     D. Employees.

     At March 31, 2003, there were a total of 11 employees working for us. We have no labor unions and no temporary staff.

     E. Share ownership.

     There were 141,948,050 common shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2002 and 151,401,139 common shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2003. Information as to share and option information for directors, officers and key employees are discussed above in “Item 6. A Directors and Senior Management” and in “Item 6. B Compensation.”

     We have established a stock option plan with the objective of advancing our interests by encouraging and enabling the acquisition of a share interests by our directors, officers, employees and consultants, in accordance with the policies and rules of the applicable regulatory authorities. Information as to the details of our stock option plan are discussed in “Item 10.A Stock option plans”.

Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions

     A. Major shareholders.

     The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2003, with respect to each person known to us to own more than 5% of our common shares. As used in this table, “beneficial ownership” means the sole or shared power to vote or direct the voting or to dispose or direct the disposition of any security. For purposes of this table, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired within 60 days from March 31, 2002, through the exercise of any option or warrant. Shares subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of the person holding

     David Lifschultz exercises control over an additional 2,501,857 common shares as a trustee and through a company which he owns.

     David Lifschultz has acquired his shareholdings during the past three years through companies under his control and personally by way of a series of purchases on the open market and private placement subscriptions made for the purpose of providing financial assistance to us so as to ensure we continue to meet our financial obligations.

     To the best of our knowledge, we are not directly owned or controlled by another corporation, by any foreign government or by any natural or legal person.

     B. Related party transactions.

     The following is a description of the related party transactions that have occurred during the preceding three financial years.

     During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 Geopetrol Resources Ltd., a company controlled by officer and director Thomas Bugg, provided technical and administrative services to us. No fees were charged for these services.

     In May 2003, we issued 640,800 common shares ranging from $0.10 to $0.13 per share to pay $78,456 of accounts payable. Of the shares issued, 192,307 were issued to Lourenco Technology Corp., a company controlled by Jose Lourenco, an officer of us, and 74,208 were issued to Lifschultz Terminal Leasing, a company controlled by director David Lifschultz.

     In March 2003, we issued 1,553,790 common shares ranging from $0.10 to $0.18 per share to pay $281,460 of accounts payable. Of the shares issued, 313,860; 303,765; and 74,208 were issued to an employee, Paul Costinel; to Lourenco Technology Corp., a company controlled by Jose Lourenco, an officer; and to Lifschultz Terminal Leasing, a company controlled by David Lifschultz, a director, respectively.

     In 2002 Geopetrol Resources Ltd, Environmental Technologies Inc, Geopetrol International Ltd and Western Tire Shredders Inc. advanced us $4,802 (2001 - $28,459; 2000 — $51,930). Thomas Bugg controls all three companies.

     In 2000 we paid $23,094,368 to Beau Canada by the issuance of 10,000,000 of our common shares and a 3% royalty on our future revenues. As a result, the $23,093,369 liability to Beau Canada was reflected as $2,000,000 of share capital and $21,093,369 of contributed surplus. Currently there is no affiliation between Beau Canada and us.

     In 2002, 2001 and 2000, Geopetrol Resources Ltd., a company controlled officer and director Thomas Bugg, provided technical and administrative services to us. No fees were charged for these services.

     In 2000 Beau Canada advanced $8,407,783 (1999 — $12,852,753) to fund activities, charged management fees of $321,000 (1999 — $642,000) and charged interest of $nil (1999 — $501,748).

     In May 2000 we sold a subsidiary to Beau Canada for cash consideration of $1,400,000. The transaction, measured at the exchange amount, approximates fair value.

     In August 2000 Beau Canada distributed 61,600,000 shares of us (our entire holdings) to the shareholders of Beau Canada.

     There are no other related party transactions other than those described above.

     Transactions with Affiliates, Directors or Officers

     Our policy for transactions with affiliates is that they must be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

     In the case of transactions involving a director, any of our directors who, in any way, whether directly or indirectly, has an interest in a proposed contract or transaction with us, must disclose the nature and extent of his interest to our Board and abstain from voting on the approval of the proposed contract or transaction. If he or she fails to do so, he or she must account to us for any profit made as a consequence of entering into the contract or transaction, unless the contract was fair and reasonable to us at the time it was entered into, and after full disclosure of the nature and extent of his or her interest, it is approved by our shareholders by way of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at a duly convened shareholders’ meeting. In addition, any of our directors and officers who holds any office or possesses any property whereby, whether directly or indirectly, duties or interests might be created in conflict with his or her duties or interests as a director or officer, must disclose that fact and the nature and extent of the conflict. In the case of a director, the disclosure must be made at a Board meeting.

     In the case of transactions involving an officer, the disclosure must be made in writing to our President. Since our President is required by law to be a director, his or her disclosure is required to be made at a Board meeting.

     C. Interests of experts and counsel.

     Not applicable.

     We do not hold any shares of our capital stock as Treasury stock.

     Warrants

     During 1999, we issued 12,000,000 share purchase warrants in connection with a private placement. Each share purchase warrant allows the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The warrants expire on February 12, 2004. Proceeds of $4,600,000 from the issuance of 23,000,000 shares and 11,500,000 warrants were used to retire debt.

     To date, 237,500 share purchase warrants have been exercised. At December 31, 2002, there are 11,262,500 outstanding share purchase warrants that may still be exercised.

     No one has preferential subscription rights to the capital.

     Stock option plans

     We have established a stock option plan with the objective of advancing the interests of us by encouraging and enabling the acquisition of a share interests in us by our directors, officers, employees and consultants, in accordance with the policies and rules of the applicable regulatory authorities (the “Option Plan”). Pursuant to the Option Plan, the Board may, by resolution, grant to our directors, officers, employees and consultants options to purchase common shares (the “Options”). The exercise price at which Common Shares may be purchased pursuant to an Option Plan is established by the Board at the time such Option is granted, subject to the regulatory requirements of applicable regulatory authorities. The term and vesting conditions of each Option may be fixed by the Board when the Option is granted, but the term may not exceed 10 years from the date upon which the Option is granted. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to Options granted under the Plan is presently fixed at 10,000,000 and the maximum number of Common Shares that may be options to any one person at any one time is 5% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding on the date of

29


Table of Contents

the grant. Both the number of Common Shares under option and the exercise price of Options may be adjusted upon the occurrence of any one of a number of specified dilutive or anti-dilutive events.

     As of December 31, 2002, a total of 9,499,998 common shares are available for granting under the plan. Any shareholder who is an insider or an associate of an insider is not permitted to vote on such resolution. The exercise price of options granted pursuant to the plans may not be less than the market price of the common shares at the time of the grant.

     We have 9,320,002 options outstanding at December 31, 2002, of which approximately 3,000,000 options are held by employees and the remainder are held by the Directors and external third parties.

     B. Memorandum and articles of association.

     We resulted from the amalgamation under the Canada Business Corporations Act of Genoil Inc. and Continental Fashions Group Inc., a public company whose shares traded on the Alberta Stock Exchange. At the time of the merger CFG had no assets, no liabilities and did not carry on any business. We were incorporated in April of 1996 under Certificate of Incorporation no. 324649-3. In June of 1996, we amended and altered our Memorandum and Articles of Association. This amendment was made to facilitate a reorganization of our share capital in accordance with the amalgamation referenced above.

     The Memorandum and Articles of Association are subject to all the provisions of the Canadian Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”). The CBCA provides that a company incorporated under that Act has all the powers and capacities of a natural person. The CBCA further stipulates that a company must not carry on a business that our articles prohibit. Thus, we have the power and capacity of a natural person.

     The following brief description of provisions of the CBCA, our amended and restated articles of incorporation and by-laws do not purport to be complete and are subject in all respects to the provisions of the CBCA, our restated articles of incorporation and by-laws.

     Directors’ Conflicts of Interest

     Section 120 of the CBCA requires every director who is, in any way, directly or indirectly, interested in one of our proposed material contracts or transactions, to disclose the nature and extent of the director’s interest in writing or by requesting to have it entered in the minutes of the meeting of directors or of meetings of committees of directors:

     The CBCA further provides that a director or officer who is required to disclose an interest may not vote on any resolution to approve the contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction, (i) relates primarily to the director’s or officer’s remuneration as one of our directors, officers, employees or agents or that of an affiliate, (ii) is for indemnity or insurance for the director against liability incurred by the director or officer acting in his or her capacity as a director or officer, or (iii) is with an affiliate.

     Borrowing Powers

     Section 3.1 of the by-laws of us state that the board of directors has the borrowing powers provided by the law.

     Directors

     The number of directors shall be not less than one and not more than nine. The number of directors may be determined from time to time by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders passed at a duly convened general meeting. A director is not required to own any of our shares to be qualified to serve as a director. A director is not required to retire under any age-limit requirement.

     Upon the termination of each annual general meeting, all the directors are deemed to retire. The number of directors to be elected at any such meeting will be the number of directors then in office unless the directors or shareholders otherwise determine.

     If the shareholders remove any director before the expiration of his or her period of office and appoint another person in his or her place, that person so appointed shall hold office only during the remainder of the time that the director in whose place he or she is appointed would have held the office if he or she had not been removed. If the shareholders do not appoint another director to replace the removed director the vacancy may be filled by the directors.

     The directors, or any committee of directors, may take any action required or permitted to be taken by them and may exercise any of the authorities, powers and discretions for the time being vested in or exercisable by them by

31


Table of Contents

way of a resolution either passed at a meeting at which a quorum is present or consented to in writing under the applicable section of the CBCA.

     The directors may appoint a president, one or more vice-presidents, a secretary, a treasurer and other officers as determined by the board, including assistants to the board. The directors may specify the duties of and delegate powers to manage the business and affairs of us to these officers. We may also appoint a chairman of the board, who must also be a director, and assign the powers and duties assigned to the managing director or president, under the by-laws, or other powers and duties.

     Rights Attached to Shares

     The following is a description of the rights, preferences, and restrictions attached to each class of our shares:

     (a) Unlimited Common shares — Each Common share carries the right to one vote at any meeting of our shareholders. Dividends are payable on the Common shares in the discretion of the Board of Directors. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of us or any distribution of our assets for the purpose of winding up our affairs, the Common shares shall be entitled to receive our remaining property. The Common shares are not redeemable at our option or at the option of the holders. There are no sinking fund provisions respecting the Common shares. The holders of the Common shares are not liable for any further capital calls on such shares.

     Alteration of the Rights of Shareholders

     No rights, privileges or restrictions attached to our common shares may be altered except with the approval by resolution passed by the vote of the holders of not less than 75% of the votes in value of the voting shares then outstanding and of at least 75% in value of shares of a class or series of shares.

     There are no limitations in our charter on the rights of non-resident or foreign owners to hold Common Shares of us.

     Shareholders’ Meetings

     The CBCA requires the directors to call an annual general meeting of shareholders not later than fifteen months after the last annual general meeting and no later than six months after the end of our preceding financial year. The directors may, whenever they think fit, convene an special meeting.

     Notice of a meeting must specify the time and place of a meeting, and, in case of special business, the general nature of that business and the text of any resolution. The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting to, or the non-receipt of any notice by any of the shareholders entitled to receive notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

     All business that is transacted at a special meeting, an annual meeting of shareholders, with the exception of consideration of the financial statement, auditor’s report election of directors, re-appointment of the incumbent auditor is deemed to be special business.

     Our Articles stipulate that business shall be conducted at any general meeting if there is quorum present at the opening of the meeting notwithstanding that there ceases to be a quorum present throughout the meeting. A quorum is shareholders entitled to vote or proxyholders thereof representing more than 10% of our outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

     The Articles stipulate that the Chairman of the Board, or in his absence, our Managing Director, or in his absence our President shall preside as chairman of every general meeting.

     Unless the directors otherwise determine, the instrument appointing a proxyholder shall be deposited at a place specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting, not less than forty-eight hours before the time for holding the meeting at which the proxyholder proposes to vote.

32


Table of Contents

     Notice of every general meeting should be sent to:

     (a) each director;

     (b) our auditor;

     (c) every shareholder entered in the securities registrar as the holder of a share or shares carrying the right to vote at such meetings on the record date or, if no record date was established by the directors, on the date of mailing such notice; and

     (d) every person upon whom the ownership of a share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a shareholder where the shareholder, but for his death or bankruptcy, would be entitled to vote.

     No other person is entitled to receive notice of general meetings.

     C. Material contracts.

     We have entered into no material contracts in the ordinary course of business for the two years preceding this registration statement.

     D. Exchange controls.

     There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of Shares, other than withholding tax requirements. See “Taxation.”

     E. Taxation.

     We have provided the following summary of the material Canadian federal and U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable in respect of the holding or disposing of common shares. This summary does not address all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our common shares. There may be provincial, territorial, state and local taxes applicable to a potential shareholder, depending on the shareholder’s particular circumstances, which are not addressed in this summary. The tax consequences to any particular holder, including a U.S. Holder of common shares (defined below) will vary according to the status of that holder as an individual, trust, corporation, or member of a partnership, the jurisdiction in which the holder is subject to taxation, the place where the holder is resident and generally, according to the holder’s particular circumstances.

     U.S. Holder of Common Shares

     References to a “U.S. Holder of common shares” in this section include individuals, corporations, trusts or estates who are holders of Common Shares and who:

    for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended by the protocol signed on July 29, 1997, (the “Treaty”) are residents of the U.S. and have never been residents of Canada;

    for purposes of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) are U.S. persons;

    deal at arm’s length with us for purposes of the ITA;

    will hold the common shares as capital property for purposes of the ITA;

    will hold the common shares as capital assets for purposes of the Code;

33


Table of Contents

    do not and will not hold the common shares in carrying on a business in Canada;

    will not perform independent personal services from a fixed base situated in Canada; and

    are not or will not be subject to special provisions of Canadian or U.S. federal income tax law, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, financial institutions, real estate investment trusts, shareholders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders that own shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity, shareholders that hold shares as part of a straddle, hedge or conversion transaction, tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, insurance companies, shareholders who acquired their shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and mutual fund companies.

     The following summary of Canadian federal and U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a U.S. Holder of our common shares is based on the following, as at the time of this statement:

    the ITA and the Income Tax Regulations (Canada) (the “Regulations”);

    published proposals to amend the ITA and the Regulations;

    published administrative positions and practices of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (the “CCRA”);

    the Code;

    Treasury Regulations;

    published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings;

    published administrative positions of the IRS;

    published jurisprudence that is considered applicable; and

    the Treaty.

     All of the foregoing are subject to material or adverse change, on a prospective or retroactive basis, at any time. The tax laws of the various provinces or territories of Canada and the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions of the U.S. are not considered in this summary.

     This summary is not exhaustive of all possible income tax consequences. The following discussion is for general information only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of our common shares and no opinion or representation with respect to any such holder or prospective holder with respect to the income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, it is recommended that holders and prospective holders of our common shares consult their own tax advisors about the Canadian federal and provincial and U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our common shares.

Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

Disposition of Common Shares

     A U.S. Holder of common shares will not be subject to tax in Canada under the ITA on capital gains realized on the disposition of such Common Shares unless the shares are “taxable Canadian property.” Such common shares will be taxable Canadian property if, in general, at any time during the sixty month period immediately preceding the disposition, 25% or more of our issued shares of any class (or an option to acquire 25% or more of the issued shares

34


Table of Contents

of any class) were owned by such holder, or by such holder and persons with whom such holder did not deal at arm’s length. If our shares are taxable Canadian property to a U.S. Holder of common shares, 50% of any resulting capital gain realized on the disposition of such shares may be subject to tax in Canada. However, the Treaty provides that gains realized by a U.S. Holder of common shares on the disposition of shares of a Canadian corporation will be exempt from federal tax in Canada unless the value of the Canadian corporation is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

Dividend Distributions on our Shares

     Dividends paid on our common shares held by a U.S. Holder of common shares will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax. We are required to withhold taxes at source. Under the Treaty, a withholding rate of 5% is applicable to corporations resident in the United States and who are beneficial owners of at least 10% of the voting shares of us. Under the Treaty, a withholding rate of 15% is applicable in all other cases.

     United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

     The U.S. federal income tax consequences related to the disposition and ownership of common shares, subject to the Foreign Personal Holding Company Rules, Passive Foreign Investment Company and Controlled Foreign Corporation Rules contained in the Code, are generally as follows:

Disposition of Common Shares

     On a disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder of common shares generally will recognize a gain or loss. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and the U.S. Holder of common share’s adjusted tax basis in those shares. Any such gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder has held the shares for more than one year. Otherwise the gain or loss will be a short-term capital gain or loss. However, a gain realized on the disposition of common shares may be treated as ordinary income if the company was a “collapsible corporation” within the meaning of the Code. The gain or loss will generally be a U.S. source gain or loss.

     A collapsible corporation is usually formed to give a short-term venture the appearance of a long-term investment in order to portray income as capital gain rather than profit. Such a corporation is typically formed for the sole purpose of purchasing property and usually dissolved before the property has generated substantial income. The Internal Revenue Service treats the income earned through a collapsible corporation as ordinary income rather than as capital gain.

Dividend Distributions on Shares

     Dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) paid by us will be required to be included in the income of a U.S. Holder of common shares to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (“E&P”) attributable to the distribution without reduction for any Canadian withholding tax withheld from such distributions. Even if such payment is in fact not converted to U.S. dollars, the amount of any cash distribution paid in Canadian dollars will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollars on the date of distribution based on the exchange rate on such date. To the extent distributions we pay on the common shares exceed our current or accumulated E&P, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to a shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares and then as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the shares.

     Dividends paid on the common shares generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received” deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain U.S. corporations. These dividends generally may be subject to backup withholding tax, unless a U.S. Holder of common shares furnishes us with a duly completed and signed Form W-9. The U.S. Holder of common shares will be allowed a refund or a credit equal to any amount withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules against the U.S. Holder of common share’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the shareholder furnishes the required information to the IRS.

Table of Contents

Foreign Tax Credit

     A U.S. Holder of common shares will generally be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction in an amount equal to the Canadian tax withheld. Dividends paid by us generally will constitute foreign source dividend income and “passive income” for purposes of the foreign tax credit, which could reduce the amount of foreign tax credits available to shareholders. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit. The U.S. holders of common shares should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Foreign Personal Holding Company Rules

     Special U.S. tax rules apply to a shareholder of a foreign personal holding company (“FPHC”). We would be classified as a FPHC in any taxable year if both of the following tests are satisfied:

    at least 60% of our gross income consists of “foreign personal holding company income”, which generally includes passive income such as dividends, interest, royalties, gains from shares and commodity transactions and rents; and

    more than 50% of the total voting power of all classes of voting shares or the total value of outstanding shares is owned directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals who are U.S. citizens or residents.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

     Special U.S. tax rules apply to a shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”). We could be classified as a PFIC if, after the application of certain “look through” rules, for any taxable year, either:

    75% or more of our gross income for the taxable year is “passive income,” which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties; or

    the average quarterly percentage, by fair market value of our assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income” is 50% or more of the fair market value of all of our assets.

     To the extent we own at least 25% by value of the shares of another corporation, we are treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning our proportionate share of the assets of such corporation, and as receiving directly our proportionate share of the income of such corporation.

     Distributions which constitute “excess distributions” from a PFIC and dispositions of common shares of a PFIC are subject to the following special rules:

    the excess distributions (generally any distributions received by a U.S. Holder of common shares on the shares in any taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder of Common Shares in the three preceding taxable years, or the U.S. Holder of common share’s holding period for the shares, if shorter) or gain would be allocated on a pro rata basis over a U.S. Holder of common share’s holding period for the shares;

    the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income in the current taxable year; and

    the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to the highest rate of tax on ordinary income in effect for that year and to an interest charge based on the value of the tax deferred during the period during which the shares are owned.

     U.S. Holders of common shares who actually or constructively own shares in a PFIC may be eligible to make certain elections which require them to include income for the PFIC on an annual basis.

Controlled Foreign Corporation Rules

     Generally, if more than 50% of the voting power or total value of all classes of our shares are owned, directly or indirectly, by U.S. shareholders, who individually own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares, we could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would require such 10% or greater shareholders to include in income their pro rata shares of our “Subpart F Income,” as defined in the Code. In addition, a gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder of common shares who is or was a 10% or greater shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange will be deemed ordinary dividend income to the extent that our E&P is attributable to the shares sold or exchanged.

     F. Dividends and paying agents.

     Although there are no dividend restrictions, we have neither declared nor paid dividends on any of our outstanding common shares, and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our earnings, capital requirements and financial position, as well as any other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

     G. Statement by experts.

     Not applicable.

     H. Documents on display.

AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Genoil Inc. as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated statements of loss, deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Comments by Auditor on Canada — United States Reporting Differences

United States reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in note 1 to the financial statements. Although we conducted our audit in accordance with both Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and United States generally accepted auditing standards, our report to the directors dated June 4, 2003 (except for note 15, which is dated November 25, 2003) is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

General:

    Genoil Inc. (the “Corporation”) is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is a technology development company in the oil and gas industry.

1.   Going concern:

    To date the Corporation has not attained commercial operations from its various patents and technology rights. The principal and interest owed to a note holder was overdue until June 4, 2003 (see note 5). The future of the Corporation is dependent upon its ability to maintain the continued financial support of the note holder, and obtain adequate additional financing to fund the development of commercial operations from its various patents and technology rights. These consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis that the Corporation will continue to operate throughout the next fiscal period to September 30, 2004 as a going concern. A failure to continue as a going concern would require that stated amounts of assets and liabilities be reflected on a liquidation basis, which would differ from the going concern basis.

2.   Significant accounting policies:

    These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which, in the case of the Corporation, differ in certain respects from those in the United States. These differences are described in note 14, Differences between accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and the United States.

    The preparation of financial statements 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

  (a)   Basis of presentation:

    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and include the results of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

    Since a determination of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is dependent upon future events, the preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions, which have been made using careful judgment.

    The financial statements included the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, CE3 Technologies Inc. (“CE3”), until it was placed into receivership in October 2000.

(All amounts in Canadian dollars)

  (b)   Inventory:

    Inventories of material are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

  (c)   Upgrader and office equipment:

    The pilot upgrader and office equipment are recorded at cost. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the following methods and annual rates:

         
Pilot upgrader   10% declining balance
Office equipment and furniture   20% straight line

  (d)   Patents and technology rights:

    Patents are recorded at cost and are amortized over ten years on a declining basis. Pending patent costs are not amortized until the patents are registered.

    Technology rights are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.

    The Corporation periodically reviews the valuation and amortization of the patents and technology rights, taking into consideration any events and circumstances which might have impaired the value. The Corporation assesses impairment by determining whether the unamortized balance can be recovered from estimates of expected undiscounted cash flows related to patent and technology rights use.

  (e)   Foreign currency translation:

    Accounts of foreign operations, which are considered financially and operationally integrated, are translated to Canadian dollars using average rates for the year for revenue and expenses, except depreciation and amortization which are translated at the rate of exchange applicable to the related assets. Gains or losses resulting from these translation adjustments are included in earnings. Monetary assets are translated at current exchange rates and non-monetary assets are translated using historical rates of exchange.

(All amounts in Canadian dollars)

  (f)   Stock-based compensation:

    The Corporation has a stock option plan as described in note 7.

    The Corporation does not record compensation expense on the granting of stock options to directors, officers and employees. Consideration received on the exercise of such options is recorded as share capital. The Corporation uses the fair value based method of accounting for all other stock-based payments.

    Prior to January 1, 2002, no compensation cost was recognized when stock options were granted to directors, officers, employers and consultants. Consideration received on the exercise of such options was recorded as share capital.

  (g)   Income taxes:

    The Corporation follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, income tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases, using enacted or subsequently enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates on future income tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs.

  (h)   Per share amounts:

    Basic per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Weighted average number of shares is determined by relating the portion of time within the reporting period that common shares have been outstanding to the total time in that period. Diluted per share amounts are calculated based on the treasury-stock method, which assumes that any proceeds obtained on exercise of options would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding is then adjusted by the net change.

3.   Pilot upgrader:

    The pilot upgrader costs are net of accumulated depreciation of $789,663 at September 30, 2003 (December 31, 2002 — $588,813; December 31, 2001 — $286,959).

    At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 the pilot upgrader was idle. Recovery of the upgrader and related patents and technology rights costs remain uncertain. Recovery of these costs depends on the development of commercial applications of the upgrader patents and technology rights and ultimately attaining profitable operations.

(All amounts in Canadian dollars)

4.   Patents and technology rights:

    The patents and technology rights costs are net of accumulated amortization of $181,177 at September 30, 2003 (December 31, 2002 — $130,745; December 31, 2001 — $63,906) and $897,234 (December 31, 2002 — $676,353; December 31, 2001 — $303,344), respectively.

    The patents include fluid gas integration, crude oil and bitumen treatment, oil-water separation and production of hydrogen from water. These patents expire from 2019 to 2021.

    The Corporation has the worldwide rights, except for Europe, for oil-water separation technology. The term of these rights ranges from 5 to 10 years, depending on the country.

    Recovery of the patents and technology rights costs remain uncertain. Recovery of these costs depends on the development of commercial applications of its patents and technology rights and ultimately attaining profitable operations.

    The funds to finance the acquisition of substantially all of the patent and technology rights relating to the pilot upgrader and certain other patent and technology rights were borrowed from an oil and gas producer. The loan is secured by all the assets of the Corporation, has quarterly interest payments at 9% per annum and was overdue on December 31, 2002.

    On June 4, 2003 the note holder agreed to extend the due date to January 12, 2005 on the principal and interest due at March 31, 2003 aggregating $2,651,408. Accordingly, all principal and interest due on September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 has been classified as a long-term liability.

    Reference is made to note 7(e).

6.   Business combinations:

    In January 2002 the Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Hydrogen Solutions Inc., a private company holding rights for certain applications to a process for the production of hydrogen from water. The purchase price was $2,205,000, being 10,500,000 common shares at $0.21 per share. In addition, the Corporation granted the seller a 32.5% royalty on the future net operating income relating to hydrogen production. The value of the common shares was determined based on the market price of the common shares on the date of the agreement and announcement of the terms of the acquisition. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Corporation was assigned a hydrogen production license existing for EHG Technology LLC, which is the exclusive rights to a process for generating hydrogen from water.

    In March 2002 the Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Crystal Clear Solutions Inc., a private company owned by an employee holding patents in oil-water separator and a pilot separator facility. The purchase price was $154,000, being 700,000 common shares of the Corporation issued at $0.22 per share. The value of the common shares was determined based on the market price of the common shares on the date of the agreement and announcement of the terms of the acquisition.

    In June 1999 the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding common shares of CE3, a private company marketing technologies developed to reduce heavy oil production costs, including sand washing, heavy oil field processing and upgrading for cash consideration of $2,246,650. The former shareholders of CE3 were entitled to additional consideration, to a maximum of $8 million per annum, if CE3 reached certain earnings targets in 2000, 2001 and 2002. The obligation to pay any additional consideration was extinguished in full by the issuance of 9,000,000 common shares at an ascribed valuation of $1,800,000. The amount was treated as additional consideration for the acquisition.

  (c)   Reductions in stated capital and contributed surplus: In 1998 the shareholders approved a $17,700,083 reduction in stated capital. As a result, the deficit and capital stock were reduced by this amount.

    In 2001 the shareholders approved a reduction in stated capital. As a result, the deficit was reduced by $36,045,353 and contributed surplus and stock were reduced by $21,094,369 and $14,950,984, respectively.

  (d)   Stock-based compensation:

    The Corporation has a stock option plan for directors, officers, employees and consultants. The term and vesting conditions of each option may be fixed by the board when the option is granted, but the term cannot exceed 10 years from the date upon which the option is granted. The maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the plan is fixed at 10,000,000 and the maximum number of common shares that may be optioned to any one person at any one time is 5% of the total number of common shares issued and outstanding on the date of the grant.

    Changes in the stock options outstanding for each of the two years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are as follows:

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options at September 30, 2003 is 4 years (December 31, 2002 — 3.1 years; December 31, 2001 — 4.3 years). The options granted to consultants vests immediately.

    As the Corporation follows the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based payments to employees, officers and directors, no cost has been recognized for stock-based payments made to employees, officers and directors. Had a cost been recorded for the fair value of stock options granted to employees, officers and directors and the extension of the term of the warrants in 2002, the loss and loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 would be as follows:

                     
        September 30,   December 31,
        2003   2002

As reported
  $ (0.02 )   $ (0.03 )

  $ (0.03 )   $ (0.03 )
 
   
     
 

    The fair value of options granted to directors, officers and employees in 2003 ($890,000) and the 2002 extension of the term of the warrants ($480,000) was estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used: zero dividend yield; expected volatility of 100%; risk-free rates of 3%; and expected life of five years.

    The Corporation has recognized an administration expense of $211,256, being the fair value of the stock options granted, for options issued to consultants during the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 (2002 - $30,149).

  (e)   Warrants and options:

    At December 31, 2001 the acquirer of the former parent and others held warrants entitling them to purchase 11,737,500 and 11,262,500 shares, respectively at $0.40 per share. During 2001 the warrants were re-priced to $0.10 per share and the expiry date was extended from November 30, 2001 to November 30, 2002. On November 30, 2002, 11,737,500 warrants expired and the term of 11,262,500 warrants was extended to February 12, 2004. Using the Black-Sholes option-pricing model, the estimated fair value of the extension is $480,000.

    In consideration for refinancing the $2,300,000 loan (note 5), the Corporation granted the lender the right to acquire 9,000,000 common shares at $0.20 per share prior to November 14, 2006 and 1,000,000 common shares at $0.50 per share prior to November 14, 2006. Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the estimated fair value of these rights is $1,564,000. This amount will be recognized as a financing cost over the term of the loan.

  (f)   Due to investors:

    Advances from investors totaling $498,186 pursuant to a proposed private placement of common share units at a price of $0.15 per common share unit have been received prior to closing.

  (g)   Per share amounts:

    Per share amounts have been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The weighted average shares outstanding for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was 143,146,721 (December 31, 2002 — 117,468,807; September 30, 2002 — 112,903,572; December 31, 2001 — 98,824,480; December 31, 2000 — 80,350,435).

    In computing diluted earnings per share, no shares were added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 (December 31, 2002 — nil; September 30, 2002 — nil; December 31, 2001 — nil; December 31, 2000 — nil) as they are anti-dilutive.

8.   Due from St. Genevieve:

    In 1997 the Corporation pledged $6.4 million as security against a line of credit in favor of a wholly owned subsidiary of St. Genevieve Resources Ltd. The bank guarantee was drawn upon and the funds pledged in support of the guarantee were withdrawn. In December 1997 the Court appointed a receiver of St. Genevieve and the Corporation agreed to accept a payment of $5,600,000 from St. Genevieve as full settlement of the balance due. Due to the uncertainty of collection, an impairment allowance for the entire amount was taken.

    The Corporation has accumulated Canadian tax pools available for future deductions of $4.1 million at September 30, 2003 (December 31, 2002 — $5.7 million; December 31, 2001 — $4.0 million) and Canadian non-capital losses for income tax purposes amounting to $16.8 million at September 30, 2003 (December 31, 2002 — $13.7 million — December 31, 2001 — $11.8 million). The non-capital losses expire from time to time to 2009. The Corporation has not recorded the benefit on the tax losses.

10.   Commitments:

    The minimum rentals payable under long-term office leases, exclusive of certain operating costs, for which the Corporation is responsible, are as follows:

11.   Related party transactions:

    A company controlled by an officer and director provides technical and administrative services. No fees were charged for these services.

    In 2002 companies controlled by a director and officer and an employee advanced the Corporation $4,802 (2001 — $28,459; 2000 — $51,930). In 2000 the Corporation issued 10,000,000 common shares and granted a 3% royalty on the Corporation’s future revenues. As a result, a $23,094,369 liability to Beau Canada was reflected as $2,000,000 of share capital and $21,094,369 of contributed surplus.

    In 2000 Beau Canada, advanced $8,407,783 to fund activities and charged management fees of $321,000.

    In 2000 the Corporation sold a subsidiary to Beau Canada for cash consideration of $1,400,000. The transaction, measured at the exchange amount, approximates fair value.

    In 2000 Beau Canada distributed 61,600,000 shares of the Corporation (its entire holdings) to the shareholders of Beau Canada.

    In March 2000 the Corporation sold all of its Canadian royalty interests and producing properties to Beau Canada for $1,700,000. The disposition was recorded at the exchange value based on a valuation prepared by management and reviewed by independent petroleum engineers.

    In June 1999 the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding common shares of CE3, a private company developing a sand washing plant. In October 2000, CE3 was put into receivership resulting in a loss of $2,482,093. At the time, construction contractors had first security on the plant and certain other creditors owed approximately $2,000,000 ranked in priority to the Corporation on all other assets. As a result of the receivership, the Corporation initiated actions to obtain value from its secured position. The Corporation acquired all the intellectual property held by CE3 and certain capital assets, including the upgrader, in exchange for $2,000,000 and the elimination of the Corporation’s secured position.

    In December 1999 CE3 entered into an agreement with a public income fund to contract operate a power facility. Under the agreement, CE3 agreed to pay $1.0 million to the fund and was committed to $1.0 million in capital expenditures on the facility. In addition, the Corporation granted the fund 600,000 warrants; each warrant convertible into one common share at an exercise price of $0.40 per share prior to January 1, 2002. CE3 had the right to cancel the agreement before December 30, 2000. The agreement covered five, five-year terms with CE3 having a renewal option. CE3 was to pay annual fees to the fund of $1.8 million in 2000, $2.0 million in 2001, $2.2 million in 2002, $2.4 million in 2003 and $2.4 million plus inflation annually thereafter. The fund had the right to cancel the arrangement on December 31, 2001 if CE3 had not paid $4.2 million by that date. As part of the transaction, CE3 reached an arrangement with the operator of the facility. Under this arrangement, CE3 was the operator of the facility and received 85% of cash flow until all of CE3’s costs had been recovered. After recovery, CE3 was to receive 66.7 % of the cash flow. In July 2000 CE3 agreed to cancel the power plant operating agreement resulting in the write-off of other assets of $1,000,000.

    The power facility transaction was a related party transaction as an officer and director of the Corporation was indebted to the public income fund and this same individual controlled the private company that was the operator of the facility. In addition, a director of the public income fund was a director of the Corporation.

    Administration expenses have not been allocated to the discontinued operations.

13.   Financial instruments:

    The Corporation is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations as certain of its obligations are U.S. dollar denominated. At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 there were no contracts in place to manage this exposure.

    Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time, using specific available information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision. For cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. It has been determined that the fair value of the note payable approximates the carrying value as the note holder agreed to extend the due date with no change in the interest rate.

14.   Differences between accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and the United States:

    The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. These principles differ in certain respects from those applicable under U.S. GAAP. The impact of these differences on the financial statements is summarized below:

    Description of Significant Differences:

  (a)   As disclosed in note 7, commencing in 2002, the Corporation recognized administration expenses for stock options issued to consultants. In prior years, an expense was not recorded under Canadian GAAP; under U.S. GAAP, an expense would have been recorded in the statement of loss.

  (b)   As disclosed in note 7, warrants to purchase shares were re-priced from $0.40 to $0.10 in 2001. This re-pricing would result in a financing cost being recorded under U.S. GAAP.

    As disclosed in note 7, the expiry date of the warrants to purchase shares was extended from November 30, 2002 to February 12, 2004. This extension would also result in a cost being recorded under U.S. GAAP.

  (c)   In 1998, the shareholders approved a $17,700,083 reduction in stated capital. As a result, the deficit and capital stock were reduced by this amount. In 2001 the shareholders approved a reduction in stated capital. As a result, the deficit was reduced by $36,045,353 and contributed surplus and capital stock were reduced by $21,094,369 and $14,950,984, respectively. The $17,700,083 and $36,045,353 elimination of deficits would not be permitted under U.S. GAAP.

    Additional U.S. GAAP Disclosures:

    Stock Option Plan

    FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans as well as transaction in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees. As permitted by FAS 123, the Corporation has elected to follow the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, as provided for in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25. Since all options were granted with exercise prices equal to the market price when the options were granted, no compensation expense has been charged to income at the time of the option grants. Had compensation cost for the Corporation’s stock options been determined based on the fair market value at the grant dates of the awards, and amortized on a straight-line basis, consistent with methodology prescribed by FAS 123, the Corporation’s loss earnings and loss per share for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

    The fair values of all common share options granted were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

    Impairment or Disposal of Long-term Assets

    In August 2001 the FASB issued FAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-term Assets”, which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. FAS 144 supersedes but retains the basic principles of FASB Statement No. 121 for the impairment of assets to be held and used. A two-step process is used to determine the impairment of the Corporation’s long-term assets, other than assets covered by the full cost accounting policy, with the first step determining when impairment is recognized and the second step measuring the amount of the impairment. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the long-lived asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. To test for and measure impairment, long-lived assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent.

    A long-lived asset that meets the conditions as held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Such assets are not amortized while they are classified as held for sale. The results of operations of a component of an entity that has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, is reported in discontinued operations in certain circumstances.

    This standard was adopted prospectively on January 1, 2002. It did not result in any differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP in 2002 for the Corporation.

    Accounting for Guarantees

    In November 2002 the FASB issued Financial Interpretation 45 “Accounting for Guarantees” (“FIN 45”) that will require the recognition of a liability for the fair value of certain guarantees that require payments contingent on specified types of future events. The measurement standards of FIN 45 are applicable to guarantees entered into after January 1, 2003. For guarantees that existed as at December 31, 2002, FIN 45 requires additional disclosures, which have been included in these financial statements to the extent applicable.

    Accounting for Variable Interest Entities

    In January 2003 the FASB issued Financial Interpretation 46 “Accounting for Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) that will require the consolidation of certain entities that are controlled through financial interests that indicate control (referred to as “variable interests”). Variable interests are the rights or obligations that convey economic gains or losses from changes in the values of the entity’s assets or liabilities. The holder of the majority of an entity’s variable interests will be required to consolidate the variable interest entity. The application of FIN 46 will result in the consolidation of any additional entities for the Corporation.

    Future Removal and Site Restoration

    In June 2001 the FASB issued Statement No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FAS 143”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and use of the asset. FAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expenses for U.S. GAAP purposes. The adoption of FAS 143 would not result in a difference between Canadian and U.S. GAAP for the Corporation.

15.   Subsequent events:

    The Corporation has announced its intention to issue up to 7,000,000 common share units at $0.15 per unit under a proposed non-brokered private placement. Officers and directors of the Corporation have stated their intentions to acquire 1,500,000 of these common share units. Each unit will consist of one common share of the Corporation and three-tenths of one non-transferable warrant. Each full warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at the exercise price of $0.20 for a period of two years. The proposed private placement is subject to regulatory approval. This private placement has not closed.
