LOGO] REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS - THIRD QUARTER 2002 CORPORATE SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES The third quarter was the most exciting quarter in your company's history. GEOCAN had very positive results in its international operations and was successful in raising its first new equity since inception. On November 28th the company cased its first exploration well in the Czech Republic. The well known as Postorna 1 is situated on the Breclav block in the Vienna Basin, near the Austrian border. Test results are discussed below. During the quarter the Australian public company, Carpathian Resources Limited, joined GEOCAN and its Czech partners Ceska naftarska spolecnost s.r.o. and Unigeo a.s. in the Breclav joint venture by farming in for 17.65% BPO/15% APO interest. The results of the Postorna 1 well have generated considerable interest within the investment community as well as within international oil and gas circles. On October 25th GEOCAN's wholly owned subsidiary, GEOCAN Energy CZ became fully registered and incorporated in the city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. On December 3, 2001, the company closed the final tranche of its Unit Offering through Research Capital Corporation. The unit was comprised of 2 flow through shares and 1 common share priced at $2.25 per Unit. Gross proceeds of $1,968,255 were raised through the issuance of 2,532,673 flow through and common shares. The proceeds will be used to further the company's ongoing exploration and development activities both in Canada and the Czech Republic. The company now has 7,903,773 basic shares outstanding. In other activities, the company believes that it is nearing the conclusion of the NASD OTC BB 20F approval process and that the 20F application will be approved by fiscal yearend. This U.S. listing should prove invaluable in raising new equity for development of the company's assets and increase investor awareness in the larger United States market. Subsequent to December 31st 2001, a $3,000,000 convertible debenture financing was announced with Paramount Resources Ltd. The debenture bears a 2% interest charge, is for a 2 year period and is convertible at $1.65 per share. In other business, Mr. Walter Kozak and Mr. Steve Krystofiak have joined the team on a consulting basis. Mr. Kozak will assist in the production and engineering departments and brings over 22 years of experience both in Canada and internationally, primarily in Europe. Mr. Krystofiak has over 21 years of geological experience and joins the exploration department, focusing on domestic acquisitions and prospect generation. Finally, Mr. Chris Bloomer joined the GEOCAN board of directors on February 1st, 2002. Chris brings a multifaceted knowledge base to the board with over 20 years of varied oil and gas experience both in Canada and internationally. In January 2002, GEOCAN was recognized as the 22nd fastest growing company in Alberta by Alberta Venture Magazine. A panel comprised of Grant Thornton Chartered Accountants, EPCOR, Alberta Treasury Branches and Fraser Milner Casgrain ranked the submitting companies. Ranking was based on assessed points for categories ranging from sales growth to asset growth to export activities. A feature article on the company is highlighted in the January/February 2002 issue of the magazine and a copy of the text is also available on our website. INTERNATIONAL The first well in the Czech Republic (GEOCAN 64.7% BPO/55% APO W.I.) was drilled in November/December, 2001. The well was cased as a potential oil well and is a new pool discovery. The well encountered an 11m (36 feet) oil zone with 30% average porosity. There was also indications of hydrocarbons in a second zone. No evidence of an oil/water contact or gas/oil contact was found in the wellbore. The main target zone was perforated and the well flowed to surface on cleanup at an extrapolated rate of 16.8 m3/d (105 bopd) at a stable flowing pressure of 6,900 kPa (1000 psi) through a 2mm (5/64") choke. [PHOTO] Postorna 1 drilling - November 2001 Preparations are underway to place the well on production once the required regulatory approvals are received. An environmental study will be required prior to production startup, as per new European Union regulations adopted by the Czech Republic January 1, 2002. Also effective January 1, 2002, petroleum sales in the Czech Republic will be denominated in Euros. Plans are being made to drill two follow up locations in 2002 after a long-term production test at Postorna 1. Plans are also being made for a 3D seismic program for the east half of the Breclav Block to delineate other drilling opportunities. On the 37,000 acre Rostin Block, eight geological leads have been identified based on regional geological mapping. A 2D seismic program is currently being designed to evaluate these prospects. CANADIAN OPERATIONS At Huntoon a development infill well was drilled at 16-12-7-9W2 in December. The well was cased as a potential oil well and will be tied into the GEOCAN Huntoon battery at 11-12-7-9W2. The battery is pipeline connected for oil sales and water disposal. Expected production startup is February 1, 2002. At Tomahawk, 2 wells were recompleted in December 2001. These wells were acquired as part of the Tomahawk Carrot Creek acquisition and were suspended at that time. New zones were recompleted in both wells with testing scheduled for January 2002. FINANCIAL The company produced exit volumes of 340 boepd (barrel of oil equivalent per day, natural gas converted at 6:1) in December, up 53% from 222 boepd for the same period last year. Production was distributed 58% to oil and 42% to natural gas and natural gas liquids during the nine month period. Total company revenues for the first nine months were $2,381,247 based on average nine month prices of $4.00/mcf for natural gas, $33.31/bbl for light oil and $20.50/bbl for heavy oil. This level of revenue is up 37% when compared to $1,734,495 for the same period last year and is greater than last year's total twelve months revenues. Royalty expenses (net of ARTC) were $375,843 or $4.42/boe for the nine month period, compared to $340,084 or $7.89/boe for the same period last year. Operating costs for the nine month period were $854,933 or $10.06/boe compared to $404,356 or $9.38/boe for same period last year. Non-capitalized general and administrative costs for the nine months were $530,440 or $6.24/boe compared to $233,168 or $5.41/boe for the nine month period last year. The Company credit facility of $2,500,000 had been drawn down by $1,485,000 at December 31st. Capital expenditures for the nine month period were $1,830,332 versus $1,653,218 for the same period last year. Expenditures were focused primarily on the drilling and completing of Postorna 1 in the Czech Republic, drilling of an oil well and a water disposal well at Huntoon, activities in the heavy oil core area and reactivation work at Tomahawk. Cashflow from operating activities (after G&A) for the nine month period decreased $156,687 to $512,429 from $669,116 for the same period last year. This translates to $0.10 per share (basic) for the nine months. After tax earnings for the nine month period equaled ($100,223), after G&A, interest and DD&A.. FINAL THOUGHTS - With new equity now in place and efforts well underway regarding the convertible debenture, the company has positioned itself to take advantage of its surplus of in house opportunities in Canada as well as the existing oil discovery at Breclav, Czech Republic. The production and reserve base in Canada continues to grow as a series of projects are being accomplished. Further drilling and additional seismic operations in the Breclav block in the Czech Republic are being finalized for later this spring and summer.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Management's Discussion and Analysis (the MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and notes thereto for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the audited financial statements and MD&A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (boe), gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil at six thousand cubic feet per barrel. OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION REVENUE GEOCAN's oil and gas revenue increased to $2,381,247 in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 ended December 31, 2001 from $1,734,495 for the comparable nine months period last year. This was the result of increased production associated with the acquisition of the Tomahawk/Carrot Creek properties (which closed on April 30th 2001) and additional production in the Lloydminster core area, both offset by lower product prices. Overall production increased 53% to a nine month exit rate of 340 boe/d at December 31 2001 from an exit volume of 222 boe/d at December 31, 2000. Average gas prices decreased to $4.00/mcf for the nine months from $5.03/mcf for the comparable nine month period last year. Light oil liquid prices averaged $33.31/bbl in the nine months period to December 31, 2001 compared to $37.47/bbl in 2000. Average heavy oil prices decreased to $20.50/bbl in the nine months period to December 31 2001 compared to $26.73/bbl in the same period of last year. Production was distributed 58% to oil and 42% to natural gas and natural gas liquids during the nine month period. ROYALTIES Royalties net of Alberta Royalty Tax Credit (ARTC) were $375,843 in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared with $340,084 in the same period last year. This increase is attributable to higher gross revenues associated with increased production, offset slightly by lower product prices for the nine month period versus the comparable period last year. On a boe basis, royalty expenses were $4.42/boe down from $7.89/boe for the nine month period last year. Royalties as a percentage of production income decreased slightly to 15.8% for the nine month period in fiscal 2002 down from 19.6% for the comparable nine month period last year. OPERATING EXPENSES Higher production volumes and per unit operating costs resulted in operating expenses increasing to $854,933 in the nine month period ended December 31st 2001 compared to $404,356 for the same period last year. On a boe basis operation costs were slightly higher at $10.09 in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $9.38 for the comparable nine months period last year. The increase is primarily a result of workovers and regular maintenance conducted primarily in the Lloydminster and Tomahawk core areas. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Although general and administrative expenses increased to $530,440 for the nine months period to December 31, 2001 compared to $233,168 for the same period in 2000, increases were primarily attributable to one time legal, investor communications and accounting expenses in Canada as well as those associated with the company's NASD OTC BB listing process in the U.S. Increases associated with annual third party engineering, a more significant year end audit and additions to staff were also incurred. Most of these costs are the result of a significantly larger operation. On a boe basis general and administration costs increased somewhat to $6.24/boe compared to $5.41/boe for the nine month period last year. DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND SITE RESTORATION Depletion and depreciation and site restoration expenses increased to $669,163 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 from $313,241 in the same period of fiscal 2001, the result of increased production. On a boe basis this equates to $7.87/boe for the current nine month period compared to $7.27/boe for the same period last year. INTEREST AND BANK DEBT The Company has a credit facility of $2,500,000, of which $1,485,000 had been utilized as of December 31, 2001. The credit facility bears interest at the bank prime rate plus 1 1/2%. Interest expense increased to $122,482 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $87,771 for the comparable period last year. Interest expense will be reduced in the final quarter as a result of funds raised through the Unit Offering completed December 3rd 2001. CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS AND NET EARNINGS Cash flow from operations decreased to $512,429 during the nine months of fiscal 2002 down from $669,116 in the nine months of fiscal 2001. Cashflow per basic share, was $0.10 per share, down from $0.14 per share for the same period last year. Pretax earnings for the nine month period equaled ($0.02) per share after G&A, interest and DD&A. While this is down from the same period last year, it reflects the cost associated with positioning GEOCAN to now exploit its surplus of in-house opportunities in Canada and the Czech Republic. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Capital expenditures for the nine month period were $1,830,332 compared with $1,653,218 for the same period last year. Expenditures were focused primarily on the drilling and completing of Postorna 1 in the Czech Republic, acquisition of the Tomahawk/Carrot Creek assets, the drilling of an oil well and a water disposal well at Huntoon Saskatchewan, activities in the heavy oil core area near Lloydminster and reactivation work at Tomahawk in Alberta.
