NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) March 31, 2001 NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements of TGC Industries, Inc. (the "Company")have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10- QSB and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. NOTE B -- MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position have been included. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2000 filed on Form 10- KSB. NOTE C -- LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, when dilutive, common shares issuable for stock options, warrants and convertible securities. The effect of preferred stock dividends on the amount of loss available to common stockholders was $.07 and $.05 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Outstanding warrants that were not included in the diluted calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive totaled 850,000 and 1,136,575 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Outstanding options that were not included in the diluted calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive totaled 319,940 and 176,497 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. TGC INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) March 31, 2001 (Continued) NOTE D DIVIDENDS Holders of the Company's Series C 8% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") will receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, dividends at a rate of 8% per annum. The dividends are payable semi-annually during January and July of each year. At March 31, 2001, cumulative dividends of approximately $864,000 were in arrears on the Company's Series C Preferred Stock. Holders of the Company's 8-1/2% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Senior Preferred Stock") will receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, dividends at a rate of 8-1/2% per annum. The dividends are payable semi-annually during June and December of each year. Dividends paid during 2000, on the Senior Preferred Stock, were paid in additional shares of Senior Preferred Stock, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. At March 31, 2001, there were no dividends in arrears on the Company's Senior Preferred Stock. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS TGC Industries, Inc. (the "Company") reported revenue of $882,152 and a net loss, before dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $(541,370) for the three month period ended March 31, 2001, compared with revenue of $358,538 and a net loss, before dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $(686,205) for 2000. Loss per common share, on a basic and diluted basis, was $(.30) for the three month period ended March 31, 2001, compared with a loss per common share of $(.35) for 2000. As a result of the Company reporting a loss for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, the number of shares used in the loss per share computation does not include any common shares issuable for stock options, warrants or convertible securities because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Though our seismic crew was not fully employed during the first quarter of 2001, the Company was successful in securing $7,336,000 of contracts which will, if not canceled, keep its seismic crew employed throughout the second and third quarters of 2001. To secure these contracts in the competitive environment during the first quarter, the Company priced its services at lower than its traditional profit margins. Despite the recent difficult industry conditions, management believes that the geophysical services industry has favorable long-term prospects. Geophysical services should be in greater demand due to the recent increase in seismic bidding activity and the prospect of oil and natural gas prices remaining at or near their current levels. Though there can be no assurance, such conditions should enable the Company to secure contracts with higher margins for the fourth quarter which should improve the Company's performance in 2001. Non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization were $396,581 in the first three months of 2001 compared with $408,272 for the same period of 2000. At December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,800,000 available to offset future taxable income, which expire at various dates through 2020. FINANCIAL CONDITION Cash of $321,744 was provided from operations for the first three months of 2001 compared with cash used in operations of $420,096 for the same period of 2000. Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2001 and 2000, was for the addition of equipment in the amounts of $31,730 and $48,699, respectively. Cash used in financing activities for the first three months of 2001 and 2000, was for principal payments of debt obligations in the amounts of $84,405 and $214,550, respectively. Working capital decreased $176,392 to $153,142 from the December 31, 2000 balance of $329,534. The Company's current ratio was 1.13 at March 31, 2001, compared with 1.36 at December 31, 2000. Stockholders' equity decreased $537,604 from the December 31, 2000 balance of $4,171,860 to $3,634,256 at March 31, 2001. This decrease was attributable to the net loss, before dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $541,370. The Company anticipates that available funds, together with anticipated cash flows generated from future operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs during 2001.
