NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2003
NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 accruals) 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, 2002
filed on Form 10-KSB.
NOTE C -- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are based upon the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per
share are 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 income (loss) available to common stockholders
was $.01 and $(.01) for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, and $.03 and $(.03) for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002 respectively.
Outstanding warrants that were not included in the diluted calculation
because their effect would be anti-dilutive totaled 2,350,000 for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, and 850,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2002. Outstanding options that were not
included in the diluted calculation because their effect would be anti-
dilutive totaled 232,100 for each of the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2003
(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 June 30, 2003, cumulative dividends of $104,580 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 Statement of Resolution Establishing the Senior Preferred Stock. In
addition, the holders elected to receive payment of the 2001, 2002 and June
1, 2003 dividends in additional shares of Senior Preferred Stock. At June
30, 2003, 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
The Company's crew returned to work in late January 2003 after being idle
since early November 2002. The Company was able to maintain a sufficient
level of backlog to keep one of its two crews employed the entire second
quarter of 2003. As a result, TGC reported a profit for both the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2003. TGC reported net income, before
dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $218,515 on revenue of
$2,835,401, for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 compared with a
net loss, before dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $264,151 on
revenue of $1,654,409 for the same period of 2002. Income per common share,
on a basic and diluted basis, was $.03 for the three month period ended June
30, 2003, compared with a loss per common share of $.06 for the same period
of 2002.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, TGC reported net income,
before dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $175,036 on revenue of
$4,437,206, compared with a net loss, before dividend requirements on
preferred stock, of $182,439 on revenue of $4,572,269 for the same period of
2002. Income per common share, on a basic and diluted basis, was $.00 for
the six month period ended June 30, 2003, compared with a loss per common
share of $.06 for the same period of 2002.
8
The number of common shares used in the income (loss) per share computation
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, do not
include any common shares issuable for stock options, warrants or
convertible securities because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-
dilutive.
Oil and gas exploration companies have recently increased the level of
activity in their domestic oil and gas exploration programs. Though there
can be no assurance, should this increased level of activity in the industry
continue, management believes TGC may secure enough contracts to enable the
Company to improve its performance during the second half of 2003 compared
with the second half of 2002.
Non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization were $732,271 in the
first six months of 2003 compared with $772,038 for the same period of 2002.
At December 31, 2002, TGC had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $9,000,000 available to offset future taxable income, which
expire at various dates through 2022.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash of $241,526 was provided by operations during the first six months of
2003 compared with cash provided by operations of $24,006 for the same
period of 2002. This increase was primarily the result of an increasing
level of activity in the first six months of 2003 compared with a declining
level of activity in the same period of 2002. During the first six months of
2003, $74,264 was spent for capital expenditures to replace certain vehicles
and equipment. In addition, $9,349 was received as proceeds from the sale
of property and equipment. As a result, net cash of $64,915 was used in
investing activities during the first six months of 2003. Principal payments
of notes payable of $132,201 along with principal payments of capital lease
obligations of $90,669 resulted in net cash of $222,870 being used in
financing activities during the first six months of 2003. TGC anticipates
that available funds, together with anticipated cash flows generated from
future operations will be sufficient to meet TGC's minimum lease and note
payment obligations.
In September 2002, TGC issued 1,500,000 detachable stock warrants to an
investor group that included certain directors in exchange for a line of
credit, that expired December 31, 2002, in an amount up to $300,000. The
warrants cover 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, expire on September 10,
2012, and are exercisable at $.20 per whole share (provided, however that
the exercise price at the time of a given exercise of the warrants shall not
be less than the then per share par value of the Common Stock). Since the
shareholders approved a reduction in the par value of the Common Stock from
$.30 to $.01 at the Annual Meeting in June 2003, no adjustment to the
exercise price of the warrants will be required. During September 2002, TGC
borrowed $150,000 of the available funds. The promissory notes, which bore
interest at 6.75% per annum, were paid in full during December 2002 and
January 2003.
9
In March 2003 the same investor group that provided the above described line
of credit in 2002, committed to provide a line of credit up to $300,000
through December 31, 2003, on the same terms as the 2002 line of credit,
provided that warrants covering only 750,000 shares of Common Stock will be
issued in consideration for the commitment to provide the line of credit and
warrants covering the remaining 750,000 shares of Common Stock will only be
issued in proportion to the amount of the $300,000 commitment which the
Company determines to draw on (e.g. if the Company borrows a total of
$150,000, warrants covering 375,000 shares will be issued and if the Company
borrows the full commitment of $300,000, warrants covering 750,000 shares
will be issued). As of July 31, 2003, the Company had no borrowings against
the line of credit.
Working capital increased $814,238 to $678,424 at June 30, 2003 from the
December 31, 2002, negative working capital of $135,814. The Company's
current ratio was 2.3 at June 30, 2003, compared with .9 at December 31,
2002. Stockholders' equity increased $175,036 to $1,535,310 at June 30,
2003 from the December 31, 2002 balance of $1,360,274. This increase was
attributable to the net income, before dividend requirements on preferred
stock, of $175,036.
Management believes, although there can be no assurance, that available
funds together with anticipated cash flows generated from future operations
and the recently secured line of credit will be sufficient to meet the
Company's cash needs during 2003.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements which reflect the view of
Company's management with respect to future events. Although management
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are reasonable; it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove
to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from such expectations are disclosed in the Company's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings, and include, but are not limited
to the dependence upon energy industry spending for seismic services, the
unpredictable nature of forecasting weather, the potential for contract
delay or cancellation, the potential for fluctuations in oil and gas prices,
and the availability of capital resources. The forward-looking statements
contained herein reflect the current views of the Company's management and
the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements
or to update the reasons actual results could differ from those contemplated
by such forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3. PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
10
pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and

procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
