Our primary focus at this time is on the Company's assets and projects in the Philippines. The Company drilled three onshore wells on the island of Cebu in the Philippines in the third and fourth quarters of 2003 and is preparing to have these wells tested and certified. In addition to evaluating other farm-in energy-related opportunities in Southeast Asia, the Company is in the process of acquiring four coal concessions located on the Island of Cebu. The Company has now utilized the funding raised on the last private offering of August 2003 in successful pursuance of its planned activities for the period January 1, 2003 until present. It has also been pursuing additional short-term financing until longer-term funding can be put in place as described below. To this end the Company has increased its Fixed Assets through a share swap arrangement between Langley Park Investment Trust Plc ("Langley") in which the Company placed 27,000,000 shares of restricted stock with Langley in exchange for 3,018,172 Langley shares (pound)1 p.v. Langley is traded on the London Stock Exchange and the Company has the ability to trade up to 50% of its holdings in the first two years and the remainder thereafter. In addition, subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2004 the Company acquired Pacific Geothermal Energy, Inc and through this acquisition brought additional $1,000,000 financing through the issue of convertible, redeemable 5-year debentures (See additional notes below). It is intended that these sources of funds plus the second tranche on the convertible debentures be used for working capital and to permit the Company to develop its existing assets and pursue additional assets to enable it to develop the longer-term funding prospects. In order to have adequate resources for future funding for the business, the Company has entered into a Heads of Agreement with a Malaysian/Swiss group, AIAK Swiss ("AIAK"), to raise up to US$20 Million to fund the forward development programme. It is proposed that these funds will be contributed into a Special Purposes Vehicle ("SPV"); the Company will also contribute its assets into the SPV, which assets will be independently valued. On July 29, 2004 the Corporation announced that it was in the process of submitting a formal application to the Philippine Department of Energy for a new Coal Operating Contract (COC). Exploration drilling is planned by the Corporation to identify the readily mineable coal reserves, which are conservatively estimated to be between 2 to 10 million metric tons proven with upside potential, and are located in South Cebu. The COC is for four of the most prospective coal blocks in the area and potentially provides the Corporation with an opportunity to become a key producer of high quality steam coal. Additional applications for more coal blocks are anticipated as the licenses become available. Selected Annual Information Selected Financial Data (in '000, except Earnings per Share)

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 the Company assets, weighted average shares and long-term debt reflected the business acquisition of Forum Exploration, Inc as described in the accounts. The Company was still focused on development activities and, therefore, no revenues were generated during these periods. Results of Operations The consolidated accounts show a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of ($1,626,461) or ($0.01) per share versus ($1,356, 130) for 2003 or ($0.10) per share. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as well as the year ended December 31, 2003 incorporate the activities of the Philippine subsidiary, Forum Exploration, Inc. Balance Sheet There has been little significant change in the current assets of the Company, which now include the assets of Forum Exploration, Inc. The inclusion of the $339,300 short-term demand loans from the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") has increased the working capital of the Company as detailed in the summary of quarterly results.

Liquidity Working capital at September 30, 2004 was $2,126,026 (2003 - deficit $283,714) and shareholders' surplus was $7,572,727 (2003- $1,808,953). The Company will need to raise additional capital through debt, equity or other offerings to fund its ongoing operations and development. The Company has announced plans to raise up to US$20 million to fund its long-term objectives, as discussed above. In the meantime, the directors and Shareholders have provided short-term financing in order for the Company to meet its working capital requirements to continue its operations. Such financings have been on a non-interest, non-recourse basis. Since January 1, 2004 to date, directors have contributed US$158,805 through the exercise of options at the request of the Company and Shareholders and directors have advanced a further US$235,000 through short-term loans repayable on demand. On October 18, 2004, Forum Energy Corporation, a Canadian corporation ("Forum Energy"), Forum Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forum Energy, and Pacific Geothermal Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PacGeo") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Merger") was also completed on October 18, 2004. As a result of the Merger, PacGeo became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forum Energy and all outstanding shares of PacGeo' capital stock held by its sole stockholder were converted into 50,000 shares of Forum Energy common stock. PacGeo is a private, development stage company formed to pursue opportunities for geothermal energy in the Philippines, and had immaterial assets and liabilities as of October 18, 2004, other than its obligations under and proceeds from the debentures described below. Immediately prior to the Merger, PacGeo entered into a Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of September 30, 2004, with, among others, HEM Mutual Assurance LLC, and Highgate House LLC ("Highgate"), accredited investors located in Minneapolis, Minnesota (collectively, the "Investors"), pursuant to which it sold and issued convertible debentures to Investors in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 in a private placement pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Two debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 were issued for gross proceeds of $500,000 in cash (the "Initial Debentures") and an additional debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the "Contingent Debenture" and collectively with the Initial Debentures, the "Debentures") was issued in exchange for a promissory note from Investors in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Note"). Each of the Debentures has a maturity date of September 29, 2009, subject to earlier conversion or redemption pursuant to its terms, and bears interest at the rate of 1% per year, payable in cash or shares of common stock at the option of the holder of the Debentures. As a result of the Merger, Forum Energy has assumed the rights and obligations of PacGeo in the private placement, including the gross proceeds raised through the sale of the Debentures, the Note issued by Investors to PacGeo, and PacGeo' obligations under the Debentures and the Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Merger, US$500,000 in principal amount of the Initial Debentures are now convertible into unrestricted shares of Forum Energy common stock (the "Common Shares"). The conversion price for the Debentures in effect on any Conversion Date shall be the lesser of (a) the lesser of $.10 and one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the average of the closing bid prices per share of Forum Energy's Common Shares during the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the "Fixed Conversion Price") and (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices per share of the Common Shares during the forty (40) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the "Floating Conversion Price"); provided, however, that the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that the First Debenture A, First Debenture B and Second Debenture may be converted into shall be Two Million (2,000,000) common shares (the "Maximum Conversion"); and further provided, however, that upon the Maximum Conversion, Forum Energy shall, at its option (a) increase the Maximum Conversion or (a) redeem the unconverted amount of the Initial Debentures (if issued and outstanding) and Contingent Debenture in whole or in part at one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the unconverted amount of such Debentures being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon. For purposes of determining the closing bid price on any day, reference shall be to the closing bid price for a share of Common Shares on such date on the OTCBB (or such other exchange, market, or other system that the Common Shares are then traded on), as reported on Bloomberg, L.P. (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices). The Contingent Debenture may not be converted, do not accrue interest, and are not subject to repayment at maturity unless and until (i) the closing per share bid price for the Common Shares has been at least $0.10 for thirty consecutive trading days at any time from September 30, 2004 to September 29,2009; (ii) a sufficient number of Forum Energy's Common Shares are then held in escrow to cover at least 200% of the number of shares that would then be necessary to satisfy the full conversion of all then outstanding converted Debentures; and (iii) the Notes have been paid in full by the Investors. The Notes becomes payable in full by Investors to Forum Energy as soon as the Contingent Debentures become convertible and subject to repayment as described above. If and when the Contingent Debenture become convertible, it will be convertible into unrestricted Common Shares of Forum Energy at a conversion price that is the lower of $0.10 or the average of the three lowest closing per share bid prices for the Common Shares during the 40 trading days prior to conversion. The conversion price and number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures is subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations and other dilutive events. To satisfy its conversion obligations under the Debentures, Forum Energy has placed certificates representing 10,000,000 Common Shares into escrow for potential issuance to the Investors upon conversion of the Debentures. The Debentures may never be converted into an aggregate of more than 2,000,000 Common Shares unless Forum Energy elects to increase the number of shares held in escrow and obtains stockholder approval in accordance with the rules and regulations of such exchange, market or system on which its Common Shares are then listed. If the conversion rate of the Debentures would require Forum Energy to issue more than an aggregate of 2,000,000 Common Shares upon conversion of the Debentures and Forum Energy has not elected to increase the number of shares held in escrow (or fails to obtain any required stockholder approval for such proposed increase), Forum Energy will be required to redeem the unconverted amount of the Debentures for 140% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Debentures generally may not be converted if after such conversion the holder would beneficially own more than 5% of Forum Energy's then outstanding Common Shares, unless the holder waives this limitation by providing Forum Energy with 75 days prior written notice. Forum Energy has the right to redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, at any time on 30 days advanced notice for 140% of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if at any time any of the Debentures are outstanding, Forum Energy receives debt or equity financing in an amount equal to or exceeding Five Million dollars ($5,000,000) in a single transaction or series of related transactions (excluding any portion of such financing consisting of forgiveness of debt or other obligations), Forum Energy is required to redeem the Debentures (including the Contingent Debentures, if outstanding) for 150% of the amount of the then outstanding Debentures, less the amount of the Note if not then repaid. If trading in the Common Shares is suspended (other than suspensions of trading on such market or exchange generally or temporary suspensions pending the release of material information) for more than ten trading days, or if the Common Shares is de-listed from the exchange, market or system on which it is then traded and not re-listed on another exchange, market or the Over the Counter Bulletin Board within 10 trading days, Investors may elect to require Forum Energy to redeem all then outstanding Debentures (including the Contingent Debenture) and any shares of Common Shares held by Investors through prior conversions at a price equal to the sum of the aggregate market value of the Common Shares then held by Investors, less the amount of the Note if not then repaid, through prior conversions plus the value of all unconverted Debentures then held by Investors, calculated in each case in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Forum Energy would owe an interest penalty of 15% per year on any payments not made within 7 business days of a redemption request made pursuant to the preceding sentence. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, until October 17, 2005, Forum Energy is prohibited from offering or issuing any security pursuant to a Rule 504 exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Until such time as they no longer holds any Debentures, neither the Investors nor their respective affiliates may engage in any short sales of the Common Shares if there is no offsetting long position in the Common Shares then held by the Investors or such affiliates. Capital Resources The Company is responsible for meeting the entire working capital requirements for the current year of the oil and gas properties of Forum Exploration, Inc. of which the Company now owns 66 2/3%. The working capital requirements for the oil and gas operations are based on the work programme agreed to between Forum Exploration, Inc. and the Department of Energy of the Philippines. The general and administration costs run approximately US$25,000 per month and the work programme exploration requirements have been met for 2003 and 2004. An additional work programme has been prepared and approved to complete the testing and appraisal of the onshore wells as well as an appraisal of the Libertad gas field, which has been budgeted to cost approximately US$892,616 over the coming year. In addition, the Company has committed to undertake exploration activities in Manila Bay pursuant to which a seismic programme has been budgeted for US$979,900 over the coming year. These will be funded from the long-term financing mentioned above. In addition, the Company will look to farm-in to a producing field in Indonesia or elsewhere.

Fourth Quarter [see 1.10] Proposed Transactions Other than what has already been described above there are no further proposed transactions. The Company has already discussed the proposed financing transaction with AIAK of Malaysia/Switzerland. The proposed transaction will require that the Company obtain independent valuations of its assets, which will then be contributed to an SPV into which AIAK will raise and invest up to US$20 million. The Company will receive equity in the SPV in consideration of its contribution. It is the intention of AIAK to list the SPV on a stock exchange in order to permit the shares to become tradable. Critical Accounting Estimates In the share purchase agreement dated March 23, 2003, as amended to acquire a 66 2/3% interest in Forum Exploration, Inc., the Company acquired an interest in Deferred Exploration Costs in the amount of $14,539,921 (as at June 30, 2003 the date for acquisition accounting purposes). These costs are capitalized development costs prior to the start of commercial operations and can be recovered from the Department of Energy of the Philippines' share of the production. At that time, management determined the fair market value of this debt to be $7,042,487. The initial basis for this evaluation was at 10% for five years. Subsequently, management determined the amount should be further written down. The Company also acquired a long-term debt to a related party, Forum Pacific Inc, in respect to their advance to Forum Exploration, Inc, the repayment of which is limited to the related party share of cost recovery and revenues from profit oil when commercial production commences from the Company's oil and gas properties in Cebu and Manila Bay. This loan was incurred when Forum Pacific funded the development costs of Forum Exploration, Inc. At the date of acquisition the loan balance was $13,081,909, which was discounted to a fair market value of $9,446,483. This note is being accreted during the estimated term to repay, being seven years in management's opinion, based on a discount rate of 10% per annum.

See Accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FORUM ENERGY CORPORATION (Formerly Tracer Petroleum Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Unaudited 1. GOING CONCERN Forum Energy Corporation (the "Corporation") is incorporated under the laws of Alberta and is engaged primarily in the business of exploration and development of oil and gas reserves and the pursuit of other energy related opportunities. The exploration and development of oil and gas reserves involves significant financial risks. The success of the Corporation is dependent upon its ability to discover economically recoverable reserves and to bring such reserves into profitable production, and is subject to a number of risks, including environmental risks, contractual risks, legal and political risks, fluctuations in the price of oil and gas and other factors beyond the Corporation's control. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Management believes the going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, is appropriate. The Corporation has experienced significant operating losses and cash outflow from operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and though it has $2,126,026 in working capital at September 30, 2004 it has no producing properties. The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on achieving profitable operations and upon obtaining additional financing. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements adjustments might be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the balance sheet classifications used. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates relate to determining the recoverability of the Corporation's property, plant and equipment. While it is the opinion of management that these consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below, actual results could differ from the estimates made. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003. (a) Basis of preparation These financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, Tracer Petroleum International ("TPI"); TEPCO Ltd. ("TEPCO") and Forum Exploration Inc. ("FEI"). FORUM ENERGY CORPORATION (Formerly Tracer Petroleum Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Unaudited 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (b) Properties, plant and equipment The Corporation follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations, whereby all costs of exploring for and developing oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized and accumulated in country-by-country cost centres. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical costs, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells, interest costs on major development projects and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities. The costs (including exploratory dry holes) in costs centres from which there has been no commercial production are not subject to depletion until commercial production commences. The capitalized costs are periodically assessed to determine whether it is likely such costs will be recovered in the future. To the extent there are costs, which are not likely to be recovered in the future, they are written-off. The costs in cost centres from which there will be production will be depleted and depreciated on the unit of production method based on the estimated proved reserves after royalties. Oil and natural gas reserves and production will be converted into equivalent units based upon their estimated relative energy content. Costs of acquiring and evaluating significant unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculations. These unproved properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment in value has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the value of the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion. Oil and natural gas properties are subject to a ceiling test for each cost centre and in each reporting period to determine that the costs of each cost centre are recoverable and do not exceed their estimated future net revenues. Future net revenues are estimated based upon the production of proved reserves at period end prices plus the costs of unproved properties net of impairment allowances, future capital costs, administrative, financing, future removal and site restoration costs and income taxes. If the carrying value of the oil and natural gas properties exceed the estimated future net revenues, a write down is recorded. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied against capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such a sale would alter the depletion rate by more than 20%. Substantially all of the Corporation's exploration, development and production activities are conducted jointly with others and accordingly these financial statements reflect only the Corporation's proportionate interest in such activities. The Corporation's drilling equipment and well logging equipment are recorded at cost upon acquisition and depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. The Corporation depreciates its office furniture and fixtures, and transportation equipment at the rate of 30% per annum utilizing the declining balance method. It provides for a full year's amortization of these assets in the year of acquisition. FORUM ENERGY CORPORATION (Formerly Tracer Petroleum Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Unaudited 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (c) Future removal and site restoration costs - oil and gas properties Estimated future removal and site restoration costs are provided for using the unit-of-production method based upon estimated gross proven reserves. (d) Foreign currency translation The accounts of the Corporation's integrated subsidiary have been translated into Canadian dollars on the following basis: Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at year-end. Non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses are credited or charged to income in the year incurred. (e) Stock option plan The Corporation has a fixed price stock option plan. No compensation expense is recognized when stock options are issued to or exercised by employees, officers, or directors. Any consideration paid on exercise of stock options by employees, officers, or directors is credited to share capital. Effective January 1, 2002 the Corporation adopted the new Canadian accounting standard for stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments. The standard requires that the Corporation provide pro-forma earnings and pro-forma earnings per share for employee stock option granted, as if the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation had been used. The fair value of any stock option grants to non-employees is charged to income during the year. (f) Income taxes The Corporation follows the liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the carrying value and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. (g) Investments Investments consist of equity securities held for sale and are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. The securities are recorded at cost unless there has been a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline, at which time the investment is written down to market value. FORUM ENERGY CORPORATION (Formerly Tracer Petroleum Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Unaudited 3. BUSINESS COMBINATION On March 11, 2003, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire a right to purchase 66?% of the issued and outstanding shares of FEI, a Philippine Corporation that has rights to develop two properties located in the Philippines. The Corporation completed this transaction on July 18, 2003 and co-terminously the Corporation exercised its right to acquire 66?% of FEI. The consideration rendered was the issuance of 100,000,000 common shares of the Corporation at an adjusted price of $0.001 per share. The adjusted price per share was determined by management based upon the vendors' cost of the right to purchase, which approximated $100,000, as management believes there was not a sufficiently active and liquid market for the Corporation's shares to support their use. In addition, the Corporation undertook to procure funding in the form of an on-demand bridge loan to fund the working capital needs of FEI from November 1, 2002 until the completion of the acquisition, which amounted to approximately US$500,000. The Corporation also agreed to fund FEI's required property work commitments and overhead for 2003 and 2004 [see Note 9]. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method whereby the assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair market values as at the effective date and the operating results have been included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition as tabled below: Net Assets Acquired: Current assets (including cash $20,203) $ 102,938 Property, plant and equipment 7,042,487 Current liabilities (107,708) Long-term debt (6,772,955) Non-controlling interest (50,000) ----------- $ 214,762 =========== Consideration Rendered: Issuance of 100,000,000 common shares $ 100,000 Transaction costs 114,762 ----------- $ 214,762 ----------- =========== 4.

The majority of the 2004 Work Programme and Budget will be covered through the US$20 million financing that is being arranged through AIAK Capital in Kuala Lumpur, which was announced in a press release of April 22nd 2004. 11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (a) Foreign currency exchange risk: The Corporation is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations as many of the Corporations expenditures are in U.S. dollars and Philippine pesos. (b) Credit risk: The Corporation's accounts receivable are primarily customers in the oil and gas industry and government agencies and are subject to normal industry credit risks. (c) Fair value of financial instruments: Financial instruments of the Corporation consist mainly of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term loans, long-term debt and convertible loans. As at September 30, 2004, there were no significant differences between the carrying amounts of these financial instruments reported on the balance sheet and their estimated fair values. 12. COMPARATIVE INFORMATION Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. FORUM ENERGY CORPORATION (Formerly Tracer Petroleum Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Unaudited 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (i) In February 2004 we entered into a finders agreement with AIAK Capital Ltd, pursuant to which AIAK, on an exclusive basis for a period of 180 days, was retained to obtain equity and/or debt financing for the Corporation in the capital markets of Asia. The range of financing was between US$5 and US$50 million. Subsequently, in April 2004, based on discussions with AIAK management, the Corporation agreed that the appropriate amount of financing which AIAK should attempt to secure was US$20 million. It has been suggested by AIAK that such financing may be effected through a combination including a potential transfer of certain of our assets to a new `Special Purpose Vehicle' (SPV) through which the US$20 million would be raised. Our interest in the SPV would be based upon a valuation of the transferred assets by an independent engineering firm. If AIAK is successful, in addition to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, it will receive a finder's fee equal to 8% of the aggregate amount raised. (ii) On July 29, 2004 the Corporation announced that it was in the process of submitting a formal application to the Philippine Department of Energy for a new Coal Operating Contract (COC). Exploration drilling is planned by the Corporation to identify the readily mineable coal reserves, which are conservatively estimated to be between 2 to 10 million metric tons recoverable with upside potential, and are located in South Cebu. The COC is for four of the most prospective coal blocks in the area and potentially provides the Corporation with an opportunity to become a key producer of high quality steam coal. Additional applications for more coal blocks are anticipated as the originals become available. (iii) On October 18, 2004, Forum Energy Corporation, a Canadian corporation ("Forum Energy"), Forum Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forum Energy, and Pacific Geothermal Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PacGeo") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Merger") was also completed on October 18, 2004. As a result of the Merger, PacGeo became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forum Energy and all outstanding shares of PacGeo' capital stock held by its sole stockholder were converted into 1,000 shares of Forum Energy common stock. PacGeo is a private, development stage company formed to pursue opportunities for geothermal energy in the Philippines, and had immaterial assets and liabilities as of October 18, 2004, other than its obligations under and proceeds from the debentures described below. Immediately prior to the Merger, PacGeo entered into a Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of September 30, 2004, with, among others, HEM Mutual Assurance LLC, and Highgate House LLC ("Highgate"), accredited investors located in Minneapolis, Minnesota (collectively, the "Investors"), pursuant to which it sold and issued convertible debentures to Investors in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 in a private placement pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D FORUM ENERGY CORPORATION (Formerly Tracer Petroleum Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Unaudited 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Two debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 were issued for gross proceeds of $500,000 in cash (the "Initial Debentures") and an additional debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the "Contingent Debenture" and collectively with the Initial Debentures, the "Debentures") was issued in exchange for a promissory note from Investors in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Note"). Each of the Debentures has a maturity date of September 29, 2009, subject to earlier conversion or redemption pursuant to its terms, and bears interest at the rate of 1% per year, payable in cash or shares of common stock at the option of the holder of the Debentures. As a result of the Merger, Forum Energy has assumed the rights and obligations of PacGeo in the private placement, including the gross proceeds raised through the sale of the Debentures, the Note issued by Investors to PacGeo, and PacGeo' obligations under the Debentures and the Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Merger, US$500,000 in principal amount of the Initial Debentures are now convertible into unrestricted shares of Forum Energy common stock (the "Common Shares"). The conversion price for the Debentures in effect on any Conversion Date shall be the lesser of (a) the lesser of $.10 and one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the average of the closing bid prices per share of Forum Energy's Common Shares during the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the "Fixed Conversion Price") and (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices per share of the Common Shares during the forty (40) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the "Floating Conversion Price"); provided, however, that the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that the First Debenture A, First Debenture B and Second Debenture may be converted into shall be Two Million (2,000,000) common shares (the "Maximum Conversion"); and further provided, however, that upon the Maximum Conversion, Forum Energy shall, at its option (a) increase the Maximum Conversion or a. redeem the unconverted amount of the Initial Debentures (if issued and outstanding) and Contingent Debenture in whole or in part at one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the unconverted amount of such Debentures being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon. For purposes of determining the closing bid price on any day, reference shall be to the closing bid price for a share of Common Shares on such date on the OTCBB (or such other exchange, market, or other system that the Common Shares are then traded on), as reported on Bloomberg, L.P. (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices). The Contingent Debenture may not be converted, do not accrue interest, and are not subject to repayment at maturity unless and until (i) the closing per share bid price for the Common Shares has been at least $0.10 for thirty consecutive trading days at any time from September 30, 2004 to September 29,2009; (ii) a sufficient number of Forum Energy's Common Shares are then held in escrow to cover at least 200% of the number of shares that would then be necessary to satisfy the full conversion of all then FORUM ENERGY CORPORATION (Formerly Tracer Petroleum Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Unaudited 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued) outstanding converted Debentures; and (iii) the Notes have been paid in full by the Investors. The Notes becomes payable in full by Investors to Forum Energy as soon as the Contingent Debentures become convertible and subject to repayment as described above. If and when the Contingent Debenture become convertible, it will be convertible into unrestricted Common Shares of Forum Energy at a conversion price that is the lower of $0.10 or the average of the three lowest closing per share bid prices for the Common Shares during the 40 trading days prior to conversion. The conversion price and number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures is subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations and other dilutive events. To satisfy its conversion obligations under the Debentures, Forum Energy has placed certificates representing 10,000,000 Common Shares into escrow for potential issuance to the Investors upon conversion of the Debentures. The Debentures may never be converted into an aggregate of more than 2,000,000 Common Shares unless Forum Energy elects to increase the number of shares held in escrow and obtains stockholder approval in accordance with the rules and regulations of such exchange, market or system on which its Common Shares are then listed. If the conversion rate of the Debentures would require Forum Energy to issue more than an aggregate of 2,000,000 Common Shares upon conversion of the Debentures and Forum Energy has not elected to increase the number of shares held in escrow (or fails to obtain any required stockholder approval for such proposed increase), Forum Energy will be required to redeem the unconverted amount of the Debentures for 140% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Debentures generally may not be converted if after such conversion the holder would beneficially own more than 5% of Forum Energy's then outstanding Common Shares, unless the holder waives this limitation by providing Forum Energy with 75 days prior written notice. Forum Energy has the right to redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, at any time on 30 days advanced notice for 140% of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if at any time any of the Debentures are outstanding, Forum Energy receives debt or equity financing in an amount equal to or exceeding Five Million dollars ($5,000,000) in a single transaction or series of related transactions (excluding any portion of such financing consisting of forgiveness of debt or other obligations), Forum Energy is required to redeem the Debentures (including the Contingent Debentures, if outstanding) for 150% of the amount of the then outstanding Debentures, less the amount of the Note if not then repaid. If trading in the Common Shares is suspended (other than suspensions of trading on such market or exchange generally or temporary suspensions pending the release of material information) for more than ten trading days, or if the Common Shares is de-listed from the exchange, market or system on which it is then traded and not re-listed on another exchange, market or the FORUM ENERGY CORPORATION (Formerly Tracer Petroleum Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Unaudited 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued) Over the Counter Bulletin Board within 10 trading days, Investors may elect to require Forum Energy to redeem all then outstanding Debentures (including the Contingent Debenture) and any shares of Common Shares held by Investors through prior conversions at a price equal to the sum of the aggregate market value of the Common Shares then held by Investors, less the amount of the Note if not then repaid, through prior conversions plus the value of all unconverted Debentures then held by Investors, calculated in each case in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Forum Energy would owe an interest penalty of 15% per year on any payments not made within 7 business days of a redemption request made pursuant to the preceding sentence. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, until October 17, 2005, Forum Energy is prohibited from offering or issuing any security pursuant to a Rule 504 exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Until such time as they no longer holds any Debentures, neither the Investors nor their respective affiliates may engage in any short sales of the Common Shares if there is no offsetting long position in the Common Shares then held by the Investors or such affiliates.
