                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Seven Seas
Petroleum Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively the "Company" or "Seven Seas")
have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q as prescribed by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In the opinion
of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the information in the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been included. Interim period results are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for a full
year period. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.


2.  GENERAL:

     Seven Seas is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration
and development of oil and gas properties located in Colombia, South America.
The Company's principal asset is a 57.7% interest (before participation by
Ecopetrol, the Colombian national oil company) in the Dindal and Rio Seco
association contracts.

     The Company is the operator of the Guaduas Oil Field, which is located in
an area defined by the Rio Seco and Dindal association contracts covering a
total of approximately 108,000 contiguous acres in central Colombia. The Guaduas
Oil Field is located in the capital state of Cundinamarca, approximately 60
miles northwest of Bogota. The Company's 57.7% working interest is distributed
among the following three wholly owned subsidiaries: 1) Seven Seas Petroleum
Colombia ("SSPC"), a Cayman Islands corporation with a 40.8% working interest,
2) Petrolinson S.A. ("Petrolinson"), a Panamanian corporation with a 6% working
interest, and 3) GHK Company Colombia ("GHK Colombia"), an Oklahoma corporation
with a 10.9% working interest. GHK Colombia is the operator for the Guaduas Oil
Field.

     As the operator of the Guaduas Oil Field, the Company exercises direct
supervision over all field operations, including drilling and production. The
other interest owners are Cimarrona LLC (9.4%) and Sociedad International
Petrolera S.A. ("Sipetrol"), the international exploration and production
subsidiary of the Chilean national oil company (32.9%). Collectively the Company
and the other interest owners are referred to as the "Associates".

GUADUAS OIL FIELD DEVELOPMENT

     In May 2000, Ecopetrol elected not to participate in the development of the
Guaduas Oil Field. The Associates elected to proceed on a sole-risk basis.
Sole-risk means that the Associates pay 100% of development costs and retain all
revenues from production after the 20% Colombian royalty deduction that is
administered by Ecopetrol on the government's behalf. Ecopetrol has the right to
start participating in the development at any time subject to the Associates'
right to recover 200% of the development costs spent since Ecopetrol's decision
not to participate plus certain exploration costs.

     As of June 30, 2002, the Company has spent $242.2 million to acquire and
$113.1 million to delineate the reserve potential of the Guaduas Oil Field. The
Company has participated in the drilling of fourteen exploratory and seven
development wells within the Dindal and Rio Seco association contract areas.
Fourteen wells have been productive and one well has been converted into a gas
injection well. All but one of the remaining six wells are temporarily
abandoned; one of these six wells has been plugged and abandoned. As of June 30,
2002, the Guaduas Oil Field had produced a cumulative volume of approximately
4.8 million (2.2 million net to Seven Seas) barrels of oil.

     In 2001 and 2002, the Company has drilled seven development wells and
constructed a 40-mile pipeline that connects the Guaduas Oil Field to
international oil markets via Colombia's existing pipeline infrastructure. The
Guaduas - La Dorada pipeline has an initial throughput capacity of approximately
25,000 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD"), expandable to approximately 40,000 BOPD
with additional investment. Seven Seas also constructed production facilities
for production of approximately 25,000 BOPD.

SUBTHRUST DINDAL PROSPECT - DEEP DINDAL ASSOCIATION CONTRACT

     The Subthrust Dindal Prospect is located below the producing zones of the
Guaduas Oil Field. In December 2001, the Company commenced drilling of the
Escuela 2 exploratory well to test this prospect. The Escuela 2 well was
originally programmed to reach a total measured depth of approximately 18,000
feet. Based on updated geological information, the targeted depth was later
extended to approximately 19,500 feet subject to drilling results and costs.

     As of August 12, 2002, the Escuela 2 exploration well has been drilled to a
total measured depth of 19,109 feet with estimated cumulative costs of $19.1
million. As of August 9, 2002, the $15 million escrowed to drill and complete
the well has been spent.

     The Company believes that the geological information available at this time
indicates that the Escuela 2 is currently drilling in the lower Cretaceous
(Utica-Caballos) formation with potential reservoir rocks. Seven Seas also
believes it is likely that the Cambao fault has not been encountered. A review
of drilling samples and paleontological work is being carried out on a continual
basis to aid in the geological interpretation. When the well reaches its total
depth, the Company plans to run electric logs for further evaluation.

     As a result of a January 2001 farm-out agreement with its partners in the
Guaduas Oil Field, Seven Seas has a 100% working interest in the Deep Dindal
association contract, subject to an obligation to assign a portion of this
interest to its partners after the first well has been drilled. The Company will
pay all of the cost of drilling and testing the Subthrust Dindal Prospect.
Should the Escuela 2 be completed as a commercial well, the Company will be
obligated to assign either a collective 25.85% working interest to Cimarrona LLC
and Sipetrol, its partners in the Guaduas Oil Field, or a 9.4% working interest
to Cimarrona LLC and a 4.86% overriding royalty interest to Sipetrol.

    If the Escuela 2 is not completed as a commercial oil discovery, but the
results do provide justification for a second Subthrust Dindal Prospect test,
the Company will renegotiate the ownership participation in a second test well.
The Deep Dindal association contract requires that we drill an exploration well
during each of the two eighteen month exploration stages. The drilling of the
Escuela 2 satisfies the requirements of the first exploration stage, which ends
October 24, 2002.

3.  CAPITAL AVAILABILITY AND LIQUIDITY:

     The late May 2002 commencement of gas injection activities allowed a
resumption of production from several significant wells that had been previously
shut-in or curtailed due to high gas-to-oil ratios. However, when the wells were
opened for production or were no longer curtailed, oil production rates did not
increase as anticipated. Production from the Guaduas Oil Field has averaged
approximately 7,500 BOPD gross (3,400 net to Seven Seas) during the second
quarter of 2002. This is approximately 2,600 BOPD (1,200 net to Seven Seas) less
than the first quarter average daily production of approximately 10,100 BOPD
(4,700 net to Seven Seas).

     Beginning in the second quarter and continuing forward, Guaduas Oil Field
production has been declining. The resulting reduction in cash flows and an
estimated $6 million in additional costs on the Escuela 2 over the budgeted dry
hole costs through August 12, 2002 have materially weakened the Company's cash
flow and working capital position. There is now a risk that the November 15,
2002 $6.9 million interest payment on the $110 million Senior Notes will not be
made.

     In light of the material reduction to the Company's June 30, 2002 proved
reserves (see Footnote 4), the Company has begun discussions with our secured
debt holders ($22.5 million CHK Notes and $22.5 million Series A Notes -- see
Footnote 9). These discussions involve the Company's current financial position
and various go-forward scenarios that could include a sale of assets.

     The Company does not have a bank line of credit and our only source of
working capital is from operating cash flows. Therefore, the Company remains
dependent on Guaduas Oil Field production. If production is interrupted for an
extended period of time, or if prices decline for an extended period of time, or
if the Escuela 2 costs significantly exceed the current $19.1 million in
expenditures, cash reserves may decline to the point where the payment of the
semiannual interest on the $110 million Senior Notes would become uncertain. In
May 2002, the Company said that it "believes that at present oil prices,
revenues from current levels of production will continue to exceed operating
expenses, general and administrative costs, and debt interest payments." Due to
recent declines in production, the Company now believes that revenues from
current production are insufficient to cover the aforementioned costs.

                                       7

4. OIL AND GAS PROPERTY:

    The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and natural
gas properties. If the net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in a cost
center exceed an amount equal to the sum of the present value of estimated
future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves in the cost center and the
lower of cost or fair value of properties not being amortized, both adjusted for
income tax effects, such excess is charged to expense. Capitalized costs
associated with the acquisition and evaluation of unproved properties are
excluded from amortization until it is determined whether proved reserves can be
assigned to such properties or until the value of the properties is impaired.

     The Company recorded an impairment to oil and gas properties of $106.1
million, as of June 30, 2002. There was no tax effect as a result of this
charge. See Footnote 5 for a discussion of the tax effects. This write-down was
caused primarily by a 66% volumetric downward revision in the Company's proved
oil reserves, but was partially offset by a favorable realized crude oil price
as of June 30, 2002 versus December 31, 2001, the date of the previous reserve
report.

    Based on Ryder Scott Company Petroleum Consultants' ("Ryder Scott") report
as of June 30, 2002, the Company's proved reserves are approximately 16.3
million barrels of oil. This represents a 31.3 million barrel reduction (66%)
compared with the previously reported 47.6 million barrels of oil as of December
31, 2001. The present value, discounted continually over the expected life of
the production at 10% per annum, (the "SEC PV10") is approximately $136.3
million or $136.0 million less (50%) than the December 31, 2001 SEC PV10 of
$272.3 million.

    The June 30, 2002 66% reserve reduction is attributable to lower oil
production rates, lower production pressures, and the occurrence of rapid gas
encroachment in structurally higher wells in the Guaduas Oil Field. Ryder Scott
eliminated proved reserves located in the structurally higher portion of the
producing reservoir.

     As of June 30, 2002, unevaluated oil and gas interests amount to $34.9
million primarily comprised of $15 million of Deep Dindal association contract
acquisition costs and $17.7 million of Escuela 2 drilling costs. The unevaluated
costs are $35.7 million lower than the $70.6 million reported as of December 31,
2001. The reduction is primarily attributable to $52.5 million of unevaluated
acquisition costs and associated capital interest costs related to the
development of Dindal and Rio Seco probable reserves. These costs have been
transferred to evaluated properties as of June 30, 2002. Based on recent
production data from the Guaduas Oil Field, it is no longer likely that the
Company will drill the wells previously scheduled to test these areas of
unproved reserves. Additionally, the Company's current financial position, as
discussed in Footnote 3, precludes committing the necessary capital resources to
continue evaluating these unproved reserves.

5. INCOME TAXES:

RECLASSIFICATION

     Deferred tax liabilities reclassifications of $22.1 million have been made
to the prior year's financial statements to conform to the current year
presentation. The reclassification offsets the deferred tax liability against
the oil and gas property balance and has no effect on the previously reported
results of operations. These deferred tax costs were originally recorded to oil
and gas property to reflect the difference between book and tax basis related to
acquisitions completed in 1996 and 1997.

     As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001, the Company's subsidiaries had Colombian Net Operating Losses
("NOLs") of $5.3 million before considering the 2001 tax filing. At the time of
the Form 10-K filing, the Company assumed that $4.4 million of the NOLs would be
used to offset 2001 Colombian tax liabilities. However, due to changes in tax
planning strategies, the Company's subsidiaries did not use NOLs. Instead,
additional tax deductions resulting from the implementation of the tax strategy
increased the deferred tax liability associated with excess depletion for
Colombian tax purposes as compared to the US GAAP balances by an amount in
excess of the unused NOLs. As of December 31, 2001, the excess Colombian tax
depletion as compared to book depletion resulted in a $9.4 million deferred tax
liability.

     The Company believes that the $5.3 million in NOLs are fully realizable.
The Company's subsidiaries operating in Colombia are projected to show profits
from a Colombian subsidiaries' tax perspective in 2003 and forward. The
Colombian subsidiaries' books do not reflect significant costs associated with
the parent entities' books. These costs are primarily the interest on the
Company's debt, corporate G&A, and acquisition costs.

     Of our three operating subsidiaries, GHK Colombia, a US company, is the
only entity that could potentially have a tax obligation outside of Colombia.
GHK Colombia receives a US tax credit for taxes paid in Colombia, however timing
differences could possibly



                                       8
<PAGE>
occur that create a US tax payment obligation. For purposes of the deferred tax
presentation, we have assumed that GHK Colombia does not have any US deferred
tax liabilities, and we have also assumed that any US deferred tax assets and
any NOLs have a full valuation allowance.

OIL AND GAS PROPERTY WRITEDOWN

     As discussed in Footnote 4, oil and gas properties were written down by
$106.1 million as of June 30, 2002. There was not a related tax effect because
the property balance remains greater than the investment recognized in the tax
returns in Colombia. The excess investment represents the acquisition and
capital interest costs recorded on the Company's books that are not recognized
as tax deductions on the Colombian subsidiaries' books. The Company is
incorporated in the Cayman Islands and has recognized no tax liabilities related
to the Cayman Islands.

2002 ACTIVITY

     During 2002, an increase in the Company's depletion difference per book
basis as compared to tax basis created a $3.2 million deferred tax liability.
Other temporary differences between book and tax lessened our deferred tax
liability by $1.6 million. The net effect to the income statement is $1.6
million in income tax expense.

OTHER TAXES

     Under Colombian laws, an entity must pay a tax on their income tax returns
of at least 6% of the entity's net equity. Certain entities can be exempted from
paying this minimum tax during the first four operating years as defined by
Colombian law. Seven Seas' believes that its subsidiaries operating in Colombia
qualify under the aforementioned exemption. Accordingly, Seven Seas has not
recorded a liability related to the presumptive tax in 2002.

     Colombian law provides for a tax on foreign entities that repatriate
profits from Colombia. The tax is referred to as a remittance tax and is
assessed at 7% on all profits withdrawn from the country. An entity can avoid
paying the tax by reinvesting profits in Colombia for five years. The Company's
subsidiaries operating in Colombia have generated substantially no commercial
profits to date and thus no liability has been created on the books. The Company
has used the income tax rate of 35% to calculate any deferred tax liability, and
has assumed no remittance tax effect on any deferred tax calculation.

6.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATIONS

     Since the Company's inception through the second quarter of 2001, Seven
Seas was considered a development stage enterprise. The financial statements as
of December 31, 2000 were presented including all necessary disclosures to
identify the Company as a "Development Stage Enterprise". In July 2001, the
Company began regular oil deliveries into the newly constructed Guaduas - La
Dorada Pipeline. Accordingly, the development stage enterprise classification
and related financial statement disclosures were no longer required beginning
with the third quarter 2001 interim reporting period.

CAPITALIZED COSTS

     The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and natural
gas properties. Under this method, all costs incurred in the acquisition,
exploration and development, including unproductive wells, are capitalized in
separate cost centers for each country. Such capitalized costs include
association contract and concession acquisition, geological, geophysical and
other exploration work, drilling, completing and equipping oil and gas wells,
constructing production facilities and pipelines, certain general and
administrative expenses, and interest applicable to unevaluated property costs
and other related costs.

     We capitalized general and administrative costs of $0.8 million for the
six-month periods ending June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company
capitalized interest costs of $4.7 million and $6.6 million for the six-month
period ended June 30 2002 and 2001, respectively.

                                       9
<PAGE>
OTHER ASSETS

     Included in other assets are costs associated with the issuance of
long-term debt. These costs are being amortized ratably over the life of the
notes. Total debt issuance costs for the Senior Notes amounted to $4.2 million,
of which $1.8 million has not been amortized as of June 30, 2002. Total debt
issuance costs for the $45 Million Notes amounted to $1.7 million, of which $1.1
million remains unamortized as of June 30, 2002. See Footnote 9 for additional
information on the notes.

PREPAIDS AND OTHER

     Prepaids and other includes $1.1 million of Colombian withholding taxes as
of June 30, 2002. Prepaid taxes consist of $3.1 million in Value Added Tax
credits that can be applied against future income tax payable.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company records revenue using the entitlement method or, simply stated,
presents only its share of revenues. Any oil received and sold by the Company in
excess of its share is recorded as a liability. As of September 30, 2001, the
Company and its partners began to make up 261,987 barrels owed to Ecopetrol
(151,166 net to Seven Seas valued at $3.4 million). During the first quarter of
2002, the Company and its partners satisfied all make up obligations by
delivering to Ecopetrol the remaining 104,821 barrels (60,482 barrels net to
Seven Seas valued at $1.2 million) owed to them.

     The Company recorded a $1.1 million liability in Accounts Payable for
49,000 barrels of oil relating to pipeline sales in excess of the Company's
entitled volumes. The Company expects that the pipeline imbalance will be
settled in the third quarter of 2002.

     The Company sells substantially all of its production to Hocol.

7.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

     The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturity of three
months or less as cash equivalents. The following table sets forth the Company's

     As of June 30, 2002, the Company had working capital of $6.9 million. This
amount includes unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $12.3 million. The
restricted cash and restricted short-term investments total $4.9 million and are
comprised of the following escrow balances: Escuela 2 - $3.6 million, Senior
Notes interest - $1.1 million and Colombian reforestation - $0.2 million. All
restricted balances are offset by current liabilities with the exception of the
Colombian reforestation escrow amounts. During the second quarter of 2002,
working capital decreased by $12.8 million primarily because of drilling
operations. Our remaining non-discretionary cash commitments for 2002 are
limited to the November semi-annual interest payments on the Senior Notes
totaling $6.9 million. The CHK Notes limits additional indebtedness to $1.0
million (see Footnote 9). Continuing operations and drilling activities for the
year must be funded from operational cash flows. All Escuela 2 restricted funds
were expended by the time of this 10-Q filing.

8.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

     Effective January 1, 2001, Seven Seas adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
requiring that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as
either an asset or liability measured at fair value and requires that changes in
fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Hedge accounting treatment allows unrealized gains and losses
on cash flow hedges to be deferred into other comprehensive income (for the
effective portion of the hedge) until such time as the forecasted transaction
occurs. Effectiveness is monitored quarterly and any ineffectiveness is reported
in revenues in the statement of consolidated operations.

     On November 9, 2001, the Company acquired financial put options that
established a monthly average WTI floor price of $20.00


                                       10
<PAGE>

per barrel on 3,750 barrels of crude oil per day beginning January 1, 2002, and
continuing for six months. The put options were acquired for $1,161,000 from a
major commercial bank as a cash flow hedge to ensure the required funds would be
available to fully execute the Company's 2002 exploration and development
program in the event of a further oil price decline. As of June 30, 2002, all of
the put options have been settled. Revenues for the first six-months reflect a
$1,161,000 reduction related to the cash flow hedges settled in the first six
months of 2002 and a $30,000 gain related to the settlement of the January put
options.

9.    DEBT AND LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS:

$45 MILLION FINANCING

CHESAPEAKE SENIOR NOTE ISSUANCE

     On July 23, 2001, Chesapeake Energy Corporation purchased $22.5 million of
senior secured notes ("CHK Notes") with detachable warrants to purchase
12,619,500 shares of Seven Seas common stock at approximately $1.78 per share.
The CHK Notes will bear interest at 12% per annum, compounded quarterly, and
interest will be accrued for the first two years.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS OFFERING

     The Company offered its non-Canadian shareholders of record as of October
8, 2001, in the form of a shareholder rights offering ("Rights Offering"), $22.5
million of Series A senior secured notes ("Series A Notes") with detachable
warrants to purchase 12,619,500 shares at approximately $1.78 per share. The
Series A Notes will bear interest at 12% annum, compounded quarterly, and
interest will accrue for the first two years. As of June 30, 2002, the combined
accrued interest on the CHK Notes and Series A Notes is $5.3 million and is
classified on the balance sheet as long-term interest payable. Accrued interest
will be due at maturity on November 7, 2004. Shareholders purchased
approximately $2 million of Series A Notes with warrants to purchase
approximately 1.1 million shares at an exercise price of $1.78. The remainder of
the Series A Notes were purchased by a group of qualified investors led by
Robert A. Hefner III, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

CHESAPEAKE NOTE COVENANTS

     Pursuant to the Company's agreement under the CHK Notes, $15 million of the
total proceeds from the $45 million financing were escrowed for the drilling of
the Escuela 2 exploration well to test the Subthrust Dindal Prospect, located
below the Guaduas Oil Field. Additionally, for the first two years or until the
CHK Notes are redeemed, if the redemption occurs before July 23, 2003, the
Company will escrow monthly 1/6 of its semi-annual $6.9 million interest payment
on its $110 million Senior Notes.

     The CHK Note covenants preclude the Company from incurring additional
indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000 excluding trade debt incurred in the
ordinary course of business. Also, the Company agreed to secure payment of the
CHK Notes and the Series A Notes by pledging to Chesapeake, as collateral agent,
all of the Company's right, title and interest in and to all of the capital
stock and equity of the subsidiaries of the Company and all dividends,
distributions, proceeds and products thereof or there from.

DISCOUNT ON $45 MILLION NOTES

     The $22.5 million CHK Notes and the $22.5 million Series A Notes are
collectively referred to as the "$45 Million Notes". The $45 Million Notes were
issued along with detachable warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Based
on an independent valuation, the fair market valuation of the detachable
warrants at the date of issuance was determined to be $2.2 million, and the $45
Million Notes were valued at $42.8 million, representing a $2.2 million
discount. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the $45
Million Notes in order to reduce the discount to zero by the due date of the $45
Million Notes. During the first half of 2002, $0.3 million of imputed interest
expense was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cumulative
imputed interest from inception amounts to $0.6 million as of June 30, 2002.

                                       11
<PAGE>

$110 MILLION SENIOR NOTES

     The Company issued $110 million aggregate principal amount of 12-1/2% notes
due 2005 ("Senior Notes") in a private transaction on May 7, 1998 that was not
subject to registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The Senior
Notes mature May 15, 2005. Interest payments of approximately $6.9 million are
due on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

10.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

POPULAR ACTION SUIT

     In February 2002, the Company was served notice of a popular action suit
before the Guaduas Equity Court. The Peoples' Committee for the Environmental
Protection of Guaduas, a local, non-governmental organization, filed this claim.
The plaintiffs are requesting that the courts take the following actions: a)
suspend oil activity on the upper part of the San Francisco River Basin because
that area is a forest reserve and b) suspend the underground waters concession
GHK Colombia has over the El Hoyon aquifer. If the court decided in favor of the
plaintiff's claims, the Company's Escuela 2 drilling operations would cease or
become impaired.

     On April 29, 2002, the Company appeared before the Guaduas Equity Court
stating that the Company has obtained a proper environmental license from the
competent environmental authority to conduct oil exploration activities, drill
the Escuela 2 well in the San Francisco River Basin and use the aquifer water.
The Company also contends that the drilling activities do not affect the basin,
which is an argument that is supported by independent third party studies and
served as the basis to obtain the environmental permit to drill the Escuela 2
well in that area. The purpose of the Court hearing was to gather information.
The Guaduas Equity Court took no actions; however, the Court did acknowledge
that the Colombian Ministry of Environment is a party to this suit. Based on
this acknowledgement, the Company has requested a change of venue to the
Administrative Court in Bogota.

     On July 29, 2002, a court ordered inspection of the Escuela 2 drilling
operations was completed by a court-appointed panel of three experts. The
experts' findings will be presented to the court in approximately 45 days.

     The Company's management and Colombian counsel believe that it is unlikely
the Court will render these adverse rulings.

HEIRS OF NICOLAS BELTRAN FRANCO

     Two of the Company's subsidiaries, Petrolinson and GHK Colombia, along with
the former owner of Petrolinson, Norman Rowlinson and the heirs of Howard Thomas
Corrigan, are defendants in a lawsuit that was filed in Santa Fe de Bogota,
Colombia in 1998. The plaintiffs, who are the heirs of Nicolas Beltran Franco,
have two claims. First, they claim that a de facto company existed between
Nicolas Beltran Franco and the defendants concerning the Dindal and Rio Seco
association contract areas. Second, they claim that before the Dindal and Rio
Seco association contracts were executed, the de facto company conducted
exploration works in the Dindal and Rio Seco association contract areas. The
plaintiffs claim they have the right to participate in income earned from the
Dindal and Rio Seco association contract areas. None of the plaintiffs are party
to the association contracts. However, they are seeking 50% of the income
generated by the de facto company they claim existed. It is not clear what
percentage of the Dindal and Rio Seco association contract areas are covered by
the plaintiffs' claims.

     The Company's management and Colombian counsel believe that it is unlikely
the Court will render these adverse rulings.


11.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

     In April 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, No. 44, and No. 64, Amendment to
FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections." SFAS 145 streamlines the
reporting of debt extinguishments and requires that only gains and loses from
extinguishments meeting the criteria in Accounting Policies Board Opinion 30
would be classified as extraordinary. Thus, gains and losses arising from
extinguishments that are part of a company's recurring operations would not be
reported as an extraordinary item. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after May 15, 2002 with earlier adoption encouraged. We do not expect
the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

     SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities" was issued in June 2002 and addresses accounting and processing for
costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues
Task Force ("EITF") Issue 94-3,

                                       12
<PAGE>
"Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs
to Exit and Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)."
SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or
disposal liability be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue
94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. Under SFAS 146, fair value is the objective for
initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application
encouraged. We do no expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material impact
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     Statement 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, requires
entities to record the fair value of a liability for an assets retirement
obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in
the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002.

     The FASB is currently considering numerous proposals for the adoption of
new accounting pronouncements. We cannot predict whether any of these proposal
will be adopted, and if adopted what effect these proposals, including the
proposal to require the reporting of stock options grants as a compensation
expense, may have on our financial statements.


12.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

   On March 31, 2002, the Company amended a $200,000 unsecured loan to Larry A.
Ray, President and Chief Operating Officer. The new terms provide for an
interest rate of 2.69% with a due date of September 3, 2003. The original
$200,000 loan was made on November 1, 1997 at a 6.06% interest rate and was due
on November 1, 2002. The recently enacted Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 prohibits
any further renewal of the loan.


13.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

    On August 11, 2002, the Government of Colombia declared a "state of
emergency" for 90 days, extendable for another 90 days thereafter. In order to
finance a military build-up to combat ongoing guerilla activity, the Government
placed a 1.2% tax on all businesses with net assets greater than $60,000. It is
too early to estimate the tax effect of this pronouncement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere and with the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

                                    OVERVIEW

     Our principal asset is a 57.7% interest (before participation by Ecopetrol,
the Colombian national oil company) in the Dindal and Rio Seco association
contracts, which cover the area in which the Guaduas Oil Field is located. As of
June 30, 2002, the Ryder Scott Company Petroleum Consultants ("Ryder Scott")
estimated Seven Seas' net proved reserves attributable to the delineation of
7,445 acres of the Guaduas Oil Field were 16.3 million barrels of oil with a
present value discounted continually over the expected life of the production at
10% per annum (the "SEC PV10") of $136.3 million based upon second quarter
ending oil prices. As the operator of the field, we exercise direct supervision
over all field operations, including drilling and production. The other interest
owners are Cimarrona (9.4%), and Sipetrol (32.9%). In May 2000, Ecopetrol
elected not to participate in the development of the Guaduas Oil Field. Together
with our partners, we elected to proceed with field development on a sole-risk
basis, meaning we pay 100% of the costs and receive 100% of the revenues from
production less a fixed 20% Colombian government royalty. After we have
recovered 200% of the development costs and certain exploration costs, Ecopetrol
will have the right to become a 50% working interest partner in the project.

                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

PROVED RESERVES

    Ryder Scott's recently completed report on the Guaduas Oil Field's proved
reserves, as of June 30, 2002, estimates proved reserves at 16.3 million barrels
of oil. This represents an approximate 31.3 million barrel reduction (66%)
compared to Ryder Scott's December 31, 2001 report which estimated proved
reserves of 47.6 million barrels of oil. The SEC PV10 is approximately $136.3
million, or $136.0 million less (50%) than the December 31, 2001 SEC PV10 of
$272.3 million. The SEC PV10 decline was partially offset by higher oil prices
as of June 30, 2002.

                                       13
<PAGE>

   The 66% reduction in reserve volume is attributable to lower oil production
rates, lower production pressures, and the occurrence of rapid gas encroachment
in structurally higher wells in the Guaduas Oil Field. Ryder Scott eliminated
proved reserves located in the structurally higher portion of the producing
reservoir in the revised report as of June 30, 2002.

   The Company's proved reserves as of June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, are
listed in the below table. These reserves consist entirely of crude oil in
Colombia.

 DEVELOPMENT DRILLING PROGRAM

    At the beginning of the third quarter, the Company elected to suspend
further development drilling in the Guaduas Oil Field pending a reassessment of
recently drilled wells, current production data, and the results of planned
production enhancement efforts on existing wells. The last three development
wells had average initial production rates of approximately 700 BOPD.

     Sipetrol proposed drilling an eighth development well, the El Segundo 2-N.
Because a drilling rig was currently on location, the Company had limited time
to evaluate the proposal and ultimately declined to participate. The Company's
future participation in the revenues from the El Segundo 2-S will be subject to
Sipetrol recovering 300% of our share of drilling costs from net operating
revenues.

    A recap of initial and June 2002 production rates for the seven wells
completed as part of our 2001/2002 development drilling program is as follows:

PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

     At the end of May 2002 the Company commenced gas injection operations and a
study directed towards reconfiguration of several electric submersible pumps in
an attempt to optimize oil production. The Company is also implementing a
workover program to enhance production from existing wells consisting of
hydraulic fracture treatments and cement squeezes to curtail water and/or gas
production. The impact of these operations may not be known for several months.

     The Company has injected at rates of up to 4,900 MCF/D or approximately 80%
of the planned injection volume. However, due to possible gas encroachment in
certain parts of the reservoir, the Company now believes that current production
rates, which averaged approximately 7,500 BOPD gross (3,400 net to Seven Seas)
for the second quarter, will not be improved by gas injection. July 2002
production averaged 6,700 BOPD gross (3,100 net to Seven Seas). Production
declines have recently diminished.

EXPLORATION DRILLING

     The Subthrust Dindal Prospect is located below the producing zones of the
Guaduas Oil Field. In December 2001, the Company commenced drilling of the
Escuela 2 exploratory well to test this prospect. The Escuela 2 well was
originally programmed to reach a total measured depth of approximately 18,000
feet. Based on updated geological information, the targeted depth was later
extended to approximately 19,500 feet subject to drilling results and costs.

      As of August 12, 2002, the Escuela 2 exploration well has been drilled to
a total measured depth of 19,109 feet with estimated cumulative costs of $19.1
million. As of August 9, 2002, the $15 million escrowed to drill and complete
the well has been spent.

     The Company believes that the geological information available at this time
indicates that the Escuela 2 is currently drilling in the lower Cretaceous
(Utica-Caballeros) formation with potential reservoir rocks. Seven Seas also
believes it is likely that the Cambao fault has not been encountered. A review
of drilling samples and paleontological work is being carried out on a continual
basis to aid in the geological interpretation. When the well reaches its total
depth, the Company plans to run electric logs for further evaluation.

ASSOCIATION CONTRACTS

     In July 2002, Ecopetrol granted an extension to August 31, 2002 for
purposes of completing an exploration well on the Aguachica Prospect to satisfy
the terms of the Rosablanca Association Contract. Because of delays related to
political uncertainty and security issues in the surrounding area, the Company
has requested at least a drilling extension of at least one month from
Ecopetrol.

     In April 2002, Ecopetrol granted a four-month extension to August 23, 2002
for the Company to comply with its obligations under the first stage of the
Cristales Association Contract exploration period. The Company plans to request
an extension for additional time to complete and evaluate this first stage work
program. Participation in the second year of the association contract requires
an approximate $2.5 million expenditure.

                              OUR CURRENT STRATEGY

     Our strategy for 2002 is currently being reassessed. Beginning in the
second quarter and continuing forward, Guaduas Oil Field production has been
declining. The resulting reduction in cash flows and an estimated $6 million in
additional costs on the Escuela 2 over the budgeted dry hole costs through
August 12, 2002, have materially weakened the Company's cash flow and working
capital position. There is now a risk that the November 15, 2002 $6.9 million
interest payment on the $110 million Senior Notes will not be made.

     The Company has elected to suspend development drilling operations pending
a complete a review of all geological, geophysical, and reservoir engineering
data. The Company is currently implementing a well workover program in an effort
to increase production from existing wells. Additionally, the decision whether
to drill the Santa Fe #1 well, an exploratory test of our Aguachica prospect,
has been delayed due to political uncertainty and security issues in the
surrounding area (the prospect is located in the northern part of the country,
approximately 220 miles northwest of Bogota). The Company has requested a
drilling extension of at least one month from Ecopetrol.

     In light of the material reduction to the Company's June 30, 2002 proved
reserves (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Footnote 4), the
Company has begun discussions with our secured debt holders ($22.5 million CHK
Notes and $22.5 million Series A Notes). These discussions involve the Company's
current financial position and various go-forward scenarios that could include a
sale of assets.

     The Company does not have a bank line of credit and our only source of
working capital is from operating cash flows. Therefore, the Company remains
dependent on Guaduas Oil Field production. If production is interrupted for an
extended period of time, or if prices decline for an extended period of time, or
if the Escuela 2 costs significantly exceed the current $19.1 million in
expenditures, cash reserves may decline to the point where the payment of the
semiannual interest on the $110 million Senior Notes would become uncertain. In
May 2002, the Company said that it "believes that at present oil prices,
revenues from current levels of production will continue to exceed operating
expenses, general and administrative costs, and debt interest payments." Due to
recent declines in production, the Company now believes that revenues from
current production are insufficient to cover the aforementioned costs.

DEVELOPMENT

     Our 2001/2002 nine well development drilling program has been suspended
after the successful completion of the first seven wells. Additionally, an
existing well has been converted to a gas injection well as part of our gas
injection program. Sipetrol proposed an additional development well, the El
Segundo 2-S. Because a drilling rig was currently on-location, the Company had
limited time to evaluate the proposal and ultimately declined to participate.
The Company's future participation in the revenues from El Segundo 2-S will be
subject to Sipetrol recovering 300% of our share of drilling costs from future
net operating revenues.

EXPLORATION

On December 6, 2001, we commenced drilling the Escuela 2 subthrust exploratory
test. Refer to previous comments under "Recent Developments-Exploration
Drilling."

    By August 31, 2002, we are committed to drill an exploratory well to test
the Aguachica prospect under the Rosablanca association contract. The proposed
Santa Fe 1 well is planned to a projected depth of 3,500 feet at a total gross
cost of approximately $1.0 million. We will incur 100% of these costs. Due to
political uncertainty and security issues in the surrounding area, Seven Seas is
requesting an extension of at least one month to drill the well.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

WORKING CAPITAL

     As of June 30, 2002, the Company had working capital of $6.9 million. The
working capital amount includes unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $12.3
million as of June 30, 2002. Restricted cash and short-term investments totaling
$4.9 million are comprised of the following escrow balances: Escuela2 - $3.6
million, Senior Notes interest - $1.1 million and Colombian reforestation - $0.2
million. All restricted balances are offset by current liabilities with the
exception of the Colombian reforestation escrow amounts. During the second
quarter of 2002, working capital decreased by $12.8 million primarily because of
drilling operations. Our remaining non-discretionary cash commitments for 2002
are limited to the November semi-annual interest payments on the Senior Notes
totaling $6.9 million. The CHK Notes limits additional indebtedness to $1.0
million. Continuing operations and drilling activities for the year must be
funded from operational cash flows.

     During the six-month periods ending June 30, 2002 and 2001, cash flows
provided by operating activities were $8.2 million and $3.7 million,
respectively.

EQUITY AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

     As of June 30, 2002, we had 37,920,555 outstanding common shares, par value
of $0.001 per share, of which none are restricted.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

     For the three months ended June 30, 2002 (the "Current Quarter"), we
incurred a net loss of $108.6 million or $2.86 per common share, including a
non-cash writedown of oil and gas properties of $106.1 million. This compares to
a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per common share during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 (the "Prior Quarter").

     Crude oil sales in the Current Quarter increased by $4.7 million to $5.9
million as compared to the Prior Quarter largely because of the July 2001
commencement of pipeline operations and the ongoing development drilling
program. The Current Quarter had total sales of 286,469 barrels at an average
price of $22.08 per barrel. The Prior Quarter had total sales of 60,331 barrels
at an average price of $19.89 per barrel. The effect of the put option
settlement during the second quarter 2002 resulted in a $0.6 million decrease in
revenues for the Current Quarter.

     Oil production in the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter were 313,700
barrels and 113,400 barrels respectively.

     Depletion, depreciation and amortization costs increased by $1.2 million to
$1.7 million in the Current Quarter as compared to


                                       16
<PAGE>
$0.5 million in the Prior Quarter. The increase is primarily the result of
increased production and the amortization associated with the $45 million notes.

     Operating expenses in the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter were $1.0
million and $1.1 million, respectively.

     General and administrative costs were $1.3 million and $1.6 million for the
Current Quarter and Prior Quarter respectively. The $0.3 million decrease is
primarily attributable to a decline in consulting and legal expenses.

     Interest expense increased by $2.6 million to $2.8 million in the Current
Quarter as compared to Prior Quarter. The $2.6 million increase is the result of
$1.6 million of additional interest expense associated with $45 Million Notes
and the year-end reduction of unevaluated property costs that resulted in a $0.8
million reduction in capitalized interest costs, and $0.2 million imputed
interest on warrants.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

     For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 (the "Current Period"), we
incurred a net loss of $108.4 million, or $2.86 per common share, including a
non-cash writedown of oil and gas properties of $106.1 million. This compares to
a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per common share during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2001 (the "Prior Period").

     Crude oil sales in the Current Period increased by $8.9 million to $13.5
million as compared to the Prior Period largely because of the July 2001
commencement of pipeline operations and the ongoing development drilling
program. The Current Period had total sales of 735,171 barrels at an average
price of $19.85 per barrel. The Prior Period had total sales of 224,062 barrels
at an average price of $20.53 per barrel. The effect of the put option
settlement during the second quarter 2002 resulted in a $1.1 million reduction
in net income.

     Oil production in the Current Period and Prior Period were 735,200 barrels
and 280,100 barrels respectively.

     Depletion, depreciation and amortization costs increased $2.8 million to
$4.2 million in the Current Period as compared to $1.4 million in the Prior
Period. The increase is primarily the result of increased production and the
amortization on the $45 Million Notes.

     Operating expenses in the Current Period and Prior Period was $2.3 million
and $2.1 million, respectively. The $0.2 million increase is related to
increased production.

     General and administrative costs were $2.3 million and $3.1 million for the
Current Period and Prior Period respectively. The $0.8 million decrease is
largely attributable to significant legal and consulting expenses relating to
the Company's change in domicile from Canada to the Cayman Islands incurred in
the prior period.

     Interest expense increased by $5.2 million to $5.6 million in the Current
Period compared to Prior Period. The $5.2 million increase is the result of $2.9
million of additional interest expense associated with the $45 Million Notes,
the $2.0 million reduction in capitalized interest costs related to unevaluated
property, and $0.3 million in imputed interest on warrants.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We are exposed to market risk, including adverse changes in commodity
prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as discussed below.
For a more thorough discussion of risks, refer to the Annual Report 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2001.

COMMODITY RISK

     The market prices for oil and natural gas historically have been volatile
and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Oil and natural gas
prices may fluctuate in response to relatively minor changes in supply of and
demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional
factors that are beyond our control. Decreases in oil and natural gas prices
will adversely affect our future revenues, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, decreases in oil and natural gas prices may impede our ability to
raise additional capital.

                                       17
<PAGE>
INTEREST RATE RISK

We consider our interest rate risk exposure to be minimal as a result of a fixed
interest rate on the $110 million 12 1/2% Senior Notes and 12% Chesapeake Note
and Series A Notes. We currently have no open interest rate swap agreements.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

     We conduct business in a foreign currency and are subject to foreign
currency exchange rate risk on cash flows related to certain sales, expenses and
capital expenditures. However, because predominately all transactions in our
existing foreign operations are denominated in U.S. dollars, the U.S. dollar is
the functional currency for all operations.
