<FONT size="2">In this annual report, references to &#147;United
States&#148; or &#147;U.S.&#148; are to the United States of
America, references to &#147;U.S. dollars&#148;, &#147;$&#148;
or &#147;U.S.$&#148; are to United States dollars, references to
&#147;France&#148; are to the Republic of France, and references
to &#147;Euro&#148; or
&#147;<FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>&#148; are
to the single currency introduced at the start of the third
stage of European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We present our consolidated financial statements
in euro. We presented our consolidated financial statements in
French francs for periods through December 31, 2000; however, we
have adopted the euro as our reporting currency for the periods
after January&nbsp;1, 2001. We have restated our 2000 annual
consolidated financial statements in euro at the fixed exchange
rate of
<FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>1.00&nbsp;=
FF&nbsp;6.55957. Although these statements depict the same
trends as would have been shown had they been presented in
French francs, they may not be directly comparable to the
financial statements of other companies originally reported in a
currency other than the French franc and subsequently restated
in euro. Prior to the adoption of the euro, the currencies of
other countries fluctuated against the French franc, but because
the euro did not exist prior to January&nbsp;1, 1999, historical
exchange rates for euro are not available. A comparison of our
financial statements and those of another company that had
historically used a reporting currency other than the French
franc that takes into account actual fluctuations in exchange
rates could be materially different from a comparison of our
financial statements and those of another company as translated
into euro.

<FONT size="2">For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2000 there
were no material differences between French GAAP and

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under the Treaty on European Union negotiated at
Maastricht, The Netherlands, in 1991 (the &#147;Maastricht
Treaty&#148;) and signed by the then 12&nbsp;EU Member States in
early 1992, the European Monetary Union (the &#147;EMU&#148;),
with a single European currency under the monetary control of
the European Central Bank, was introduced. On January&nbsp;1,
1999, the last stage of the EMU came into effect with the
adoption of fixed exchange rates between national currencies and
the euro. On January&nbsp;1, 2002, the euro became the official
currency of the following 12&nbsp;EU Member States: Austria,
Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. As a result,
national currencies (including the French franc) ceased to exist
during the first quarter of 2002, after transition periods
during which national currencies of such Member States and the
euro co-existed.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The establishment of the EMU may have a
significant effect on the economies of the participant
countries. Whereas the introduction of the euro has eliminated
exchange rate risks in respect of the currencies of those member
states that have adopted the euro, there can be no assurance as
to the relative strength of the euro against other currencies.

<B><FONT size="2">Exchange Rates</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The following table sets forth, for the periods
and dates indicated, certain information concerning the exchange
rates for the French franc for the years 1997 and 1998,
expressed in French francs per U.S. dollar, and for the euro
since 1999, expressed in U.S. dollars per euro. Information
concerning the U.S. dollar exchange rate is based on the noon
buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign
currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (the &#147;Noon Buying Rate&#148;).
Such rates are provided solely for convenience and no
representation is made that French francs or euro were, could
have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at these
rates or at any other rate. Such rates were not used by us in
the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this annual report. The Noon Buying Rate
on May&nbsp;9, 2003 was U.S.$1.15 per euro.

<FONT size="2">The markets for oil and gas historically have

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Historically, there has been an average lag of
six months between recovery in the market for petroleum products
and implementation by oil companies of projects requiring
seismic services. The significant decline in crude oil prices
that began in 1998 caused a substantial decline in demand for
our products and services in 1998 and 1999 and materially
adversely affected our results of operations for 1998 and 1999.
While oil and gas prices have risen since mid-1999, we did not
experience a significant increase in demand for our products and
services until the fourth quarter of 2000. Since then, demand
for seismic services has gradually increased, despite the
economic slowdown and lower energy demand of late 2001.
Furthermore, the events of September&nbsp;11, 2001 have created
significant uncertainty in the current outlook. In addition to
the human toll that was exacted, the events of
September&nbsp;11, 2001 have exacerbated a recent weakening in
the global economy that could potentially have an adverse effect
on our industry. The dynamics of the global oil and gas market
could be further unsettled as the political reaction to
September&nbsp;11, 2001 and, more recently, the military
operations in Iraq may possibly affect the Middle Eastern
producing region, an area in which we are particularly active.
Any sustained decrease in worldwide oil and gas demand and
prices could reduce exploration and development activities and
negatively affect our operations. We cannot assure you as to
future oil and gas prices or the resulting level of industry
spending for exploration, production and development activities.

<FONT size="2">Most of our contracts are obtained through a
competitive bidding process, which is standard for the industry
in which we operate. While no single company competes with us in
all of our segments, we are subject to intense competition with
respect to each of our segments. We compete with large,
international companies as well as smaller, local companies. In
addition, we compete with major service providers and
government-sponsored enterprises and affiliates. Some of our
competitors operate more data acquisition crews than we do and
have substantially greater financial and other resources. These
and other competitors may be better positioned to withstand and
adjust more quickly to volatile market conditions, such as
fluctuations in oil and gas prices and production levels, and
changes in government regulations.

Our syndicated credit facility imposes operating and financial
restrictions on our business. These provisions include
limitations on our ratios of net debt to equity and net debt to
EBITDA and require us to maintain minimum levels of net worth.
In addition, certain of these provisions grant liens on our
accounts receivable and those of our subsidiary, Sercel S.A. Our
10&nbsp;5/8% senior notes also contain restrictive covenants,
including restrictions on payments and investments, the
incurrence of indebtedness, the creation of liens, the entry
into sale and leaseback transactions, the issuance and sale of
subsidiary stock and the payment of dividends and other payments
by certain of our subsidiaries. Many of the restrictions
contained in these covenants depend on our ability to meet
certain ratios and tests with respect to consolidated interest
coverage, total assets and net income. These provisions may
negatively affect our ability to react to changes in market
conditions, take advantage of business opportunities we believe

expenditures, significantly increase research and development
expenditures, or withstand a continuing or future downturn in
our business.

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Industry Conditions</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Overall demand for geophysical services is
dependent upon spending by oil and gas companies for
exploration, production, development and field management
activities. This spending depends in part on present and
expected future oil and gas prices. Oil and gas prices increased
significantly from mid-1999 through 2000, resulting in a modest
increase in spending on geophysical services by our clients. In
early 2001, economic conditions in Europe and the United States
began to deteriorate, and oil and gas prices declined. The
events of September&nbsp;11, 2001 compounded the worsening
economic climate. These conditions, in turn, resulted in a
reduction in energy demand and downward pressure on energy
prices, particularly gas in North America. Nevertheless, the
seismic industry market continued its recovery, albeit at a
slower rate. We believe that this resilience resulted in
particular from the need by the oil and gas industry to replace
reserves (which are currently being depleted at a rate estimated
by industry analysts at 5 to 10% per year).
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The worsening geopolitical climate which
prevailed during the second half of 2002 caused a perception of
potential oil and gas shortages in the overall economy, which in
turn caused oil and gas prices to rise.

<DIV align="left">
<FONT size="2">Nevertheless, as a result of a growth in economic
uncertainty, the increase in prices did not have a positive
impact on our industry.
</FONT>
</DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The oil and gas industry has increasingly relied
on the use of 3D seismic data, which has fueled the growth in
demand for geophysical services. The greater precision and
improved subsurface resolution obtainable from 3D seismic data,
combined with advanced processing techniques, have assisted oil
and gas companies in finding new fields and more accurately
delineating existing fields. These improved technologies have
been key factors in improving drilling success ratios and
lowering finding and field extension costs. Advanced
4D&nbsp;technology (using time as the fourth dimension) is also
enhancing production monitoring methodologies and the management
of existing oil and gas reservoirs by recording fluid movement
in the reservoir. In addition, advances in technology have
significantly reduced the size, weight, cost and power
requirements of seismic data acquisition systems and increased
the quality and quantity of data available to geoscientists.
These improved technologies, coupled with advances in drilling
and completion techniques, are significantly enhancing the
ability of oil and gas companies to explore for, develop and
manage oil and gas reserves cost-effectively.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We believe that the continued enhancement of our
proprietary seismic data recording equipment and software will
help us to remain among the leading providers of 3D land seismic
surveys. We believe that our proprietary equipment and software
provide us with a competitive advantage in specific growth
markets, such as data acquisition in transition zones and
difficult terrain, where recent technological advances have made
seismic acquisition more feasible. We intend to focus on
developing our technological capabilities in emerging markets
for geophysical services, such as reservoir appraisal and
production monitoring. We believe that, due to our extensive
international experience, we also have a competitive advantage
in certain geographic markets such as Europe, Africa, the Middle
East and Latin America, where we have been operating longer than
many of our competitors. We also believe that we have unique
experience and expertise in complex land acquisition projects, a
market that we expect may grow within the next several years.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">To continue developing our marine acquisition
services and to strengthen our position in this market segment,
we significantly upgraded our fleet capacity with the launch in
1999 of the <I>CGG&nbsp;Aliz&#233; </I>and the acquisition in
January 2001 of two marine seismic vessels from Aker. We
improved our capacity with a technological upgrade of the <I>CGG
Mistral</I>, completed in the first half of 2002, but in
December&nbsp;21, 2002, the <I>Mistral</I> sank, after an
accidental fire broke out onboard. See
&#147;Offshore&nbsp;SBU&#148;.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We intend to strengthen our position in the
marine seismic market for non-exclusive data by further
developing our non-exclusive data library. We believe that a
strong position in this market segment is vital to enhance
further our global competitive position, as it will assist us to
adapt to current market demand and may provide opportunities for
significant future sales. Our policy is to develop our
non-exclusive data library, while carefully selecting survey
opportunities in order to monitor our investment closely.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Given the growing importance of geophysics in
reservoir characterization, we intend to further develop the
synergies between our data processing and reservoir services.
This approach places us in a better position to meet the
requirements of our clients with an extensive range of
integrated services. We also intend to increase our processing
capability in developing disciplines, such as lithology
prediction (identification of the rock layers covering and
surrounding the oil trap), as well as applications relating to
reservoir description and monitoring, including 3D pre-stack
depth imaging, multi-component and 4D studies. We also plan to
continue promoting and developing our dedicated processing

their individual needs and to add measurable value to their
business processes. We respond to these needs by creating new
products or product enhancements that improve the quality of
data and reduce the data delivery time to clients. We believe
that our regional multi-client and dedicated data processing
centers in our clients&#146; offices provide us with an
advantage in identifying contract opportunities, optimizing
service to clients and developing products responsive to new
market demands, such as seismic techniques applied to reservoir
management. We believe that we are well positioned to benefit
from the industry trend towards increased outsourcing that is
leading oil and gas companies to place greater emphasis on
relationships and service quality, including health, safety and
protection of the environment, in their selection of geophysical
services providers. We will continue to monitor our strategy
towards service to clients through:

<FONT size="2">We are committed to providing clients with a full
array of seismic data services, from acquisition and processing
to data interpretation and management. We believe that
integration of compatible technology and equipment increases the
accuracy of data acquisition and processing, enhances the
quality of our client service and thereby improves productivity
in oil and gas exploration and production. Our clients
increasingly seek integrated solutions to better evaluate known
reserves and improve the ratio of recoverable hydrocarbons from
producing fields. We are continuing to develop our ability to
provide geoscience solutions through a combination of various
exploration and production services, including technical data
management, reservoir characterization and interpretation of
well information.

<FONT size="2">We believe that consolidation in the seismic
industry is the most promising avenue toward a recovery of
margins and return on capital employed in the market that
suffers from overcapacity and low pricing. In order to
potentially play a leading role in this consolidation process,
we acquired a 7.51% stake in Petroleum Geo Service ASA
(&#147;PGS&#148;) in September 2002, which permits us to be
involved in the restructuring process of PGS, without exposing
our shareholders to that company&#146;s current level of
indebtedness, beyond the

increased efficiency. We have established a network of country
managers responsible for promoting our entire spectrum of
products and services in our main markets, focusing on providing

<FONT size="2">We are a leading land seismic contractor outside
of North America. At December&nbsp;31, 2002, we had 17 land
crews performing specialized 3D and 2D seismic surveys, out of
which 12 were recording data. Revenues from our Land SBU
accounted for 25% and 26% of our revenues in 2001 and 2002,
respectively.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I><FONT size="2">Land Seismic Acquisition.
</FONT></I><FONT size="2">Land seismic acquisition includes all
seismic surveying techniques where the recording sensor is
either in direct contact with, or in close proximity to, the
ground. Our Land SBU offers integrated services, including the
acquisition and processing of seismic data on land, in
transition zones and on the ocean floor (seabed surveys). We
believe that our expertise in harsh environments,
environmentally sensitive areas and transition zones provides us
with a competitive advantage in our principal markets: Europe,
Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. These areas
present higher barriers to entry and are less sensitive to
pricing competition due to difficult working environments and
the complexity of the projects. In Saudi Arabia, our land
seismic acquisition activities are conducted through Arabian
Geophysical &#38; Surveying Co. (&#147;Argas&#148;), a joint
venture owned 49% by us and 51% by Petromin, our local partner.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I><FONT size="2">Description of Activity.
</FONT></I><FONT size="2">Seismic surveying on land is carried
out by installing geophones linked to digital recorders that are
used to receive the signals from reflected acoustical waves.
Vibroseismic vehicles are the preferred method of generating
acoustical waves since the frequency of the waves they emit can
be precisely modulated by a computerized system and is less
susceptible to noise or error. In difficult terrain or
transition zones, however, other methods of generating
acoustical waves must be utilized, such as explosives or
airguns. For the year 2002, approximately 46% of our land
seismic studies used vibroseismic vehicles, 40% used explosives
and 14% used airguns.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Seismic surveying in transition zones and seabeds
is carried out by laying cables or other stationary measuring
devices on the ocean floor. Ocean bottom cables allow seismic
surveys to be conducted in areas not accessible to marine
vessels, such as shallow water or the area around drilling
platforms. Ocean bottom cables also provide high quality seismic
data because they are in direct contact with the ocean floor.

<FONT size="2">Our land seismic crews are equipped with advanced
proprietary equipment and software used in each stage of the
land seismic acquisition process, including:

possible. We have designed shallow draft boats and ultra-light
drilling equipment to facilitate operations in such sensitive
zones. This equipment can be transferred safely and rapidly from
one area to another. We also work in conjunction with the local
community at site locations, hiring local employees and
obtaining necessary local authorizations to alleviate potential
opposition to our operations.
</FONT>
</DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The difficulty of access to survey sites is a
major factor in determining the number of personnel required to
carry out a survey and the cost of a survey. Fully staffed land
or transition zone areas range in size from 40 to
3,000&nbsp;members (principally composed of local employees in
the latter case), and the cost of a survey can range from
several hundred thousand to several million dollars per month,
depending on the size of the team and the type and difficulty of
the study.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We work closely with our clients to plan surveys
in accordance with their specifications. This provides us with a
competitive advantage in being selected to carry out surveys,

one of which we operate under time charter indirectly in
partnership with LDA. Time charters allow us to change vessels
in order to keep pace with market developments and provide us
with the security of continued access to vessels without the
significant investment required for ownership. LDA also supplies
crews for the three vessels not wholly owned by us (other than
persons directly involved in seismic data acquisition). LDA has
provided some of the additional capital necessary to modernize
the vessels and has renegotiated the time charters for such
vessels following their reconfiguration.

approximately 66% of our marine seismic activities in 2002 as a
result of two new multiclient programs we launched. The first
covers in the Gulf of Mexico, the Garden Banks and the
Mississippi Atwater Valley and totals 8,370&nbsp;km<SUP>2</SUP>

is in Brazil. Both are highly pre-committed by clients.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Exclusive contract surveys generally provide for
us to be paid a fixed fee per square kilometer of data acquired.
When we acquire marine seismic data on an exclusive basis, the
customer directs the scope and extent of the survey and retains
ownership of the data obtained. In regions where there is
extensive petroleum exploration, such as Brazil, the Gulf of
Mexico, West Africa and the North Sea, we also undertake
multi-client (or non-exclusive) surveys whereby we retain
ownership of the seismic data. This enables us to license
multiple companies to use the data. As a result, we have the
potential to obtain multiple and higher revenues, while our
customers who license the data have the opportunity to pay lower
prices. Our policy is generally to require a minimum share of
the estimated cost of each multi-client survey to be covered by
pre-sales to clients prior to commencement. We treat these
multi-client projects as investments. In determining whether to
undertake multi-client surveys, we consider factors that include
the availability of initial participants to underwrite a share
of the costs to acquire such data, the location to be surveyed,
the probability and timing of any future lease concessions and
development activity in the area and the availability, quality
and price of competing data.

<FONT size="2">our business. However, no single patent
trademark, copyright, license or piece of technical information
is of material importance to our business when taken as a whole.
As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, we held 60&nbsp;patents in respect
of different products and processes worldwide. The duration of
these patents varies from four to 20&nbsp;years, depending upon
the date filed and the duration of protection granted by each
country.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Most contracts are obtained through a competitive
bidding process, which is standard for the industry in which we
operate. Important factors in awarding contracts include service
quality, technological capacity, performance, reputation,
experience of personnel, customer relations and long-standing
relationships, as well as price. While no single company
competes with us in all of our segments, we are subject to
intense competition with respect to each of our segments. We
compete with large, international companies as well as smaller,
local companies. In addition, we compete with major service
providers and government-sponsored enterprises and affiliates.
Some of our competitors operate more data acquisition crews than
we do and have substantially greater financial and other
resources.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We believe that consolidation in the seismic
industry is the most promising avenue toward a recovery of
margins and return on capital employed in a market that suffers
from overcapacity and low pricing. It is our intent, on a
long-term basis, to work toward consolidation of the industry.
In order to potentially play a leading role in this
consolidation process, we acquired a 7.51% stake in PGS in
September 2002, which permits us to be involved in the
restructuring process of PGS, without exposing our shareholders
to the current level of indebtedness of PGS, beyond the
<FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>7.3&nbsp;million
initially invested. At December&nbsp;31, 2002, we recorded this
investment in our books for
<FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>3.2&nbsp;million.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our principal competitor for the manufacture of
seismic survey equipment is Input/ Output Inc. The market for
seismic survey equipment is highly competitive and is
characterized by continual and rapid technological change. We
believe that technology is the principal basis for competition
in this market as oil and gas companies have increasingly
demanded new equipment for activities such as reservoir
management and data acquisition in difficult terrain. Oil and
gas companies have also become more demanding with regard to the
quality of data acquired. Other competitive factors include
price and customer support services.

<FONT size="2">Overall demand for geophysical services is
dependent upon spending by oil and gas companies for
exploration, production, development and field management
activities. This spending depends in part on present and
expected future oil and gas prices. Oil and gas prices increased
significantly from mid-1999 through 2000, resulting in a modest
increase in spending on geophysical services by our clients. In
early 2001, economic conditions in Europe and the United States
began to deteriorate, and oil and gas prices declined. The
events of September&nbsp;11, 2001 compounded the worsening
economic climate. These conditions, in turn, resulted in a
reduction in energy demand and downward pressure on energy
prices, particularly gas prices in North America. Energy prices
in 2002 fluctuated at a more favorable level in the second half
of the year and continued to move at high levels during the
first quarter of 2003 in an environment of uncertainty stemming
from the Iraq crisis. We believe that beyond the current
short-term outlook, the need by the major oil and gas operators
to replace reserves (which are currently being depleted at a
rate estimated by industry analysts at 5% to 10% per year) will
be a factor tending to support energy prices and increase demand
for our services.

<FONT size="2">Our revenues for 2002 decreased 13% compared with
revenues for 2001. Expressed in U.S.&nbsp;dollars, the decrease
amounted to 8%. The decrease resulted primarily from a slowdown
in our Products segment, which experienced a decrease in
revenues (excluding intra-group sales) of 34% for 2002 compared
to 2001, as a result of a weaker equipment market globally.
Expressed in U.S.&nbsp;dollars, the decrease amounted to 30%.
Revenues for 2002 for our Land&nbsp;SBU decreased 8% compared to
2001. Revenues from our Offshore&nbsp;SBU were stable despite
the sale of our radio positioning business in December 2001 and
the upgrading of the <I>CGG Mistral</I>, which put it out of
service from January through July 2002. Revenues from our
Processing&nbsp;&#38; Reservoir SBU increased 14% for 2002
compared to 2001. Our backlog as of December&nbsp;31, 2002 was

<FONT size="2">Our results of operations have also been affected
by higher proportion of non-exclusive surveys in 2002 when
compared to 2001 because non-exclusive surveys have larger
initial financing requirements. In 2001, our marine seismic
activities were fairly balanced between exclusive and
non-exclusive surveys, with non-exclusive surveys accounting for
approximately 43% of our marine seismic activities in 2001. For
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, non-exclusive surveys
accounted for approximately 66% of our marine seismic activities
due to an important survey conducted in Brazil during the year
2002 that was highly pre-committed.

<FONT size="2">We operate in an essentially U.S.
dollar-denominated environment in which the introduction of the
euro has had limited consequences. On January&nbsp;1, 1999, 11
member states of the European Union, including France, where we
have our headquarters, adopted fixed exchange rates between
their national currencies and the euro. On January&nbsp;1, 2002,
the euro became the official currency of 12 European Union
countries. As a result, their national currencies (including the
French franc) ceased to exist during the year.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As part of our ongoing systems updates, we have
made the necessary modifications to our existing information,
financial and management control systems and software to permit
us to bill, invoice and report in euro. As of January&nbsp;1,
2001 we adopted the euro as our reporting currency. The total
cost of addressing the euro issue has not been material to our
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Fluctuations</FONT></I></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As a company that derives a substantial amount of
its revenue from sales internationally, we are subject to risks
relating to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2002 and the years ended
December&nbsp;31, 2001 and 2000 over 90% of our operating
revenues and approximately two-thirds of our operating expenses
were denominated in currencies other than the euro. These
included the U.S.&nbsp;dollar and, to a significantly lesser
extent, other non-euro Western European currencies, principally
the British pound and the Norwegian kroner. In addition, a
significant portion of our revenues that were invoiced in euros
related to contracts that were effectively priced in
U.S.&nbsp;dollars, as the U.S.&nbsp;dollar often serves as the
reference currency when bidding for contracts to provide
geophysical services.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the euro
against such other currencies, particularly the
U.S.&nbsp;dollar, have had in the past and can be expected in
future periods to have a significant effect upon our results of
operations. Since we participate in competitive bids for data
acquisition contracts that are denominated in U.S.&nbsp;dollars,
an appreciation of the U.S.&nbsp;dollar against the euro
improves our competitive position against that of other
companies whose costs and expenses are denominated in
U.S.&nbsp;dollars. For financial reporting purposes, such
appreciation positively affects our reported results of
operations since U.S.&nbsp;dollar-denominated earnings that are
converted to euros are stated at an increased value.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We attempt to match foreign currency revenues and
expenses in order to balance our net position of receivables and
payables denominated in foreign currencies. For example, charter
costs for our five vessels, as well as our most important
computer hardware leases, are denominated in U.S.&nbsp;dollars.
Nevertheless, during the past five years such dollar-denominated
expenses have not equaled dollar-denominated revenues
principally due to personnel costs payable in euros.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In order to improve the balance of our net
position of receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies, we maintain a portion of our financing in
U.S.&nbsp;dollars. At December&nbsp;31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 our
total outstanding long-term debt denominated in
U.S.&nbsp;dollars amounted to
U.S.$273&nbsp;(<FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>260&nbsp;million),
U.S.$181&nbsp;million
(<FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>203&nbsp;million)
and U.S.$187&nbsp;million

of our total long-term debt outstanding at such dates.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In addition, to be protected against the
reduction in value of future foreign currency cash flows, we
follow a policy of selling U.S.&nbsp;dollars forward at average

a lesser extent, is carried out with respect to contracts

in, and receive payments in the currencies of, certain countries
with historically high levels of inflation, such as Mexico,

attributable to activities, principally in land acquisition,
carried on outside of France. We have significant tax loss

activities are seasonal in nature. We generally experience
decreased revenues in the first quarter of each year due to the
effects of weather conditions in the Northern Hemisphere and to
the fact that our principal clients are generally not prepared
to fully commit their annual exploration budget to specific
projects during such period. We have historically experienced
higher levels of activity in our equipment manufacturing
operations in the fourth quarter as our clients seek to fully
deploy annual budgeted capital.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;141,
Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. Additionally, SFAS No.&nbsp;141 requires the
use of the purchase method of accounting for all business
combinations initiated after June&nbsp;30, 2001. SFAS
No.&nbsp;141 requires intangible assets to be recognized if they
arise from contractual or legal rights or are
&#147;separable&#148;, i.e.,&nbsp;it is feasible that they may
be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, exchanged or pledged. As
a result, it is likely that more intangible assets will be
recognized under SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;141 than under its
predecessor, Accounting Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;)
Opinion No.&nbsp;16, although in some instances previously
recognized intangibles are to be subsumed into goodwill.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;141 requires that upon adoption of SFAS
No.&nbsp;142, that companies reclassify the carrying amounts of
certain intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria of
SFAS No.&nbsp;141.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under SFAS No.&nbsp;142, goodwill is no longer
amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful
life, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis and
whenever indicators of impairment arise. The goodwill impairment
test, which is based on fair value, is performed on a reporting
unit level. A reporting unit is defined as a SFAS No.&nbsp;131
operating segment or one level lower. Goodwill is no longer be
allocated to other long-lived assets for impairment testing,
under SFAS No.&nbsp;121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be disposed of.
Additionally, goodwill on equity method investments is no longer
amortized; however, it continues to be tested for impairment in
accordance with APB Opinion No.&nbsp;18, The Equity Method of
Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. Under SFAS
No.&nbsp;142, intangible assets with indefinite lives are not
amortized; instead they are carried at the lower of cost or
market value and tested for impairment at least annually. All
other recognized intangible assets continue to be amortized over
their estimated useful lives.

<FONT size="2">SFAS No.&nbsp;142 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001, although goodwill on
business combinations consummated after July&nbsp;1, 2001 will
not be amortized. We adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;141 and 142 on
January&nbsp;1, 2002 and have not had to record any impairment.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS
No.&nbsp;144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No.&nbsp;144 establishes a single
accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by a
sale consistent with the fundamental provisions of SFAS
No.&nbsp;121. While it supersedes portions of APB Opinion 30,
Reporting the Results of Operations&nbsp;&#151; Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions, it retains the discontinued operations
presentation, yet it broadens that presentation to include a
component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business).
However, discontinued operations are no longer recorded as net
realizable value and future operating losses are no longer
recognized before they occur. SFAS No. 144 also establishes
criteria for determining when an asset should be treated as held
for sale. SFAS No.&nbsp;144 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001 and interim periods
within those fiscal years, with an early application encouraged.
The provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;144 are generally to be applied
prospectively. We adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;144 on January&nbsp;1,

<FONT size="2">Under French law, the Board of Directors
determines our business strategy and monitors business
implementation. Subject to the specific powers granted by the
ordinary general shareholders&#146; meeting, the Board of
Directors deals with any issues relating to our affairs. In
particular, the Board of Directors prepares and presents the
year-end accounts to the ordinary general shareholders meeting.
Our Board of Directors consists of between six and fifteen
members elected by our shareholders. Each director must own at
least one director-qualifying share. Under French law, a
director may be an individual or a legal entity for which an
individual is appointed as permanent representative.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our <I>statuts</I> (memorandum and articles of
association) provide that each director is elected for a
six-year term by the ordinary general shareholders&#146;
meeting. There is no obligation for directors to be French
nationals. According to French corporate law, the number of
terms that a director may serve is limited to five.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Directors are required to comply with applicable
law and our <I>statuts</I>. Under French law, directors are
responsible for actions taken by them that are contrary to the
company&#146;s interests and may be held liable for such actions
both individually and jointly with the other directors.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The following table sets forth the names of our
current directors, their positions, the dates of their initial
appointment as directors (or, in the case of shareholder
representatives, the date from which the shareholder became
entitled to appoint a director) and the expiration dates of
their current term.

achievement of financial targets for items such as consolidated
net income, operating income and free cash flow of our various
activities and upon completion of certain individual qualitative
objectives. With this bonus, the aggregate compensation may
substantially vary from one year to another. The bonus due to

course of such meetings, the Audit Committee reviewed the draft
2001 accounts, the semi-annual accounts and the updated
forecasts of the financial year, in each case before they were
presented to the Board. The Audit Committee informed the Board
of its opinion on such accounts and forecasts. As part of its
mission, the Audit Committee also met with our external auditors
who communicated to the Audit Committee the scope and results of
their work. The Audit Committee was consulted when we issued
U.S.$&nbsp;55&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of
10&nbsp;5/8% Senior Notes in February 2002, which notes were

our operational and financial risks and on the basis of a
systematic review of the entities in each SBU every three years.

our balance sheet.

shareholders&#146; agreement dated January&nbsp;31, 1995.
Pursuant to the shareholders&#146; agreement, any sale to a
third party of either signatory&#146;s stake in CGG that would
reduce such signatory&#146;s holding to less than 10% of our
total outstanding share capital as of January 1995 is subject to
a right of first refusal by the other signatory. This right of
first refusal does not apply in the event such sale is made to
an affiliate of the selling signatory, provided that such
affiliate becomes a party to the shareholders&#146; agreement.

from October 2001. During the subsequent three-year period, ISIS
would either have the right to cause IFP to purchase our common
shares currently owned by ISIS or be obligated to sell those
common shares to IFP, in either case in exchange for Technip
common shares, subject to market prices.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In accordance with our statuts, agreements
between us and a director are subject to prior authorization of
the Board of Directors, unless the agreements are concluded on
an arm&#146;s-length basis in the normal course of business. The
Chairman of the Board of Directors must, on receipt of such
authorization, then inform the statutory auditors (who prepare a
report on the agreement) and submit the agreement to approval by
a General Shareholders&#146; Meeting. The shares of the director
in question are not counted toward the quorum or in the vote. If
the General Shareholders&#146; Meeting refuses to approve the
agreement, third parties may still rely on it, but the director
may be held liable to us for any loss we incur under the
agreement.

<FONT size="2">Under our <I>statuts</I>, the Shareholders&#146;
Meeting may provide for the payment to the directors of an
annual fixed sum, the amount of which remains unchanged until
further decision. The Board of Directors allocates this amount
between its members in the manner it deems appropriate. Also,
under our <I>statuts</I>, the Board of Directors elects a
chairman, and the Board decides the amount of his compensation.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under our <I>statuts</I>, the Board of Directors
may appoint one chief executive officer in charge of the day to

the chief executive officer&#146;s compensation.

<FONT size="2">Under our <I>statuts</I>, directors other than
legal entities are forbidden to take out loans from CGG in any
form whatsoever or to have CGG grant them an overdraft in
current account or otherwise. It is also forbidden to have CGG
stand as surety for them or back their commitments in respect of
third parties. This prohibition also applies to chief operating
officers and to permanent representatives of legal-entity
directors. It also applies to the spouses, lineal forebearers or
descendants of the persons referred to in this paragraph and
also to any trustee.

annual Ordinary Shareholders&#146; Meeting following the date on
which he reaches the age of 65. However, the Board of Directors
may further extend the office of the Chairman, one or more times
for a total period not to exceed three years. In accordance with
article L.225-19 of the French Commercial Code, no more than
one-third of the members of the Board of Directors may be more

consists of 11,680,718 fully paid shares having a nominal value
of <FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>2 per share.
Our stated capital thus amounts to
<FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>23,361,436.
Pursuant to our <I>statuts</I>, fully paid shares may be held
either in registered or in bearer form at the option of the
shareholder. The <I>statuts</I> also allow us to avail ourselves
of a procedure known as <I>titres au porteur identifiables</I>
by which we may request SICOVAM to disclose the name,

Liquidation Rights</FONT></I></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We may only distribute dividends out of our
&#147;distributable profits&#148;, plus any amounts held in our
reserve which the shareholders decide to make available for
distribution, other than those reserves which are specifically
required by law. &#147;Distributable profits&#148; consist of
our unconsolidated net profit in each fiscal year, as increased
or reduced by any profit or loss carried forward from prior
years, less any contributions to the reserve accounts pursuant
to law.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under French law, before dividends may be paid
with respect to any fiscal year, we must contribute a minimum of
5% of our annual unconsolidated net income to a legal reserve
fund, until it reaches an amount equal to 10% of our stated
capital. The legal reserve is distributable only upon our
liquidation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our <I>statuts</I> provide that the general
shareholders&#146; meeting, either on a recommendation from the
board of directors or on its own initiative, may allocate all or
part of our distributable profits, if any, to one or more
special or general reserves or to keep such profits as retained
earnings to be carried forward to the next fiscal year. Any
remaining distributable profits are distributed to shareholders
as dividends in proportion to their holdings. However, except in
the case of a decrease in share capital which aims to offset
losses, no distribution may be made to shareholders when the
shareholders&#146; equity is or would become, as a result of the
distribution, less than the amount of the share capital
increased by amounts held in reserve accounts pursuant to law.
The methods of payment of dividends are determined by the annual
general meeting of shareholders or by the board of directors in
the absence of a decision by the shareholders. According to our
<I>statuts</I>, the general meeting has the power to give each
shareholder the option of receiving all or part of its dividend
payment in either cash or shares.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">If we have earned distributable profits since the
end of the preceding fiscal year, as shown on an interim income
statement certified by our auditors, the board of directors has
the authority, without the approval of shareholders, to
distribute interim dividends to the extent of such distributable
profits for the period covered by the interim income statement.
If a company which has shares listed on a regulated securities
exchange in France decides to distribute interim dividends,
French law requires that such interim dividends amount to at
least <FONT face="times new roman,times">&#128;</FONT>0.76 per
share.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under French law, dividends are normally
distributed to shareholders in proportion to their respective
holdings. Dividends are payable to all holders of shares, except
for treasury stock, issued and outstanding on the date of the
shareholders&#146; meeting approving the distribution of
dividends or, in the case of interim dividends, on the date of
the board of directors&#146; meeting approving the distribution
of interim dividends. We must make annual dividend payments
within nine months of the end of our fiscal year, unless
otherwise authorized by a court order. Any sale of shares
executed on the monthly settlement market during the month of a
dividend payment is deemed to occur after payment of the
dividend and the purchaser&#146;s account will be credited with
an amount equal to the dividend paid and the seller&#146;s
account will be debited in the same amount. Dividends not
claimed within five years of the date of payment revert to the
French State.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In the event that we are liquidated, our assets
remaining after payment of all debts and liabilities,
liquidation expenses and all remaining obligations will be
distributed first to repay in full the nominal value of the
shares and the surplus, if any, will be distributed to the
shareholders in proportion to the nominal value of their
shareholdings.

<FONT size="2">According to French law, our current shareholders
have preferential rights on a pro rata basis to subscribe
(<I>droit pr&#233;ferentiel de souscription</I>) for any issue
of additional shares to be subscribed in cash or by set-off of
cash debts and to subscribe to any issue of other securities
which may either directly or indirectly result in, or carry
rights to subscribe for, additional shares issued by us. An
extraordinary shareholders&#146; meeting may decide to withdraw
the shareholders&#146; preferential right to subscribe, either
in respect of any specific issue of securities, or more
generally, with respect to an authorization by the extraordinary
general meeting, to issue shares or other equity securities, for
a duration not to exceed twenty-six months. Shareholders may
also individually waive their preferential right to subscribe in
respect of any offering. French law requires that the board of
directors and our independent auditors present reports that
specifically address any proposal to waive preferential
subscription rights. In the event of a waiver, the issue of
securities must be completed within the period prescribed by
law. Preferential rights to subscribe, if not previously waived,
are tradable during the subscription period relating to a
particular offering of shares and may be quoted on Euronext
Paris. In the event that the preferential rights of shareholders
are withdrawn, the shareholders&#146; meeting has the power to
grant, or to authorize the board of directors to grant, existing
shareholders a non-transferable priority right (<I>d&#233;lai de
priorit&#233;</I>) to subscribe for new shares issued during a
limited period.

<FONT size="2">Under French law, dividends are paid out of
after-tax income. French residents are entitled to a tax credit,
known as the <I>avoir fiscal</I>, equal to one-half of the
dividend paid where the beneficiary shareholder is an
individual. Where the beneficiary shareholder is not an
individual, the <I>avoir fiscal</I> is generally equal to 10% of
the dividend paid for the <I>avoir fiscal</I> used or refunded
in 2003. However, except in limited circumstances, if a
distribution is subject to a tax known as the
<I>pr&#233;compte</I>, shareholders entitled to the <I>avoir

additional amount of <I>avoir fiscal</I> equal to 80%,
respectively, of any <I>pr&#233;compte</I> actually paid in cash
by our company upon distribution of dividends paid out of
certain profits (see below paragraph relating to the
<I>pr&#233;compte</I>). Dividends paid to non-residents are
normally subject to a 25% withholding tax and, under French law,
non-residents are not eligible for the benefit of the <I>avoir
fiscal</I>. As discussed below, this amount is reduced to 15%
or, as the case may be, 5% under the income and capital tax

20%, which is further reduced to 18% of the ADS&#146;s have been
held for more than five years. Any gain or loss will generally
be U.S.&nbsp;source, except that losses will be treated as
foreign source to the extent that the U.S.&nbsp;Holder received
dividends that were includible in the financial services income
basket during the 24-month period prior to the sale. This
24-month period may be extended to cover periods in which the
U.S.&nbsp;Holder&#146;s risk of loss is hedged.

ADSs would generally be subject to similar rules with respect to
distributions to us by, and dispositions by us of the stock of,
any direct or indirect subsidiaries of ours that were also
PFICs. Furthermore, a U.S.&nbsp;Holder who beneficially owns an
interest in a PFIC is generally required to file an annual

distributions received from and any gain realized upon the
disposition of a beneficial interest in the PFIC.

exposed to general risks linked to operating abroad. The table
below provides information about our market sensitive financial
instruments and constitutes a &#147;forward-looking
statement&#148;. Our major market risk exposures are changing
interest rates and currency fluctuations. Our policy is to
manage interest rates through use of a combination of fixed and
floating rate debt. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust
interest rate exposures when appropriate, based upon market
conditions. A portion of our current assets is denominated in
foreign currencies, which exposes us to market risk associated
with exchange rate movements. Our policy generally is to hedge
major foreign currency cash exposures through foreign exchange
forward contracts. These contracts are entered into with major
financial institutions, thereby minimizing the risk of credit
loss. All instruments are entered into for non-trading purposes.

<FONT size="2">We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Compagnie G&#233;n&#233;rale de
G&#233;ophysique,&nbsp;S.A., expressed in euros, as of
December&nbsp;31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders&#146; equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December&nbsp;31, 2002. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We conducted our audits in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Compagnie
G&#233;n&#233;rale de G&#233;ophysique,&nbsp;S.A. at
December&nbsp;31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
France.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Accounting principles generally accepted in
France vary in certain significant respects from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. A
description of these differences and a reconciliation of
consolidated net income and shareholders&#146; equity to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
are set forth in Note 27 to the consolidated financial
statements.

with the financial statements for fiscal year&nbsp;2001, French
GAAP differ in certain significant respects from U.S.&nbsp;GAAP.
The differences between French GAAP and U.S.&nbsp;GAAP as they
relate to the Group, and the reconciliation of net income and
shareholders&#146; equity to U.S.&nbsp;GAAP are described in
note&nbsp;27 of the consolidated financial statements.

the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues

differ from those estimates.

to be licensed to customers on a non-exclusive basis. All costs
directly incurred in acquiring, processing and otherwise

obtains commitments from a limited number of customers before a

project specifications, advance access to data as it is being
acquired, and favorable pricing.

<FONT size="2">After sales &#151; Generally the Company grants a
license entitling non-exclusive access to a complete and ready

upon the client executing a valid license agreement and having

that all the data conforms to technical specifications.

<FONT size="2">The Group may enter into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts to limit its exposure to currency
fluctuations when firm contract commitments exist for net cash
flows (contract revenues less costs) to be received in foreign
currencies (primarily U.S.&nbsp;dollars). A&nbsp;forward foreign
exchange contract obligates the Group to exchange predetermined
amounts of specified foreign currencies at specified exchange
rates on specified dates or to make an equivalent Euro payment
equal to the value of such exchange.

<FONT size="2">Unrealized gains and losses resulting from

assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings in the period

future commitments should be deferred and will be recognized in
earnings on the projected date of the forecasted transaction. If
the amounts and maturity dates of forward contracts do not
correspond to foreign currency cash flows to be generated by the
backlog, the forward contracts should not be qualified as
hedges. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses resulting from
changes in forward rates of these contracts should be recorded
in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses reflected in income are
included respectively in other current assets and other
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet using the accrual
method.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Group also purchases interest rate cap
agreements that are designed to limit its exposure to increasing
interest rates and are designated as hedges of its long-term
debt portfolio. An interest rate cap entitles the Group to
receive a payment from the counter-party equal to the excess, if
any, of the hypothetical interest expense (strike price) on a
specified notional amount at a&nbsp;current market interest rate
over an amount specified in the agreement. The only amount the
Group is obligated to pay to the counterparty is an initial
premium. The strike price of these agreements exceeds the
current market levels at the time they are entered into. The
interest rate indices specified by the agreements have been and
expected to be highly correlated with the interest rates the
Group incurs on its long-term debt portfolio. Payments to be
received as a&nbsp;result of the specified interest rate index
exceeding the strike price are accrued in other assets and are
recognized as a&nbsp;reduction of interest expense
(the&nbsp;accrual accounting method). The cost of these
agreements is included in other assets and amortized to interest
expense on a&nbsp;pro&nbsp;rata temporis basis during the life
of the agreement.

<FONT size="2">On May&nbsp;21, 2002, Talamantes&nbsp;B.V.,
a&nbsp;Dutch company and Paradigm Geophysical Ltd
(&#147;PGEO&#148;) entered into an Agreement of Merger
(the&nbsp;&#147;Merger Agreement&#148;) providing for the merger
of PGEO into Talamentes or one of its subsidiaries
(the&nbsp;&#147;Merger&#148;). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
all PGEO outstanding ordinary shares were to be converted into
the right to receive $5.15 in cash each (the&nbsp;&#147;Merger
Consideration&#148;), without interest thereon. In consideration
of the execution of the Merger Agreement by PGEO, CGG entered
into a voting agreement, dated as of May&nbsp;21, 2002, with
Talamantes, by which CGG agrees to vote in favor of
the&nbsp;Merger.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Merger was completed on August&nbsp;13, 2002
and the shares CGG held in PGEO were therefore converted into
the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable upon
surrender of the relevant share certificate. We received a total
of U.S.$7.7&nbsp;million in Merger Consideration. A&nbsp;Euros
2&nbsp;millions loss was recorded under the item &#147;Other

<FONT size="2">In addition, the Group and Paradigm develop a
technological cooperation in the domain of interpretation
software. The common goal of this strategic development has been
materialized by our significant equity participation in
Paradigm, and we benefit from one seat on the Board of Directors

stake in Paradigm has been accounted for under the equity
method, generating an in-built goodwill of

<FONT size="2">The upgrade of the seismic vessel Mistral to a

achieved in June&nbsp;2002. Upon delivery from the shipyard,
CGG&nbsp;Marine operated the Mistral under a 7-year time charter
granted by the joint venture, new owner of the vessel. As
consideration for these transactions, LDA received 413,969 CGG

<FONT size="2">In December 1996, the French Parliament adopted a
law that requires French companies to pay French social
contributions and certain salary-based taxes, which may
represent, for the Company, up to 50% of the taxable salary, on
the difference between the exercise price of a stock option and
the fair market value of the underlying shares on the exercise
date if the beneficiary disposes of the shares before a five
year period following the grant of option.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The new law is consistent with personal income
tax law that requires individuals to pay income tax on the
difference between the option exercise price and the fair value
of the shares at the grant date if the shares are sold or
otherwise disposed of within five years of the option grant. The
law applies to all options exercised after January&nbsp;1, 1997.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Group has not recorded a liability for social
charges which may be assessed for options granted as of
December&nbsp;31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 as the liability, being
dependent on future trading values of the Company&#146;s shares
and the timing of employees&#146; decisions to exercise options
and sell the related shares cannot be estimated. The Group also
does not consider that the liability is probable due to the
income tax disincentives to employees of exercising options and
selling the shares in less than a five-year period or four year
for the plan dated March 2001.

<FONT size="2">The reporting currency for the Group&#146;s
consolidated financial statements is the Euro. However, as a
result of having primarily customers, which operate in the oil
and gas industry, more than 90% of the Group&#146;s operating
revenues are denominated in currencies other than the Euro,
primarily the U.S.&nbsp;dollar.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As a result, the Group&#146;s sales and operating
income are exposed to the effects of fluctuations in the value

<FONT size="2">the Group&#146;s net sales and operating income
denominated in U.S. dollars when translated to Euro, while a
weakening of the Euro has a positive effect. In addition, the
Group&#146;s exposure to fluctuations in the
Euro&nbsp;&nbsp;/&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;dollar exchange rate has
considerably increased over the last few years due to increased
sales outside of Europe.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In order to improve the balance of its net
position of receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies, the Group maintains a portion of its financing in
U.S.&nbsp;dollars. At December&nbsp;31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the
Group&#146;s long-term debt denominated in U.S.&nbsp;dollars
amounted to U.S.$272.6&nbsp;million, U.S.$181.1&nbsp;million and
U.S.$186.6&nbsp;million, respectively. The Group also attempts
to improve this balance by entering into forward exchange
contracts.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In addition, to protect against the reduction in
the value of future foreign currency cash flows, the Group
follows a policy of selling U.S.&nbsp;dollars forward at average
contract maturity dates which the Group attempts to match with
future net U.S.&nbsp;dollar cash flows (revenues less costs in
U.S.&nbsp;dollars) to be generated by firm contract commitments
in its backlog generally over the ensuing six months. A similar
policy, to a lesser extent, is carried out with respect to
contracts denominated in British pounds. This foreign currency
risk management strategy has enabled the Group to reduce,
however, not eliminate the positive or negative effects of
exchange movements with respect to these currencies.

<FONT size="2">The Group considers the carrying value for loan
receivable and other investments, trade accounts and notes
receivable, other receivables, trade accounts and notes payable
and other current liabilities to be the most representative
estimate of fair value.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">For bank loans with fixed interest rates, the
fair values have been estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses based on the Group&#146;s incremental borrowing rates
for similar types of borrowing arrangements. For variable-rate
bank loans, vendor equipment financing and the shareholder
loans, fair values approximate carrying values.

include both losses available for carryforward to reduce future
French income tax payable by the consolidated tax Group as well
as losses dating prior to January&nbsp;1, 1991 which are only
available to reduce future income tax of the individual
subsidiaries of the Group.

<FONT size="2">Since the majority of the Group&#146;s deferred
tax assets represent tax losses available for carryforward by
entities which have a recent history of generating losses, it
has been deemed more likely than not that those entities will
not be able to utilize the losses in the near future.
Consequently, the Group has recorded valuation allowances to
fully provide for the potential tax benefit of these items in
those entities.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under French GAAP, goodwill is amortized on a
straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under U.S.&nbsp;GAAP, before 31&nbsp;December
2001, no difference was reported for goodwill accounting. Since
1st&nbsp;January 2002, however, goodwill is no longer amortized
but remains at its carrying value as of December&nbsp;31, 2001.
Under the provisions of SFAS&nbsp;142 &#147;Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets&#148;, goodwill is tested for impairment at
least annually. Differences could also occur in the
determination of the charge of impairment of goodwill under
French GAAP and U.S&nbsp;GAAP, no such difference was reported
for the year 2002. See section New Accounting Pronouncements for
a discussion of the first implementation of SFAS&nbsp;142 and
related disclosures.

<B><FONT size="2">Impairment of long-lived assets</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under French GAAP, long-lived assets are written
down when, as a result of events or changes in circumstances
within the year, their recoverable value appears to have
declined on an other than temporary basis to an amount less than
their carrying value. Impairment is determined for each group of
autonomous assets (independent operating units or subsidiaries)
by comparing their carrying value with the undiscounted cash
flows that they are expected to generate based upon
management&#146;s expectations of future economic and operating
conditions.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Should the above comparison indicate that an
asset is impaired, the write-down recognized is equivalent to
the difference between carrying value and either market value or
the sum of discounted future cash flows.

Assets&#148;, the method described above is relevant only for
long-lived assets to be held and used, while assets to be
disposed of by sale should be reported as selling price less
costs to sale.

<FONT size="2">Under French GAAP, investment in equity
securities are recorded at acquisition cost and an allowance is
provided if management deems that there has been an other-than
-temporary decline in fair value. Unrealized gains and temporary
unrealized losses are not recognized. For equity securities, the
allowance is evaluated based on the average of the market price
in the last 30&nbsp;days.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under US GAAP, investments in equity securities
are classified into two categories and accounted as follows:
Equity securities that are acquired and held principally for the
purpose of sale in the near term are classified as &#147;trading
securities&#148; and are reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses included in earnings. All other equity
securities are classified in &#147;available for sale&#148;
securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
temporary losses excluded from earnings and reported in
shareholder&#146;s equity. In case of other-than-temporary loss
in fair value, an allowance is recorded in earnings. Such
allowance is evaluated based on the market price at the closing
rate.

<FONT size="2">The application of the different criteria to
determine the reporting units has lead the Group to define four
reporting units: Products, Offshore, Land and Processing &#38;
Reservoir. As part of the first step of the impairment testing,
these units were valued according to the discounted cash method.
This has enabled the comparison of their estimated fair value to
their carrying value. The fair values of the different reporting
units are over their carrying value. The evaluation of the
reporting units was performed using cash flow projections and a
discount rate equivalent to the weighted average cost of the
capital employed of each reporting unit.

<FONT size="2">In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.&nbsp;143 &#147;Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations&#148; which becomes effective in January
2003. This statement addresses accounting and reporting for
obligations and costs, which will occur when the long-term
assets are retired. Among other things, the statement requires
that the present value of the liability associated with future
asset retirements be recorded on the balance sheet when an
obligation has been incurred and when it can be reasonably
measured. The amortization of the capitalized costs and increase
in the present value of the obligation which result from the
passage of time, are charged to earnings. During 2002, the Group
has carried out an inventory of all sites or assets concerned
but has not determined the financial impact on its 2003
consolidated financial statements.

<FONT size="2">In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;146, Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (&#147;SFAS
146&#148;). SFAS 146 replaces EITF Issue No.&nbsp;94-3,
Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs
Incurred in a Restructuring), and changes the timing of
recognition for certain exit costs associated with restructuring
activities. Under SFAS 146 certain exit costs would be
recognized over the period in which the restructuring activities
occur. Currently, exit costs are recognized when the Company
commits to a restructuring plan. SFAS&nbsp;146 is to be applied
prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after
December&nbsp;31, 2002, though early adoption is allowed. The
Company will adopt SFAS&nbsp;146 for exit or disposal activities
that are initiated after January&nbsp;1, 2003. The provisions of
SFAS 146 could result in the Company recognizing the cost of
future restructuring activities over a period of time as opposed
to as a one-time expense.

Standards Board issued FASB Statement No.&nbsp;148, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation&nbsp;&#151; Transition and
Disclosure (&#147;SFAS 148&#148;). This Statement amends FASB
Statement No.&nbsp;123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(&#147;SFAS&nbsp;123&#148;), to provide alternative methods of
transition to SFAS 123&#146;s fair value method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the
disclosure provisions of SFAS&nbsp;123 to require prominent
disclosure in the summary of significant account policies of the
effects of an entity&#146;s accounting policy with respect to
stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and
earnings per share in annual financial statements.
SFAS&nbsp;148&#146;s amendment of the transition and annual
disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending
after December&nbsp;15, 2002. Refer to Note&nbsp;12 for
disclosures related to stock based compensation. The Company
intends to continue to account for stock-based compensation
based on the provisions of APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25.

Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (&#147;FIN&nbsp;45&#148;).
FIN&nbsp;45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the

obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The disclosure
provisions of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of
annual periods that end after December&nbsp;15, 2002. The

<FONT size="2">Saudi Arabian accounting standards require that
the cost of inventories should be determined using the average
method. The company is in the process of changing its computer
system to enable it to use the average method. In the meantime,

the average method, the cost of inventories would not have been

PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION
In this annual report, references to "United
States" or "U.S." are to the United States of
America, references to "U.S. dollars", "$"
or "U.S.$" are to United States dollars, references to
"France" are to the Republic of France, and references
to "Euro" or
"
€
" are
to the single currency introduced at the start of the third
stage of European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the
Treaty Establishing the European Union.
We present our consolidated financial statements
in euro. We presented our consolidated financial statements in
French francs for periods through December 31, 2000; however, we
have adopted the euro as our reporting currency for the periods
after January 1, 2001. We have restated our 2000 annual
consolidated financial statements in euro at the fixed exchange
rate of
€
1.00 =
FF 6.55957. Although these statements depict the same
trends as would have been shown had they been presented in
French francs, they may not be directly comparable to the
financial statements of other companies originally reported in a
currency other than the French franc and subsequently restated
in euro. Prior to the adoption of the euro, the currencies of
other countries fluctuated against the French franc, but because
the euro did not exist prior to January 1, 1999, historical
exchange rates for euro are not available. A comparison of our
financial statements and those of another company that had
historically used a reporting currency other than the French
franc that takes into account actual fluctuations in exchange
rates could be materially different from a comparison of our
financial statements and those of another company as translated
into euro.
As CGG is listed on the New-York Stock Exchange
(American Depositary Shares), we have to file on Form 20F
with the SEC our annual financial statements reconciled with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("U.S. GAAP").
For the year ended December 31, 2000 there
were no material differences between French GAAP and
U.S. GAAP. Beginning with the financial statements for
fiscal year 2001, French GAAP differs in certain significant
respects from U.S. GAAP.

Selected Financial Data
The table below sets forth selected consolidated
financial and operating data as of and for each of the five
years in the period ended December 31, 2002, which should
be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, our consolidated financial statements and
"Operating and Financial Review and Prospects"
included elsewhere in this annual report. The selected financial
data for each of the years in the five-year period ended
December 31, 2002 have been derived from our audited
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
French generally accepted accounting principles
("
GAAP
"), which differ in certain respects from
U.S. GAAP.
As CGG is listed on the New-York Stock Exchange
(American Depositary Shares), we have to file on Form 20F
with the SEC our annual financial statements reconciled with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States ("U.S. GAAP").
For the year ended December 31, 2000 there
were no material differences between French GAAP and U.S. GAAP.
Beginning with the financial statements for fiscal year 2001,
French GAAP differs in certain significant respects from
U.S. GAAP.
The differences between French GAAP and
U.S. GAAP as they relate to the Group, and the
reconciliation of net income and shareholders' equity to
U.S. GAAP are described in note 27 to our consolidated
financial statements.

(4)
"Total long-term debt" means total
    long-term debt, including current maturities, capital leases and
    accrued interest.
(5)
"EBITDA" is defined as operating income
    (loss) excluding non-recurring revenues
    (expenses) plus depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is
    presented as additional information because we understand that
    it is one measure used by certain investors to determine our
    operating cash flow and historical ability to meet debt service
    and capital expenditure requirements. However, other companies
    may present EBITDA differently than we do. EBITDA is not a
    measure of financial performance under French GAAP or
    U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to
    cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity
    or an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating
    performance or any other measures of performance derived in
    accordance with French GAAP or U.S. GAAP.
(6)
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as
    operating income (loss) excluding non-recurring revenues
    (expenses) plus depreciation, amortization and additions
    (deductions) to valuation allowances of assets and add-back
    of dividends received from equity companies.
(7)
The term "earnings" is the amount of
    pre-tax income from continuing operations before adjustment for
    minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries or income or
    loss from equity investees, plus fixed charges, plus
    amortization of capitalized interest, plus distributed income to
    equity investees, plus the share of pre-tax losses of equity
    investees for which charges arising from guarantees are included
    in fixed charges, less interest capitalized, less preference
    security dividend requirements of consolidated subsidiaries,
    less the minority interest in pre-tax income of subsidiaries
    that have not incurred fixed charges. The term "fixed
    charges" means the sum of the following: (a) interest
    expensed or capitalized, (b) amortized premiums, discounts
    and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness, (c) an
    estimate of the interest within rental expense, and
    (d) preference security dividend requirements of
    consolidated subsidiaries. The term "preference security
    dividend" is the amount of pre-tax earnings that is
    required to pay the dividends on outstanding preference
    securities, computed as the amount of the dividend divided by
    one minus the effective income tax rate applicable to continuing
    operations. The deficiency of earnings to fixed charges was
€
7.6 million
    for the year ended December 31, 2000,
€
69.1 million
    for the year ended December 31, 1999 and
€
22.7 million
    for the year ended December 31, 1998.

The European Monetary System
Under the Treaty on European Union negotiated at
Maastricht, The Netherlands, in 1991 (the "Maastricht
Treaty") and signed by the then 12 EU Member States in
early 1992, the European Monetary Union (the "EMU"),
with a single European currency under the monetary control of
the European Central Bank, was introduced. On January 1,
1999, the last stage of the EMU came into effect with the
adoption of fixed exchange rates between national currencies and
the euro. On January 1, 2002, the euro became the official
currency of the following 12 EU Member States: Austria,
Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. As a result,
national currencies (including the French franc) ceased to exist
during the first quarter of 2002, after transition periods
during which national currencies of such Member States and the
euro co-existed.
The establishment of the EMU may have a
significant effect on the economies of the participant
countries. Whereas the introduction of the euro has eliminated
exchange rate risks in respect of the currencies of those member
states that have adopted the euro, there can be no assurance as
to the relative strength of the euro against other currencies.
Exchange Rates
The following table sets forth, for the periods
and dates indicated, certain information concerning the exchange
rates for the French franc for the years 1997 and 1998,
expressed in French francs per U.S. dollar, and for the euro
since 1999, expressed in U.S. dollars per euro. Information
concerning the U.S. dollar exchange rate is based on the noon
buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign
currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (the "Noon Buying Rate").
Such rates are provided solely for convenience and no
representation is made that French francs or euro were, could
have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at these
rates or at any other rate. Such rates were not used by us in
the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this annual report. The Noon Buying Rate
on May 9, 2003 was U.S.$1.15 per euro.
U.S. dollar translations included for convenience
throughout this annual report for dates other than the last day
of the periods presented above have been made at the Noon Buying
Rates on such dates.

Risk Factors
We depend on capital expenditures by the oil
and gas industry and reductions in such expenditures have had,
and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our
business.
Demand for our products and services has
historically been dependent upon the level of capital
expenditures by oil and gas companies for exploration,
production and development activities. These expenditures are
significantly influenced by oil and gas prices. Oil and gas
prices may fluctuate based on relatively minor changes in the
supply and demand for oil and gas and certain other factors
beyond our control. Lower or volatile oil and gas prices tend to
limit the demand for our services and products.
Factors affecting the prices of oil and gas
include:
•
level of demand for oil and gas;
•
worldwide political, military and economic
    conditions, including the ability of the Organization of
    Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to set and maintain
    production levels and prices for oil;
•
level of oil and gas production;
•
policies of governments regarding the exploration
    for and production and development of oil and gas reserves in
    their territories; and
•
global weather conditions.
The markets for oil and gas historically have
been volatile and are likely to continue to be so in the future.
Historically, there has been an average lag of
six months between recovery in the market for petroleum products
and implementation by oil companies of projects requiring
seismic services. The significant decline in crude oil prices
that began in 1998 caused a substantial decline in demand for
our products and services in 1998 and 1999 and materially
adversely affected our results of operations for 1998 and 1999.
While oil and gas prices have risen since mid-1999, we did not
experience a significant increase in demand for our products and
services until the fourth quarter of 2000. Since then, demand
for seismic services has gradually increased, despite the
economic slowdown and lower energy demand of late 2001.
Furthermore, the events of September 11, 2001 have created
significant uncertainty in the current outlook. In addition to
the human toll that was exacted, the events of
September 11, 2001 have exacerbated a recent weakening in
the global economy that could potentially have an adverse effect
on our industry. The dynamics of the global oil and gas market
could be further unsettled as the political reaction to
September 11, 2001 and, more recently, the military
operations in Iraq may possibly affect the Middle Eastern
producing region, an area in which we are particularly active.
Any sustained decrease in worldwide oil and gas demand and
prices could reduce exploration and development activities and
negatively affect our operations. We cannot assure you as to
future oil and gas prices or the resulting level of industry
spending for exploration, production and development activities.
We have had operating losses in the past and
we cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the
future.
We recorded net losses each year from 1998 to
2000. In 2001 and 2002, we recorded a net income of
approximately
€
16 million
and
€
17 million
respectively, marking a return to profitability. We have taken
measures designed to respond to the circumstances existing in
the industry underlying prior year losses; however, we cannot
assure you that the implementation of these actions will be
effective in maintaining profitability in future years.

We are subject to intense competition, which
could limit our ability to maintain or increase our market share
and to maintain our prices at profitable levels.
Most of our contracts are obtained through a
competitive bidding process, which is standard for the industry
in which we operate. While no single company competes with us in
all of our segments, we are subject to intense competition with
respect to each of our segments. We compete with large,
international companies as well as smaller, local companies. In
addition, we compete with major service providers and
government-sponsored enterprises and affiliates. Some of our
competitors operate more data acquisition crews than we do and
have substantially greater financial and other resources. These
and other competitors may be better positioned to withstand and
adjust more quickly to volatile market conditions, such as
fluctuations in oil and gas prices and production levels, and
changes in government regulations.
We rely on significant customers, so the loss
of a single or a few customers could have a material adverse
impact on our business.
A relatively small number of clients account for
a significant percentage of our revenues. During 2000, our two
largest clients accounted for 8.3% and 8.0%, respectively, of
our operating revenues. During 2001, our three largest clients
accounted for 7.7%, 7.5% and 5.2% of our operating revenues,
respectively. During 2002, our two largest clients accounted for
7.6%, and 7.1% of our operating revenues, respectively. If we
were to lose a substantial amount of the business of any of
these clients, this could have a material adverse effect on our
operating revenues.
Our land and marine seismic acquisition
activities are seasonal in nature.
Our land and marine seismic acquisition
activities are seasonal in nature. We generally experience
decreased revenues in the first quarter of each year due to the
effects of weather conditions in the Northern Hemisphere and to
the fact that our principal clients are generally not prepared
to fully commit their annual exploration budget to specific
projects during that period.
We have historically experienced higher levels of
activity in our equipment manufacturing operations in the fourth
quarter as our clients seek to fully deploy annual budgeted
capital.
Our debt agreements may limit our ability to
respond to changes in market conditions or to pursue business
opportunities.
As of December 31, 2002, we had
€
290 million
of long-term debt outstanding and total shareholders'
equity of

We may need to borrow additional amounts in the future to meet
our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs.
Our syndicated credit facility imposes operating and financial
restrictions on our business. These provisions include
limitations on our ratios of net debt to equity and net debt to
EBITDA and require us to maintain minimum levels of net worth.
In addition, certain of these provisions grant liens on our
accounts receivable and those of our subsidiary, Sercel S.A. Our
10 5/8% senior notes also contain restrictive covenants,
including restrictions on payments and investments, the
incurrence of indebtedness, the creation of liens, the entry
into sale and leaseback transactions, the issuance and sale of
subsidiary stock and the payment of dividends and other payments
by certain of our subsidiaries. Many of the restrictions
contained in these covenants depend on our ability to meet
certain ratios and tests with respect to consolidated interest
coverage, total assets and net income. These provisions may
negatively affect our ability to react to changes in market
conditions, take advantage of business opportunities we believe
to be desirable, obtain future financing, funds needed capital
expenditures, significantly increase research and development
expenditures, or withstand a continuing or future downturn in
our business.
If we are unable to comply with the
restrictions and covenants in our debt agreements, there could
be a default under the terms of these agreements, which could
result in an acceleration of payment of funds that we have
borrowed.
If we are unable to comply with the restrictions
and covenants in our current or future debt agreements, there
would be a default under the terms of these agreements. Our
ability to meet our financial ratios and tests may be
10
Table of Contents
affected by events beyond our control. As a
result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet these
tests. In the event of a default under these agreements, our
lenders could terminate their commitments to lend to us or
accelerate the loans and declare all amounts borrowed due and
payable. Borrowings under other debt instruments that contain
cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions may also be
accelerated and become due and payable. If any of these events
occur, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient
to repay in full all of our indebtedness, including the notes,
or that we would be able to find alternative financing. Even if
we could obtain alternative financing, we cannot assure you that
it would be on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us.
We invest significant amounts of money in
acquiring and processing seismic data for multi-client surveys
and for our data library without knowing precisely how much of
the data we will be able to sell or when and at what price we
will be able to sell the data.
We invest significant amounts in acquiring and
processing seismic data that we own. By making such investments,
we assume the risk that:
•
we may not fully recover the costs of the data
    through future sales. The amounts of these data sales are
    uncertain and depend on a variety of factors. Many of these
    factors are beyond our control. In addition, the timing of these
    sales can vary greatly from period to period. Technological or
    regulatory changes or other developments could also adversely
    affect the value of the data;
•
the value of our multi-client data could be
    significantly adversely affected if any material adverse change
    occurred in the general prospects for oil and gas exploration,
    development and production activities in the areas where we
    acquire multi-client data; and
•
any reduction in the market value of such data
    will require us to write down its recorded value, which could
    have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations.
We have high levels of fixed costs that will
be incurred regardless of our level of business
activity.
Our business has high fixed costs, and downtime
or low productivity due to reduced demand, weather
interruptions, equipment failures or other causes can result in
significant operating losses.
Technological changes and new products and
services are frequently introduced in our market, and our
technology could be rendered obsolete by these introductions or
we may not be able to develop and produce new and enhanced
products on a cost-effective and timely basis.
Technology changes rapidly, and new and enhanced
products are frequently introduced in the market for our
products and services, particularly in our equipment
manufacturing and data processing and geoscience sectors. Our
success depends to a significant extent upon our ability to
develop and produce new and enhanced products and services on a
cost-effective and timely basis in accordance with industry
demands. While we commit substantial resources to research and
development, we cannot assure you that we will not encounter
resource constraints or technical or other difficulties that
could delay our introduction of new and enhanced products and
services in the future. In addition, our continuing development
of new products inherently carries the risk of obsolescence with
respect to our older products. We cannot assure you that new and
enhanced products and services, if introduced, will gain market
acceptance or will not be adversely affected by technological
changes or product or service introductions.
We depend on attracting and retaining
qualified employees to protect our business know-how.
Our results of operations depend in part upon our
business know-how. We believe that protection of our know-how
depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain
highly skilled and qualified personnel. Any inability of ours in
the future to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of
qualified employees could impair our ability to manage and
maintain our business and to protect our know-how.

Table of Contents
We depend on proprietary technology.
Our results of operations depend in part upon our
proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patents,
trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect our
proprietary technology. In addition, we enter into
confidentiality and license agreements with our employees,
customers and potential customers and limit access to and
distribution of our technology. However, we cannot assure you
that actions we take to protect our proprietary rights will be
adequate to deter the misappropriation or independent third
party development of our technology. Although we have not been
involved in any material litigation regarding our intellectual
property rights or the possible infringement of intellectual
property rights of others, we cannot assure you that such
litigation will not be brought in the future. In addition, the
laws of certain foreign countries do not protect proprietary
rights to the same extent as either the laws of France or the
laws of the United States.
We are subject to risks related to our
international operations that could harm our business and
results of operations.
With operations worldwide, and with a majority of
our revenues derived outside of the United States and Western
Europe, including emerging markets, our business and results of
operations are subject to various risks inherent in
international operations. These risks include:
•
instability of foreign economies and governments;
•
risks of war, seizure, renegotiation or
    nullification of existing contracts; and
•
foreign exchange restrictions, laws and other
    policies affecting trade and investment.
While we carry insurance against political risks
associated with such operations, in amounts we consider
appropriate in accordance with industry practices, we cannot
assure you that we will not be subject to material adverse
developments with respect to our international operations.
The nature of our business is subject to
significant ongoing operating risks for which we may not have
adequate insurance or for which we may not be able to procure
adequate insurance on economical terms, if at all.
Our seismic data acquisition activities,
particularly in deepwater marine areas, are often conducted
under harsh weather and other hazardous conditions and are
subject to risks of loss from business interruption, delay or
equipment destruction. We carry insurance against the
destruction of or damage to our seismic equipment and against
business interruption for our data processing activities in
amounts we consider appropriate in accordance with industry
practice. However, we cannot assure you that our insurance
coverage will be adequate in all circumstances or against all
hazards, or that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance
coverage in the future at commercially reasonable rates or on
acceptable terms.
Our results of operations can be significantly
affected by currency fluctuations.
Our operations can be significantly affected by
fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly between the euro
and the U.S. dollar. We incur a large portion of our operating
expenses in currencies other than the currency in which
corresponding net sales are generated. In particular, we incur
substantial euro operating costs while a substantial majority of
our net sales are U.S. dollar-denominated. Appreciation of the
euro versus the U.S. dollar makes us less competitive, because
our operating costs increase, while depreciation of the euro
versus the U.S. dollar makes us more competitive. In addition,
for financial reporting purposes, the appreciation of the euro
against the U.S. dollar adversely affects our reported results
of operations since U.S. dollar-denominated earnings that are
converted to euro are stated at a reduced value. While we
attempt to reduce the risks associated with such exchange rate
fluctuations through our hedging policy, we cannot assure you
that we will be effective or that fluctuations in the value of
the currencies in which we operate will not materially affect
our results in the future.

Our working capital needs are difficult to
forecast and may be subject to significant and rapid increases
which could result in additional financing requirements that we
may not be able to obtain at all or on satisfactory
terms.
It is difficult for us to predict with certainty
our working capital needs. This is due primarily to working
capital requirements related to our marine seismic acquisition
business and related to the development and introduction of new
lines of geophysical equipment products. We may therefore be
subject to significant and rapid increases in our working
capital needs that we may have difficulty financing on
satisfactory terms or at all due to limitations in our existing
debt agreements.
Our substantial debt could adversely affect
our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our
obligations.
We have a significant amount of debt. As of
December 31, 2002, our total consolidated long-term debt,
consolidated total assets and shareholders' equity were
€
290 million,
€
1.025 billion
and
€
438 million,
respectively. Although our ratio of earnings to fixed charges
was 2.2 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2.0 for
the year ended December 31, 2001, earnings before fixed
charges were inadequate to cover fixed charges by approximately
€
8 million
for the year ended December 31, 2000. We cannot assure you
we will be able to generate earnings to cover fixed charges in
future years.
Our substantial debt could have important
consequences to you. For example, it could
•
increase our vulnerability to general adverse
    economic and industry conditions;
•
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of
    our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness,
    thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund
    working capital, capital expenditures and other general
    corporate purposes;
•
limit our flexibility in planning for, or
    reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in
    which we operate;
•
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared
    to our competitors that have less debt; and
•
limit, along with the financial and other
    restrictive covenants of our indebtedness, among other things,
    our ability to borrow additional funds.
Failing to comply with restrictive covenants in
our loan agreements or the indenture relating to our senior
notes could result in an event of default that, if not cured or
waived, could have a material adverse effect on us.
Despite current debt levels, we and our
subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more
debt.
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur
substantial additional debt (including secured debt) in the
future. As of December 31, 2002, we had no outstanding
borrowings under our syndicated credit facility and availability
of
€
64,575,000
under all credit facilities. If new debt is added to our and our
subsidiaries' current debt levels, the related risks that
we, and they, now face could intensify.
Our results could be affected by changes in
interest rates.
Our sources of liquidity include credit
facilities with financial institutions charging variable
interest rates over the course of draw-down periods of from one
to twelve months. As a result, our interest expenses could
increase if short term interest rates increase. However, our
exposure to interest rate fluctuations is reduced to the extent
that 70.5% of our financial debt at December 31, 2002
consisted of senior notes maturing in November 2007 and bearing
a fixed interest rate. A large part of the our sources of
liquidity also consists of long term credit facilities and
capital leases of various durations with fixed interest rates.

ON THE COMPANY
History and Development of the
Company
We were established in 1931 to market geophysical
techniques for appraising underground geological resources.
Since that time we have gradually come to specialize in seismic
techniques adapted to exploration for and production of oil and
gas, while continuing to carry on other geophysical activities.
Compagnie Générale de Géophysique is the parent
company of the CGG group. We are a
société anonyme
incorporated under the laws of the Republic of France and
operating under the French
Code de commerce
. Our
registered office is 1, rue Léon Migaux, 91341 Massy,
France. Our telephone number is (33) 1 64 47 3000.
Over the course of the last three years, we
completed numerous acquisitions and dispositions which are
described under "Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects — Acquisitions and Dispositions" in
Item 5, and elsewhere in this annual report.
On February 8, 2002, we issued
$55 million aggregate principal amount of 10 5/8%
Senior Notes due 2007 in the international capital markets, a
re-opening of a U.S.$170 million issuance of 10 5/8%
Senior Notes due 2007 on November 22, 2000. We used the
approximately U.S.$52.5 million of net proceeds to repay
approximately $22 million of outstanding indebtedness under
our existing syndicated credit facility and to repay
approximately $10 million in other long-term revolving
debt. We used the balance for general corporate purposes.
For a description of our principal capital
expenditures, please see Item 5.
Business Overview
We are a leading international provider of
geophysical services and a leading manufacturer of geophysical
equipment. We provide geophysical services principally to oil
and gas companies that use seismic imaging to help explore for,
develop and manage oil and gas reserves by:
•
identifying new areas where subsurface conditions
    are favorable for the accumulation of oil and gas;
•
determining the size and structure of previously
    identified oil and gas fields; and
•
optimizing development and production of oil and
    gas reserves (reservoir management).
We sell our geophysical equipment primarily to
other geophysical service companies.
Our operations are organized into two main
segments: Services and Products. Services accounted for 72% and
Products accounted for 28% of our consolidated revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2002. We generate revenues on a
worldwide basis. For the year ended December 31, 2002, 41%
of our consolidated revenues were from the Americas, 26% from
the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region, 17% from Europe and
CIS, and 16% from Africa.
Industry Conditions
Overall demand for geophysical services is
dependent upon spending by oil and gas companies for
exploration, production, development and field management
activities. This spending depends in part on present and
expected future oil and gas prices. Oil and gas prices increased
significantly from mid-1999 through 2000, resulting in a modest
increase in spending on geophysical services by our clients. In
early 2001, economic conditions in Europe and the United States
began to deteriorate, and oil and gas prices declined. The
events of September 11, 2001 compounded the worsening
economic climate. These conditions, in turn, resulted in a
reduction in energy demand and downward pressure on energy
prices, particularly gas in North America. Nevertheless, the
seismic industry market continued its recovery, albeit at a
slower rate. We believe that this resilience resulted in
particular from the need by the oil and gas industry to replace
reserves (which are currently being depleted at a rate estimated
by industry analysts at 5 to 10% per year).
The worsening geopolitical climate which
prevailed during the second half of 2002 caused a perception of
potential oil and gas shortages in the overall economy, which in
turn caused oil and gas prices to rise.
14
Table of Contents
Nevertheless, as a result of a growth in economic
uncertainty, the increase in prices did not have a positive
impact on our industry.
The oil and gas industry has increasingly relied
on the use of 3D seismic data, which has fueled the growth in
demand for geophysical services. The greater precision and
improved subsurface resolution obtainable from 3D seismic data,
combined with advanced processing techniques, have assisted oil
and gas companies in finding new fields and more accurately
delineating existing fields. These improved technologies have
been key factors in improving drilling success ratios and
lowering finding and field extension costs. Advanced
4D technology (using time as the fourth dimension) is also
enhancing production monitoring methodologies and the management
of existing oil and gas reservoirs by recording fluid movement
in the reservoir. In addition, advances in technology have
significantly reduced the size, weight, cost and power
requirements of seismic data acquisition systems and increased
the quality and quantity of data available to geoscientists.
These improved technologies, coupled with advances in drilling
and completion techniques, are significantly enhancing the
ability of oil and gas companies to explore for, develop and
manage oil and gas reserves cost-effectively.
Business Strategy
We intend to continue to strengthen our
competitive position in the global geophysical services and
products markets by capitalizing on growth opportunities
resulting from both the application of new technologies in every
sector of our business — from exploration to
production and reservoir management — and from our
diversified geographic presence.
To achieve our objective we have adopted the
following strategies:
Focus on
Growth Areas for Geophysical Services
We believe that the continued enhancement of our
proprietary seismic data recording equipment and software will
help us to remain among the leading providers of 3D land seismic
surveys. We believe that our proprietary equipment and software
provide us with a competitive advantage in specific growth
markets, such as data acquisition in transition zones and
difficult terrain, where recent technological advances have made
seismic acquisition more feasible. We intend to focus on
developing our technological capabilities in emerging markets
for geophysical services, such as reservoir appraisal and
production monitoring. We believe that, due to our extensive
international experience, we also have a competitive advantage
in certain geographic markets such as Europe, Africa, the Middle
East and Latin America, where we have been operating longer than
many of our competitors. We also believe that we have unique
experience and expertise in complex land acquisition projects, a
market that we expect may grow within the next several years.
To continue developing our marine acquisition
services and to strengthen our position in this market segment,
we significantly upgraded our fleet capacity with the launch in
1999 of the
CGG Alizé
and the acquisition in
January 2001 of two marine seismic vessels from Aker. We
improved our capacity with a technological upgrade of the
CGG
Mistral
, completed in the first half of 2002, but in
December 21, 2002, the
Mistral
sank, after an
accidental fire broke out onboard. See
"Offshore SBU".
We intend to strengthen our position in the
marine seismic market for non-exclusive data by further
developing our non-exclusive data library. We believe that a
strong position in this market segment is vital to enhance
further our global competitive position, as it will assist us to
adapt to current market demand and may provide opportunities for
significant future sales. Our policy is to develop our
non-exclusive data library, while carefully selecting survey
opportunities in order to monitor our investment closely.
Given the growing importance of geophysics in
reservoir characterization, we intend to further develop the
synergies between our data processing and reservoir services.
This approach places us in a better position to meet the
requirements of our clients with an extensive range of
integrated services. We also intend to increase our processing
capability in developing disciplines, such as lithology
prediction (identification of the rock layers covering and
surrounding the oil trap), as well as applications relating to
reservoir description and monitoring, including 3D pre-stack
depth imaging, multi-component and 4D studies. We also plan to
continue promoting and developing our dedicated processing
center services within our clients' offices.

Develop
Technological Synergies for Products and Capitalize on New
Generation Equipment
Sercel is the leading producer of land, marine
and subsea geophysical equipment. We plan to continue developing
synergies among the technologies available within Sercel and to
capitalize fully on our position as a market leader. Through
internal expenditures on research and development, we seek to
improve existing products and maintain an active new product
development program in all segments of the geophysical equipment
market (land, marine and ocean-bottom).
Develop and
Utilize Innovative Technology
We believe that growth in demand for geophysical
services will continue to be driven by the development of new
technologies. We expect multi-component (3C/4C) surveys and
time-lapse (4D) surveys to become increasingly important for new
production-related applications, particularly in the marine
sector, and expect specialized recording equipment for difficult
terrain to become more important in land seismic data
acquisition. We believe that to remain competitive, geophysical
services companies will need to combine advanced data
acquisition technology with consistently improving processing
capacity in order to reduce further delivery times for seismic
services. Our strategy is to take advantage of our leading
technology and our ability to integrate our full range of
services to enhance our position as a market leader in:
•
land and transition zone seismic data acquisition
    applications;
•
innovative marine or subsea acquisition systems
    and services;
•
seismic data processing and reservoir services;
    and
•
manufacturing of land, marine and subsea data
    acquisition equipment.
In this respect, we intend to continue our high
level of research and development investment to reinforce our
technological leadership.
Emphasize
Client Service
We believe it is important to operate in close
proximity to our clients to develop a better understanding of
their individual needs and to add measurable value to their
business processes. We respond to these needs by creating new
products or product enhancements that improve the quality of
data and reduce the data delivery time to clients. We believe
that our regional multi-client and dedicated data processing
centers in our clients' offices provide us with an
advantage in identifying contract opportunities, optimizing
service to clients and developing products responsive to new
market demands, such as seismic techniques applied to reservoir
management. We believe that we are well positioned to benefit
from the industry trend towards increased outsourcing that is
leading oil and gas companies to place greater emphasis on
relationships and service quality, including health, safety and
protection of the environment, in their selection of geophysical
services providers. We will continue to monitor our strategy
towards service to clients through:
•
tailoring our data acquisition operations to meet
    specific client demands;
•
expanding regional multi-client and dedicated
    on-site processing centers;
•
recruiting and training customer-oriented service
    staff;
•
organizing client training seminars focused on
    our products and services;
•
developing easy access to our multi-client data
    library through the increasing application of e-business
    technologies;
•
developing corporate contracts with our main
    clients;
•
taking advantage of the possibilities created by
    the development of e-business technologies to reinforce our
    marketing efforts;
•
gaining access to new data acquisition markets,
    such as subsea and newly opening territories; and
•
reinforcing client satisfaction.

Provide
Integrated Services
We are committed to providing clients with a full
array of seismic data services, from acquisition and processing
to data interpretation and management. We believe that
integration of compatible technology and equipment increases the
accuracy of data acquisition and processing, enhances the
quality of our client service and thereby improves productivity
in oil and gas exploration and production. Our clients
increasingly seek integrated solutions to better evaluate known
reserves and improve the ratio of recoverable hydrocarbons from
producing fields. We are continuing to develop our ability to
provide geoscience solutions through a combination of various
exploration and production services, including technical data
management, reservoir characterization and interpretation of
well information.
Industry
Consolidation
We believe that consolidation in the seismic
industry is the most promising avenue toward a recovery of
margins and return on capital employed in the market that
suffers from overcapacity and low pricing. In order to
potentially play a leading role in this consolidation process,
we acquired a 7.51% stake in Petroleum Geo Service ASA
("PGS") in September 2002, which permits us to be
involved in the restructuring process of PGS, without exposing
our shareholders to that company's current level of
indebtedness, beyond the
€
7.3 million
initially invested. At December 31, 2002, we recorded this
investment in our books for
€
3.2 million.

Services
Our services are organized into three SBUs for
increased efficiency. We have established a network of country
managers responsible for promoting our entire spectrum of
products and services in our main markets, focusing on providing
comprehensive solutions to client problems. We believe that our
capacity to provide integrated geophysical services is a
significant competitive advantage and will help us to implement
all components of our strategy.
Land
SBU
We are a leading land seismic contractor outside
of North America. At December 31, 2002, we had 17 land
crews performing specialized 3D and 2D seismic surveys, out of
which 12 were recording data. Revenues from our Land SBU
accounted for 25% and 26% of our revenues in 2001 and 2002,
respectively.
Land Seismic Acquisition.
Land seismic acquisition includes all
seismic surveying techniques where the recording sensor is
either in direct contact with, or in close proximity to, the
ground. Our Land SBU offers integrated services, including the
acquisition and processing of seismic data on land, in
transition zones and on the ocean floor (seabed surveys). We
believe that our expertise in harsh environments,
environmentally sensitive areas and transition zones provides us
with a competitive advantage in our principal markets: Europe,
Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. These areas
present higher barriers to entry and are less sensitive to
pricing competition due to difficult working environments and
the complexity of the projects. In Saudi Arabia, our land
seismic acquisition activities are conducted through Arabian
Geophysical & Surveying Co. ("Argas"), a joint
venture owned 49% by us and 51% by Petromin, our local partner.
Description of Activity.
Seismic surveying on land is carried
out by installing geophones linked to digital recorders that are
used to receive the signals from reflected acoustical waves.
Vibroseismic vehicles are the preferred method of generating
acoustical waves since the frequency of the waves they emit can
be precisely modulated by a computerized system and is less
susceptible to noise or error. In difficult terrain or
transition zones, however, other methods of generating
acoustical waves must be utilized, such as explosives or
airguns. For the year 2002, approximately 46% of our land
seismic studies used vibroseismic vehicles, 40% used explosives
and 14% used airguns.
Seismic surveying in transition zones and seabeds
is carried out by laying cables or other stationary measuring
devices on the ocean floor. Ocean bottom cables allow seismic
surveys to be conducted in areas not accessible to marine
vessels, such as shallow water or the area around drilling
platforms. Ocean bottom cables also provide high quality seismic
data because they are in direct contact with the ocean floor.
Our land seismic crews are equipped with advanced
proprietary equipment and software used in each stage of the
land seismic acquisition process, including:
•
the Sercel 408UL (Sercel's latest generation
    equipment) seismic data recorders, which feature 24-bit digital
    recording technology;
•
Geoland quality control software, which is used
    to verify that the location of field data points during a survey
    corresponds to their theoretical position;
•
the Sercel VE 432 vibrator electronic control
    system, used to synchronize and verify the emission of
    acoustical waves by vibrators; and
•
GeovecteurPlus software, used for on-site
    processing and quality control of acquired data.
We believe that our proprietary equipment and
software enable us to offer high quality, fully integrated land
seismic services. We have pioneered real-time positioning of
geophones and seismic sources, quality control of positioning
during land surveys, and onsite processing, which together
increase the accuracy and efficiency of such surveys.
One of the challenges inherent in land
acquisition surveys is gathering data without disrupting the
sensitive ecosystems in which such surveys are frequently
located. We have developed a strong position in environmentally
sensitive zones, such as mountainous regions, tropical forests
and swamps, by following a strict policy of
18
Table of Contents
preserving the natural environment to the extent
possible. We have designed shallow draft boats and ultra-light
drilling equipment to facilitate operations in such sensitive
zones. This equipment can be transferred safely and rapidly from
one area to another. We also work in conjunction with the local
community at site locations, hiring local employees and
obtaining necessary local authorizations to alleviate potential
opposition to our operations.
The difficulty of access to survey sites is a
major factor in determining the number of personnel required to
carry out a survey and the cost of a survey. Fully staffed land
or transition zone areas range in size from 40 to
3,000 members (principally composed of local employees in
the latter case), and the cost of a survey can range from
several hundred thousand to several million dollars per month,
depending on the size of the team and the type and difficulty of
the study.
We work closely with our clients to plan surveys
in accordance with their specifications. This provides us with a
competitive advantage in being selected to carry out surveys,
whether such surveys are awarded based on competitive bids or
directly negotiated agreements with clients. We regularly
conduct land acquisition surveys for over national and
international oil companies.
Business Development.
We continue to upgrade the equipment
used by our land acquisition crews with state-of-the-art land
recording systems. For the year ended December 31, 2002,
activity remained strong in the 3D segment, which represented
approximately 74% of our Land SBU operations. During that
period, we completed complex transition zone and shallow water
surveys in Nigeria, in the Arabian and Persian Gulfs and
Indonesia.
Offshore
SBU
We provide a full range of 3D marine seismic and
borehole services, principally in the Gulf of Mexico, the North
Sea and off the coasts of West Africa and Brazil as well as in
the Asia-Pacific region, in the case of borehole services. The
capacity to both acquire and process marine seismic data is an
important element of our overall strategy to develop our
leadership in marine seismic data acquisition and processing.
Revenues from our Offshore SBU accounted for approximately 25%
and 28% of our revenues in 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Marine Seismic Acquisition.
We currently operate a fleet of five
vessels, two of which we own, two of which we operate under
renewable time charters with Louis Dreyfus Armateurs
("LDA"), one of the largest shipowners in France and
one of which we operate under time charter indirectly in
partnership with LDA. Time charters allow us to change vessels
in order to keep pace with market developments and provide us
with the security of continued access to vessels without the
significant investment required for ownership. LDA also supplies
crews for the three vessels not wholly owned by us (other than
persons directly involved in seismic data acquisition). LDA has
provided some of the additional capital necessary to modernize
the vessels and has renegotiated the time charters for such
vessels following their reconfiguration.
On December 21, 2000, we purchased from LDA
its 40% interest in CGG Marine (one of our seismic operation
companies), acquired 50% of the capital stock of the entity that
directly owns the
CGG Mistral
and agreed to the
subsequent upgrade of the
CGG Mistral
from six to ten
streamers. On January 16, 2001, we acquired two marine
seismic vessels and 1,000 square kilometers of seismic data from
Aker.
From January through July 2002, the
CGG
Mistral
was out of service as it went through a
technological upgrade, including the increase from six to ten
streamers capacity. After returning to service in July, however,
the
Mistral
sank on December 21 after an accidental
fire broke out onboard off the coast of Trinidad. All personnel
on board were safely evacuated. The streamers on the
CGG
Mistral
, which were deployed for operation at the time of
the accident, were partially recovered and are under evaluation
by our insurers for potential repair. We are aware of no impact
on the environment and, taking into account amounts due to us
under our insurance policies, the loss of the
CGG Mistral
did not have a material impact on our results of operations
for 2002. We do not intend to replace this vessel.
Description of Activity.
Marine seismic surveys are conducted
through the deployment of submersible cables
(streamers) and acoustic sources (airguns) from marine
vessels. Such streamers are each up to ten kilometers long and
carry hydrophone groups normally spaced 12.5 meters apart along
the length of the streamer. The recording capacity of a vessel
is dependent upon the number of streamers it tows and the number
of acoustic
19
Table of Contents
sources it carries, as well as the configuration
of its data recording system. By increasing the number of
streamers and acoustic sources used, a marine seismic operator
can perform large surveys more rapidly and efficiently.
As a result of the loss of the
CGG
Mistral
, we now operate five marine seismic vessels. Each of
our vessels is equipped with modern integrated equipment and
software and has the capacity to conduct 3D surveys. Our vessels
can deploy between six and ten streamers up to ten kilometers
long and are equipped with on-board processing capability. Our
on-board data processing employs our proprietary software.
Marine seismic acquisition requires advanced
navigation equipment for positioning vessels, acoustic sources
and streamers and specialized techniques for safe and rapid
deployment and retrieval of acoustic sources and streamers. Each
vessel operated by CGG Marine is fitted with a full complement
of modern integrated equipment and software, including onboard
computer equipment running our GeovecteurPlus software, used to
process seismic data.
Multi-client Library Sales.
Non-exclusive surveys accounted for
approximately 66% of our marine seismic activities in 2002 as a
result of two new multiclient programs we launched. The first
covers in the Gulf of Mexico, the Garden Banks and the
Mississippi Atwater Valley and totals 8,370 km
2
and the second, covering 7,618 km
2
of new data,
is in Brazil. Both are highly pre-committed by clients.
Exclusive contract surveys generally provide for
us to be paid a fixed fee per square kilometer of data acquired.
When we acquire marine seismic data on an exclusive basis, the
customer directs the scope and extent of the survey and retains
ownership of the data obtained. In regions where there is
extensive petroleum exploration, such as Brazil, the Gulf of
Mexico, West Africa and the North Sea, we also undertake
multi-client (or non-exclusive) surveys whereby we retain
ownership of the seismic data. This enables us to license
multiple companies to use the data. As a result, we have the
potential to obtain multiple and higher revenues, while our
customers who license the data have the opportunity to pay lower
prices. Our policy is generally to require a minimum share of
the estimated cost of each multi-client survey to be covered by
pre-sales to clients prior to commencement. We treat these
multi-client projects as investments. In determining whether to
undertake multi-client surveys, we consider factors that include
the availability of initial participants to underwrite a share
of the costs to acquire such data, the location to be surveyed,
the probability and timing of any future lease concessions and
development activity in the area and the availability, quality
and price of competing data.
Borehole Seismic.
Our borehole services business records
and processes seismic information in oil or gas wells that is
used to map geological strata and to complement and enhance 2D
and 3D seismic surveys. Over many years we have developed and
brought to market new data acquisition and processing technology
to record and process such data better, faster and at more
levels within the well. In addition to this vertical seismic
profiling service, we now offer highly sensitive downhole tools
to record microseismic disturbances caused by hydrocarbon
production or reservoir stimulation by hydrofracturing. This
enables active faults and hydrofracturing progress to be mapped
accurately in real time. Our clients include the major petroleum
companies, both international and national, and the major
logging contractors.
On December 27, 2002, we sold our borehole
seismic activity business to Baker Atlas, a division of Baker
Hughes for U.S.$12 million cash and agreed to form a joint
venture with Baker Atlas for the processing and interpretation
of borehole seismic data in which we own a 49% stake, The
joint-venture was incorporated in February 2003
Positioning.
Effective December 24, 2001, we
sold the three companies comprising our radio positioning
business to Fugro for
€
7 million
in cash. Until that time, we provided positioning services to
companies mostly unrelated to the seismic industry. Our
operational system was based on differential global positioning
satellite technology, which is able to calculate the
co-ordinates of any location on earth to within one meter.
Following the sale to Fugro, we retained some internal radio
positioning capacity for our own needs but do not have the
capacity to offer stand-alone radio positioning services to
third parties.
Business Development.
We intend to maintain a
technologically advanced fleet to enhance our position in the
marine seismic data acquisition and processing market.
20
Table of Contents
We intend to continue to develop our offshore
multi-clients program while carefully selecting survey
opportunities in order to monitor our investment closely and to
build a sound data library in promising exploration areas. We
believe that a strong position in this market segment is vital
to enhance further our global competitive position, as it will
permit us to adapt to current market demand and will provide
opportunities for significant future sales.
We intend to continue the development of advanced
techniques, such as the use of solid streamers, plus on-board
processing or data transmission from vessel to onshore
processing centers or client facilities, to reduce data delivery
time to clients.
Processing
& Reservoir SBU
We provide seismic data processing and reservoir
services through our network of 26 data processing centers
(including the two dedicated 4D processing centers for which we
were awarded contracts in 2001) and reservoir teams located
around the world, and we have renewed our contracts to provide
dedicated centers for two major oil and gas companies. Revenues
from our Processing & Reservoir SBU accounted for
approximately 14% and 18% of our revenues in 2001 and 2002,
respectively.
Description of Activity.
Our seismic data processing operations
transform seismic data acquired in the field into 2D
cross-sections or 3D images of the earth's subsurface,
using Geocluster, our newly introduced proprietary seismic
software. These images are then interpreted by geophysicists and
geologists for use by oil and gas companies in evaluating
prospective areas, selecting drilling sites and managing
producing reservoirs. We process seismic data acquired by our
own land and marine acquisition crews as well as seismic data
acquired by non-affiliated third parties. Marine seismic data
has been a significant source of the growth in demand for our
data processing services, and represents over two-thirds of our
operating revenues generated in our processing centers. In
addition, we reprocess previously processed data using new
techniques to improve the quality of seismic images.
Beyond conventional processing and reprocessing,
we are also increasingly involved in reservoir-applied
geophysics. Our Processing & Reservoir SBU offers
reservoir-related services, an activity which encompasses large
integrated reservoir studies from reprocessing to full reservoir
simulation, as well as advanced technology studies such as
reservoir characterization, stratigraphic inversion and
stochastic reservoir modeling. In 2001 we were awarded contracts
to operate dedicated 4D processing centers for BP and Shell.
While our reservoir teams mainly operate from
Houston (covering South American projects), London and Massy
(France), we also provide seismic data processing (conventional
and reservoir-oriented) services through a large network of
international and regional data processing centers located
around the world. We operate six international processing
centers located in Massy (France), London (U.K.), Oslo
(Norway), Houston (U.S.), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and
Calgary (Canada). Five of these centers are linked by high-speed
fiber optic connections and all of our centers have access to
powerful high-performance computers. We complement our network
of international centers with regional multi-client centers and
dedicated centers which bring processing facilities within our
clients' premises. Thirteen of our data processing centers
are "dedicated" centers that are located in our
clients' offices. We believe that these dedicated centers
are responsive to the trend among oil and gas companies to
outsource processing work while providing our clients with a
high level of service. These centers enable our geoscientists to
work directly with clients and tailor our services to meet
individual clients' needs.
Each of the principal computers used at our
centers is leased for a period of approximately two years,
permitting us to upgrade to more advanced equipment at the time
of renewal. In 2002, we had more than 10,000 PC clusters
worldwide, a real-time computer capacity representing
15 teraflops as of January 1, 2003, five times more
than at the start of 2002 and 30 times more than at the
start of 2001. Our delivery time has decreased in recent years,
enabling delivery of data to clients within the same timeframe
as work performed directly onboard marine vessels. We believe
that, with the combined capacity of our centers located in Massy
and London, we have one of the largest computing capacities of
any private facility in Europe.

IT and Data Management.
We compete in the data management
market through sales of PetroVision, a software designed to
manage and permit instant retrieval of large quantities of
geological, geophysical, well and production data.
Processing Software Development and Sales.
We sell Geocluster, our proprietary
processing software, to the oil and gas industry as well as to
scientific and university research centers. This software is
currently available on most modern platforms in the market,
including Linux platforms. Our other software products include:
•
Geovista, a set of software products used to
    produce accurate images of geological structures and showing

Business Development.
The Processing and Reservoir SBU
currently operates 13 open centers and 13 dedicated
centers within client offices. The deployment of new
technologies developed by research and development teams and
improved project management methods have increased efficiency
crucial in the domain of time and depth migrations. The
expertise in 4D that we acquired in the North Sea, in particular
through our 4D dedicated centers in Aberdeen, has now been
exported to the Gulf of Mexico, where this activity is growing.
Our expertise in fractured reservoirs has enabled
us to develop in the Middle East. This has led to the award of
first 4D land survey project and a reservoir study in
Bahrain that supplements the acquisition and processing already
completed by us in 1999. As a result, we opened a new regional
data processing center in Abu Dhabi that became operational
in 2001.
Our geographical presence was strengthened in
Southeast Asia with the opening of the Kuala Lumpur hub,
equipped with new computer facilities, which is becoming one of
our three major regional hubs, after London and Houston,
enabling us to increase our presence throughout the Asia-Pacific
region.
Throughout 2001 and 2002, we have developed and
promoted our high technology expertise, regional experience and
flexibility with the ultimate goal of providing our clients with
solutions that are innovative, adapted and more geared towards
reservoir solutions.
We believe that our network of processing
centers, the quality of our personnel, and our innovative
technology provide us with a strong base to consolidate our
presence in our markets and further expand our activities.
Products
We conduct our equipment development and
production operations through our Sercel subsidiary. Sercel is
the market leader in the development and production of seismic
acquisition systems and specialized equipment in the land and
offshore seismic markets. Sercel is operated as an independent
division and makes most of its sales to purchasers other than
CGG. Sercel currently operates six equipment manufacturing
facilities, located in Nantes and Saint Gaudens (France),
Houston (U.S.), Singapore, Alfreton (England) and Calgary
(Canada). In China, Sercel is also a 40% partner in a
manufacturing joint-venture with XPEIC (Xian Petroleum Equipment
Industrial Corporation). Revenues from our Products segment
accounted for approximately 36% and 28% of our consolidated
operating revenues in 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Description of Activity.
Sercel offers and supports worldwide a
complete range of geophysical equipment for seismic data
acquisition, including seismic recording equipment and
vibroseismic vehicles, and provides its
22
Table of Contents
clients with integrated solutions. Sercel's
principal product line is seismic recording equipment,
particularly the 408UL 24-bit recording systems.
In November 1999, Sercel launched the latest
generation seismic data recording system, the 408UL. The 408UL
offers greater operating flexibility than any other previous
generation system due to:
•
clusters of ultra-light acquisition modules
    allowing total flexibility of configuration, with the option of
    mixing different communication media (cable, radio, micro-wave,
    laser, fiber-optic) to form a true network allowing the user to
    define data routing and hence avoid obstacles in the field; and
•
an architecture fully supported by a new
    generation of object-oriented software.
Sercel significantly expanded its product range
and increased its market share in the seismic equipment industry
with the acquisitions of GeoScience Corporation in December 1999
and Mark Products in September 2000. As a result of these
acquisitions, Sercel is a market leader in the development and
production of both marine and land geophysical equipment. The
408UL is one of the industry's most advanced systems, and
at the end of the year, the installed base reached more than
240,000 channels. Sercel, seeking to provide users with systems
well-adapted to various environments, developed the 408UL system
on the basis of an upgradeable architecture. In addition to
recording systems, Sercel develops and produces a complete range
of geophysical equipment for seismic data acquisition, including
vibroseismic vehicles, streamers, ocean bottom cables,
geophones, hydrophones, cables and connectors and other
ancillary geophysical products. One important benefit of the
GeoScience acquisition has been the introduction of 408UL system
technology in Sercel's new streamer and seabed equipment
product lines, based on concepts previously developed by
GeoScience. Sercel has thus recently developed, among other
products, an innovative solid streamer cable for marine seismic
data acquisition that is designed to reduce downtime due to
adverse weather conditions and thereby increase data acquisition
productivity.
Backlog
Backlog for our Services segment represents the
revenues we expect to receive from commitments for contract
services we have with our customers and, in connection with the
acquisition of multi-client data, represents the amount of
pre-sale commitments for such data. Backlog for our Products
segment represents the total value of orders we have received
but not yet fulfilled.
Backlog estimates are based on a number of
assumptions and estimates, including assumptions as to exchange
rates between the euro and the U.S. dollar and estimates of the
percentage of completion contracts. Contracts for services are
occasionally modified by mutual consent and in certain instances
are cancelable by the customers on short notice without penalty.
Consequently, our backlog as of any particular date may not be
indicative of our actual operating results for any succeeding
period.
As of December 31, 2002, we estimate that
our total backlog (Services and Products) was approximately
€
300 million,
compared to total backlog of
€
287 million
as of December 31, 2002.
Seasonality
Our land and marine seismic acquisition
activities are seasonal in nature. We generally experience
decreased revenues in the first quarter of each year due to the
effects of weather conditions in the Northern Hemisphere and to
the fact that our principal clients are generally not prepared
to fully commit their annual exploration budget to specific
projects during that period.
We have historically experienced higher levels of
activity in our equipment manufacturing operations in the fourth
quarter as our clients seek to fully deploy annual budgeted
capital.
Intellectual Property
We continually seek the most effective and
appropriate protection for our products, processes and software
and, as a general rule, will file for patent, copyright or other
statutory protection whenever possible. Our patents, trademarks,
service marks, copyrights, licenses and technical information
collectively represent a material asset to
23
Table of Contents
our business. However, no single patent
trademark, copyright, license or piece of technical information
is of material importance to our business when taken as a whole.
As of December 31, 2002, we held 60 patents in respect
of different products and processes worldwide. The duration of
these patents varies from four to 20 years, depending upon
the date filed and the duration of protection granted by each
country.
Competition
Most contracts are obtained through a competitive
bidding process, which is standard for the industry in which we
operate. Important factors in awarding contracts include service
quality, technological capacity, performance, reputation,
experience of personnel, customer relations and long-standing
relationships, as well as price. While no single company
competes with us in all of our segments, we are subject to
intense competition with respect to each of our segments. We
compete with large, international companies as well as smaller,
local companies. In addition, we compete with major service
providers and government-sponsored enterprises and affiliates.
Some of our competitors operate more data acquisition crews than
we do and have substantially greater financial and other
resources.
We believe that consolidation in the seismic
industry is the most promising avenue toward a recovery of
margins and return on capital employed in a market that suffers
from overcapacity and low pricing. It is our intent, on a
long-term basis, to work toward consolidation of the industry.
In order to potentially play a leading role in this
consolidation process, we acquired a 7.51% stake in PGS in
September 2002, which permits us to be involved in the
restructuring process of PGS, without exposing our shareholders
to the current level of indebtedness of PGS, beyond the
€
7.3 million
initially invested. At December 31, 2002, we recorded this
investment in our books for
€
3.2 million.
Our principal competitor for the manufacture of
seismic survey equipment is Input/ Output Inc. The market for
seismic survey equipment is highly competitive and is
characterized by continual and rapid technological change. We
believe that technology is the principal basis for competition
in this market as oil and gas companies have increasingly
demanded new equipment for activities such as reservoir
management and data acquisition in difficult terrain. Oil and
gas companies have also become more demanding with regard to the
quality of data acquired. Other competitive factors include
price and customer support services.
Litigation
We are not, nor are any of our subsidiaries,
involved in any litigation, arbitration or administrative
proceedings relating to amounts which, individually or in the
aggregate, are material and, to the best of our knowledge, there
are no such litigation, arbitration or administrative
proceedings pending or threatened.

Environmental Matters and Safety
Our operations are subject to a variety of laws
and regulations relating to environmental protection. We invest
financial and managerial resources to comply with such laws and
regulations. Although such expenditures historically have not
been material to us, and we believe that we are in compliance in
all material respects with
25
Table of Contents
applicable environmental laws and regulations,
the fact that such laws and regulations are changed frequently
prevents us from predicting the cost of impact of such laws and
regulations on our future operations. We are not involved in any
legal proceedings concerning environmental matters and are not
aware of any claims or potential liability concerning
environmental matters that could have a material adverse impact
on our business or consolidated financial condition.
Efforts to improve safety and environmental
performance over the last few years continued as some procedures
were strengthened and others implemented to increase awareness
among personnel and subcontractors, including obligatory regular
meetings in the field and onboard. A comprehensive Health,
Safety and Environment management system, placing particular
emphasis on risk management, has been established to cover all
activities and is being continuously adapted for each segment.
Item 5:     OPERATING
AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Operating Results
The following operating and financial review and
prospects should be read in connection with our consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in
this annual report, which have been prepared in accordance with
French GAAP.
As CGG is listed on the New-York Stock Exchange
(American Depositary Shares), we have to file on Form 20F
with the SEC our annual financial statements reconciled with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States ("U.S. GAAP"). For the year
ended December 31, 2000 there were no material differences
between French GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Beginning with the
financial statements for fiscal year 2001, French GAAP
differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The
differences between French GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they
relate to the Group, and the reconciliation of net income and
shareholders' equity to U.S. GAAP are described in
note 27 to our consolidated financial statements.
Factors Affecting Results of
Operations
We divide our businesses into two segments,
geophysical services and geophysical products. We have organized
our Services segment into three strategic business units, or
SBUs, since 1999:
•
the Land SBU, for land and shallow water seismic
    acquisition activities;
•
the Offshore SBU, for marine seismic acquisition
    activities, multi-client library sales and borehole seismic
    services; and
•
the Processing & Reservoir SBU, for
    seismic data processing, data management and reservoir studies.
Our Products segment includes primarily our
equipment manufacturing subsidiary Sercel.
During 2000 and 2001, our operational capability
was enhanced by several strategic acquisitions, which broadened
the market presence of both our Products segment and our
Offshore (SBU).
During 2002, we did not acquire any further
operations, but we acquired a 7.51% financial stake in Petroleum
Geo Services ASA ("PGS"). PGS, a Norwegian
corporation, has its headquarters in Oslo and is listed in Oslo
and on the Nasdaq. PGS has two business segments, one relating
to seismic data acquisition and processing, and the other
covering floating production and storage operations (FPSO).
On July 4, 2002, we acquired a
30% stake in the share capital of CGG Asia-Pacific
(formerly Teknosif Sdn Bhd) with a value of
405,000 Malaysian Ringgit
(
€
0.1 million).
CGG Asia-Pacific is engaged in data processing activities and is
incorporated in Malaysia. This transaction did not generate any
material goodwill.
In August 2002, we disposed of our shareholding
in Paradigm Geophysical Ltd. ("PGEO") and sold to
Baker Hughes Inc. ("Baker Hughes") in December 2002
our borehole seismic data acquisition business as described
below in "Acquisitions and Dispositions".
Also, in December 2002, our seismic vessel the
CGG Mistral
sank after fire broke out accidentally off
the coast of Trinidad. All personnel on board were safely
evacuated. The streamers on the
CGG Mistral
, which were
26
Table of Contents
deployed for operation at the time the fire broke
out, were partially recovered. We are aware that the fire did
not have any material impact on the environment. Further, taking
into account amounts due to us under our insurance policies, the
loss of the
CGG Mistral
did not have a material
impact on our results of operations for 2002. We do not expect
any material impact on earnings for 2003.
During 2000 and 2001, our shareholders'
equity increased by an aggregate of
€
191 million,
and it decreased by an aggregate of
€
25 million
in 2002. We issued U.S.$170 million
(
€
191 million)
of seven-year senior notes at the end of 2000, and an additional
U.S.$55 million
(
€
62 million)
of such senior notes in February 2002.
Overall demand for geophysical services is
dependent upon spending by oil and gas companies for
exploration, production, development and field management
activities. This spending depends in part on present and
expected future oil and gas prices. Oil and gas prices increased
significantly from mid-1999 through 2000, resulting in a modest
increase in spending on geophysical services by our clients. In
early 2001, economic conditions in Europe and the United States
began to deteriorate, and oil and gas prices declined. The
events of September 11, 2001 compounded the worsening
economic climate. These conditions, in turn, resulted in a
reduction in energy demand and downward pressure on energy
prices, particularly gas prices in North America. Energy prices
in 2002 fluctuated at a more favorable level in the second half
of the year and continued to move at high levels during the
first quarter of 2003 in an environment of uncertainty stemming
from the Iraq crisis. We believe that beyond the current
short-term outlook, the need by the major oil and gas operators
to replace reserves (which are currently being depleted at a
rate estimated by industry analysts at 5% to 10% per year) will
be a factor tending to support energy prices and increase demand
for our services.
Our revenues for 2002 decreased 13% compared with
revenues for 2001. Expressed in U.S. dollars, the decrease
amounted to 8%. The decrease resulted primarily from a slowdown
in our Products segment, which experienced a decrease in
revenues (excluding intra-group sales) of 34% for 2002 compared
to 2001, as a result of a weaker equipment market globally.
Expressed in U.S. dollars, the decrease amounted to 30%.
Revenues for 2002 for our Land SBU decreased 8% compared to
2001. Revenues from our Offshore SBU were stable despite
the sale of our radio positioning business in December 2001 and
the upgrading of the
CGG Mistral
, which put it out of
service from January through July 2002. Revenues from our
Processing & Reservoir SBU increased 14% for 2002
compared to 2001. Our backlog as of December 31, 2002 was
€
270 million
(U.S.$283 million), compared to
€
300 million
(U.S.$264 million) as of December 31, 2001,
representing a 7% increase in U.S. dollar terms. This was
attributable primarily to our Services segment.
Our results of operations have also been affected
by higher proportion of non-exclusive surveys in 2002 when
compared to 2001 because non-exclusive surveys have larger
initial financing requirements. In 2001, our marine seismic
activities were fairly balanced between exclusive and
non-exclusive surveys, with non-exclusive surveys accounting for
approximately 43% of our marine seismic activities in 2001. For
the year ended December 31, 2002, non-exclusive surveys
accounted for approximately 66% of our marine seismic activities
due to an important survey conducted in Brazil during the year
2002 that was highly pre-committed.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
On December 27 2002, we sold our borehole
seismic activity business to Baker Atlas, a division of Baker
Hughes for U.S.$12 million cash and agreed to form a joint
venture with Baker Hughes for the processing and interpretation
of borehole seismic data. The joint venture, in which we own a
49% stake, was incorporated in February 2003 and is currently
operational.
In September 2002, we acquired 7,757,400 shares
of PGS for approximately
€
7.3 million,
representing a 7.51% stake in that company.
We believe that consolidation in the seismic
industry is the most promising avenue towards a recovery of
margins and return on capital employed in a market that suffers
from overcapacity and low pricing. It is our intent, on a
long-term basis, to work toward consolidation of the industry.
We acquired the PGS stake with the objective of playing a
leading role in this consolidation process without exposing our
shareholders to the current level of indebtedness of PGS beyond
the
€
7.3 million
initially invested. As of December 31, 2002, this
investment was recorded in our books for
€
3.2 million.

On May 21, 2002, Talamantes B.V., a Dutch
company and PGEO entered into a merger agreement providing for
the merger of PGEO into Talamantes or one of its subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, all PGEO outstanding ordinary
shares were to be converted into the right to receive $5.15 in
cash each, without interest. In consideration of the execution
of the merger agreement by PGEO, we entered into a voting
agreement, dated as of May 21, 2002, with Talamantes by
which we agreed to vote in favor of the merger. The merger was
completed on August 13, 2002 and our PGEO shares were
converted into the right to receive the merger consideration
upon surrender of the shares. We received U.S.$7.7 million
in merger consideration in September 2002.
Effective December 24, 2001, we sold the
three companies comprising our radio positioning business to
Fugro N.V., a Dutch corporation, for
€
7 million
in cash.
On January 16, 2001, we acquired two marine
seismic vessels and certain seismic data from an affiliate of
Aker. As consideration for this acquisition, we paid
U.S.$25 million in cash, which we funded using a portion of
the proceeds of our offering of senior notes in November 2000,
and we issued 1,591,407 shares of our common stock at a value of
approximately
€
69.27 per share,
representing approximately
€
110 million,
to Aker.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies, which we
have applied consistently in all material respects, are more
fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated annual
financial statements contained in this annual report. However,
certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to
the portrayal of our financial position and results of
operations. As we must exercise significant judgment when we
apply these policies, their application is subject to an
inherent degree of uncertainty. We believe the following
critical accounting policies require our more significant
judgments and affect estimates used in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements.
Multi-client survey accounting
Multi-client surveys consist of seismic surveys
to be licensed to customers on a non-exclusive basis. All costs
directly incurred in acquiring, processing and otherwise
completing seismic surveys are capitalized into the multi-client
library. The multi-client library is stated at this cost less
accumulated amortization or fair value if lower. We review the
library for potential impairment for each survey on an ongoing
basis.
Revenue recognition
Revenues related to multi-client surveys result
from pre-commitments and licenses after completion of the
surveys ("after-sales").
Pre-commitments
—
Generally we obtain commitments from a limited number of
customers before a seismic project is completed. These
commitments cover part or all of the survey area blocks. In
return for the commitment, the customer typically gains the
ability to direct or influence the project specifications,
advance access to data as it is being acquired, and favorable
pricing.
We recognize pre-commitments as revenue based on
the ratio of project cost incurred to total estimated project
cost, which we believe reflects the physical progress of the
project.
After
sales
— Generally we grant a
license entitling non-exclusive access to a complete and ready
for use, specifically defined portion of our multi-client data
library in exchange for a fixed and determinable payment. We
recognize after sales revenue upon the client executing a valid
license agreement and having been granted access to the data.
Within thirty days of execution and access, the client may
exercise our warranty that all the data conforms to technical
specifications.
After sales volume
agreements
— We enter into a
customer arrangement in which we agree to grant licenses to the
customer for access to a specified number of blocks of the
multi-client library. These arrangements typically enable the
customer to select and access the specific blocks for a limited
period of time. We recognize revenue when the blocks are
selected and the client has been granted access to the data.

Table of Contents
Amortization
We amortize the multi-client surveys according to
three different sets of parameters depending on the area or type
of surveys considered:
•
Gulf of Mexico surveys: amortized on the basis of
    66.6% of revenues. Starting at time of data delivery, a minimum
    straight-line depreciation scheme is applied on a three years
    period, should total accumulated depreciation from sales be
    below this minimum level,
•
Rest of the world surveys: same as above except
    depreciation is 83.3% of revenues and straight-line depreciation
    is a five year period from data delivery,
•
Long term strategic 2D surveys: amortization
    on sales according to the above area split and straight-line
    depreciation on a seven years period from data delivery.
Exclusive survey accounting
    (Proprietary/Contract services)
We perform seismic services for a specific
customer. We recognize proprietary/contract revenue as the
services are rendered. We evaluate the progress to date, in a
manner generally consistent with the physical progress of the
project, and recognize revenue based on the ratio of the
project's cost to date to the total project cost.
Other geophysical services
Revenue from our other geophysical services is
recognized as the services are performed.
Goodwill amortization and impairment of
    long-lived assets
We amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis
over future periods of benefit, as estimated by management,
which may range from five to twenty years. We select the period
of benefit based on the strategic significance of the asset
acquired.
We assess the impairment of identifiable
intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could
trigger an impairment review include the following:
•
significant underperformance relative to expected
    operating results based upon historical and/or projected data;
•
significant changes in the manner of our use of
    the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and
•
significant negative industry or economic trends.
When we determine that the carrying value of
intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill may not be
recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above
indicators of impairment, we compare that the carrying value of
each group of autonomous assets (independent operating units or
subsidiaries) with the undiscounted cash flows that they are
expected to generate based upon our expectations of future
economic and operating conditions. Should this comparison
indicate that an asset is impaired, the write-down recognized is
equivalent to the difference between carrying value and either
value or the sum of discounted future cash flows.

year ended December 31, 2001
Operating Revenues
Our consolidated operating revenues for 2002
decreased 13% to
€
700.7 million
from
€
802.9 million
for 2001. Because approximately 85% of our operating revenues
during 2002 and 2001 were in U.S. dollars, the decrease in
the value of the U.S. dollar that occurred during the
second half of 2002 had a negative impact on our operating
revenues as expressed in euros in our financial statements.
Expressed in U.S. dollars, our consolidated operating
revenues decreased 8% to U.S.$665.1 million from
U.S.$719.5 million in 2001. This decrease was
29
Table of Contents
primarily attributable to decreases in operating
revenues in our Products segment and, to a lesser extent, our
Land SBU.
Services
Operating revenues for our Services segment
(excluding internal sales) for 2002 were fairly stable at
€
507.6 million
from
€
511.5 million
for 2001. Expressed in U.S. dollars, operating revenues
increased 5% to U.S.$482.9 million for 2002 from
U.S.$458.6 million for 2001 due to continued growth in
Offshore SBU multi-client library sales and strong operating
performance of our Processing & Reservoir SBU.
Land SBU.
Operating
revenues for our Land SBU for 2002 decreased 8% to
€
184.6 million
compared to
€
201.5 million
for 2001. In U.S. dollars, operating revenues decreased 2%
to U.S.$176.1 million for 2002 from U.S.$180.5 million
for 2001. This slight decrease was a consequence of our low
backlog in the fourth quarter of 2001, which mainly affected
operating revenues for the first quarter of 2002. On average,
15 crews were in operation in 2002 compared to 14 in 2001.
Offshore SBU.
Operating revenues for our Offshore
SBU for 2002 were essentially stable at
€
199.8 million
compared to
€
201.7 million
for 2001. In U.S. dollars, operating revenues increased 5%
to U.S.$190.1 million from for 2002 U.S.$181.1 million
for 2001. Despite the temporary unavailability of the
CGG Mistral
from January through July 2002 and the
sale of our radio positioning business, operating revenues were
essentially stable due to better operating performance of our
vessels and improved pricing for certain exclusive surveys.
Multi-client data sales increased 35% to
€
134 million
for 2002 from
€
99 million
for 2001 essentially due to high level of pre-commitment sales.
Exclusive contracts accounted for 34% of our Offshore SBU sales
in 2002 compared to 57% in 2001. The net book value of our
marine multi-client data library was
€
125.8 million
as of December 31, 2002 compared to
€
91.3 million
as of December 31, 2001.
Processing & Reservoir SBU.
Operating revenues for our
Processing & Reservoir SBU for 2002 increased 14% to
€
123.2 million
compared to
€
108.3 million
for 2001. In U.S. dollars, operating revenues increased 20%
to U.S.$116.7 million for 2002 from U.S.$97 million
for 2001 due to the increased market penetration of our high end
products.
Products
Operating revenues for our Products segment for
2002 decreased 18% to
€
262.4 million
from
€
321.2 million
for 2001. Expressed in U.S. dollars, operating revenues
decreased 14% to U.S.$247.4 million for 2002 from
U.S.$287.6 million for 2001. Excluding intra-group sales,
operating revenues decreased 34% to
€
193.1 million
for 2002 compared to
€
291.4 million
for 2001. Sales of land products experienced softer demand than
in the prior year, which had benefited from exceptionally strong
market conditions in 2001. Marine product sales, however,
doubled, which was attributable to the sales of four Seal
systems.
Operating Expenses
Cost of operations, including depreciation and
amortization, decreased 17% to
€
531.4 million
for 2002 from
€
641.7 million
for 2001. As a percentage of operating revenues, cost of
operations decreased to 76% for 2002 compared to 80% for 2001,
largely due to more efficient operations, principally in the
Processing & Reservoir and Offshore SBUs. Gross profit
increased to
€
169.3 million
for 2002 compared to
€
161.2 million
for 2001.
Research and development expenditures, net of
government grants, decreased 23% to
€
27.1 million
for 2002 from
€
35.3 million
for 2001 due primarily to the costs of developing and testing
prototype marine products in 2001.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased 2% to
€
86.7 million
for 2002 from
€
84.8 million
for 2001, due primarily to the payment of certain corporate
consulting fees, especially in connection with our acquisition
of PGS shares. As a percentage of operating revenues, selling,
general and administrative costs increased to 12% in 2002
compared to 11% in 2001.
30
Table of Contents
Other revenues decreased 55% to
€
6.1 million
for 2002 from
€
13.7 million
for 2001. Other revenues for 2002 consisted essentially of
non-recurring gains of
€
8 million
related to the sale of our Borehole seismic activity business
and a non-recurring loss of
€
2 million
due to the sale of our Paradigm stock. Other revenues for 2002
also included an asset write-down of
€
62 million
related to the shipboard fire that caused our seismic vessel the
CGG Mistral
to sink, which included the value of the
vessel and the equipment on board. This write down was offset by
the insurance indemnities recorded in the same amount, of which
we received U.S.$42 million in early 2003. Other revenues
for 2001 included primarily revenues of
€
8 million
related to the sales of our interest in one of our Gulf of
Mexico multi-client surveys and non-recurring gains of
€
5 million.
Such
€
5 million
gain came mostly from the sale of our radio positioning business
and net restructuring credits that were offset by anticipated
Land SBU contract losses in Argentina.
Operating Income (Loss)
We had an operating income for 2002 of
€
61.6 million
compared to an operating income of
€
54.8 million
for 2001.
Operating income from our Services segment was
€
27.4 million
for 2002 compared to
€
0.5 million
for 2001. This significant increase resulted primarily from the
improvement of the profitability in our Offshore and
Processing & Reservoir SBUs.
Operating income from our Products segment was
€
51.2 million
for 2002 compared to
€
71.2 million
for 2001. The decrease was due primarily to the weakening
U.S. dollar and decreased demand for land products, which
generally carry a higher profit margin than marine products.
Financial Income and Expenses,
    Net
Net interest and financial expenses increased 42%
for 2002 to
€
32.6 million
from
€
23.0
million for 2001. The increase resulted primarily from the
issuance in February 2002 of an additional U.S.$55 million
10 5/8% Senior Notes due 2007, which increased our cost of
debt, and from an allowance of
€
4.1 million
resulting from the fall in value of PGS stock.
Net debt was
€
201.7 million
as of December 31, 2002 compared to
€
229.0 million as
of December 31, 2001. This decrease was principally the
result of a weaker dollar at the end of 2002 than at the end of
2001, since most of our debt is denominated in dollars. Gross
financial expenses (excluding PGS allowance) were
€
32 million
for 2002 compared to
€
27 million
for 2001 primarily as a result of the issuance of senior notes.
Financial income was
€
3 million
for 2002 compared to
€
4 million
for 2001, as a result of overnight deposits.
Foreign exchange gain was
€
7.9 million
for 2002 compared to a foreign exchange loss of
€
1.4 million
for 2001 due primarily to (i) the weakening of the U.S.
dollar against the euro that began during the second quarter of
2002 and (ii) our hedging policy. In connection with
hedging our currency exposure risks, we hedge the
U.S. dollar by forward sales, which can have either a
favorable or adverse impact on financial result due to the
actual variation in the exchange rate for the euro and the U.S.
dollar.
Equity in Income (Losses) of
    Investees
Income from investments accounted for under the
equity method decreased to
€
6.4 million
for 2002 from
€
8.8 million
for 2001, primarily due to the particular strong performance of
Argas, our Saudi Arabian joint venture, in 2001.
Income Taxes
Income taxes were essentially stable at
€
17.4 million
for 2002 compared to
€
16.8 million
for 2001. We are not subject to a worldwide taxation system, and
the income tax paid in foreign countries, mainly based on
revenues, does not generate comparable tax credits in France,
our principal place of business.
31
Table of Contents
Net Income (Loss)
Net income for 2002 was
€
17.4 million,
after deducting minority interest of
€
2.2 million
resulting from our 50% interest in the entity that was formed
for the purpose of directly owning the
CGG Mistral
,
compared to a net income of
€
15.7 million
for 2001.
Year ended December 31, 2001 Compared to
Year ended December 31, 2000
Operating Revenues
Our consolidated operating revenues increased 15%
to
€
803 million
in 2001 from
€
695 million
in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to greater
sales of seismic equipment, particularly land seismic equipment,
as well as additional revenues from our Offshore SBU resulting
from the increase in our acquisition capacity following the
purchase of the two vessels from Aker in January 2001.
Services
Operating revenues for our Services segment
(excluding internal sales) increased 11% to
€
512 million
in 2001 from
€
459 million
in 2000. This increase was due primarily to increased marine
seismic survey activity by our Offshore SBU resulting from the
acquisition of the two vessels noted immediately above.
Land SBU.
Operating
revenues for our Land SBU increased 2% to
€
202 million in
2001 from
€
197 million
in 2000. The modest increase reflected the limited recovery of
the worldwide market for seismic services, primarily in the area
of land-based seismic surveys in North America and the Middle
East. As we have a strong position in the Middle East, the
recovery resulted in slightly improved revenues for our Land
SBU, even though the recovery did not extend to regions outside
of North America and the Middle East.
Offshore SBU.
Operating revenues for our Offshore
SBU increased 34% to
€
202 million
in 2001 from
€
151 million
in 2000. The increase was due primarily to increased marine
seismic survey activity resulting from our additional
acquisition capacity with the purchase of two vessels from Aker,
the
CGG Symphony
and the
CGG Amadeus
. We estimate
that operating revenues of our Offshore SBU were approximately
€
9 million
lower than they would have been due to adverse weather
conditions off the coast of Morocco during the second quarter of
2001.
Multi-client data sales remained relatively
constant at
€
99 million
in 2001 compared to
€
98 million
in 2000. Total sales of multi-client surveys, including land
multi-client surveys, exceeded related capital investments by
€
29 million
in 2001 compared to
€
10 in 2000.
Exclusive contracts accounted for 57% of our marine seismic
sales in 2001, compared to 35% of such sales in 2000, reflecting
a stronger market for exclusive surveys, particularly in the
North Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
Processing & Reservoir SBU.
Operating revenues for our Processing
& Reservoir SBU decreased by 3% to
€
108 million
in 2001, compared to
€
111 million
in 2000. During 2001, our Processing & Reservoir SBU
was subject to adverse pricing pressures resulting from
continued high levels of processing capacity available to our
customers.
Products
Operating revenues for our Products segment
increased 25% to
€
321 million
in 2001 from
€
257 million
in 2000, notwithstanding the sale of our software division at
the end of 2000. The increase was due primarily to growth in
sales of onshore acquisition systems, including strong sales of
our 408 UL system. For Sercel only (equipment sales), total
revenues increased 32% from year to year, to
€
321 million
in 2001 from
€
244 million
in 2000, reflecting the continuing strength of the 408 UL
system. Excluding intra-group sales, revenues increased 23% to
€
291 million
in 2001 compared to
€
237 million
in 2000.
Operating Expenses
Cost of operations, including depreciation and
amortization, increased 11% to
€
642 million
in 2001 from
€
580 million
in 2000. As a percentage of operating revenues, cost of
operations decreased to 80% in 2001
32
Table of Contents
compared to 83% in 2000 due to improvements in
our cost and operational efficiency, principally with respect to
our Land SBU. Gross profit increased to
€
161 million
in 2001 from
€
115 million
in 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased 4% to
€
92 million
in 2001 from
€
88 million
in 2000. As a percentage of operating revenues, selling, general
and administrative costs decreased to 11% in 2001 compared to
13% in 2000, resulting from realization of the full effect of
our 1999 restructuring programs, notwithstanding an increase in
volume due to the integration of Mark Products and the Aker
vessels.
Research and development expenditures, net of
government grants, increased 30% to
€
35 million
in 2001, compared to
€
27 million
in 2000 and representing 4% of operating revenues in both
periods.
Other income amounted to
€
14 million
in 2001. This amount included gains of
€
8 million
related to the sale of our interest in one of our Gulf of Mexico
multi client surveys, and non-recurring gains of
€
5 million.
These gains came mostly from the sale of our radio positioning
businesses and net restructuring credits that were offset by
anticipated Land SBU contract losses in Argentina. In 2000,
other income also amounted to
€
14 million.
This amount included gains of
€
2 million
related to sales of fixed assets, and non-recurring gains of
€
15 million
related to partial sales of businesses, offset by non-recurring
expenses of
€
3 million
related to net restructuring credits.
Operating Income (Loss)
We generated operating income of
€
48 million
in 2001, compared to
€
14 million
in 2000. Our Services segment generated an operating loss of
€
1 million
in 2001, compared to an operating loss of
€
14 million
in 2000. Operating income for our Services segment was affected
by adverse weather conditions off the coast of Morocco during
the second quarter of 2001, which we estimate reduced operating
income by approximately
€
9 million.
Our Products segment generated operating income of
€
66 million,
a record level, in 2001 compared to
€
37 million
in 2000.
Financial Income and Expenses,
    Net
Net interest expense increased 44% to
€
23 million
in 2001 from
€
16 million
in 2000. This was due to an increase in average net debt
outstanding to
€
217 million
in 2001 compared to
€
154 million
in 2000, principally as a result of our issuance of
U.S.$170 million of 10 5/8% Senior Notes due 2007 in
November 2000. A February 2002 issuance of an additional
U.S.$55 million 10 5/8% Senior Notes due 2007, the
first interest payment for which will be due in May 2002, will
further increase our interest expense. Net debt totalled
€
229 at
December 31, 2001 compared to
€
204 million
at December 31, 2000.
Gross financial expenses were
€
27 million
compared to
€
19 million
in 2000, as a result of increased borrowings to finance
operations. Financial income, resulting primarily from overnight
deposits, was
€
4 million
compared to
€
3 million
in 2000.
Foreign exchange losses decreased to
€
1 million
in 2001 compared to
€
6 million
in 2000 primarily due to favorable hedges, particularly on
increased Product segment sales. In connection with hedging our
currency exposure, U.S. dollars are hedged by forward
sales, which can have either a favorable or unfavorable impact
due to the variation of expected future exchange rates for the
euro and the U.S. dollar.
Equity in Income of Investees
Income from investments accounted for under the
equity method was
€
9 million
in 2001 compared to
€
3 million
in 2000, due primarily to the improved financial performance of
Argas, our Saudi Arabian joint venture.
Income Taxes
Income taxes increased 55% to
€
17 million
in 2001 from
€
11 million
in 2000, principally due to our higher levels of activity during
the period, particularly in certain countries where our
operations are subject to taxation based on revenues or by means
of withholding. Additionally, increased income attributable to
our interest in Argas resulted in higher tax charges for the
parent company.

Table of Contents
Since we earn the majority of our taxable income
outside of France, foreign taxation significantly affects our
overall income tax expense. We are not subject to a worldwide
taxation system and the income tax paid in foreign countries,
mainly when based on revenues, does not generate comparable tax
credits in France, our principal place of business.
Net Income (Loss)
The year 2001 marked a return to profitability,
as our net income in 2001 was
€
16 million
compared to a net loss of
€
12 million
in 2000 after including minority interest income of
€
0.2 million
in 2001 relating to the entity that directly owns the
CGG
Mistral
and
€
4 million
in 2000, relating to CGG Marine.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal needs for capital are the funding
of ongoing operations, capital expenditures, investments in our
multi-client data library and acquisitions. We have financed our
capital needs with cash flow from operations, borrowings under
bank facilities and more recently, our offerings of senior
notes. We believe that net cash provided by operating
activities, the additional financial resources generated by our
offerings of senior notes and available borrowings under bank
facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for
the foreseeable future.
Operating Activities
For 2002, our net cash provided by operating
activities, before changes in working capital and the asset
write-down of
€
62 million
related to the
CGG Mistral
, was
€
161.2 million
compared to
€
153.3 million
for 2001. Changes in working capital in 2002, before insurance
indemnities booked approximately for the same amount of the
asset write down, had a positive impact on cash from operating
activities of
€
57.8 million
compared to a negative impact of
€
17.3 million
for 2001. This was principally attributable to important
payments from Offshore clients at year end and improved
management of our accounts receivable.
Net operating cash flow for 2002 was
€
219.0 million
compared to
€
136.0 million
for 2001.
For 2001, our net cash provided by operating
activities was
€
136 million,
compared to
€
25 million
for 2000, which was principally attributable to improvement in
our operating income and a decrease in our working capital needs
in 2001. Changes in working capital in 2001 had a negative
impact on cash from operating activities of
€
17 million
compared to a negative impact of
€
93 million
in 2000. Our working capital needs decreased largely due to
improved management of our accounts receivable.
Investing Activities
During 2002, we incurred capital expenditures of
€
130.6 million
(including
€
8.6 million
of equipment acquired under capital lease), related primarily to
the upgrading of the
CGG Mistral
, the investment in
Solid Seal technology for our
Amadeus
seismic vessel and
the acquisition of 408UL seismic data recording systems.
During 2002, we also invested
€
130.1 million
in our multi-client library, primarily in deepwater areas
offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. As of
December 31, 2002, the net book value of our land and
marine multi-client data library was
€
127.1 million
compared to
€
91.9 million
as of December 31, 2001.
Net cash used in investing activities was
€
249.9 million
after taking into account the acquisition of 7.51% stake in PGS,
the proceeds from the sale of our Paradigm stock and the
proceeds from the sale of our borehole seismic activity business.
At December 31, 2002, our commitments for
capital expenditures were in an amount of
€
6 million
and related primarily to geophysical equipment.
During 2001, we incurred capital expenditures of
€
42 million
related primarily to purchases of geophysical equipment, and
€
13 million
related to equipment obtained under capital lease financings
(non-cash transactions). During 2001, we invested
€
79 million
in our multi-client library, primarily in strategic deepwater
areas offshore from the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. At
December 31, 2001, the net book value of both our marine
and land multi-client library was
€
92 million.
34
Table of Contents
During 2000, we incurred capital expenditures of
€
33 million
related primarily to purchases of geophysical equipment, and
€
6 million
related to equipment obtained under capital lease financings
(non-cash transactions). In the same year, we invested
€
93 million
in our multi-client library, primarily in strategic deepwater
areas offshore from the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. During this
period, we expanded our multi-client library by over 20,000
square kilometers of 3D data. At December 31, 2000,
the net book value of both our marine and land multi-client
library was
€
76 million.
Financing
Activities
Net debt was
€
201.7 million
as of December 31, 2002, and
€
229.0 million
as of December 31, 2001. The ratio of net debt to equity
decreased to 46.1% at the end of December 2002 compared to 49.5%
at the end of December 2001.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2002 was
€
210 million
compared to
€
201 million
for 2001.
Net cash provided by financing activities for
2002 was
€
68.9 million,
resulting principally from the U.S.$55 million issuance of
senior notes in February 2002. We also borrowed a total of
U.S.$36.9 million from new bank facility in order to
finance streamers and equipment related to the upgrade the
CGG Mistral
. An amount of U.S.$20 million was repaid
in the first quarter of 2003 with the insurance proceeds after
the sinking of the vessel.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2001
was a negative
€
8 million,
principally reflecting the net repayment of draw-downs under our
U.S.$90 million syndicated credit facility, notwithstanding
the U.S.$25 million paid to Aker as part of the purchase
price of the two vessels acquired in January 2001.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2000
was
€
83.7 million,
primarily related to our first offering of senior notes
described above, which replaced part of our bank debt and
increased our available cash.
On February 5, 2002, we issued an additional
U.S.$55 million aggregate principal amount at par value of
105/8% Senior Notes due 2007 in the international capital
markets. With the net proceeds of approximately
U.S.$52.5 million, we repaid approximately
U.S.$22 million of outstanding indebtedness under our
existing syndicated credit facility, repaid approximately
U.S.$10 million in other long-term revolving debt and used
the balance for general corporate purposes.
On November 22, 2000, we issued
U.S.$170 million aggregate principal amount of 10 5/8%
Senior Notes due 2007 in the international capital markets. We
used the approximately $164.9 million of net proceeds to
repay a portion of outstanding indebtedness under our existing
syndicated credit facility and to fund the U.S.$25 million
cash portion of the purchase price of two marine seismic vessels
and certain seismic data from an affiliate of Aker.
On August 31, 2000, we signed an agreement
with our bank syndicate, including Royal Bank of Canada as a new
participant, to extend our main syndicated line of credit from
U.S.$130 million to U.S.$180 million. The additional
U.S.$50 million tranche C was entirely subscribed by
Royal Bank of Canada, and expired in November 2000 upon
repayment in full of Tranche C with a portion of the net
proceeds from our offering of senior notes in November 2000. We
accepted certain additions to the collateral to this line of
credit and consequently pledged in favor of the banks the shares
of Sercel Holding S.A. This pledge expired automatically on
September 30, 2001.
On September 15, 1999, we entered into a new
multi-currency U.S.$130 million syndicated credit facility with
a group of banks led by Société Générale and
Natexis Banques Populaires. The facility consolidated and
replaced approximately 80% of our existing bank lines at that
date and consists of a five-year U.S.$90 million tranche,
which began amortizing after September 15, 2002, and a
U.S.$40 million tranche due in two years (which we repaid).
The syndicated credit facility bears interest at a graduated
rate beginning with a spread of 175 basis points over
three-month LIBOR, PIBOR or EURIBOR until September 15,
2000 and averages 150 basis points over these rates for the life
of the loan thereafter. We agreed to limitations on our net debt
compared to equity, excluding goodwill, (1.3, 1.15 and 1.0 for
the periods ending June 30, 2000, June 30, 2001 and
June 30, 2004, respectively), to the maintenance of a net
debt to EBITDA ratio (3.0, 2.5 and 2.0 for the periods ending
35
Table of Contents
June 30, 2000, June 30, 2001 and
June 30, 2004, respectively), to a minimum net worth test
(minimum equity of
€
122 million,
€
137 million
and
€
160 million
for the periods ending June 30, 2000, June 30, 2001
and June 30, 2004, respectively) and to the completion of a
capital increase of not less than
€
46 million
by December 31, 1999 as part of the syndicated facility. In
addition, we granted the lenders under the syndicated facility a
lien on the accounts receivable of CGG and Sercel S.A. in an
amount up to the amount of any outstanding borrowings under
these facilities.
On September 28, 2000, our shareholders
approved the issuance of 352,237 new shares to Shaw Industries
at a price of
€
75
per share as consideration for the purchase of the Mark Products
division. The shares were issued on September 29, 2000. As
a result of this issuance, our shareholders' equity
increased by approximately
€
27 million.
On December 20, 2000, our shareholders
approved, at an extraordinary shareholders meeting, the issuance
of 413,969 new shares to LDA at a price of
€
69.3 per share
as consideration for the purchase of LDA's 40% interest in
our subsidiary CGG Marine, our acquisition of 50% of the capital
stock of the entity that will directly own the CGG Mistral and
the subsequent upgrade of the CGG Mistral from six to ten
streamers. The shares were issued on December 21, 2000. As
a result of the issuance, our shareholders' equity
increased by approximately
€
29 million.
On December 20, 2000, our shareholders
approved, at the same extraordinary general meeting of
shareholders, the issuance of 1,591,407 new shares to Aker at a
price of
€
69.3
per share as part of the consideration for our acquisition of
two marine vessels and certain seismic data from an affiliate of
Aker. The shares were issued upon the closing of the
transaction, which occurred on January 16, 2001. As result
of the issuance, our shareholders' equity increased by
approximately
€
110 million.

Research and development
Our ability to compete effectively and maintain a
significant market position in our industry depends to a
substantial extent upon our continued technological innovation.
We have focused on rationalizing our research and development
activities both to reduce costs and to focus our research and
development efforts primarily on reservoir characterization,
multi-component seabed seismic processing techniques, structural
imaging and advanced seismic recording equipment. Our research
and development teams, totaling approximately 200 employees, are
divided among operating division. We also access new sources of
information or technology by entering into strategic alliances
with equipment manufacturers, oil and gas companies,
universities, or other clients or by acquiring technology under
license from others. We have historically entered into and
continue to pursue common research programs with the
Institut
Français du Pétrole
, an agency of the French
government.
While the market for our products and services is
subject to continual and rapid technological changes,
development cycles from initial conception through introduction
can extend over several years.
Our efforts have resulted in the development of
numerous inventions, new processes and techniques, many of which
have been incorporated as improvements to our product lines.
During 2000, 2001 and 2002, our research
36
Table of Contents
and development expenditures were
€
30 million,
€
39 million,
and
€
30 million,
respectively, of which approximately 12%, 9% and 10%,
respectively, was funded by French governmental research
entities, such as the
Fonds de Soutien aux Hydrocarbures
(which funding is to be repaid to such organizations from sales
of products or services developed with such funds).
We have budgeted
€
28 million
for research and development expenditures in 2003, of which we
expect to receive approximately
€
3 million
from the
Fonds de Soutien aux Hydrocarbures
.
Trend Information
Euro
We operate in an essentially U.S.
dollar-denominated environment in which the introduction of the
euro has had limited consequences. On January 1, 1999, 11
member states of the European Union, including France, where we
have our headquarters, adopted fixed exchange rates between
their national currencies and the euro. On January 1, 2002,
the euro became the official currency of 12 European Union
countries. As a result, their national currencies (including the
French franc) ceased to exist during the year.
As part of our ongoing systems updates, we have
made the necessary modifications to our existing information,
financial and management control systems and software to permit
us to bill, invoice and report in euro. As of January 1,
2001 we adopted the euro as our reporting currency. The total
cost of addressing the euro issue has not been material to our
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Currency
Fluctuations
As a company that derives a substantial amount of
its revenue from sales internationally, we are subject to risks
relating to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In the year
ended December 31, 2002 and the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000 over 90% of our operating
revenues and approximately two-thirds of our operating expenses
were denominated in currencies other than the euro. These
included the U.S. dollar and, to a significantly lesser
extent, other non-euro Western European currencies, principally
the British pound and the Norwegian kroner. In addition, a
significant portion of our revenues that were invoiced in euros
related to contracts that were effectively priced in
U.S. dollars, as the U.S. dollar often serves as the
reference currency when bidding for contracts to provide
geophysical services.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the euro
against such other currencies, particularly the
U.S. dollar, have had in the past and can be expected in
future periods to have a significant effect upon our results of
operations. Since we participate in competitive bids for data
acquisition contracts that are denominated in U.S. dollars,
an appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro
improves our competitive position against that of other
companies whose costs and expenses are denominated in
U.S. dollars. For financial reporting purposes, such
appreciation positively affects our reported results of
operations since U.S. dollar-denominated earnings that are
converted to euros are stated at an increased value.
We attempt to match foreign currency revenues and
expenses in order to balance our net position of receivables and
payables denominated in foreign currencies. For example, charter
costs for our five vessels, as well as our most important
computer hardware leases, are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Nevertheless, during the past five years such dollar-denominated
expenses have not equaled dollar-denominated revenues
principally due to personnel costs payable in euros.
In order to improve the balance of our net
position of receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies, we maintain a portion of our financing in
U.S. dollars. At December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 our
total outstanding long-term debt denominated in
U.S. dollars amounted to
U.S.$273 (
€
260 million),
U.S.$181 million
(
€
203 million)
and U.S.$187 million
(
€
200 million),
respectively, which amounted to 85%, 74% and 81%, respectively,
of our total long-term debt outstanding at such dates.
In addition, to be protected against the
reduction in value of future foreign currency cash flows, we
follow a policy of selling U.S. dollars forward at average
contract maturity dates that we attempt to match with future net
U.S. dollar cash flows (revenues less costs in U.S.
dollars) expected from firm contract commitments, generally
37
Table of Contents
over the ensuing six months. A similar policy, to
a lesser extent, is carried out with respect to contracts
denominated in British pounds. As of December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, we had U.S.$133 million (the Euro
counter-value under the contract was
€
137 million,
U.S.$89 million (the Euro counter-value under the contract
was
€
101 million)
and U.S.$101 million (counter-value of
€
108 million),
respectively, of notional amounts outstanding under euro/ U.S.
dollar forward exchange contracts.
We do not enter into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts for trading purposes.
Inflation
Inflation has not had a material effect on our
results of operations during the periods presented. We operate
in, and receive payments in the currencies of, certain countries
with historically high levels of inflation, such as Mexico,
Brazil, Indonesia and Venezuela. We attempt to limit such risk
by, for example, indexing payments in the local currency
against, principally, the U.S. dollar exchange rate at a
certain date to account for inflation during the contract term.
Income
Taxes
We conduct the majority of our field activities
outside of France and pay taxes on income earned or deemed
profits in each foreign country pursuant to local tax rules and
regulations. We do not receive any credit in respect of French
taxes for income taxes paid by foreign branches and
subsidiaries. Net tax expenses in recent periods were
attributable to activities, principally in land acquisition,
carried on outside of France. We have significant tax loss
carryforwards that are available to offset future taxation on
income earned in certain OECD countries. We recognize tax assets
if a minimum history of profit for the past three years exists
and budget estimates also indicate a profit for the following
year.
Seasonality
Our land and marine seismic acquisition
activities are seasonal in nature. We generally experience
decreased revenues in the first quarter of each year due to the
effects of weather conditions in the Northern Hemisphere and to
the fact that our principal clients are generally not prepared
to fully commit their annual exploration budget to specific
projects during such period. We have historically experienced
higher levels of activity in our equipment manufacturing
operations in the fourth quarter as our clients seek to fully
deploy annual budgeted capital.
U.S. Accounting Standards
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. Additionally, SFAS No. 141 requires the
use of the purchase method of accounting for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS
No. 141 requires intangible assets to be recognized if they
arise from contractual or legal rights or are
"separable", i.e., it is feasible that they may
be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, exchanged or pledged. As
a result, it is likely that more intangible assets will be
recognized under SFAS No. 141 than under its
predecessor, Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 16, although in some instances previously
recognized intangibles are to be subsumed into goodwill.
SFAS No. 141 requires that upon adoption of SFAS
No. 142, that companies reclassify the carrying amounts of
certain intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria of
SFAS No. 141.
Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer
amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful
life, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis and
whenever indicators of impairment arise. The goodwill impairment
test, which is based on fair value, is performed on a reporting
unit level. A reporting unit is defined as a SFAS No. 131
operating segment or one level lower. Goodwill is no longer be
allocated to other long-lived assets for impairment testing,
under SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be disposed of.
Additionally, goodwill on equity method investments is no longer
amortized; however, it continues to be tested for impairment in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of
Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. Under SFAS
No. 142, intangible assets with indefinite lives are not
amortized; instead they are carried at the lower of cost or
market value and tested for impairment at least annually. All
other recognized intangible assets continue to be amortized over
their estimated useful lives.
38
Table of Contents
SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, although goodwill on
business combinations consummated after July 1, 2001 will
not be amortized. We adopted SFAS No. 141 and 142 on
January 1, 2002 and have not had to record any impairment.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 establishes a single
accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by a
sale consistent with the fundamental provisions of SFAS
No. 121. While it supersedes portions of APB Opinion 30,
Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions, it retains the discontinued operations
presentation, yet it broadens that presentation to include a
component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business).
However, discontinued operations are no longer recorded as net
realizable value and future operating losses are no longer
recognized before they occur. SFAS No. 144 also establishes
criteria for determining when an asset should be treated as held
for sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods
within those fiscal years, with an early application encouraged.
The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are generally to be applied
prospectively. We adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1,
2002 and have not had to record any impairment.
Item 6:     DIRECTORS,
SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES
Directors and Senior Management
Board of
Directors
Under French law, the Board of Directors
determines our business strategy and monitors business
implementation. Subject to the specific powers granted by the
ordinary general shareholders' meeting, the Board of
Directors deals with any issues relating to our affairs. In
particular, the Board of Directors prepares and presents the
year-end accounts to the ordinary general shareholders meeting.
Our Board of Directors consists of between six and fifteen
members elected by our shareholders. Each director must own at
least one director-qualifying share. Under French law, a
director may be an individual or a legal entity for which an
individual is appointed as permanent representative.
Our
statuts
(memorandum and articles of
association) provide that each director is elected for a
six-year term by the ordinary general shareholders'
meeting. There is no obligation for directors to be French
nationals. According to French corporate law, the number of
terms that a director may serve is limited to five.
Directors are required to comply with applicable
law and our
statuts
. Under French law, directors are
responsible for actions taken by them that are contrary to the
company's interests and may be held liable for such actions
both individually and jointly with the other directors.
The following table sets forth the names of our
current directors, their positions, the dates of their initial
appointment as directors (or, in the case of shareholder
representatives, the date from which the shareholder became
entitled to appoint a director) and the expiration dates of
their current term.

the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has full executive
authority to manage our affairs. The Board of Directors has the

, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, where
those functions are exercised by the same person, has full power

Chief Executive Officer determines and is responsible for the

2002, the Board of directors decided that Mr Brunck would assume
the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer until the
expiry of his term as a director, unless otherwise decided by
the Board. Our current

provide that the Board of
Directors may appoint up to five President and Chief Operating
Officers ("Directeurs Généraux

Compensation
The aggregate compensation of our executive
officers is determined by the Appointment-Remuneration Committee
of the Board of Directors in order to ensure the competitiveness
of our compensation compared to our international competitors.
The Appointment-Remuneration Committee refers to benchmarks
prepared by independent consultants at the request of the
general management. The aggregate compensation includes a fixed
element and a bonus. The amount of the bonus depends upon the
achievement of financial targets for items such as consolidated
net income, operating income and free cash flow of our various
activities and upon completion of certain individual qualitative
objectives. With this bonus, the aggregate compensation may
substantially vary from one year to another. The bonus due to
the general management for a given fiscal year is paid during
the first semester of the next fiscal year.
The aggregate compensation as a group of the
executive officers (including the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer) who were members of the Group Management Committee paid
in fiscal year 2002 was
€
2,581,761,
including the 2001 bonus. The aggregate compensation of
Mr. Brunck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 was
€
504,305 of which
30% represented his 2001 bonus. In addition, Mr. Brunck
received
€
23,611
in his capacity as a Director. Directors as a group received in
January 2003 aggregate compensation of
€
150,000 for
services provided in their capacity as such during the fiscal
42
Table of Contents
year ended December 31, 2002. No amounts
were set aside or accrued by us or our subsidiaries to provide
pension, retirement or similar benefits to the executive
officers or directors.
Board Practices
We employ our executive officers under standard
employment services agreements that have no fixed term.
Directors' service contracts do not provide for benefits
upon termination.
The Strategic Planning Committee, chaired by
Mr. Brunck, is in charge of studying our strategic plans
and our financial transactions projects.
The Audit Committee is chaired by
Mr. Marbach. The other members are Mr. Dunard,
Mr. Lesage and Mr. MacWilliams. It ensures that the
accounts are prepared using consistent and appropriate
accounting methods, examines the effectiveness of our internal
reporting and verifies the internal audit and the external
auditors' plan of review. This committee provides advice on
the appointment or renewal of our external auditors and reviews
any specific financial or accounting matter that appears to be
relevant or topical.
As part of its mission, the Audit Committee
reviews the most important audit assignments as well as those
whose conclusions are the basis for important decisions. The
Audit Committee reviews the way its recommendations have been
implemented.
Sessions of the Audit Committee are open to the
members of the Executive Committee, the external auditors (in
order to report on their audit reviews) and the Internal Audit
Vice-President (in order to review important assignments).
The Audit Committee customarily meets before each
Board meeting. During 2002, the Committee met five times. In the
course of such meetings, the Audit Committee reviewed the draft
2001 accounts, the semi-annual accounts and the updated
forecasts of the financial year, in each case before they were
presented to the Board. The Audit Committee informed the Board
of its opinion on such accounts and forecasts. As part of its
mission, the Audit Committee also met with our external auditors
who communicated to the Audit Committee the scope and results of
their work. The Audit Committee was consulted when we issued
U.S.$ 55 million aggregate principal amount of
10 5/8% Senior Notes in February 2002, which notes were
issued in addition to the outstanding Senior Notes issued in
November 2000. Finally, the Audit Committee reviewed our 2003
budget.
The Audit Committee also reviewed our internal
audit activities, which internal audit activities are based on a
program determined by our Executive Committee and presented to
the Audit Committee. This program is prepared as a function of
our operational and financial risks and on the basis of a
systematic review of the entities in each SBU every three years.
In addition, the Audit Committee regularly
examines our multi-clients surveys and, particularly, financing
rates in order to verify whether such rates comply with budget
forecasts and assess the fair value of such surveys recorded in
our balance sheet.
The Audit Committee has also been in charge of
the selection of a new statutory auditor, through a tender offer
process launched by us, in order to replace one of the two
current statutory auditors as a result of the contemplated
merger, in France, of Ernst & Young and Barbier
Frinault et Autres. The Audit Committee made a
recommendation to the Board of Directors, which in turn proposed
the election of the external auditors to our ordinary general
shareholders' meeting (to be held on May 15, 2003), as
required by French law.
Finally, the Audit Committee studied the
consequences for us (and for the Audit Committee itself) of the
Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
The Appointment-Remuneration Committee, chaired
by Mr. Semmens, proposes to the Board of Directors the
remuneration of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the
officers, as well as any stock option plans and employee
shareholding plans. This Committee also reviews proposals for
appointments of directors, members of the committees and any
Senior Executive Vice President.

Employees
As of December 31, 2002, we had
approximately 3,440 permanent employees worldwide, as well as
several thousand auxiliary field personnel on temporary
contracts. Approximately 2,418 of our employees are involved in
our Services segment and 1,022 in our Products segment. We have
never experienced a material work stoppage and consider our
relations with our employees to be good. We believe that our
highly educated and experienced staff constitutes one of our
most valuable assets. We permanently employ more than 2,500
technicians and persons holding engineering degrees and have
developed a significant in-house training program.
In accordance with French law for employees
employed under French contracts, we, and each of our French
subsidiaries have a
Comité d'Entreprise
(Employees' Representation Committee) consisting of
representatives elected by our employees. The Employees
Representation Committee reports regularly to employees,
represents employees in relations with management, is consulted
on significant matters relating to employee working conditions
and is regularly informed of economic developments.
Our total workforce has decreased from 3,490 at
December 31, 2001 to 3,440 at December 31, 2002
(before the effective transfer in February 2003 of 95 employees
as a consequence of the sale of our borehole seismic division to
Baker Hughes). Our total workforce at December 31, 2000 was
3,285. We are preparing for the future by intensifying on a
permanent basis our training program, thus putting the emphasis
on strengthening the technical and personal skills available to
us. In France, the regulations pertaining to reduced working
hours were implemented in their entirety in 2000.
Share Ownership
In accordance with French law, we are authorized
annually by our shareholders at the extraordinary general
meeting to issue ordinary shares for sale to our employees and
employees of our affiliates who elect to participate in our
Plan d'Epargne Entreprise Groupe
(Group Employee
Savings Plan) (the "Group Plan"). Our shareholders, at
the extraordinary general meeting held on May 15, 2002,
renewed our authorization to issue up to 500,000 ordinary shares
in sales to employees and affiliates who participate in the
Group Plan. We may offer ordinary shares pursuant to the Group
Plan at a price neither higher than the average market price for
the 20 business days preceding the date on which the Board of
Directors set the commencement date for the offering nor lower
than 80% of such average market price.
We intend to establish employee savings plans for
our other international subsidiaries on terms similar to the
Group Plan, subject to applicable local regulations, in order to
issue ordinary shares to employees of such subsidiaries,
particularly in North America and Europe.
Pursuant to resolutions adopted by our Board of
Directors on May 5, 1997, January 18, 2000,
March 14, 2001 and May 15, 2002, our Board of
Directors has granted options to certain of our employees,
executive officers and directors to subscribe for an aggregate
of 725,100 ordinary shares. This total has been adjusted
pursuant to French law and the terms of the options to total
738,310. Options with respect to 647,063 ordinary shares
remained outstanding at March 31, 2003. The following table

of the directors and executive officers holds, on an individual
basis, options giving right to acquire 1% or more of the
outstanding capital. At the extraordinary general
shareholders' meeting to be held on May 15, 2003, a
new stock option plan will be submitted to the approval of
shareholders whereby options to purchase up to 7% of our share
capital outstanding on the date of allocation may be granted in

of our employees and executive officers during the 38-month

As of March 31, 2003, the Directors and
    Officers held 21,352 ordinary shares. As of March 31,
    2003, through the employees' savings plan instituted in
    1997, group employees held 57,300 ordinary shares
    corresponding to 0.49% of the share capital.
Our
statuts
provide that, as from
May 22, 1997, each ordinary share that is fully paid and
has been held in registered form by the same shareholder for a
period of at least two consecutive years will entitle such
shareholder to two votes at meetings of shareholders. As of
March 31, 2003, The Beacon Group, IFP and Total Chimie held
respectively 1,777,071, 1,436,622 and 469,392 fully paid
ordinary shares in registered form for two consecutive years,
giving Beacon Group Energy, IFP and Total Chimie respectively,
20.55%, 10.57% and 6.9% of the voting power of the ordinary
shares as of such date. Substantially all ordinary shares held
by other
45
Table of Contents
shareholders are presently held in bearer form,
and, even if converted to registered form, would not be eligible
for double voting rights as of May 31, 2003. Therefore,
excluding any ordinary shares issuable in connection with stock
option plans or employee savings plans, Beacon Group Energy, IFP
and Total Chimie would, if they sold no ordinary shares in the
interim, hold in the aggregate approximately 38.02% of the
voting power of the ordinary shares outstanding as of
March 31, 2003.
Aker RGIF, the parent company of Aker Geo
Seismic, which acquired, through contribution in kind, in
January 2001, 1,591, 417 shares representing 13.6% of our
then outstanding capital, offered to the minority shareholders
of Aker Maritime the opportunity to have their shares bought
back by way of a distribution of CGG shares then held by Aker
Maritime and a payment in cash. As a result thereof, as of
January 2, 2002, Aker Maritime held less than 2% of our
voting rights. To the best of our knowledge, Aker Maritime is no
longer a shareholder in our company.
Total Chimie and ISIS executed a
shareholders' agreement dated January 31, 1995.
Pursuant to the shareholders' agreement, any sale to a
third party of either signatory's stake in CGG that would
reduce such signatory's holding to less than 10% of our
total outstanding share capital as of January 1995 is subject to
a right of first refusal by the other signatory. This right of
first refusal does not apply in the event such sale is made to
an affiliate of the selling signatory, provided that such
affiliate becomes a party to the shareholders' agreement.
The shareholders' agreement expired in July 2001.
On July 26, 2001, Technip, a French company,
launched an offer to acquire ISIS, a holder of 12.3% of our
outstanding common shares. As a result of the offer, Technip
acquired 99.05% of the share capital of ISIS. In connection with
this transaction, Technip, ISIS and Institut Français du
Pétrole ("IFP") entered into a memorandum of
understanding, dated July 21, 2001 (as amended), pursuant
to which ISIS agreed to hold our ordinary shares for one year
from October 2001. During the subsequent three-year period, ISIS
would either have the right to cause IFP to purchase our common
shares currently owned by ISIS or be obligated to sell those
common shares to IFP, in either case in exchange for Technip
common shares, subject to market prices.
In June 2002, Technip-Coflexip and Isis merged,
as a result of which our common shares owned by Isis were
transferred to Technip-Coflexip. Pursuant to the terms of the
memorandum of understanding between Technip-Coflexip and IFP,
dated July 21, 2001, described above, Technip-Coflexip
transferred its common shares of CGG to IFP on December 9,
2002.
Related Party Transactions

Memorandum and Articles of
Association
Our company is a
société
anonyme
, a form of limited liability company, established
under the laws of France, and we are registered with the Trade
Register of Evry, France under the
number 969 202 241. The following paragraphs set
forth information concerning our share capital and provide
related descriptions of
49
Table of Contents
certain provisions of our by-laws
(
statuts
), and applicable French law. This description is
only a summary and does not describe everything that our statuts
contain.
Object and
Purposes
Under Article 2 of our
statuts
, our
object is to develop and operate, in any form and under any
conditions whatsoever, any and all businesses relating to the
geophysical surveying of soil and subsoil in any and all
countries, on behalf of third parties or ourself. Moreover, we
may participate directly or indirectly in any business, firm or
company whose object would be likely to promote our object.
Finally, and generally, we may engage in any business,
industrial, mining, financial, personal or real property
operations relating directly or indirectly to the above object
without limitation or reserve.
Directors
For a further description of the Board of
Directors' powers under French law and our statuts, see
"Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and
Employees."
Directors'
Power to Vote on Agreements in Which They Are Materially
Interested
In accordance with our statuts, agreements
between us and a director are subject to prior authorization of
the Board of Directors, unless the agreements are concluded on
an arm's-length basis in the normal course of business. The
Chairman of the Board of Directors must, on receipt of such
authorization, then inform the statutory auditors (who prepare a
report on the agreement) and submit the agreement to approval by
a General Shareholders' Meeting. The shares of the director
in question are not counted toward the quorum or in the vote. If
the General Shareholders' Meeting refuses to approve the
agreement, third parties may still rely on it, but the director
may be held liable to us for any loss we incur under the
agreement.
Directors'
Power to Vote Compensation to Themselves
Under our
statuts
, the Shareholders'
Meeting may provide for the payment to the directors of an
annual fixed sum, the amount of which remains unchanged until
further decision. The Board of Directors allocates this amount
between its members in the manner it deems appropriate. Also,
under our
statuts
, the Board of Directors elects a
chairman, and the Board decides the amount of his compensation.
Under our
statuts
, the Board of Directors
may appoint one chief executive officer in charge of the day to
day management of the company. The Board of Directors determines
the chief executive officer's compensation.
Borrowing
Powers Exercisable by the Directors
Under our
statuts
, directors other than
legal entities are forbidden to take out loans from CGG in any
form whatsoever or to have CGG grant them an overdraft in
current account or otherwise. It is also forbidden to have CGG
stand as surety for them or back their commitments in respect of
third parties. This prohibition also applies to chief operating
officers and to permanent representatives of legal-entity
directors. It also applies to the spouses, lineal forebearers or
descendants of the persons referred to in this paragraph and
also to any trustee.
Under article L.225-43 of the French Commercial
Code, directors and executive officers may not borrow money or
obtain a guarantee from us. Any such loan or guarantee would be
void and may not be relied upon by third parties.
Retirement
of Directors Under an Age Limit Requirement
Under our
statuts
, the Chairman of the
Board's term of office ends, at the latest, after the
annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting following the date on
which he reaches the age of 65. However, the Board of Directors
may further extend the office of the Chairman, one or more times
for a total period not to exceed three years. In accordance with
article L.225-19 of the French Commercial Code, no more than
one-third of the members of the Board of Directors may be more
than 70 years old, unless the
statuts
of the company
provide otherwise. Our
statuts
do not contain any
provisions contrary to this limitation.
50
Table of Contents
Number
of Shares Required for a Director's Qualification
Under our
statuts
, throughout his term of
office, each director must own at least one share.
Share
Capital
We have only one class of capital stock which
consists of 11,680,718 fully paid shares having a nominal value
of
€
2 per share.
Our stated capital thus amounts to
€
23,361,436.
Pursuant to our
statuts
, fully paid shares may be held
either in registered or in bearer form at the option of the
shareholder. The
statuts
also allow us to avail ourselves
of a procedure known as
titres au porteur identifiables
by which we may request SICOVAM to disclose the name,
nationality, address and the number of shares held by the
holders of any of our securities which have, or may in the
future have, voting rights. See "— Form, Holding
and Transfer of Shares."
Dividend and
Liquidation Rights
We may only distribute dividends out of our
"distributable profits", plus any amounts held in our
reserve which the shareholders decide to make available for
distribution, other than those reserves which are specifically
required by law. "Distributable profits" consist of
our unconsolidated net profit in each fiscal year, as increased
or reduced by any profit or loss carried forward from prior
years, less any contributions to the reserve accounts pursuant
to law.
Under French law, before dividends may be paid
with respect to any fiscal year, we must contribute a minimum of
5% of our annual unconsolidated net income to a legal reserve
fund, until it reaches an amount equal to 10% of our stated
capital. The legal reserve is distributable only upon our
liquidation.
Our
statuts
provide that the general
shareholders' meeting, either on a recommendation from the
board of directors or on its own initiative, may allocate all or
part of our distributable profits, if any, to one or more
special or general reserves or to keep such profits as retained
earnings to be carried forward to the next fiscal year. Any
remaining distributable profits are distributed to shareholders
as dividends in proportion to their holdings. However, except in
the case of a decrease in share capital which aims to offset
losses, no distribution may be made to shareholders when the
shareholders' equity is or would become, as a result of the
distribution, less than the amount of the share capital
increased by amounts held in reserve accounts pursuant to law.
The methods of payment of dividends are determined by the annual
general meeting of shareholders or by the board of directors in
the absence of a decision by the shareholders. According to our
statuts
, the general meeting has the power to give each
shareholder the option of receiving all or part of its dividend
payment in either cash or shares.
If we have earned distributable profits since the
end of the preceding fiscal year, as shown on an interim income
statement certified by our auditors, the board of directors has
the authority, without the approval of shareholders, to
distribute interim dividends to the extent of such distributable
profits for the period covered by the interim income statement.
If a company which has shares listed on a regulated securities
exchange in France decides to distribute interim dividends,
French law requires that such interim dividends amount to at
least
€
0.76 per
share.
Under French law, dividends are normally
distributed to shareholders in proportion to their respective
holdings. Dividends are payable to all holders of shares, except
for treasury stock, issued and outstanding on the date of the
shareholders' meeting approving the distribution of
dividends or, in the case of interim dividends, on the date of
the board of directors' meeting approving the distribution
of interim dividends. We must make annual dividend payments
within nine months of the end of our fiscal year, unless
otherwise authorized by a court order. Any sale of shares
executed on the monthly settlement market during the month of a
dividend payment is deemed to occur after payment of the
dividend and the purchaser's account will be credited with
an amount equal to the dividend paid and the seller's
account will be debited in the same amount. Dividends not
claimed within five years of the date of payment revert to the
French State.
In the event that we are liquidated, our assets
remaining after payment of all debts and liabilities,
liquidation expenses and all remaining obligations will be
distributed first to repay in full the nominal value of the
shares and the surplus, if any, will be distributed to the
shareholders in proportion to the nominal value of their
shareholdings.

Table of Contents
Changes in
Share Capital
We may increase our share capital either:
•
by issuing additional shares or securities giving
    access, immediately or in the future, to a portion of our share
    capital, or
•
by increasing the nominal value of our existing
    shares.
We may issue additional shares:
•
for cash,
•
for assets contributed in kind,
•
upon the conversion of debt securities or other
    debt instruments previously issued,
•
by the capitalization of reserves, retained
    earnings or issuance premiums, or
•
for cash credits payable by the Company.
We may increase our share capital only with the
approval of the shareholders at an extraordinary general
meeting, following a recommendation of the board of directors.
When a capital increase takes place through capitalization of
reserves, retained earnings or issuance premiums, however, the
general meeting at which the decision to increase the capital is
taken follows the quorum and majority requirements of ordinary
general meetings. Increases effected by an increase in the
nominal value of shares require unanimous approval of the
shareholders, unless effected by capitalization of reserves,
retained earnings or issuance premiums. See
"— Attendance and Voting at Shareholders'
Meetings."
The shareholders may delegate the right to carry
out any increase in share capital to the board of directors,
provided that the increase has been previously authorized by the
shareholders. The board of directors may further delegate this
right to our Chairman.
At a meeting to be held on May 15, 2003 our
shareholders will be requested to authorize the board of
directors to increase our share capital, through one or more
issuances of securities, up to an aggregate nominal amount of
€
23,000,000. This
authorization is effective for a period of 26 months. Our
shareholders will have preferential rights to subscribe for such
securities. At the same meeting, our shareholders decided to
withdraw the shareholders' preferential subscription rights
in respect of a second authorization to increase our share
capital, through one or more issuances of securities, up to an
aggregate nominal amount of
€
23,000,000. This
second authorization is also effective for a period of
26 months. Capital increases made pursuant to both
authorizations may not exceed an aggregate nominal amount of
€
23,000,000.
An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders
also has the power to authorize and implement a reduction in
share capital which may be effected either:
•
by decreasing the nominal value of our
    outstanding shares, or
•
by reducing the number of our outstanding shares.
The number of outstanding shares may be reduced
either by an exchange of shares or by the repurchase and
cancellation of shares.
According to French company law, any decrease in
our share capital requires approval by the shareholders entitled
to vote at an extraordinary general meeting. In the case of a
capital reduction, other than a reduction to absorb losses and a
reduction pursuant to a program of acquisition of shares, all
holders of shares must be offered the possibility to participate
in such a reduction. See "— Acquisition of our
own Shares". All holders of shares in a given class of
shares must be treated equally unless each affected shareholder
agrees otherwise. Our creditors may oppose a capital reduction
during the 20-day period following the registration with the
Registry of Commerce of the minutes of the shareholders'
meeting approving the capital reduction. Upon a creditor's
request, the
Tribunal de Commerce
may order us to
reimburse our creditors or guarantee our debt. All holders of
shares in a given class of shares must be treated equally unless
each affected shareholder agrees otherwise.
52
Table of Contents
Preferential
Rights to Subscribe
According to French law, our current shareholders
have preferential rights on a pro rata basis to subscribe
(
droit préferentiel de souscription
) for any issue
of additional shares to be subscribed in cash or by set-off of
cash debts and to subscribe to any issue of other securities
which may either directly or indirectly result in, or carry
rights to subscribe for, additional shares issued by us. An
extraordinary shareholders' meeting may decide to withdraw
the shareholders' preferential right to subscribe, either
in respect of any specific issue of securities, or more
generally, with respect to an authorization by the extraordinary
general meeting, to issue shares or other equity securities, for
a duration not to exceed twenty-six months. Shareholders may
also individually waive their preferential right to subscribe in
respect of any offering. French law requires that the board of
directors and our independent auditors present reports that
specifically address any proposal to waive preferential
subscription rights. In the event of a waiver, the issue of
securities must be completed within the period prescribed by
law. Preferential rights to subscribe, if not previously waived,
are tradable during the subscription period relating to a
particular offering of shares and may be quoted on Euronext
Paris. In the event that the preferential rights of shareholders
are withdrawn, the shareholders' meeting has the power to
grant, or to authorize the board of directors to grant, existing
shareholders a non-transferable priority right (
délai de
priorité
) to subscribe for new shares issued during a
limited period.
Attendance
and Voting at Shareholders' Meetings
General
In accordance with French law, general
shareholders' meetings may be ordinary or extraordinary.
Ordinary general meetings of shareholders are required for
matters such as:
•
the election, replacement and removal of
    directors,
•
the appointment of statutory auditors,
•
the approval of annual accounts,
•
the declaration of dividends or the authorization
    for dividends to be paid in shares, and
•
the issuance of debt securities.
Our board of directors must convene an ordinary
general shareholders' meeting each year to approve the
annual accounts.
Extraordinary general meetings of shareholders
are required for approval of all matters and decisions involving:
•
changes in our
statuts
(including changing
    our corporate purposes),

•
extending or abridging the duration of the
    company,

authorization of the issuance of investment
    certificates (
certificats d'investissement
) or notes
    convertible or exchangeable into shares,
•
transformation of our company into another legal
    form, and
•
voluntary liquidation of our company before the
    end of its statutory term.
Annual
Ordinary Meetings
Our board of directors must convene the annual
ordinary general meeting of shareholders for approval of the
annual accounts. This meeting must be held within six months of
the end of our fiscal year, unless such time is
53
Table of Contents
extended by an order of the President of the
Tribunal de Commerce
pursuant to a request. Other
ordinary or extraordinary meetings may be called at any time
during the year. Meetings of shareholders may be convened by the
board of directors or, in the circumstances prescribed by law,
if the board of directors fails to call such a meeting, by our
statutory auditors or by an administrator appointed by the
President of the
Tribunal de Commerce
. Any of the
following may request the President of the
Tribunal de
Commerce
to appoint an administrator:
•
one or several shareholders holding in the
    aggregate at least 5% of our share capital,
•
any interested parties in cases of emergency, or
•
the workers' committee in case of emergency,
    or
•
an association of holders of shares who have held
    the shares in registered form held for at least two years and
    holding, in the aggregate, a certain percentage of our voting
    rights (1% to 5% determined on the basis of a statutory formula
    relating to capitalization).
Notice
of Shareholders' Meetings
The notice calling a general meeting must state
the matters to be discussed at the meeting and, with the sole
exception of removal and replacement of directors (which may be
discussed at any meeting), any matter which does not appear on
the agenda may not be discussed at the meeting.
French law requires that a preliminary notice
(
avis de réunion
) of a general meeting of a listed
company be published in the
Bulletin des Annonces
Légales Obligatoires
(«BALO») at least
30 days before the date set for the meeting. The
preliminary notice must first be sent to the
Commission des
operations de bourse
(the «COB») with an
indication of the date of its publication in the BALO. Within
10 days of publication, additional resolutions to be
submitted for approval by the shareholders at the meeting may be
proposed to the board of directors by:
•
one or more shareholders holding, in the
    aggregate, a certain percentage of our share capital (0.5% to 5%
    determined on the basis of a statutory formula relating to
    capitalization), or
•
a duly authorized association of shareholders who
    have held their shares in registered form for at least two years
    and holding, in the aggregate, a certain percentage of our
    voting rights (1% to 5% determined on the basis of a statutory
    formula relating to capitalization)
The board of directors must submit these
resolutions to a vote of the shareholders.
At least 15 days before the date set for any
general meeting on first call, and at least six days before any
second call, we must send a notice (
avis de convocation
)
by mail to all holders of registered shares who have held such
shares for more than one month prior to the date of the notice.
Notice of the meeting must also be given by publication in a
journal authorized to publish legal announcements in the local
administrative department (
département
) in which we
are registered as well as in the BALO, with prior notice having
been given to the COB. Such a notice must include a description
of the type, agenda, place, date and time of the meeting.
Attendance
and Voting at Shareholders' Meetings
Attendance and exercise of voting rights at both
ordinary and extraordinary general meetings of shareholders are
subject to certain conditions. A shareholder does not need to
have a minimum number of shares in order to be able to attend or
be represented at an extraordinary general meeting. Any
statutory provision to the contrary is null and void. In order
to participate in any general meeting, a holder of registered
shares must have its shares registered in his name or in the
name of the accredited financial intermediary referred to in
article L. 228-1 of the French Commercial Code in a shareholder
account maintained by us or on our behalf at least five days
prior to the meeting. Similarly, a holder of bearer shares must
obtain from the accredited financial intermediary
(
intermédiaire financier habilité
) with whom
such holder has deposited its shares a certificate indicating
the number of bearer shares the holder owns and stating that
these shares are blocked in the account held by the intermediary
in the holder's name until the date of the meeting
(
certificat d'immobilisation
). This certificate must
be deposited at the place specified in the notice of the meeting
at least five days before the meeting convenes.
54
Table of Contents
Proxies
and Votes by Mail
Subject to the foregoing, all shareholders have
the right to participate in general meetings, either in person,
by a proxy or by mail and, subject only to any applicable laws,
may vote according to the number of shares they hold. Proxies
may be granted by a shareholder to:
•
his or her spouse,
•
another shareholder, or
•
in the case of a corporation, to a legal
    representative.
Alternatively, the shareholder may send us a
proxy in blank without nominating any representative.
In the last case, the chairman of the
shareholders' meeting will vote the shares with respect to
which such blank proxy has been given in favor of all
resolutions proposed by the board of directors and against all
others. We will send proxy forms to any shareholder on request.
In order to be counted, we must receive proxy forms at our
registered office or at such other address indicated in the
notice convening the meeting prior to the date of the relevant
general meeting. With respect to voting by mail, we must send
our shareholders a form of such vote and we must receive the
form at least three days prior to the date of the relevant
general meeting. In addition, any shareholder acting as a proxy
for any other shareholder will have no restrictions other than
certain limits imposed by a company's
statuts
on the
maximum number of votes which a single person may exercise
whether in his personal capacity or as representative of
another. Our
statuts
do not include any such limitation
and, accordingly, each person properly present at a general
meeting may exercise as many votes as such person's shares
represent.
Quorum
Under French law, a quorum requires the presence
in person or voting by mail or by proxy of shareholders
representing, in the aggregate, not less than:
•
25% of the shares entitled to vote (in the case
    of an ordinary general meeting or an extraordinary general
    meeting deciding upon any capital increase by capitalization of
    reserves, retained earnings or share premium), or
•
33.33% of the shares entitled to vote (in the
    case of any other extraordinary general meeting).
If a quorum is not present at any meeting, the
meeting is adjourned. There is no quorum requirement when an
ordinary general meeting is reconvened but only questions which
were on the agenda of the adjourned meeting may be discussed and
voted upon. When an extraordinary general meeting is reconvened,
the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders having not
less than 25% of the shares entitled to vote is required for a
quorum except when an increase in our share capital is proposed
through incorporation of reserves, retained earnings or share
premium, in which case the applicable quorum requirements are
those applicable to ordinary general meetings. If such a quorum
is not present, the reconvened meeting may be adjourned for a
maximum of two months, but no deliberations may take place
without a quorum.
Any shareholder may also, if the Board of
Directors or its Chairman allows at the time of the convocation
to a general meeting, attend the meeting via video-conference or
by means of electronic telecommunication or tele-transmission
subject to, and in accordance with, the conditions laid down by
the legislation or the regulations then in force. This
shareholder is then considered to be present at the meeting when
calculating the quorum and the majority.
Majority
At an ordinary general meeting or an
extraordinary general meeting deciding upon any capital increase
by capitalization of reserves, retained earnings or share
premium, a majority of votes cast by the shareholders present or
represented at such meeting is required to pass a resolution. At
any other extraordinary general meeting, a two-thirds majority
of votes cast is required to pass a resolution. A unanimous
vote, however, is required to increase the liabilities of
shareholders. Abstention from voting by those present or
represented by proxy or voting by mail is viewed as a vote
against the resolutions submitted to a vote.
55
Table of Contents
Our
statuts
provide that, as from
May 22, 1997, each share that is fully paid and has been
held in registered form by the same shareholder for a period of
at least two consecutive years will entitle such shareholder to
two votes. In the event of capital increases effected by a free
attribution of shares, as a result of the incorporation of
reserves, retained earnings or issuance premiums, the shares
attributed by reason of and proportionately to the ownership of
shares holding double voting rights are immediately granted
double voting rights as if they themselves had fulfilled the
requirements therefor. Under French company law, shares held by
entities controlled directly or indirectly by us are not
entitled to voting rights and do not count for quorum or
majority purposes.
Acquisition
of our own Shares
Under French law, our company may not issue
shares to itself. However, we may, either directly or through a
financial intermediary acting on our behalf, purchase our shares
for one of three purposes:
(1)
to reduce our share capital, canceling the shares
    we purchase, with our shareholders' approval at an
    extraordinary general meeting,
(2)
to provide shares to our employees under a profit
    sharing plan or stock option plan, or
(3)
to acquire up to 10% of our share capital. To
    acquire shares for this purpose, we must first file a
note
    d'information
that has received the approval
    (
visa
) of the COB and obtain our shareholders'
    approval at an ordinary general meeting.
In the case of shares we repurchase under
(3) above, we have one of three options. We may:
•
retain the shares as treasury shares, pending one
    of the following two other options,
•
sell or transfer them, including to our employees
    under a profit-sharing plan or stock option plan, or
•
cancel the shares, with our shareholders'
    approval at an extraordinary general meeting.
We may not repurchase under either (2) or
(3) above an amount of shares that would result in our
company holding, directly or through a person acting on our
behalf, more than 10% of our outstanding share capital, without
canceling the said 10% first. In addition, we may not cancel
more than 10% of our outstanding share capital over any 24-month
period.
We must hold any shares we repurchase in
registered form. These shares also must be fully paid up. Shares
repurchased by us are deemed outstanding under French law but
are not entitled to dividends or voting rights. The
shareholders, at an extraordinary general meeting, may decide
not to take such shares into account in determining the
preferential rights to subscribe attached to the other shares
(if such a decision is not taken, these rights must be either
sold on the market before the end of the subscription period or
distributed to the other shareholders on a pro rata basis.)
A direct subsidiary is generally prohibited by
French law from holding shares in its parent and, in the event
it becomes a holder of shares, such subsidiary must transfer
such shares within one year following the date on which it
becomes the holder thereof. An indirect subsidiary may only
acquire shares if such subsidiary demonstrates a business
purpose for holding the shares.
At the shareholders' meeting to be held on
May 15, 2003, we will request our shareholders to renew the
existing authorization for the 18 months following the date
of such meeting to acquire up to 10 percent of our share
capital through purchases of shares and to resell shares so
acquired. As required by
Règlement
n
o
98-02
of the COB, prior to requesting

Trading in
Our Own Shares
Under
Règlement
n
o
90-04
of the COB, as amended by
Règlement n
o
98-03
, we may not trade
in our own shares for the purpose of manipulating the market.
Trades by a company in its own shares are deemed valid when the
following conditions are met:
•
trades must be executed on our behalf by only one
    intermediary in each trading session, except during the issue
    period of any securities if the trades are made to ensure the
    success of the issuance,
•
any block trades may not be made at a price above
    the current market price,
•
each trade must be made at a price that falls
    between the lowest and the highest trading price of the trading
    session during which the trade is executed,
•
the trade must not influence the determination of
    the quoted price before the opening of trading, at the first
    trade of the shares, at the reopening of trading following a
    suspension, or, as applicable, in the last half-hour of any
    trading session or at the fixing of the closing price,
•
the trade must not be carried out in order to
    influence the price of a derivative instrument relating to our
    shares, and
•
the trade must not account for more than 25% of
    the average total daily trading volume on Euronext Paris in the
    shares during the five trading days immediately preceding the
    trade.
However, there are two periods during which we
are not permitted to trade in our own securities: the 15-day
period before the date on which we make our consolidated or
annual accounts public, and the period beginning on the date at
which we become aware of information that, if disclosed, would
have a significant impact on the market price of our securities
and ending on the date this information is made public.
After making the initial purchase of our own
shares, we must file monthly reports with the COB and the CMF
that contain specified information about subsequent
transactions. The CMF makes this information publicly available.
Form, Holding
and Transfer of Shares
Form of Shares.
Our
statuts
provides that our fully paid shares may be held
in either registered or bearer form at the option of the
shareholder. We may avail ourselves of the procedure known as
titres au porteur identifiables
, according to which we
are entitled to request Euroclear France to disclose the name,
nationality, address and the number of shares held by holders of
those securities of ours which have, or which may in the future
acquire, voting rights.
Holding of Shares.
In accordance with French law
concerning dematerialization of securities, the ownership rights
of holders of shares are represented not by share certificates
but rather by book entries. According to our
statuts
,
registered shares are entered into an account held by us or by a
representative nominated by us, while shares in bearer form are
placed in an account held by an accredited financial
intermediary (
intermédiaire financier habilité
).
We maintain a share account with Euroclear France
in respect of all shares in registered form, which, in France,
is administered by BNP Paribas Securities Services, acting on
our behalf as our agent. Shares held in registered form are
inscribed in the name of each shareholder (either directly, or,
at the shareholder's request, through such
shareholder's accredited financial intermediary) in
separate accounts maintained by BNP Paribas Securities Services
on our behalf. Each shareholder account shows the name of the
holder and the number of shares held and, in the case of shares
inscribed through an accredited financial intermediary, shows
that they are so held. BNP Paribas Securities Services, as a
matter of course, issues confirmations to each registered
shareholder as to holdings of shares inscribed in the
shareholder's accounts, but these confirmations do not
constitute documents of title.
Shares held in bearer form are held and inscribed
on the shareholder's behalf in an account maintained by an
accredited financial intermediary with Euroclear France
separately from our share account with Euroclear France.
57
Table of Contents
Each accredited financial intermediary maintains
a record of shares held through it and will issue certificates
of inscription in respect thereof. Shares held in bearer form
may only be transferred effected through accredited financial
intermediaries and Euroclear France. As noted above, our
statuts
allow us to request from Euroclear France details
concerning the identity of the holders of shares in bearer form
at any time.
Transfer of Shares.
Our
statuts
do not contain any
restrictions relating to the transfer of shares. An owner of
shares resident outside France may trade such shares on Euronext
Paris. Should such owner (or the broker or other agent) require
assistance in this connection, an accredited financial
intermediary should be contacted.
Prior to any transfer of shares held in
registered form on Euronext Paris, such shares must be converted
into bearer form and, accordingly, must be registered in an
account maintained by an accredited financial intermediary. A
shareholder may initiate a transfer by giving instructions
(through an agent if appropriate) to the relevant accredited
financial intermediary. For dealing on Euronext Paris an
impôt sur les opérations de bourse
, or a tax
assessed on the price at which the securities were traded, is
payable at a rate of 0.3% on the portion of the transaction up
to
€
153,000 and
at a rate of 0.15% on the portion of the transaction over
€
153,000. Such
stock exchange stamp duty is subject to rebate of
€
23 per
transaction and a maximum assessment of
€
610 per
transaction. However, non-residents of France are not required
to pay this tax. In addition, a fee or commission is payable to
the French broker involved in the transaction regardless of
whether the transaction occurs within or outside France. No
registration duty would normally be payable in France on the
transfer of our shares unless a transfer instrument has been
executed in France. See « — Taxation on Sale
or Disposal of Shares or ADSs ».
Requirements
for Holdings Exceeding Certain Percentages
The French company law provides that any
individual or entity, who acting alone or in concert with
others, acquires more than 5%, 10%, 20%, 33%, 50%, or 66% of our
outstanding shares or voting rights thereof or whose
shareholding falls below any such percentage must notify us
within 15 calendar days of the date such threshold was crossed
of the number of shares it holds and of the voting rights
attached thereto. Such individual or entity must also notify the
Conseil des Marchés Financiers
(« CMF »), the self-regulatory organization
that has general regulatory authority over the French regulated
exchanges and whose members include representatives of French
stockbrokers, within five trading days of the date such
threshold was crossed.
In order to permit holders of our shares to give
the notice required by law, we must publish in the BALO, not
later than 15 calendar days after our annual ordinary general
meeting of shareholders, information with respect to the total
number of voting rights available as of the date of such
meeting. In addition, if we are aware of a change in the number
of available votes by at least 5% in the period between two
annual ordinary general meetings, we must publish in the BALO,
within 15 calendar days of such change, the number of voting
rights then available and provide the CMF with a written notice.
The CMF publishes in a weekly notice (
avis
) the
total number of voting rights so notified by all listed
companies, mentioning the date each such number was last updated.
If any person fails to comply with the legal
notification requirement, the shares or voting rights in excess
of the relevant threshold will be deprived of voting rights for
all shareholders' meeting until the end of a two-year
period following the date on which the owner thereof complies
with the notification requirements. In addition, any shareholder
who fails to comply with the above requirements may have all or
part of its voting rights (and not only with respect to the
shares in excess of the relevant threshold) suspended for up to
five years by the
Tribunal de Commerce
at the request of
our chairman, any shareholder or the COB, and may be subject to
criminal penalties.
French law imposes additional reporting
requirements on persons who acquire more than 10% or 20% of our
outstanding shares or voting rights. These persons must file a
report with us, the COB and the CMF within 15 days of the
date they cross the threshold. In the report, the acquiror must
specify its intentions for the following 12-month period,
including whether or not it intends to continue its purchases,
to acquire control of our company or to seek nomination to our
board of directors. The CMF makes the notice public. The
acquiror must also publish a press release stating its
intentions in a financial newspaper of national circulation in
France. The acquiror may only amend its stated intentions in
case of significant changes in its own situation or
shareholders, or in our situation. Upon any change of intention,
it must file a new report. Failure to comply with the
notification
58
Table of Contents
requirements or to abide by the stated intentions
may result in the acquiror being deprived of all or part of its
voting rights, for a period of up to five years, at our request
or that of the COB or one of our shareholders.
Our
statuts
provide that any shareholder
who directly or indirectly acquires ownership or control of
shares representing 2% or any multiple thereof of our share
capital or voting rights, or whose shareholding falls below any
such limit, must inform us within 15 days of the crossing
of the relevant threshold, of the number of shares then owned by
such shareholder. Failure to comply with these notification
requirements may result, at the request, recorded in the minutes
of the general meeting, of one or several shareholders holding
at least 2% of the capital, in the shares in excess of the
relevant threshold being deprived of voting rights for all
shareholder meetings until the end of a two-year period
following the date on which the owner thereof has complied with
such notification requirements.
Compulsory Tender.
CMF regulations (
Règlement
Général du Conseil des Marchés Financiers
)
provide that a shareholder, or shareholders acting in concert,
who come to own more than one-third of the voting rights or
share capital of a French company listed on a regulated
securities exchange in France must immediately notify the CMF,
and submit a compulsory tender for all the shares of capital and
all securities giving access to the share capital or voting
rights of such company. The tender must be submitted on terms
acceptable to the CMF. The acquisition of control of a private
company, the principal asset of which is a one-third or more
interest in a company listed on a regulated market in France, is
treated as a direct acquisition of such interest.
In addition, the same obligation applies to any
shareholder or shareholders acting in concert who, owning
between one-third and 50% of the voting rights or share capital
of a French company listed on a regulated market in France,
increase their interest by more than 2% of the existing total
number of shares or voting rights during a period of twelve
months.
The CMF is vested with the power to grant relief
from the obligation to tender for all of the shares of the
target company and may consider certain exemptions when
petitioned for such relief by the acquiring shareholders. These
exemptions primarily concern previous control of the target
company or a commitment to divest within a given period.
Material Contracts
The following contracts (not being contracts
entered into in the ordinary course of business) have been
entered into by us or our subsidiaries within the two years
immediately preceding the date of this document and are, or may
be, material:
Purchase Agreement dated February 5,
    2002 among us, RBC Dominion Securities Corporation and Salomon
    Smith Barney Inc.
In accordance with this agreement, we sold
U.S.$55,000,000 of our 10 5/8% Senior Notes due 2007 to the
initial purchasers for resale pursuant to Rule 144A and
Regulation S under the Securities Act.
Exchange Controls
Ownership of ADSs or shares by Non-French
    Persons
Under French law, there is no limitation on the
right of non-resident or foreign shareholders to own or to vote
securities of a French company.
According to the law dated February 14,
1996, administrative authorization is no longer required prior
to acquiring a controlling interest in a French company. However
a notice (
déclaration administrative
) must be filed
with the French Ministry of the Economy for the acquisition of
an interest in us by any person not residing in France or any
group of non-French residents acting in concert or by any
foreign controlled resident if such acquisition would result in
(i) the acquisition of a controlling interest in us or
(ii) the increase of a controlling interest in us unless
such person not residing in France or group of non-French
residents already controls more than two-thirds of our share
capital or voting rights prior to such increase. Under existing
administrative rulings, ownership of 20% or more of a French
listed company's share capital or voting rights is regarded
as a controlling
59
Table of Contents
interest, but a lower percentage might be held to
be a controlling interest in certain circumstances (depending
upon such factors as the acquiring party's intentions, the
ability of the acquiring party to elect directors or financial
reliance by the company concerned on the acquiring party).
Exchange
Controls
Under current French exchange control
regulations, there are no limitations on the amount of payments
that may be remitted by us to non-residents. Laws and
regulations concerning foreign exchange control do require,
however, that all payments or transfers of funds (including
payments of dividends to foreign shareholders) made by a French
resident to a non-resident be handled by an accredited
intermediary. In France, all registered banks and substantially
all credit establishments are accredited intermediaries.
Taxation
French
Taxation
The following is a general summary of the
principal French tax consequences of owning and disposing of
ADSs relevant to U.S. Holders (as defined below) which do not
hold the ADSs or underlying shares in connection with a trade or
business conducted in France. The statements relating to French
tax laws set out below are based on the laws in force as at the
date hereof, and are subject to any changes in applicable French
tax laws or in any applicable double taxation conventions or
treaties with France occurring after such date.
This discussion is intended only as a descriptive
summary and does not purport to be a complete analysis or list
of all potential tax effects of the purchase or ownership of
ADSs.
Taxation on
Sale or Disposal of ADSs
Subject to the provisions of any relevant double
tax treaty, persons who are not French residents for the purpose
of French taxation (as well as, under certain conditions,
foreign states, international organizations and certain foreign
public bodies) and who have held not more than 25%, directly or
indirectly, of the dividend rights (
bénéfices
sociaux
) of our company at any time during the preceding
five years, are not generally subject to any French income tax
or capital gains tax on any sale or disposal of ADSs.
If a transfer of listed shares is evidenced by a
written agreement, such share transfer agreement is, in
principle, subject to registration formalities and therefore to
a 1% registration duty assessed on the higher of the purchase
price or the market value of the shares (subject to a maximum
assessment of
€
3,049 per
transfer), provided that, under certain circumstances, no duty
is due if such written share transfer agreement is executed
outside France.
Taxation of
Dividends
Under French law, dividends are paid out of
after-tax income. French residents are entitled to a tax credit,
known as the
avoir fiscal
, equal to one-half of the
dividend paid where the beneficiary shareholder is an
individual. Where the beneficiary shareholder is not an
individual, the
avoir fiscal
is generally equal to 10% of
the dividend paid for the
avoir fiscal
used or refunded
in 2003. However, except in limited circumstances, if a
distribution is subject to a tax known as the
précompte
, shareholders entitled to the
avoir
fiscal
at the rate of 10% are generally entitled to an
additional amount of
avoir fiscal
equal to 80%,
respectively, of any
précompte
actually paid in cash
by our company upon distribution of dividends paid out of
certain profits (see below paragraph relating to the
précompte
). Dividends paid to non-residents are
normally subject to a 25% withholding tax and, under French law,
non-residents are not eligible for the benefit of the
avoir
fiscal
. As discussed below, this amount is reduced to 15%
or, as the case may be, 5% under the income and capital tax
treaty between the United States and France currently in force
(the "Treaty").
Amounts distributed as dividends by French
companies out of profits which have not been taxed at the
ordinary corporate income tax rate or which have been earned and
taxed more than five years before the distribution are subject
to a tax known as the
précompte
, by such companies.
The
précompte
is paid by the distributing company to
the French tax authorities and is generally equal to one-half of
the net dividend
60
Table of Contents
distributed, before withholding tax. When a tax
treaty in force does not provide for a refund of the
avoir
fiscal
or when the non-resident investor is not entitled to
such refund but is otherwise entitled to the benefits of a tax
treaty, such investor may obtain from the French tax authorities
a refund of such
précompte
actually paid in cash by
our company, if any (net of applicable withholding tax).
U.S.
Taxation
The following is a summary of the material U.S.
federal income tax and French tax consequences of the
acquisition, ownership and disposition of ADSs by a U.S. Holder
(as defined below). This summary deals only with purchasers of
ADSs that are U.S. Holders that will hold the ADSs as capital
assets. The discussion does not cover all aspects of U.S.
federal income taxation that may be relevant to, or the actual
tax effect that any of the matters described herein will have
on, the acquisition, ownership or disposition of ADSs by
particular investors, and does not address state, local, foreign
or other tax laws. In particular, this summary does not address
tax considerations applicable to investors that own (directly or
indirectly) 10% or more of our voting stock, nor does this
summary discuss all of the tax considerations that may be
relevant to certain types of investors subject to special
treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (such as banks,
insurance companies, investors liable for the alternative
minimum tax, individual retirement accounts and other
tax-deferred accounts, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in
securities or currencies, investors that will hold ADSs as part
of straddles, hedging transactions or conversion transactions
for U.S. federal income tax purposes or investors whose
functional currency is not the U.S. dollar).
As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder"
means a beneficial owner of ADSs that is (i) a citizen or
resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a
corporation, created or organized under the laws of the United
States or any State thereof, (iii) an estate the income of
which is subject to U.S. federal income tax without regard to
its source or (iv) a trust if a court within the United
States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have
the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
The summary assumes that we are not a passive
foreign investment company ("PFIC") for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, which we believe to be
the case. Our possible status as a PFIC must be determined
annually and therefore may be subject to change. If we were to
be a PFIC in any year, materially adverse consequences could
result for U.S. Holders.
The summary assumes that each obligation in the
deposit agreement between The Bank of New York and us (the
"Deposit Agreement") and any related agreement will be
performed in accordance with its terms and is based on the tax
laws of the United States, including the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), its legislative
history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published
rulings and court decisions, as well as on the Treaty, all as
currently in effect and all subject to change at any time,
possibly with retroactive effect.
For United States federal income tax purposes, a
U.S. Holder of ADSs will be treated as the owner of the
corresponding number of our shares held by The Bank of
New York as depositary (the "Depositary") and
references herein to shares refer also to ADSs representing
shares.
Dividends
General.
Distributions, inclusive of the
avoir fiscal
or
précompte
(discussed below
under "Effect of French Withholding Taxes —
Avoir Fiscal
"), if applicable, paid on our shares
out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), before
reduction for any French withholding tax paid by us with respect
thereto, will generally be taxable to a U.S. Holder as
foreign source dividend income in the year in which the
distribution is received (which, in the case of a
U.S. Holder of ADSs, will be the year of receipt by the
Depositary), and will not be eligible for the dividends received
deduction otherwise allowed to corporations. Distributions in
excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be
treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the
U.S. Holder's basis in the ADSs and thereafter as
capital gain.
61
Table of Contents
Effect of French Withholding Taxes —
Avoir Fiscal.
As discussed above under
"French Taxation — Taxation of Dividends" in
France dividends are paid out of after-tax income. Under French
domestic law, dividends paid to non-residents are normally
subject to a 25% French withholding tax and are not eligible for
the benefit of the
avoir fiscal
.
Under the Treaty, the rate of French withholding
tax on dividends paid to a US Holder that is not a company
holding, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of our share
capital and whose ownership of ADSs is not effectively connected
with a permanent establishment or a fixed base in France is
reduced to a 15% withholding tax. This rate is further reduced
to 5% if the US Holder is a company holding, directly or
indirectly, at least 10% of our share capital and whose
ownership of ADSs is not effectively connected with a permanent
establishment or a fixed base in France. An Eligible
U.S. Holder (as defined below) is also entitled to a
payment equal to the
avoir fiscal
, less the 15%
withholding tax. As noted below, this payment will not be made
to an Eligible U.S. Holder until after the close of the
calendar year in which the dividend was paid and only upon
receipt by the French tax authorities of a claim made by the
Eligible U.S. Holder for the payment in accordance with the
procedures set forth below.
As used herein, the term "an Eligible U.S.
Holder" is a U.S. Holder whose ownership of ADSs is
not effectively connected with a permanent establishment or
fixed base in France who is entitled to the benefits of the
Treaty under the "Limitation on Benefits" article of
the Treaty, and who is (i) an individual or other
non-corporate holder that is a resident of the United States as
defined pursuant to the provisions of the Treaty, (ii) a
United States corporation that does not own, directly or
indirectly, 10% or more of our capital, other than a regulated
investment company, (iii) a United States corporation that
does not own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of our
capital, which is a regulated investment company, but only if
less than 20% of its shares are beneficially owned by persons
who are neither citizens nor residents of the United States or
(iv) a partnership or trust that is treated as a resident
of the United States as defined pursuant to the provisions of
the Treaty, but only to the extent that its partners,
beneficiaries or grantors would qualify under clause (i) or
(ii) above.
In general, under the Treaty, an Eligible
U.S. Holder may receive a payment of the
avoir
fiscal
only if the holder (or its partners, beneficiaries or
grantors, if the holder is a partnership or trust) attests that
it is subject to United States federal income taxes on the
payment of the
avoir fiscal
and the related dividend.
However, certain tax-exempt "U.S. Pension Funds", as
defined below, and certain other tax-exempt entities (including
certain governmental institutions, non-profit-making
organizations and individuals with respect to dividends
beneficially owned by such individuals and derived from an
investment retirement account) ("Other Tax-Exempt
Entities") that own, directly or indirectly, less than 10%
of our capital, and that satisfy certain filing formalities
(i) are entitled to a payment, subject to French
withholding tax, equal to 30/85 of the gross
avoir fiscal
(the "partial
avoir fiscal
") and (ii) are
eligible for the reduced withholding tax rate of 15% on
dividends. A "U.S. Pension Fund" includes, inter
alia, the exempt pension funds subject to the provisions of
Section 401(a) (qualified retirement plans),
Section 403(b) (tax deferred annuity contracts),
Section 408 (individual retirement accounts) or
Section 457 (deferred compensation plans) of the Code,
established and managed in order to pay retirement benefits.
Dividends paid to an Eligible U.S. Holder
will be subject to the reduced withholding tax rate of 15% at
the time the dividend is paid if (i) such holder duly
completes and provides the French tax authorities with French
Treasury Form RF 1 A EU-NO. 5052 (the
"Form") before the date of payment of the relevant
dividend together with, if such Eligible U.S. Holder is not
an individual, an affidavit attesting that it is the beneficial
owner of all the rights attached to the full ownership of ADSs,
including but not limited to dividend rights, or (ii) if
completion of the Form is not possible prior to the payment of
dividends, the holder duly completes and provides the French tax
authorities with a simplified certificate (the
"Certificate") stating that (a) the holder is a
U.S. resident as defined pursuant to the provisions of the
Treaty, (b) the holder's ownership of the ADSs is not
effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed
base in France, (c) the holder owns all the rights attached
to the full ownership of the ADSs, including but not limited to
dividend rights, (d) the holder meets all the requirements
of the Treaty for obtaining the benefit of the reduced rate of
withholding tax and the right to payment of the French
avoir fiscal
, and (e) the holder claims the
reduced rate of withholding tax and payment of the
avoir fiscal
under the Treaty. U.S. Holders of
ADSs may provide the Form or the Certificate to the Depositary,
provided that the Depositary be given sufficient time to file
such Form or Certificate with the French tax authorities before
the date of payment.

Table of Contents
Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that is not
entitled to the
avoir  fiscal
(i.e., not an Eligible
U.S. Holder) or to an Eligible U.S. Holder whose completed
Form or Certificate has not been filed before the dividend
payment date will be subject to French withholding tax at the
rate of 25%. Such holder may claim a refund of the excess
withholding tax and an Eligible U.S. Holder may claim the
avoir fiscal
by completing and providing the French
tax authorities with the Form before December 31 of the
year following the end of the calendar year in which the
dividend is paid. U.S. Pension Funds and Other Tax-Exempt
Entities are subject to the same general filing requirements as
Eligible U.S. Holders except that they may have to supply
additional documentation evidencing their entitlement to these
benefits.
The Form or the Certificate, together with their
respective instructions, will be provided by the Depositary to
all U.S. Holders of ADSs registered by the Depositary. They
are also available from the United States Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS"). The Depositary will arrange for
the filing with the French tax authorities of all Forms or
Certificates completed by U.S. Holders that are returned to
the Depositary in sufficient time. Eligible U.S. Holders,
U.S. Pension Funds and Other Tax-Exempt Entities must file (or
have the Depositary file) the form and, when applicable, the
affidavit in order to receive payment of the
avoir fiscal
or partial
avoir fiscal
(whichever is applicable). The
avoir fiscal
or partial
avoir fiscal
is generally
expected to be paid to Eligible U.S. Holders,
U.S. Pension Funds and Other Tax-Exempt Entities within
12 months of filing the Form, but not before
15 January following the end of the calendar year in which
the related dividend is paid. Similarly, any French withholding
tax refund is generally expected to be paid to U.S. Holders
within 12 months of filing the Form, but not before
15 January following the end of the calendar year in which
the related dividend is paid.
Précompte.
Amounts distributed as dividends by
French companies out of profits which have not been taxed at the
ordinary corporate income tax rate or which have been earned and
taxed more than five years before the distribution and which
give rise to the
avoir fiscal
are subject to a
précompte
, or equalization tax, by such companies.
The
précompte
is paid by the distributing company to
the French tax authorities and is generally equal to one-half of
the net dividend distributed.
A U.S. Holder not entitled to the (full or
partial)
avoir fiscal
may generally obtain a refund from
the French tax authorities of
précompte
actually
paid by us with respect to the dividends distributed. A U.S.
Holder entitled to partial
avoir fiscal
may generally
obtain a refund of
précompte
reduced by the amount
of the
avoir fiscal
payment. Pursuant to the Treaty, the
amount of the
précompte
refunded to United States
residents is reduced by the 15% or, as the case may be, 5%
withholding tax applicable to dividends. A U.S. Holder is
only entitled to a refund of
précompte
actually paid
in cash by us and is not entitled to a refund of the
précompte
paid by us by off-setting French and/or
foreign tax credits.
A U.S. Holder entitled to the refund of the
précompte
must apply for such refund by filing a
French Treasury Form RF 1 B EU-NO. 5053
before the end of the calendar year following the year in which
the dividend was paid. This form, together with its
instructions, are available from the United States Internal
Revenue Services and at the
Centre des impôts des non
résidents
(9 rue d'Uzès,
75094 Paris Cedex 2, France). The Depositary will
arrange for the filing with the French tax authorities of all
forms that are returned to the Depositary in sufficient time.
For United States federal income tax purposes,
the amount of the
précompte
paid to a
U.S. Holder will be included in gross income as dividend
income in the year such payment is received. Such amounts will
generally constitute foreign source "passive" or (in
the case of certain holders) "financial services"
income for foreign tax credit purposes.
US Credits.
For U.S.
federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders will be treated
as having received the amount of French taxes withheld by us
with respect to a share or an ADS, and as then having paid over
the withheld taxes to the French taxing authorities. As a result
of this rule, the amount of dividend income included in gross
income for U.S. federal income tax purposes by a
U.S. Holder with respect to a payment of dividends may be
greater than the amount of cash actually received (or
receivable) by the U.S. Holder from us with respect to the
payment.
Subject to certain limitations, a
U.S. Holder will generally be entitled to a credit against
its U.S. federal income tax liability, or a deduction in
computing its U.S. federal taxable income, for French
income taxes
63

withheld by us that are not refundable under the
Treaty. For purposes of the foreign tax credit limitation,
foreign source income is classified into one of several
"baskets", and the credit for foreign taxes on income
in any basket is limited to U.S. federal income tax
allocable to that income. Dividends paid on our Shares generally
will constitute foreign source income in the "passive
income" basket or, in the case of certain holders, the
"financial services income" basket. In certain
circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be denied foreign tax credits
(and instead may be allowed deductions) for foreign taxes
imposed on a dividend if the U.S. Holder (i) has not
held our ADSs for at least 16 days in the 30-day period
beginning 15 days before the ex dividend date, during which
it is not protected from risk of loss; (ii) is obligated to
make payments related to the dividends; or (iii) holds the
ADSs in arrangements in which the U.S. Holder's
expected profit, after non-U.S. taxes, is insubstantial.
Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisers
concerning the foreign tax credit implications of the payment of
these French taxes.
Foreign Currency Dividends.
Dividends paid in Euro, including the
avoir fiscal
and the
précompte
, before
reduction for French withholding taxes, will be included in
income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to
the exchange rate in effect on the day the dividends are
received by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the Euro
are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If dividends
received in Euro are converted into U.S. dollars on the day
they are received, the U.S. Holder generally will not be
required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect
of the dividend income.
A U.S. Holder will generally be required to
recognize United States source ordinary income or loss upon the
sale or disposition of Euro. Moreover, a U.S. Holder may be
required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss, which will
generally be United States source ordinary income or loss, upon
the receipt of a refund of amounts, if any, withheld from a
dividend in excess of the Treaty rate of 15%.
For purposes of determining the amount of the
foreign tax credit, U.S. Holders who use the cash basis
method of accounting must translate French withholding tax into
U.S. dollars at the spot rate on the date the dividend is
received. U.S. Holders that use the accrual basis method
must translate French taxes into U.S. dollars at a rate
equal to the average exchange rate for the taxable year in which
the taxes accrue. All U.S. Holders, however, must translate
foreign currency received as a dividend into U.S. dollars
at the spot rate on the date the dividend is received for
purposes of determining the amount of dividend income that is
included in the U.S. Holder's gross taxable income.
This difference in exchange rates may reduce the
U.S. dollar value of the credits for French taxes relative
to the U.S. Holders' U.S. federal income tax
liability attributable to a dividend.
Sale or other
Disposition
Upon a sale or other disposition of ADSs, a
U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss
for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the
difference, if any, between the amount realized on the sale or
other disposition and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax
basis in the ADSs. This capital gain or loss will be long-term
capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding
period in the ADSs exceeds one year. For a non-corporate
U.S. Holder, the maximum long-term capital gains rate is
20%, which is further reduced to 18% of the ADS's have been
held for more than five years. Any gain or loss will generally
be U.S. source, except that losses will be treated as
foreign source to the extent that the U.S. Holder received
dividends that were includible in the financial services income
basket during the 24-month period prior to the sale. This
24-month period may be extended to cover periods in which the
U.S. Holder's risk of loss is hedged.
Passive
Foreign Investment Company Status
A foreign corporation will be a PFIC in any
taxable year in which either (i) 75% or more of its gross
income consists of certain specified types of
"passive" income or (ii) the average percentage
of its assets (by value) that produce or are held for the
production of passive income is at least 50%. We do not expect
that we will be a PFIC in 2002, but our possible status as a
PFIC must be determined annually and therefore we might become a
PFIC in future years.
If we were a PFIC in any taxable year during
which a U.S. Holder owned ADSs and the U.S. Holder had
not made a mark to market or qualified electing fund election,
the U.S. Holder would generally be subject to special rules
(regardless of whether we continued to be a PFIC) with respect
to (i) any "excess distribution" (generally,
64
Table of Contents
any distributions received by the
U.S. Holder on ADSs in a taxable year that are greater than
125% of the average annual distributions received by the
U.S. Holder in the three preceding taxable years or, if
shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ADSs
and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition
of ADSs. Under these rules (a) the excess distribution or
gain would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's
holding period, (b) the amount allocated to the current
taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable
year in which we are a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income,
and (c) the amount allocated to each of the other taxable
years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in
effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year and an
interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed
with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such
other taxable year. If we were a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of
ADSs would generally be subject to similar rules with respect to
distributions to us by, and dispositions by us of the stock of,
any direct or indirect subsidiaries of ours that were also
PFICs. Furthermore, a U.S. Holder who beneficially owns an
interest in a PFIC is generally required to file an annual
information return on IRS Form 8621 describing the
distributions received from and any gain realized upon the
disposition of a beneficial interest in the PFIC.
French Estate
and Gift Taxes
Pursuant to "The Convention Between the
United States of America and the French Republic for the
Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal
Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Estates, Inheritance and
Gifts", a transfer of ADSs by gift or by reason of the
death of a U.S. Holder will not be subject to French gift
or inheritance tax, unless (i) the donor or the transferor
is domiciled in France at the time of making the gift or at the
time of his or her death, or (ii) the ADSs were used in, or
held for use in, the conduct of a business through a permanent
establishment or fixed base in France. In such a case, the
French gift or inheritance tax may be credited against the
U.S. gift or inheritance tax. This tax credit is limited to
the amount of the U.S. gift or inheritance tax due on the
ADSs.
French Wealth
Tax
The French wealth tax ("
impôt de
solidarité sur la fortune
") does not generally
apply to a U.S. Holder who is a resident of the United
States as defined in the provisions of the Treaty, unless the
ADSs form part of the business property of a permanent
establishment or fixed base in France.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding
Dividends on, and proceeds from the sale or other
disposition of ADSs by a U.S. paying agent or other
U.S. intermediary will be reported to the IRS and to the
U.S. Holder as may be required under applicable
regulations. Backup withholding may apply to these payments if
the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer
identification number or certification of foreign or other
exempt status or fails to report all dividends required to be
shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns. Certain
U.S. Holders (including, among others, corporations) are
not subject to backup withholding. U.S. Holders should
consult their tax advisers as to their qualification for
exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for
obtaining such an exemption.

Item 11:     QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Because we operate internationally, we are
exposed to general risks linked to operating abroad. The table
below provides information about our market sensitive financial
instruments and constitutes a "forward-looking
statement". Our major market risk exposures are changing
interest rates and currency fluctuations. Our policy is to
manage interest rates through use of a combination of fixed and
floating rate debt. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust
interest rate exposures when appropriate, based upon market
conditions. A portion of our current assets is denominated in
foreign currencies, which exposes us to market risk associated
with exchange rate movements. Our policy generally is to hedge
major foreign currency cash exposures through foreign exchange
forward contracts. These contracts are entered into with major
financial institutions, thereby minimizing the risk of credit
loss. All instruments are entered into for non-trading purposes.

Report of independent auditors
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Compagnie Générale de
Géophysique, S.A.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Compagnie Générale de
Géophysique, S.A., expressed in euros, as of
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Compagnie
Générale de Géophysique, S.A. at
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
France.
Accounting principles generally accepted in
France vary in certain significant respects from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. A
description of these differences and a reconciliation of
consolidated net income and shareholders' equity to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
are set forth in Note 27 to the consolidated financial
statements.

COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Compagnie Générale de Géophysique,
S.A. ("CGG") and its subsidiaries (together, the
"Group") is a global participant in the geophysical
services industry, providing a wide range of seismic data
acquisition, processing and interpretation services as well as
related processing and interpretation software to clients in the
oil and gas exploration and production business. It is also a
global manufacturer of geophysical equipment.
The accounting principles applied by the Group in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
France ("French GAAP") and comply with the regulation
Number 99-02 approved by the decree date June 22, 1999
of the French "Comité de la Réglementation
Comptable".
As CGG is listed on the New-York Stock Exchange
(American Depositary Shares), we have to file on Form 20F
with the SEC our annual financial statements reconciled with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("U.S. GAAP"). For the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999 there were no material
differences between French GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Beginning
with the financial statements for fiscal year 2001, French
GAAP differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.
The differences between French GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they
relate to the Group, and the reconciliation of net income and
shareholders' equity to U.S. GAAP are described in
note 27 of the consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Euro
Consolidated financial statements for 2000 and
2001 fiscal years were restated in euro using the fixed
exchange rate for French franc to euro of
€
1.00=FF6.55957.
The accompanying 2002 consolidated financial statements have
been established in euro.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries.
Investments in which ownership interest ranges
from 20% to 50% and the Group exercises significant influence
over operating and financial policies are accounted for using
the equity method. Certain investments where ownership is below
20% may be accounted for using the equity method when
significant influence (Board membership or equivalent) of the
business is exercised.
All inter-company transactions and accounts are
eliminated in consolidation.
Translation of financial statements of foreign
entities and foreign currency transactions
The accounts of all the Group's foreign
subsidiaries are maintained in the local currency, which is the
functional currency, with the exception of the accounts of
subsidiaries operating in Indonesia and Venezuela. In those
cases, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, the
currency in which the entities primarily conduct their
businesses.
Foreign currency transactions are translated at
the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recalculated at year-end exchange rates. The
resulting unrealized exchange gains and losses are included in
income.
When translating the foreign currency financial
statements of foreign subsidiaries to euro, year-end exchange
rates are applied to asset and liability accounts, while average
annual exchange rates are applied to
F-6
Table of Contents
COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
income statement accounts. Adjustments resulting
from this process are recorded in a separate component of
shareholders' equity.
With respect to foreign affiliates accounted for
using the equity method, the effects of exchange rate changes on
the net assets of the affiliate are recorded in a separate
component of shareholders' equity.
Multi-client survey accounting
Multi-client surveys consist of seismic surveys
to be licensed to customers on a non-exclusive basis. All costs
directly incurred in acquiring, processing and otherwise
completing seismic surveys are capitalized into the multi-client
library. The multi-client library is stated at the survey costs
described above less accumulated amortization or fair value if
lower. The Company reviews the library for potential impairment
for each survey on an ongoing basis.
Revenue
recognition:
Revenues related to multi-client surveys result
from pre-commitments and licenses after completion of the
surveys ("After-sales").
Pre-commitments — Generally the Company
obtains commitments from a limited number of customers before a
seismic project is completed. These commitments cover part or
all of the survey area blocks. In return for the commitment, the
customer typically gains the ability to direct or influence the
project specifications, advance access to data as it is being
acquired, and favorable pricing.
The Company recognizes pre-commitments as revenue
based on the ratio of project cost incurred to total estimated
project cost, which is consistent with the physical progress of
the project.
After sales — Generally the Company grants a
license entitling non-exclusive access to a complete and ready
for use, specifically defined portion of the Company's
multi-client data library in exchange for a fixed and
determinable payment. The Company recognizes after sales revenue
upon the client executing a valid license agreement and having
been granted access to the data. Within thirty days of execution
and access, the client may exercise the Company's warranty
that all the data conforms to technical specifications.
After sales volume agreements — The
Company enters into a customer arrangement in which the Company
agrees to grant licenses to the customer for access to a
specified number of blocks of the multi-client library. These
arrangements typically enable the customer to select and access
the specific blocks for a limited period of time. The Company
recognizes revenue when the blocks are selected and the client
has been granted access to the data.
Amortization:
The multi-client surveys are amortized according
to three different sets of parameters depending on the area or
type of surveys considered:
•
Gulf of Mexico surveys: amortized on the basis of
    66.6% of revenues. Starting at time of data delivery, a minimum
    straight-line depreciation scheme is applied on a 3 years
    period, should total accumulated depreciation from sales be
    below this minimum level,
•
Rest of the world surveys: same as above except
    depreciation is 83.3% of revenues and straight-line depreciation
    is a 5 years period from data delivery,
•
Long term strategic 2D surveys: amortization on
    sales according to the above area split and straight-line
    depreciation on a 7 years period from data delivery.

COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
Exclusive survey accounting (Proprietary /
Contract services)
The Company performs seismic services for a
specific customer. The Company recognizes proprietary/contract
revenue as the services are rendered. The Company evaluates the
progress to date, in a manner generally consistent with the
physical progress of the project, and recognizes revenue based
on the ratio of the project's cost to date to the total
project cost.
Other geophysical services
Revenue from the Company's other geophysical
services is recognized as the services are performed.
Equipment sales
Revenues on equipment sales are recognized upon
delivery to the customer. Any advance billings to customers are
recorded in current liabilities.
Software and hardware sales
Revenues from the sale of software and hardware
products are recognized following acceptance of the product by
the customer at which time the Group has no further significant
vendor obligations remaining. Any advance billings to customers
are recorded in current liabilities.
If an arrangement to deliver software, either
alone or together with other products or services, requires
significant production, modification, or customization of
software, the entire arrangement is accounted for as a
production-type contract, i.e. using the percentage of
completion method.
If the software arrangement does not require
significant production, modification, or customization of
software, revenue is recognized when all of the following
criteria are met:
•
the contract is signed,
•
delivery has occurred,
•
the fee is fixed or determinable,
•
collectibility is probable.
If the software arrangement provides for multiple
deliverables (e.g. upgrades or enhancements, postcontract
customer support such as maintenance, or services), the revenue
is allocated to the various elements based on specific objective
evidence of fair value, regardless of any separate allocations
stated within the contract for each element.
Maintenance revenues consist primarily of
postcontract customer support agreements and are recorded as
advance billings to customers and recognized as revenue on a
straight-line basis over the contract period.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.
Government research grants
For certain of its research projects carried out
jointly with other companies, the Group receives financing from
government organizations that provide such grants in order to
encourage research activities in France. A portion of the grants
(between 15% to 45%) is unconditionally repayable and is
recorded as debt when received.
The balance is repayable through royalties on
future sales only in the event the related research project
proves to be successful.
F-8
Table of Contents
COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
This conditionally repayable portion of the
research grant is recognized as income as the research
expenditures are incurred. Any royalties due are recognized as
cost of operations as the related sales are recognized.
Other revenues (expenses)
Operating results include other revenues and
expenses, which comprise revenues and expenses not linked with
current activity. It includes gains or losses on sales of assets
and non-recurring revenues and expenses, such as gains or losses
on partial sales of businesses, impairment of assets and
restructuring costs. Unusual items such as lay-off indemnities,
out of redundancy plans, and write-down or allowances on current
assets related to unusual events are recorded in cost of
operations.
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of marketable securities
and short-term time deposits generally having original
maturities of less than three months and are carried at the
lower of cost or market value.
Inventories and work-in-progress
Geophysical
services
Consumables and spare parts inventories are
stated at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined
on a standard cost basis, which approximates their weighted
average historical cost of acquisition.
When the percentage of completion method is not
applied, work-in-progress is stated at the lower of cost or
realizable value and includes all direct costs incurred in
acquiring and processing data for non-completed exclusive
surveys.
Products
Raw materials and spare parts are stated at the
lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a weighted
average basis.
Products in progress and finished products are
stated at the lower of cost or realizable value and include all
direct and indirect costs incurred in manufacturing equipment.
General and administrative expenses and research and development
costs are not included in inventory.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost
and include assets acquired under capital lease arrangements.
The Group can receive from the Government
non-repayable equipment subsidies which are recorded as a
reduction to the cost of the equipment when received and
recognized in income as a reduction of depreciation expense over
the estimated useful lives of the equipment subsidized.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, which are as follows:
Buildings
20 years
Machinery, equipment and vehicles
3 to 5 years
Seismic vessels
12 to 20  years
Office furniture and fixtures
6 to 10 years
Computer hardware and software
3 to 5 years
F-9
Table of Contents
COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
Repairs, maintenance and renewal costs, which do
not materially prolong the useful life of an asset, are expensed
as incurred.
Upon sale or other disposition, the applicable
amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from
disposal, is charged or credited to income in other revenues and
expenses.
Inter-company gains on sales of assets and
equipment sales made by the geophysical products segment to the
geophysical services segment, as well as the related effect on
depreciation expense, are eliminated in consolidation.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired,
is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future
periods of benefit, which is five years for software activities
and from ten to twenty years depending on the other type of
businesses acquired.
The difference between the cost of equity method
investments and the amount of underlying equity acquired in the
net assets of the investee is not included in goodwill, but is
classified in investments in companies under the equity method.
Intangible assets also include patents and
trademarks, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over
their estimated useful lives.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, goodwill and other
identifiable intangible assets are written down when, as a
result of events or changes in circumstances within the year,
their recoverable value appears to have declined on an other
than temporary basis to an amount less than their carrying value.
Impairment is determined for each group of
autonomous assets (independent operating units or subsidiaries)
by comparing their carrying value with the undiscounted cash
flows that they are expected to generate based upon
management's expectations of future economic and operating
conditions.
Should the above comparison indicate that an
asset is impaired, the write-down recognized is equivalent to
the difference between carrying value and either market value or
the sum of discounted future cash flows.
Unconsolidated investments
Unconsolidated investments are recorded in
"Long term receivable and other investments" at
acquisition cost, less provision for depreciation to reduce them
at the fair value.
Income taxes
Deferred taxes are calculated on the one hand, on
tax losses carried forward and, on the other hand, provided for
on timing differences arising between the net assets of
consolidated companies and the amount resulting from the
application of tax regulations. These amounts are recorded under
the liability method based on the tax rates in effect when the
temporary differences will reverse. Deferred tax assets are
recorded and based on their probability of realization.
Tax credits and other allowances are credited to
current income tax expense using the flow-through method of
accounting.

Pension plans and other post-retirement
benefits
The Group maintains pension plans in various
countries as prescribed by local laws and customs.
Contributions, based on salaries, are made to the national
organizations responsible for the payment of pensions. The Group
has no additional liability for these plans.
In France, legislation requires that lump sum
retirement indemnities be paid to employees based upon their
years of service and compensation at retirement. The actuarial
liability of this unfunded obligation is included in other
long-term liabilities.
The Group has no significant commitments to
provide other post-retirement benefits such as medical costs and
life insurance to employees.
Contingencies
An estimated loss from a contingency is
charged to income if it is probable that an asset has been
impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of
the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. Disclosure is made for loss contingencies
not meeting both these conditions if there is a reasonable
possibility that a loss may be incurred. In particular, the
Group records provisions for future reasonably foreseeable
losses on contracts in progress.
No accruals are made for contingent gains.
Financial instruments
The Group may enter into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts to limit its exposure to currency
fluctuations when firm contract commitments exist for net cash
flows (contract revenues less costs) to be received in foreign
currencies (primarily U.S. dollars). A forward foreign
exchange contract obligates the Group to exchange predetermined
amounts of specified foreign currencies at specified exchange
rates on specified dates or to make an equivalent Euro payment
equal to the value of such exchange.
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from
changes in forward rates of instruments hedging recognized
assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings in the period
of change together with the offsetting gain or loss on the
hedged item. Changes in the fair value of instruments hedging
future commitments should be deferred and will be recognized in
earnings on the projected date of the forecasted transaction. If
the amounts and maturity dates of forward contracts do not
correspond to foreign currency cash flows to be generated by the
backlog, the forward contracts should not be qualified as
hedges. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses resulting from
changes in forward rates of these contracts should be recorded
in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses reflected in income are
included respectively in other current assets and other
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet using the accrual
method.
The Group also purchases interest rate cap
agreements that are designed to limit its exposure to increasing
interest rates and are designated as hedges of its long-term
debt portfolio. An interest rate cap entitles the Group to
receive a payment from the counter-party equal to the excess, if
any, of the hypothetical interest expense (strike price) on a
specified notional amount at a current market interest rate
over an amount specified in the agreement. The only amount the
Group is obligated to pay to the counterparty is an initial
premium. The strike price of these agreements exceeds the
current market levels at the time they are entered into. The
interest rate indices specified by the agreements have been and
expected to be highly correlated with the interest rates the
Group incurs on its long-term debt portfolio. Payments to be
received as a result of the specified interest rate index
exceeding the strike price are accrued in other assets and are
recognized as a reduction of interest expense
(the accrual accounting method). The cost of these
agreements is included in other assets and amortized to interest
expense on a pro rata temporis basis during the life
of the agreement.
The Group does not enter into forward foreign
currency exchange contracts or interest rate cap agreements for
trading purposes nor does it use any other types of derivative
financial instruments.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of the
Company's shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earning per share is calculated by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares
including the effect of dilutive securities (stock-options).
NOTE 2 — ACQUISITIONS AND
DIVESTITURES
All acquisitions have been accounted for using
the purchase method.
For the year ended December 31,
2002
On May 21, 2002, Talamantes B.V.,
a Dutch company and Paradigm Geophysical Ltd
("PGEO") entered into an Agreement of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger
of PGEO into Talamentes or one of its subsidiaries
(the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
all PGEO outstanding ordinary shares were to be converted into
the right to receive $5.15 in cash each (the "Merger
Consideration"), without interest thereon. In consideration
of the execution of the Merger Agreement by PGEO, CGG entered
into a voting agreement, dated as of May 21, 2002, with
Talamantes, by which CGG agrees to vote in favor of
the Merger.
The Merger was completed on August 13, 2002
and the shares CGG held in PGEO were therefore converted into
the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable upon
surrender of the relevant share certificate. We received a total
of U.S.$7.7 million in Merger Consideration. A Euros
2 millions loss was recorded under the item "Other
revenues and expenses".
On July 4, 2002, the Company acquired
a 30% stake in the share capital of CGG Asia-Pacific
(ex Teknosif Sdn Bhd) with a value of 405,000
malaysian Ringgit
(
€
108,000). CGG
AP is engaged in data processing activities and is incorporated
in Malaysia. This transaction did not generate any material
goodwill.
In September 2002, we acquired 7,757.400 shares
of PGS for approximately Euros 7.3 million representing
a 7.51% stake.
On December 27, 2002, we sold our borehole
seismic activity to Baker Atlas, a division of Baker Hughes
for U.S.$12 million cash and we agreed to form a joint
venture for the processing and interpretation of borehole
seismic data, which was incorporated in February 2003 and in
which CGG owns 49%. A Euros 8.4 millions gain was
recorded under the item "Other revenues and expenses".
For the year ended December 31,
2001
On January 16, 2001, the Group acquired two
seismic vessels and seismic data from Aker Maritime ASA, a
Norwegian corporation.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Group
acquired the two seismic vessels
Amadeus
and
Symphony,
operated by Aker Geo, as well as 1,000 Km
2
of recently acquired seismic data. Operating continuity both
vis-à-vis current Aker Geo clients and main suppliers
constituted an integral part of the agreement. As consideration
for this transaction, Aker Maritime received
U.S.$25 million in cash and 1,591,407 shares of the
Company, representing 13.6% of the total number of shares issued
after the transaction was completed.
The total transaction value was approximately
U.S.$118 million, and did not create any material
additional goodwill, compared to the total value of the
transaction, as the transaction is by nature a sale of
assets.
On December 24, 2001, the Group sold its
radio navigation and positioning division Osiris BV to
Fugro NV for
€
7 million
in cash.

For the year ended December 31,
2000
In September 2000, the Group acquired Mark
Products from Shaw Industries for an amount of
U.S.$23.8 million. Shaw's Mark Products division, with
operations in Houston, Texas and Calgary, Alberta, was sold to
Sercel, our geophysical equipment manufacturing business. As
consideration, Shaw received 352,237 ordinary shares of CGG,
which represented 3.7% of the outstanding CGG shares. Mark
Products is a leading manufacturer of geophones, hydrophones,
cables and connectors utilized for land, marine and transition
zone geophysical applications worldwide.
The transaction generated a goodwill of
€
14.3 million,
which is being amortized over 10 years.
In October 2000, CGG's Flagship
reservoir interpretation and characterization software division
of the Group was merged within Paradigm Geophysical, a public
company listed on the NASDAQ market.
We received in exchange for Flagship
1.5 million Paradigm shares, valued at U.S.$7 each, and
U.S.$4 million in cash. CGG's equity stake in Paradigm
represents approximately a 10.2% holding in the company.
Under the agreement, Paradigm acquired CGG's
Flagship operations, which include the products Integral Plus
and Stratimagic.
In addition, the Group and Paradigm develop a
technological cooperation in the domain of interpretation
software. The common goal of this strategic development has been
materialized by our significant equity participation in
Paradigm, and we benefit from one seat on the Board of Directors
of Paradigm, where we are the sole industrial shareholder. The
stake in Paradigm has been accounted for under the equity
method, generating an in-built goodwill of
€
6.3 million,
amortized over 5 years due to the nature of the activity.
In October 2000, the Group acquired the 40%
minority interest of Louis Dreyfus Armateurs ("LDA")
within CGG Marine (the remaining 60% being already owned by
CGG) and 50% of Kantwell Overseas Shipping, future owner of the
seismic ship "CGG Mistral". The transaction was
finalized on December 21, 2000.
LDA contributed
€
6.2 million
to CGG's subsidiary CGG Marine during 2000 prior to
CGG's purchase of LDA's interest in the subsidiary.
The upgrade of the seismic vessel Mistral to a
10-steamers capacity took place through the creation of a joint
company (Kantwell Overseas Shipping) to which the Mistral,
currently owned by LDA, sold in its present condition. The
upgrade started at the end of the second half of 2001 and was
achieved in June 2002. Upon delivery from the shipyard,
CGG Marine operated the Mistral under a 7-year time charter
granted by the joint venture, new owner of the vessel. As
consideration for these transactions, LDA received 413,969 CGG
shares. The total transaction value was approximately
U.S.$24.2 million, generating a goodwill on the purchase of
CGG Marine's shares of
€
13.3 million,
which is being amortized over 10 years.

In the geophysical services segment, customers
are generally large, national or international oil and gas
companies, which management believes reduces potential credit
risk. In the geophysical products segment, a significant portion
of sales is paid by irrevocable letters of credit.
The Group maintains an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of
specific customers, historical trends and other information.
Credit losses have not been material for the periods presented
and have consistently been within management's expectations.
Recoverable costs and accrued profit not billed
comprise amounts of revenue recognized under the percentage of
completion method on contracts for which billings had not been
presented to the contract owners because the amounts were not
billable at the balance sheet date. Such unbilled account
receivables are billable over the next 60 days.
The long-term receivables as of December 31,
2002 are mainly related to contracts concluded by Sercel.

On November 17, 2000, the Group issued
U.S.$170 million aggregate principal amount of 10 5/8%
Senior Notes due 2007 in the international capital markets. The
Group used the approximately U.S.$64.9 million of net
proceeds to repay a portion of outstanding indebtedness under
the existing syndicated credit facility and to fund the
U.S.$25 million cash portion of the purchase price of two
marine seismic vessels and certain seismic data from an
affiliate of Aker. A standard covenant package is attached to
the bond, with a main incurrence test of coverage of interest by
EBITDA. The Group was in compliance with the bond covenants on
the date of issue, and at year-end.

COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
On February 5, 2002, the Group issued in
addition to the bonds issued on November 2000, bonds in a total
principal amount of US$55 millions, with a maturity date in
2007 and with an annual fixed rate of 10 5/8%.
The bulk of the financial resources of the Group
consists of, in addition to the U.S.$225 million bonds, a
syndicated bank line of U.S.$72 million, amortizing by
half-yearly installments or cancellations over two years started
in September 2002.
In addition to the covenants pertaining to this
syndicated line of credit, the terms of certain other bank loan
agreements contain, among other provisions, requirements for
maintaining certain financial ratios, primarily debt to equity
ratios. At December 31, 2002, the Group was in full
compliance with all of these provisions. In the event the Group
does not comply with one of these financial ratios, the banks
could request immediate repayment of the loans.
At December 31, 2002 the Group had
€
10.2 million
available in unused short-term credit lines and overdraft
facilities and
€
68.6 million
in unused long-term credit lines.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company's share capital at
December 31, 2002 consisted of 11,680,718 shares, each with
a nominal value of
€
2.
Conversion of the share capital into
Euro
The Board of Directors in its meeting dated
March 14, 2001, acting by virtue of the authorization
granted by the General Meeting dated May 17, 2000, decided
to convert the share capital into euro by conversion of the

nearest euro.
Therefore, the nominal share value is stated at
€
2, which on the
basis of the previous nominal value of FRF 10
(
€
1.52) has
involved an increase of the share nominal value of FRF 3.12
per share. To reflect this capital increase of
€
5,553,116 the
relevant sum has been deducted from the account "Issuance
premium".

Stock options
Pursuant to various resolutions adopted by the

Pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors, the Company has instituted a new stock option on
May 15, 2002. Options granted under this new plan which
expires eight years from the date of grant, are vested by one
fifth each year from May 2002 and cannot be generally exercised
before 2005; options to subscribe 1000 shares or more can
not be sold before May 15, 2006.
Twenty percent of options granted in 1997 can be

In December 1996, the French Parliament adopted a
law that requires French companies to pay French social
contributions and certain salary-based taxes, which may
represent, for the Company, up to 50% of the taxable salary, on
the difference between the exercise price of a stock option and
the fair market value of the underlying shares on the exercise
date if the beneficiary disposes of the shares before a five
year period following the grant of option.
The new law is consistent with personal income
tax law that requires individuals to pay income tax on the
difference between the option exercise price and the fair value
of the shares at the grant date if the shares are sold or
otherwise disposed of within five years of the option grant. The
law applies to all options exercised after January 1, 1997.
The Group has not recorded a liability for social
charges which may be assessed for options granted as of
December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 as the liability, being
dependent on future trading values of the Company's shares
and the timing of employees' decisions to exercise options
and sell the related shares cannot be estimated. The Group also
does not consider that the liability is probable due to the
income tax disincentives to employees of exercising options and
selling the shares in less than a five-year period or four year
for the plan dated March 2001.
NOTE 13 — FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
Foreign currency exposure management
The reporting currency for the Group's
consolidated financial statements is the Euro. However, as a
result of having primarily customers, which operate in the oil
and gas industry, more than 90% of the Group's operating
revenues are denominated in currencies other than the Euro,
primarily the U.S. dollar.
As a result, the Group's sales and operating
income are exposed to the effects of fluctuations in the value
of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar. A strengthening of the Euro
compared to the U.S. dollar has a negative effect on
F-23
Table of Contents
COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
the Group's net sales and operating income
denominated in U.S. dollars when translated to Euro, while a
weakening of the Euro has a positive effect. In addition, the
Group's exposure to fluctuations in the
Euro  /  U.S. dollar exchange rate has
considerably increased over the last few years due to increased
sales outside of Europe.
In order to improve the balance of its net
position of receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies, the Group maintains a portion of its financing in
U.S. dollars. At December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the
Group's long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars
amounted to U.S.$272.6 million, U.S.$181.1 million and
U.S.$186.6 million, respectively. The Group also attempts
to improve this balance by entering into forward exchange
contracts.
In addition, to protect against the reduction in
the value of future foreign currency cash flows, the Group
follows a policy of selling U.S. dollars forward at average
contract maturity dates which the Group attempts to match with
future net U.S. dollar cash flows (revenues less costs in
U.S. dollars) to be generated by firm contract commitments
in its backlog generally over the ensuing six months. A similar
policy, to a lesser extent, is carried out with respect to
contracts denominated in British pounds. This foreign currency
risk management strategy has enabled the Group to reduce,
however, not eliminate the positive or negative effects of
exchange movements with respect to these currencies.
Details of forward exchange contracts are as

    in 2001 and 2000.
Only three subsidiaries of the Group are located
in countries where hyperinflation could be encountered for the
past three years, namely, Venezuela, Indonesia and Mexico. The
functional currency retained for the Venezuela and Indonesia
subsidiaries is the U.S.$. For Mexico, the applicable rates are

The calculation of the evolution over three years
shows an average price increase of 10%, which does not qualify
for hyperinflation.
Interest rate risk management
Since 1996, the Group maintains interest rate cap
agreements to reduce the sensitivity of interest expense on its
variable-rate debt to increases in interest rates.
No new agreement was subscribed since July 2002.

The Group considers the carrying value for loan
receivable and other investments, trade accounts and notes
receivable, other receivables, trade accounts and notes payable
and other current liabilities to be the most representative
estimate of fair value.
For bank loans with fixed interest rates, the
fair values have been estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses based on the Group's incremental borrowing rates
for similar types of borrowing arrangements. For variable-rate
bank loans, vendor equipment financing and the shareholder
loans, fair values approximate carrying values.
The fair values of foreign currency exchange
contracts are estimated based on current forward exchange rates
for contracts with comparable maturities.
NOTE 14 — CONTRACTUAL
OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contractual obligations
The Group leases primarily land, buildings and
geophysical equipment under capital lease agreements expiring at
various dates during the next five years. These capital lease
commitments include the sale-leaseback agreement with respect to
the Group's head office in Massy.
The Group also operates presently seismic vessels
under long-term charter agreements with ship-owners that expire
at various dates over the next 6 to 60 months. Since April
1999, the Group has been operating a new seismic vessel under a
long-term charter agreement, already signed at December 31,
1998, valid for a period of 8 years.
Other lease agreements relate primarily to
operating leases for offices, computer equipment and other items
of personal property.

Legal proceedings, claims and other
contingencies
The Group is a defendant in a number of legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and has
various unresolved claims pending. The outcome of these lawsuits
and claims is not known at this time. The Group believes that
the resulting liability, if any, net of amounts recoverable from
insurance or other sources, will not have a material adverse
effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial
position, or cash flows.
The Company has been sued by Parexpro (Portugal),
for termination without cause of employment agreements and
solicitation of a significant number of highly qualified staff
in the field of reservoir evaluation, misappropriation of
confidential information and documentation, clients, and loss of
profits resulting therefrom.
This latter claim should not have any material

NOTE 15 — ANALYSIS BY OPERATING
SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC ZONE
The following tables present revenues, operating
income and identifiable assets by operating segment, revenues by
geographic zone (by origin) as well as net sales by geographic
zone based on the location of the customer.
The Group principally services the oil and gas
exploration and production industry and currently operates in
two industry segments:
•
Geophysical services, which consist of
    (i) land seismic acquisition, (ii) marine seismic
    acquisition, (iii) other geophysical acquisition, including
    activities not exclusively linked to oilfield services, and
    (iv) data processing, and data management;
•
Products, which consist of the manufacture and
    sale of equipment involved in seismic data acquisition, such as
    recording and transmission equipment and vibrators for use in
    land seismic acquisition, and software development and sales.
Inter-company sales between such industry
segments are made at prices approximating market prices and
relate primarily to equipment sales made by the geophysical
products segment to the geophysical services segment. These
inter-segment sales, the related operating income recognized by
the geophysical products segment, and the related effect on
capital expenditures and depreciation expense of the geophysical
services segment are eliminated in consolidation and presented
in the column "Eliminations and Adjustments" in the
tables which follow.
Operating income represents operating revenues
and other operating income less expenses of the industry
segment. It includes non-recurring and unusual items, which are
disclosed in the operating segment if material. General
corporate expenses, which include Group management, financing,
and legal activities, have been included in the column
"Eliminations and Adjustments" in the tables which
follow. The Group does not disclose financial expenses or
revenues by operating segment considering these items are not
followed by the operating management and financing and investing
are mainly managed at a corporate level.
Identifiable assets are those used in the
operations of each industry segment and geographic zone.
Unallocated and corporate assets consist primarily of financial
assets, including cash and cash equivalents, and the
Group's Corporate headquarters in Massy.
Net sales originating in France include export
sales of approximately
€
179 million in
2002,
€
249 million
in 2001 and
€
143.8 million
in 2000.
In 2002, the Group's two most significant
customers accounted for 7.6% and 7.1%, respectively, of the
Group's consolidated revenues compared with 7.5% and 5.2%
in 2001 and 8.3 % and 8.0% in 2000.

"Gains on partial sales businesses" in
2002 include the sale in December of borehole seismic activity
to Baker Atlas, a division of Baker Hughes Inc. and the sale of
our Paradigm stock in August (see Note 2).
Assets write-downs are related to the shipwreck
of our seismic vessel "CGG Mistral" and the
geophysical equipment on board. In December 2002, our seismic
vessel "CGG Mistral" sank after a fire broke out
accidentally, offshore Trinidad. All onboard personnel were
evacuated and were safe. The streamers, which were deployed for
operations at the time as the fire broke out, were partially
recovered. There was no material impact on the environment and
no material impact on the 2002 results of operations due to the
insurance indemnities to be received recorded in the item
"Other" of "Non-recurring revenues".
Year ended December 31, 2001
"Gains on partial sales of businesses"
in 2001 included the sale of the positioning activity Osiris BV
to Fugro NV. The price of sale was
€
7 million
paid in cash. The transaction was subject to usual post-closing
diligences and included price adjustment clauses.
The increase of "Gains on sales of
assets" was mainly due to the sale to TGS of the
non-exclusive survey Mississippi Canyon. The price was
US$6.9 million in cash with a six months differed
settlement for US$4.9 million, and the exchange of their
rights in Atwater Valley non-exlusive survey.

The Company and its subsidiaries compute income
taxes in accordance with the applicable tax rules and
regulations of the numerous taxing authorities where the Group
performs. The tax regimes and income tax rates legislated by
these taxing authorities vary substantially. In foreign
countries, income taxes are often accrued based on deemed
profits calculated as a percentage of sales as defined by local
government tax authorities.
In accordance with the provisions of French tax
law, the Company elected on January 1, 1991 to file a
consolidated tax return for French subsidiaries in which the
Company holds an interest of more than 95% from the beginning of
the relevant year. The Company does not obtain any French tax
credit in respect of income taxes paid abroad.
The complexity of the various tax rules and
regulations do not permit meaningful comparisons of the French
and foreign components of income before taxes and the provisions
for income taxes. In addition, due to the mobile nature of
seismic acquisition activities, current relationships between
the French and foreign components of such tax items are not
reliable indicators of such relationships in future periods.
The difference between the French statutory tax
rate of 34.3% in 2002, 35.3% in 2001, and 36.4% in 2000 and the
Group's effective rate of income tax of 50% in 2002, 51.5%
in 2001, (212.6)% in 2000 relates primarily to the effective
rate of tax in these foreign jurisdictions and the potential
future tax benefit of losses which have been provided for.
Net operating loss carryforwards
In both France and foreign jurisdictions where
income tax is not determined based on deemed profits calculated
as a percentage of sales, the main significant temporary
differences between financial and tax reporting relate to net
operating loss carryforwards.
F-31
Table of Contents
COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
Net operating loss carryforwards available in
France and foreign jurisdictions amounts to
€
253.3 million,
including
€

of long term taxable capital losses available in France at
December 31, 2002 and are currently scheduled to expire as

Net operating loss carryforwards in France
include both losses available for carryforward to reduce future
French income tax payable by the consolidated tax Group as well
as losses dating prior to January 1, 1991 which are only
available to reduce future income tax of the individual
subsidiaries of the Group.
Since the majority of the Group's deferred
tax assets represent tax losses available for carryforward by
entities which have a recent history of generating losses, it
has been deemed more likely than not that those entities will
not be able to utilize the losses in the near future.
Consequently, the Group has recorded valuation allowances to
fully provide for the potential tax benefit of these items in
those entities.
Tax losses carried forward non recorded as
deferred tax asset mainly relate to CGG Marine tax losses prior
the entry in the consolidated tax Group for an amount of Euros
17,3 millions with 12,7 millions are indefinitely
available, Sercel Inc. tax losses for US$15.9 millions
available beyond 2008, and CGG Americas tax losses for an amount
of US$30.9 millions available beyond 2008. After taking
into account the financial projections, the Group decided not to
record any deferred tax asset.

As of December 31, 2002, the deferred fiscal
situation in France resulting from temporary differences between
consolidated and taxable results shows a deferred taxable basis
of M
€
30, whereby
no deferred tax asset was recorded.
Tax position and tax Audit
Based upon discussions between the Group and
French tax authorities, a risk currently exists concerning the
interpretation of tax regulations by the French tax
administration, which could result in a reduction in the amount
F-32
Table of Contents
COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
of net operating loss carryforwards reported
above. The Group is unable to quantify the amount, if any, of
such carryforwards that might be disallowed, although such
amounts could be significant.
On July 29, 2002, the Company received a
verification notice from the French taxation authorities
requesting documentation with respect to corporate tax and value
added tax. The corporate tax audit covers the 1991 through 2001
fiscal years, as required by French law for use of net operating
loss carry forwards. The audit tax procedure is in progress.
Undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and the
Group's share of undistributed earnings of companies
accounted for using the equity method amount to
€
181,0 million,
€
191.6 million
and
€
86.2 million
at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively. No
provision for French taxes on these earnings has been provided
which the Group considers to be indefinitely reinvested or which
would not be taxed when remitted.

NOTE 27 — US GAAP
RECONCILIATION
A —
SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING
    PRINCIPLES FOLLOWED BY THE GROUP AND U.S. GAAP
The accompanying Consolidated Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting
principles described in Note 1 above ("French
GAAP"), which differ in certain significant respects from
U.S. GAAP. These differences relate mainly to the following
items, and the necessary adjustments are shown in the tables in
section B.
Derivative instruments and hedging
activity
Under French GAAP, as described in Note 13 of our
consolidated financial statements, derivative instruments used
as hedges are not recognized in the balance sheet and hedging
gains and losses are recorded in the same period as the income
or loss on the hedge transactions.
Under U.S. GAAP beginning January 1,
2001 with the adoption of SFAS No. 133, ("Accounting
for Derivative Instrument and Hedging Activities") all
derivative instruments are recorded in the balance sheet at fair
value. Specifically,
•
hedge accounting may only be applied to hedges
    meeting strict criteria and SFAS No. 133 defines new
    requirement for designation and documentation of hedging
    relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness assessments in
    order to use hedge accounting;
•
for derivatives qualifying as hedges of future
    cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair value is
    recorded temporarily in equity (Other Comprehensive Income),
    then recognized in earnings along with the related effects of
    the hedged items. Any ineffective portion of hedges is reported
    in earnings as it occurs;
•
for derivatives qualifying as fair value hedges,
    changes in fair value of both the derivative and the hedged item
    are recognized in earnings;
•
for embedded derivatives in long-term contracts
    in foreign currencies (primarily U.S. dollar), revenue and
    expenses with a non-U.S. client or supplier are recognized
    at the forward exchange rate negotiated at the beginning of the
    contract. The variation of fair market value of the embedded
    derivative foreign exchange contracts is recognized in earnings;
F-37
Table of Contents
COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
•
if hedge accounting is not applied, changes in
    the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in
    earnings.
Goodwill amortization and impairment
Under French GAAP, goodwill is amortized on a
straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
Under U.S. GAAP, before 31 December
2001, no difference was reported for goodwill accounting. Since
1st January 2002, however, goodwill is no longer amortized
but remains at its carrying value as of December 31, 2001.
Under the provisions of SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets", goodwill is tested for impairment at
least annually. Differences could also occur in the
determination of the charge of impairment of goodwill under
French GAAP and U.S GAAP, no such difference was reported
for the year 2002. See section New Accounting Pronouncements for
a discussion of the first implementation of SFAS 142 and
related disclosures.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Under French GAAP, long-lived assets are written
down when, as a result of events or changes in circumstances
within the year, their recoverable value appears to have
declined on an other than temporary basis to an amount less than
their carrying value. Impairment is determined for each group of
autonomous assets (independent operating units or subsidiaries)
by comparing their carrying value with the undiscounted cash
flows that they are expected to generate based upon
management's expectations of future economic and operating
conditions.
Should the above comparison indicate that an
asset is impaired, the write-down recognized is equivalent to
the difference between carrying value and either market value or
the sum of discounted future cash flows.
Under U.S GAAP and starting on
1st January 2002, the date of adoption of SFAS 144
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets", the method described above is relevant only for
long-lived assets to be held and used, while assets to be
disposed of by sale should be reported as selling price less
costs to sale.
No such difference was reported for the year 2002.
Available-for-sale securities
Under French GAAP, investment in equity
securities are recorded at acquisition cost and an allowance is
provided if management deems that there has been an other-than
-temporary decline in fair value. Unrealized gains and temporary
unrealized losses are not recognized. For equity securities, the
allowance is evaluated based on the average of the market price
in the last 30 days.
Under US GAAP, investments in equity securities
are classified into two categories and accounted as follows:
Equity securities that are acquired and held principally for the
purpose of sale in the near term are classified as "trading
securities" and are reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses included in earnings. All other equity
securities are classified in "available for sale"
securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
temporary losses excluded from earnings and reported in
shareholder's equity. In case of other-than-temporary loss
in fair value, an allowance is recorded in earnings. Such
allowance is evaluated based on the market price at the closing
rate.
Stock-based compensation
Under French GAAP, no compensation cost is
recognized for stock options.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, the stock-based
compensation plans qualify as fixed plans under U.S. GAAP,
compensation cost is recorded under APB25 equal to the excess,
if any, of the market price over the exercise price of the
underlying shares at the date of grant.
The differences are not material for all periods
presented.

COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE GEOPHYSIQUE
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income includes all changes in
equity during a period except those resulting from investments
by owners and distributions to owners. In the consolidated
financial statements, the concept of comprehensive income does
not exist because French accounting principles do not authorize
any change in equity corresponding to this definition other than
net income and changes in the cumulative translation adjustment
related to foreign subsidiaries.
In U.S. GAAP financial statements,
comprehensive income and its components must be displayed in a
statement of comprehensive income.
For the Group, this statements includes, in
addition to net income:
•
changes in the cumulative translation adjustment
    related to consolidated foreign subsidiaries,
•
changes in the fair value of derivative
    instruments designed as cash flow hedges meeting the criteria
    established by SFAS 133,
•
changes in the amount of the additional minimum
    pension liability due to actuarial losses.
Presentation of Consolidated Statements of
operations
Under French GAAP, certain expenses, such as
"Goodwill amortization", are recorded below
"Operating income" in the Consolidated Statements of
operations.
Under U.S. GAAP, these expenses would be
classified as operating expenses/revenues.

DISCLOSURE
C1 — New accounting pronouncements
applied in 2002
Application of SFAS 141 "Business
Combinations" and SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets"
SFAS 141 requires that all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for
as purchases. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives acquired after
June 30, 2001 should not be amortized. The Group has
accounted for business combinations according to SFAS 141
and SFAS 142. During 2002, the Group has not undertaken any
significant acquisitions.
Application of the new accounting
pronouncements during the transition period
The review of intangible assets and goodwill
existing on January 1, 2002 with regard to the changes in
accounting method has not driven the Group to identify any new
intangible asset.
The application of the different criteria to
determine the reporting units has lead the Group to define four
reporting units: Products, Offshore, Land and Processing &
Reservoir. As part of the first step of the impairment testing,
these units were valued according to the discounted cash method.
This has enabled the comparison of their estimated fair value to
their carrying value. The fair values of the different reporting
units are over their carrying value. The evaluation of the
reporting units was performed using cash flow projections and a
discount rate equivalent to the weighted average cost of the
capital employed of each reporting unit.

After completion of the second stage of the
impairment tests, no impairment was recorded as of

Impairment testing during 2002 for intangible
assets with an indefinite useful life and goodwill
The Group has actualized at the end of 2002 those
evaluations undertaken during the transition period. The
impairment tests, which were performed, did not lead to any
additional impairment charge.

The fair value for these options was estimated at
the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following average assumptions for the options granted
in 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1997, respectively: risk-free interest
rates of 3.3%, 4.87%, 5.77%, and 4.1%; dividend yields of 0% in
all years; volatility factors of the expected market price of
the Company's ordinary shares of 0.429, 0.436, 0.528, and
0.43; and an expected life of the options ranging from 1 to
8 years.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the
estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over
the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma
information follows:

A portion of the amount of our outstanding bond
denominated in U.S. dollar has been designated as a hedge

during the year 2002 is 15 millions of euros.
C4 — Recently issued accounting
pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" which becomes effective in January
2003. This statement addresses accounting and reporting for
obligations and costs, which will occur when the long-term
assets are retired. Among other things, the statement requires
that the present value of the liability associated with future
asset retirements be recorded on the balance sheet when an
obligation has been incurred and when it can be reasonably
measured. The amortization of the capitalized costs and increase
in the present value of the obligation which result from the
passage of time, are charged to earnings. During 2002, the Group
has carried out an inventory of all sites or assets concerned
but has not determined the financial impact on its 2003
consolidated financial statements.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS
146"). SFAS 146 replaces EITF Issue No. 94-3,
Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs
Incurred in a Restructuring), and changes the timing of
recognition for certain exit costs associated with restructuring
activities. Under SFAS 146 certain exit costs would be
recognized over the period in which the restructuring activities
occur. Currently, exit costs are recognized when the Company
commits to a restructuring plan. SFAS 146 is to be applied
prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002, though early adoption is allowed. The
Company will adopt SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities
that are initiated after January 1, 2003. The provisions of
SFAS 146 could result in the Company recognizing the cost of
future restructuring activities over a period of time as opposed
to as a one-time expense.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and
Disclosure ("SFAS 148"). This Statement amends FASB
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
("SFAS 123"), to provide alternative methods of
transition to SFAS 123's fair value method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the
disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 to require prominent
disclosure in the summary of significant account policies of the
effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to
stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and
earnings per share in annual financial statements.
SFAS 148's amendment of the transition and annual
disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2002. Refer to Note 12 for
disclosures related to stock based compensation. The Company
intends to continue to account for stock-based compensation
based on the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others ("FIN 45").
FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the
guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the
obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The disclosure

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51
("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires certain variable
interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary
of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do
not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. The disclosure provisions of FIN 46 are
effective for financial statements initially issued after
January 31, 2003. Public entities with a variable interest
in a variable interest entity created before February 1,
2003 shall apply the consolidation requirements of FIN 46
to that entity no later than the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. FIN 46
is effective for all new variable interest entities created or
acquired after January 31, 2003. The Group is currently
assessing the impacts of FIN 46 on its financial statements.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND
DIRECTORS OF
ARABIAN GEOPHYSICAL & SURVEYING COMPANY
LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of
Arabian Geophysical & Surveying Company, a Saudi
Arabian Limited Liability Company, expressed in Saudi Riyals, as
of 31 December 2002 and 2001 and the related statements of
income, cash flows and changes in equity for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Arabian Geophysical & Surveying Company, a Saudi
Arabian Limited Liability Company as of 31 December 2002 and
2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years then ended in conformity with accounting standards
generally accepted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Accounting standards generally accepted in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia vary in certain significant respects
from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. A description of the significant differences and a
reconciliation of net income for the year ended 31 December 2002
and shareholders' equity as of 31 December 2002 to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
are set forth in Note 20 to the accompanying financial
statements.

adopted are as follows:
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the

is provided on all property, plant and equipment at rates
calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected
useful life.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and
market after making due allowance for any obsolete or slow
moving items. Cost is determined on a first-in first-out basis
(see note 4).
Zakat and income tax
Zakat and income tax are provided for in
accordance with Saudi Arabian fiscal regulations. The liability
is charged to retained earnings. Accordingly, any reimbursements
by the partners of such zakat and income tax are credited to
retained earnings.
Employees' terminal benefits
Provision is made for amounts payable under the
Saudi Arabian Labour Law applicable to employees'
accumulated periods of service at the balance sheet date.
Contract revenue
Contract revenue represents the invoiced value of
services rendered by the company during the year.

in Saudi Riyals at the rate ruling at the date of the
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to

Saudi Arabian accounting standards require that
the cost of inventories should be determined using the average
method. The company is in the process of changing its computer
system to enable it to use the average method. In the meantime,
the cost of inventories has been determined on a first-in
first-out method. It is estimated that if the company had used
the average method, the cost of inventories would not have been
materially different.
Inventories are held for internal use only and
are not intended for resale.
