NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Blast Energy Services, Inc. (“Blast Energy”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Blast Energy’s 2004 Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for 2004 as reported in the 10-KSB have been omitted.
Effective June 6, 2005, the Company changed its name to Blast Energy Services, Inc. from Verdisys, Inc. in part to reflect its focus on the energy service business. The Company believes such a name change creates better name recognition related to the types of service that it intends to provide and the ability to trademark new applications and services in a way to uniquely identify them with our company.
Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the financial statements of the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year for comparative purposes.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Blast Energy incurred a net loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, has an accumulated deficit of $25.8 million and a working capital deficit of $2.7 million as of June 30, 2005 and has several significant future financial obligations. These conditions create an uncertainty as to Blast Energy’s ability to continue as a going concern. Blast Energy’s drilling operations have ceased until such time as the new generation abrasive jetting rig is deployed. As of June 30, 2005, Blast Energy has expended $590,000 towards the rig construction project with a formal loan commitment of another $285,000. In addition, management expects to spend an additional $350,000 towards the rig construction, bringing the total cost of the rig to approximately $1.2 million. Management is trying to raise additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Blast Energy is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – STOCK OPTIONS
Blast Energy accounts for all stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”), which permits the measurement of compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). Under APB 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or in excess of the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Blast Energy accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Investments That Are Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. Common stock issued to non-employees and consultants is based upon the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued whichever value is more reliably measurable.
In the second quarter of 2005, Blast Energy granted 50,000 ten-year options to an employee with an exercise price at the then market price of $0.38. The options vest quarterly over 36 months. There was no intrinsic value associated with the grant, however, fair value totaled $15,706. Blast Energy also granted 72,000 ten year options to non-employee directors in the second quarter of 2005. The options vest over 12 months and have an exercise price of $0.38, the market price at the date of grant. There was no intrinsic value associated with the grants, however, fair value totaled $22,617.
In the first quarter of 2005, Blast Energy granted 130,000 ten-year options to employees with exercise prices at the then market price. The options vest quarterly over 36 months. There was no intrinsic value associated with the grants, however, fair value totaled $54,231.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
In the second quarter of 2004, Blast Energy granted 72,000 options to non-employee directors with an exercise price of $2.20. The options vested immediately. There was no intrinsic value associated with the grants, however, fair value totaled $156,913.
In the first quarter of 2004, Blast Energy granted 310,000 ten-year options to officers and non-employee directors with exercise prices at the then market price of $4.28. The options to officers vest monthly over 12 months and the options to non-employee directors vest immediately. There was no intrinsic value associated with the grants, however, fair value totaled $1,200,623.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if Blast Energy had applied the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during 2005 and 2004 was $.37 and $3.09, respectively. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include (1) 2.0% risk-free interest rate, (2) expected option life is the actual remaining life of the options as of each year end, (3) expected volatility is 133% and 124%, respectively, and (4) zero expected dividends.
NOTE 4 – EQUIPMENT & LATERAL DRILLING LICENSE
As of June 30, 2005, Blast Energy has expended $590,000 in building it’s first abrasive jetting rig and has a formal committment for another $295,000. In addition, management expects to spend an additional $350,000 bringing the total cost of the rig to approximately $1.2 million.
Blast Energy entered into a license agreement on April 23, 2003 for the exclusive use of the Landers lateral drilling process. On March 8, 2005, Blast Energy assigned its rights in that license to Maxim TEP, Inc. (“Maxim”) along with all current and future assignments, sublicenses or territorial royalty pertaining to the license. The President and CEO of Maxim is Dan Williams, a former President and CEO of Verdisys, Inc. As consideration, Maxim agreed to pay Blast Energy a total of $1.3 million over four installments: $300,000 on March 9, 2005; $100,000 on March 18, 2005; $500,000 on June 3, 2005 and $400,000 on September 2, 2005. As of June 30, 2005, Blast Energy has received the two installments due in March of 2005 and $100,000 towards the June installment (See Note 12). The carrying value of the license has been and will continue to be reduced for installments received. Blast Energy retains a non-exclusive Landers sublicense provided Blast Energy pays all required royalties on which the technology is utilized.
In connection with the assignment, Blast Energy sold two of its three drilling rigs for the release of a customer deposit obligation that Blast Energy owed Maxim. Maxim took delivery of the first rig during the first quarter and the second rig will be delivered when the default is cured. The gain on the sale of the first rig of $41,890 has been deferred as Blast Energy will recognize a loss on the second rig and the rigs were sold as a package. Blast Energy will continue to depreciate the second rig until its delivery to Maxim.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Blast Energy and Maxim have entered into an amended contract, which resulted in a $275,000 increase in the value of original Assignment of License Agreement (“Assignment”) dated March 8, 2005. The terms of the original Assignment required Maxim to make a $500,000 payment on June 3, 2005 and any delay of payment beyond a ten day period of the contracted payment date would cause a default of the contract which could be cured during a 45 day grace period if Maxim made a payment of $550,000 before the grace period expired. Maxim was unable to cure the default within the grace period, but Blast Energy and Maxim have entered into several amendments to extend the period to cure the default. The amendments have resulted in an extension of the due date until August 12, 2005, increased the final payment due on September 2, 2005 from $400,000 to $500,000 and assessed delinquency fees. As of August 5, 2005, Maxim has paid $135,000 towards the June 3, 2005 payment and has paid $175,000 in delinquency fees.
On July 15, 2005, Blast Energy entered into an agreement to develop its initial abrasive jetting rig with Berg McAfee Companies (BMC), a major shareholder. The arrangement involves two loans for a total of $1 million to fund the completion of the initial rig and sharing in the expected rig revenues for a ten-year period. As of August 11, 2005, Blast Energy had received $600,000 in funding under this agreement and is scheduled to receive the balance in several payments before the end of September 2005. Previously announced negotiations to develop up to five abrasive jetting rigs in a profit sharing agreement with Advanced Drilling Systems did not materialize. Under the terms of the loan agreement with BMC, cash revenues will be shared on the basis of allocating 90 percent to Blast Energy and 10 percent to BMC for a ten-year period following repayment. After ten years, Blast Energy will receive all of the revenue from the rig. The loan, which has a senior and subordinated structure, carries an average interest rate of 7.4% and is due September 15, 2006. BMC also has the option to fund an additional three rigs under these commercial terms.

BLAST ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
(FORMERLY VERDISYS, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
On August 5, 2005, Blast Energy entered into a letter of intent to contribute its interest in the Landers lateral drilling technology into a joint venture shared equally with RadTech North America (“RadTech”). Blast Energy would contribute its Landers sublicense for North America and RadTech would contribute management and drilling operations. The parties have agreed to enter into mutually acceptable documentation for the joint venture and the letter of intent is subject to Board approval of both parties.
On August 8, 2005, Blast Energy entered into a Term Sheet with Alberta Energy to purchase up to 50% of the abrasive jetting technology, for which Blast owns a worldwide exclusive license. Terms included the award to Alberta Energy of 3 million additional shares of Blast Energy with registration rights and a commitment to pay $2 million in future cash from potential sale of sublicense revenues. The parties also agreed to a number of modifications to the licensing and rig construction agreements. Key terms were an expanded definition of the technology, pricing of 750,000 warrants at $0.45, amended royalty rates, a new provision for each owner of the IP to offer a right of first refusal to the other owner to enter into new business ventures using the technology. Another new provision gives Alberta the option to build future rigs at invoice cost plus $50,000 per rig as well as adjusting the contract cost of the current rig by $50,000 to $900,000. Alberta has undertaken to deliver the rig on a best efforts basis by October 1, 2005. The Term Sheet is subject to board approvals and final documentation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements that are included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate”, “believe” and similar expressions and statements regarding our business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The forward-looking statements in this filing involve known risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results in future periods to be materially different from any future performance suggested in this report. Such factors may include, but are not limited to, the following risk factors: changes in technology, reservoir or sub-surface conditions, the introduction of new services, commercial acceptance and viability of new services, fluctuations in customer demand and commitments, pricing and competition, reliance upon subcontractors, the ability of our customers to pay for our services, together with such other risk factors as may be included in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
We have been striving to develop a commercially viable lateral drilling technology with the potential to penetrate through well casing and into reservoir formations to stimulate oil and gas production. In 2003, with the acquisition of exclusive rights to a proprietary horizontal drilling process we began to deploy lateral drilling services in the field. In 2004, it became apparent that this process was limited in its application and not able to succeed in a wide variety of oil and gas formations. After redesigning and improving the existing process and designing and testing some new capabilities, we continue to believe that we can deliver a valuable and cost effective production enhancement service to onshore oil and gas producers, particularly operators of marginal wells. The goal is to make this new service reliably predictable and consistently dependable for our customers. We are currently building our first new generation lateral drilling rig with the capability of abrasive fluid jetting by use of much higher hydraulic horsepower. Following favorable results and customer acceptance of this initial rig’s capabilities, we plan to order the construction of additional rigs and significantly grow the deployment of our abrasive jetting service. Funding for developing this abrasive cutting capability into commercial operation is expected to come from current and future capital commitments as well as from the proceeds of the assignment of the exclusive rights acquired in 2003. No assurances can be given that the capital from these sources will be adequate. If this is the case, we will be required to obtain additional capital from equity markets. No assurances can be given that such capital will be available or that the terms will be acceptable.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
Satellite Communications
Satellite Communications’ revenues increased by $74,000 to $236,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to $162,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase in revenue can be attributed to both new customers and an increase in service provided to existing customers. The operating margin from Satellite Communications improved by $17,000 to a margin of $25,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to $8,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. As this segment of our business grows, it benefits from economies of scale.
As hardware is sold, we recognize the revenue in the period it is delivered to the customer. There were no significant hardware sales during the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. We bill some of our bandwidth contracts in advance, but recognize the revenue over the period benefited.
Downhole Services
Downhole Services’ revenues decreased by $155,000 to $4,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to $159,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The revenue in 2005 is generated from the direct financing lease of one of our older rigs. Our drilling operations have ceased until such time as our new generation abrasive jetting rig is deployed, currently projected to occur in the third quarter of 2005. The revenues earned for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 were primarily associated with the Amvest Osage and Maxim Energy contracts and recovery of certain third party expenses from related parties.
The operating margin from Downhole Services decreased by $105,000 to a loss of $114,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to a loss of $9,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were primarily labor related as we continued the supervision of the construction of the new abrasive fluid jetting rig. Our negative margin results for the second quarter of 2004 highlighted the problems of consistency and reliability that we encountered with the old technology.

Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by $416,000 to $487,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to $903,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The following table details major components of SG&A expense over the periods.

Due to the lack of drilling activity during the second quarter of 2005, we focused on technology development and lowering our controllable overhead, which has resulted in a decrease in payroll, external services, travel and entertainment, communications and miscellaneous. The decrease in insurance expense can be attributable to a reduction in the premium for our directors and officers liability coverage. The liquidated damages incurred in the second quarter of 2004 related to our delay in registering shares that we sold in 2003.
Net Loss
The net loss for the second quarter of 2005 decreased to $723,000 from $1.0 million for the corresponding period in 2004. The decrease is attributable to the major revenue and expense items explained above. The tax benefit associated with our loss has been fully reserved as we have recurring net losses and it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

Satellite Communications’ revenues increased by $255,000 to $509,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $254,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in revenue can be attributed to both new customers and an increase in service provided to existing customers. The operating margin from Satellite Communications improved by $188,000 to a margin of $124,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to a loss of $64,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Due to the lack of drilling activity during the first six months of 2005, we focused on technology development and lowering our controllable overhead, which has resulted in a decrease in payroll, external services, travel and entertainment, office rent, communications and miscellaneous. The license fee during the first six months of 2004 was the result of a renegotiation of the Landers note payable and the calculation of license fees payable. The decrease in insurance expense can be attributable to a reduction in the premium for our directors and officers liability coverage. The liquidated damages incurred in 2004 relate to our delay in registering shares that we sold in 2003. The class action settlement expense is the value of the 1,150,000 shares of our common stock to be issued to settle the lawsuit and the plaintiff’s estimated legal fees of $55,000.
15
Net Loss
The net loss for the first six months of 2005 decreased to $1.9 million from $3.4 million for the corresponding period in 2004. The decrease is attributable to the major revenue and expense items explained above. The tax benefit associated with our loss has been fully reserved as we have recurring net losses and it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2005, our cash balance was $79,000 compared to a cash balance of $267,000 at December 31, 2004 and $167,000 at June 30, 2004. We continue to utilize cash, notes and stock to fund operations. On March 8, 2005 we agreed to sell our master license for the Landers lateral drilling technology for $1.3 million in cash to be received over four installments. However, we have retained a sub-license in the Landers technology. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we received $500,000 of the $1.3 million. We have entered into an amended contract with Maxim, which resulted in a $275,000 increase in the value of original Assignment of License Agreement (“Assignment”). The terms of the original Assignment required Maxim to make a $500,000 payment on June 3, 2005 and any delay of payment beyond a ten day period of the contracted payment date would cause a default of the contract which could be cured during a 45 day grace period if Maxim made a payment of $550,000 before the grace period expired. Maxim was unable to cure the default within the grace period, but Blast Energy and Maxim have entered into several amendments to extend the period to cure the default. The amendments have resulted in a extension of the due date until August 12, 2005, increased the final payment due on September 2, 2005 from $400,000 to $500,000 and assessed delinquency fees. As of August 5, 2005, Maxim has paid $135,000 towards the June 3, 2005 payment and has paid $175,000 in delinquency fees.
We have used these proceeds and loan advances from Berg McAfee to fund the construction of our new generation drilling rig. As of June 30, 2005, we had expended $590,000 towards the rig construction project and have a formal commitment of another $285,000. In addition, we expect to spend an additional $350,000 towards the rig construction, bringing the total cost of the rig to approximately $1.2 million.
We have $350,000 of convertible notes that become due on December 31, 2005 and a $50,000 note that is due on demand. In addition, we have $200,000 of convertible notes with related parties that mature on May 31, 2006. Both sets of convertible notes are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder and at the rate of one share for each $2.00 of principal and interest outstanding.
In February 2005, we entered into an Agreed Judgment and Order of Severance with Gryphon Master Fund, L.P. (“Gryphon”) as to all breach of contract claims related to our delay in registering common stock acquired by Gryphon in October 2003. Under the terms of the Agreed Judgment, we are obligated to pay liquidated damages of $0.5 million to Gryphon on or before September 30, 2005. Our current cash position is not sufficient to meet this obligation. Additional financing or positive cash flow from operations will be required to satisfy this obligation. No assurances can be given that such financing will be available, or, if available, on acceptable terms.
Our continued operating losses raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We are in an early stage of development and are rapidly depleting our cash resources, therefore we have determined that we will need additional financing in the short term to continue in operation and fund future growth. We currently plan to raise additional financing. The use of stock for currency in financing or making acquisitions has been heavily curtailed while we have been under SEC investigation (see Financial Note 17 to the December 31, 2004 Financial Statements). The company has arranged interim debt financing from Berg McAfee to build the initial rig. However, if we are unable to arrange new financing or generate sufficient cash flow from new business arrangements, we will be unable to continue in our current form and will be forced to restructure or seek creditor protection.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, we had capital expenditures of $340,000 and $590,000, respectively as compared to no capital expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. We expect to have capital expenditures of approximately $500,000 for the third quarter of 2005 relating to the construction of the abrasive jetting rig (see Note 8).
Subsequent Events
Blast Energy and Maxim have entered into an amended contract, which resulted in a $275,000 increase in the value of original Assignment of License Agreement (“Assignment”) dated March 8, 2005. The terms of the original Assignment required Maxim to make a $500,000 payment on June 3, 2005 and any delay of payment beyond a ten day period of the contracted payment date would cause a default of the contract which could be cured during a 45 day grace period if Maxim made a payment of $550,000 before the grace period expired. Maxim was unable to cure the default within the grace period, but Blast Energy and Maxim have entered into several amendments to extend the period to cure the default. The amendments have resulted in an extension of the due date until August 12, 2005, increased the final payment due on September 2, 2005 from $400,000 to $500,000 and assessed delinquency fees. As of August 5, 2005, Maxim has paid $135,000 towards the June 3, 2005 payment and has paid $175,000 in delinquency fees.
On July 15, 2005, Blast Energy entered into an agreement to develop its initial abrasive jetting rig with Berg McAfee Companies (BMC), a major shareholder. The arrangement involves two loans for a total of $1 million to fund the completion of the initial rig and sharing in the expected rig revenues for a ten-year period. As of August 11, 2005, Blast Energy had received $600,000 in funding under this agreement and is scheduled to receive the balance in several payments before the end of September 2005. Previously

announced negotiations to develop up to five abrasive jetting rigs in a profit sharing agreement with Advanced Drilling Systems did not materialize. Under the terms of the loan agreement with BMC, cash revenues will be shared on the basis of allocating 90 percent to Blast Energy and 10 percent to BMC for a ten-year period following repayment. After ten years, Blast Energy will receive all of the revenue from the rig. The loan, which has a senior and subordinated structure, carries an average interest rate of 7.4 % and is due September 15, 2006. BMC also has the option to fund an additional three rigs under these commercial terms.
On August 5, 2005, Blast Energy entered into a letter of intent to contribute its interest in the Landers lateral drilling technology into a joint venture shared equally with RadTech North America (“RadTech”). Blast Energy would contribute its Landers sublicense for North America and RadTech would contribute management and drilling operations. The parties have agreed to enter into mutually acceptable documentation for the joint venture and the letter of intent is subject to Board approval of both parties.
On August 8, 2005, Blast Energy entered into a Term Sheet with Alberta Energy to purchase up to 50% of the abrasive jetting technology, for which Blast owns a worldwide exclusive license. Terms included the award to Alberta Energy of 3 million additional shares of Blast Energy with registration rights and a commitment to pay $2 million in future cash from potential sale of sublicense revenues. The parties also agreed to a number of modifications to the licensing and rig construction agreements. Key terms were an expanded definition of the technology, pricing of 750,000 warrants at $0.45, amended royalty rates, a new provision for each owner of the IP to offer a right of first refusal to the other owner to enter into new business ventures using the technology. Another new provision gives Alberta the option to build future rigs at invoice cost plus $50,000 per rig as well as adjusting the contract cost of the current rig by $50,000 to $900,000. Alberta has undertaken to deliver the rig on a best efforts basis by October 1, 2005. The Term Sheet is subject to board approvals and final documentation.
