Suite101.com, Inc.
VANCOUVER, March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Suite101.com, Inc. (OTC BB: BOWG) announced today that it has entered into an option agreement with Double B Holdings, LLC, a privately-owned non-affiliated entity, granting Double B the right to purchase the website assets owned and operated by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, i5ive communications, inc. These assets, which include primarily property, plant and equipment, had a book value of $132,000, as of September 30, 2001, after accumulated amortization of $118,000. During the two years and nine months ended September 30, 2001, these assets produced revenues of $1,925, $1,620 and $12,043, respectively. During the two years and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company had other income, net, which was primarily interest income, of $146,000, $378,000 and $167,000, respectively. The terms of the option agreement provide that Double B, in consideration of a non-refundable payment of $15,000, has the right to purchase the assets for a period of thirty days and, in consideration of a further non-refundable payment of an additional $30,000, has the right for an additional thirty days. The option, including the possible extension, will expire on May 14, 2002. The purchase price for the assets under the option agreement is $155,000 less the non-refundable payments which are applied to the purchase price, plus a 26% interest in Double B and a 5% common stock interest held by Double B in Blue Frogg Enterprises, Inc., a privately-owned company controlled by the owners of Double B. In the event the option is exercised, the Company's subsidiary, i5ive, is required to pay at the closing to Double B $155,000 less a sum equal to the management fees paid to Creative Marketeam Canada, Ltd. from March 1, 2002 through the closing. Double B also is assigned and assumes at the closing i5ive's rights and obligations under various vendor and supplier contracts and leases.
i5ive and Double B intend to enter into a separate agreement that will establish a value for i5ive's interest in Double B in the event Double B is acquired by Blue Frogg. The definitive terms of that agreement are to be negotiated; however, the value of Double B is to be based on the higher of four times the EBITDA of Double B or $350,000, with i5ive entitled to receive 26% of that sum in the event of the acquisition of Double B by Blue Frogg.

NEWS RELEASE
Vancouver, British Columbia, July 17, 2002 - Suite101.com, Inc. (OTC BB: BOWG) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, i5ive Communications, Inc.,had completed the sale of its Website assets to Creative Marketeam Canada, Ltd. In consideration for the assets, Marketeam issued to i5ive a 15% equity interest in Marketeam and agreed that in the event the assets are resold by Marketeam within one (1) year, a sum equal to the proceeds of the sale would be paid over to i5ive.
Marketeam provided management and operating services to i5ive during the period February 1, 2002 through May 31, 2002. Marketeam is currently owned by Douglas F. Loblaw, a Director of Suite101 and former Chief Operating Officer of Suite101. The i5ive assets sold to Marketeam were the subject of an option agreement entered into in March 2002 with an unaffiliated party which option agreement expired in May, 2002 without having been exercised. The sale of the i5ive assets to Marketeam was unanimously approved by Messrs. Blumberg, Campbell and Peters constituting all Suite101's directors not having any interest in the transaction.
The sale of these assets was a result of a determination of the Board of Directors of Suite101 made in December 2001 to seek to redirect the Company's activities in an effort to enhance and maximize shareholder values. Subsequently, Suite101 substantially discontinued its active management and operation of the Website assets in order to conserve its cash assets. The Website assets were not producing any material revenues and were contributing to an outflow of cash. Management of Suite101 is currently seeking to redirect its activities into another area of business and it is expected that this will involve a business combination or other material transaction. As of July 17, 2002, there are no definitive agreements or agreements in principle relating to the acquisition of any other business activity by Suite101.
This Press Release may contain statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of Suite101.com, Inc., its directors, or its officers with respect to the future business plans and activities of the Company. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future business activities or changes in those activities and involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's future business activities involve significant risks, including among others, its possible inability to successfully redirect the Company's activities or enter into any related agreements.

suite101.com
but it is now 100% private. They make some money selling books, email, homepages and courses and save much on filing fees that a public company is required to do.
So now, the shell company BOWG is just $3M in cash waiting for a new business. It seems to be priced right at cash value from what I can determine and the shell company has bought back over half the shares so far from what I have heard.

Suite101.com, Inc. Announces Preliminary Negotiations to Acquire Unproved Minority Oil and Gas Interest
Wednesday January 22, 4:19 pm ET
biz.yahoo.com
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Suite101.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BOWG - News) announced today that it is engaged in preliminary negotiations to acquire a minority interest in an unproved overseas offshore natural gas and oil exploration block. No agreements or letter of intent have been signed and no final terms for any transaction have been agreed to. The underlying rights to the exploration block are the subject of ongoing negotiations. A transaction will be subject to due diligence by the Company if and when a letter of intent and agreement are entered into. The Company has not conducted any material due diligence to date.
As presently under consideration, the minority interest would be acquired principally in exchange for shares of common stock of the Company. The issuance of the number of shares under consideration would result in a change of control of the Company, including a change in a majority of its Board of Directors. In addition, the Company's participation may require it to provide material amounts of capital which is not and may not become available to it. Such capital, if it is raised, would be effected through a sale of shares of common stock in a private offering of securities intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
There can be no assurance that any agreement will be entered into to acquire the minority interest. In addition, even if a transaction is entered into, the transaction would involve material risks to the Company, including the possibility that no commercial quantities of natural gas or oil will be discovered on the exploration block.
In early 2002, management of the Company determined to redirect the Company's activities and it disposed of its Website assets.
This Press Release may contain statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of Suite101.com, Inc., its directors, or its officers with respect to the future business plans and activities of the Company. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future business activities or changes in those activities and involve risks and uncertainties. There are numerous risks and uncertainties involved in the Company's negotiations to acquire the minority interest and there can be no assurance that any such a transaction will be entered into or will be commercially successful. The Company's future business activities involve significant risks, including among others, its possible inability to successfully redirect the Company's activities or enter into any related agreements. Additional important factors that could cause such differences are described in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB.

biz.yahoo.com
CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Suite101.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BOWG) announced today that it has closed its agreement to acquire all the outstanding capital stock of GeoGlobal Resources (India) Inc. ("GeoGlobal") in exchange for shares of common stock of Suite101.com, Inc. (the "Company").
GeoGlobal holds a net 5% carried interest in the oil and gas exploration block KG-OSN-2001/03, also referred to as Block 7 under National Exploration Licensing Policy III (NELP III), offshore the east coast of India covering approximately 457,000 acres. GeoGlobal's interest will be carried for 100% of its entire share of any costs during the exploration phase prior to the start date of initial commercial production.
The shares of GeoGlobal were acquired from Jean Paul Roy pursuant to an April 4, 2003 agreement in exchange for 34 million shares of the Company's common stock. Of such shares, the Company issued and delivered to Mr. Roy 14.5 million shares at the closing and delivered to Mr. Roy a (US) $2.0 million promissory. The note bears no interest, as amended subsequent to entering into the April 4, 2003 agreement, (US) $500,000 of the note was paid at the closing and the balance is payable as to (US) $500,000 on October 15, 2003, (US) $500,000 on January 15, 2004 and (US) $500,000 on June 30, 2004. The note is to be secured by the capital stock of GeoGlobal. The remaining 19.5 million shares were issued to Mr. Roy in escrow whereby 14.5 million shares will be released for delivery to Mr. Roy only if the results of a 3D seismic program conducted on the exploration block during the initial exploration phase establishes the existence of a commercial basis for the commencement of an exploratory drilling program, or upon the actual commencement of a drilling program. The final 5.0 million shares will be released only if a commercial discovery is declared on the exploration block. Shares not released to Mr. Roy from the escrow will be surrendered back to the Company. Mr. Roy has the voting rights of the shares during the term of the escrow. GeoGlobal has also acquired a right of first refusal to purchase a 5% carried interest in the Exploration Block that Mr. Roy will retain, subject to Government of India approval, through his affiliated company. As part of the transaction, Mr. Roy has agreed to bring other opportunities to the Company for an initial term of three years. In addition, the Company has entered into a three-year Technical Services Agreement with a corporation owned by Mr. Roy at a consideration of (US) $250,000 per year.
As a result of the transaction, the Company has 48,815,021 shares of common stock outstanding and options to purchase 80,000 shares at $1.50 for up to one year and 238,334 shares at per share prices averaging approximately $0.255 for 15 days from closing.
The directors of the Company are Jean Paul Roy of Guatemala City, Guatemala, Allan J. Kent of Calgary, Alberta, John Campbell of Vancouver, British Columbia and Brent Peters of Toronto, Ontario. The officers of the Company are Jean Paul Roy, President and CEO and Allan J. Kent, Executive Vice President and CFO and Patti Price of Calgary, Corporate Secretary. The head office of the Company has moved from Toronto to Suite 200, 630- 4th Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta. Subject to stockholder approval, the name of the Company will be changed to GeoGlobal Resources Inc. or such other name as is selected by the Board.
Other than its net 5% carried interest in the exploration block, GeoGlobal has no revenues or material operations. The transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
GeoGlobal, Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited and Jubilant Enpro Limited are parties to a Production Sharing Contract dated February 4, 2003 with The Government of India which grants to the contractors the right to conduct seismic surveying and exploratory drilling activities on exploration block KG-OSN-2001/3 for a period of up to 6-1/2 years. Under the first of the three phases of exploration operations, fourteen exploration wells are to be drilled over a period of up to 2-1/2 years. Under the remaining two phases of the exploration operations, an additional six exploration wells are to be drilled.
There can be no assurance that the exploratory drilling will result in any discovery of hydrocarbons or that any hydrocarbons as are discovered will be in commercially recoverable quantities. In addition, the realization of any revenues from commercially recoverable hydrocarbons is dependent upon the ability to deliver, store and market any hydrocarbons that are discovered. The presence of hydrocarbon reserves on contiguous properties is no assurance or necessary indication that hydrocarbons will be found on Block KG-OSN- 2001/3. The block is a highly speculative exploration opportunity.
GeoGlobal's carried interest position arises out of an agreement it entered into with Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited whereby GeoGlobal is carried for 100% of its share of any costs incurred during the three-phase exploration operations. Under the terms of the carried interest agreement, GeoGlobal will not receive any share of any production from the exploration block until Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited has recovered GeoGlobal's share of the expenses it paid.

Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of the success of the Company's future business activities or changes in those activities and involve risks and uncertainties. There are numerous risks and uncertainties involved in the Company's acquisition of the unproved minority interest in the exploration area, including the possibilities that no discoveries of hydrocarbons are made on the exploration block or, if discovered, that such discoveries are not determined to be commercially productive. Additional risks and uncertainties arise out of seeking to do business overseas in India where political and other world events may disrupt the Company's plans and intentions. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be commercially successful or result in material revenues to the Company. Additional important risk factors are described in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB.

I have some excellent sources in Guatemala City and am going to inquire about this Jean Paul Roy. Hopefully, they are on the internet or visiting in the US, because snail mail will take forever to get a reply.
From your alias, it appears we share the same sirname, down to the final "e".
IMO, There is nothing like a DANE!
. . . or are you of other Scandinavian descent?
Happy Labor Day!

Any information that you can find would be appreciated. BOWG now has a market cap in excess of $70 million. Pretty amazing. A strange odyssey for the shell. From Neuro Navigational Corporation to Kinetics to Suite.101 to GeoGlobal Resources.
No alias. I am always careful to correct people, "en, not on, Danish, not Swedish." Danes rule!
Hope you had a good holiday.
