Part III – Narrative

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As previously disclosed on March 30, 2011, GeoMet, Inc. (the “Company”) has responded to comments from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) regarding the ultimate realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets. We are continuing to work with the SEC on our position with regard to our deferred tax assets.

At this time, it is premature to conclude as to the impact, if any, from our ultimate resolution of the outstanding issue regarding our deferred tax assets. Because the Company’s response is currently under review by the staff of the Commission, the Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010 are preliminary. As a result, the Company has not been able to finalize the financial results to be included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company intends to complete this process and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 within the fifteen-day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25.
