BANKERS PETROLEUM LIMITED: 3rd Quarter Results

Bankers Petroleum Demonstrates Strong Revenue and Funds from Operations Gains
in Third Quarter 2006

     Continued Momentum in U.S. Exploration Program While Expanding Scope
                           of Albanian Development

    Unless otherwise noted, all figures contained in this release are in
    U.S. dollars.

    CALGARY, Nov. 9 /CNW/ - Bankers Petroleum Ltd. (TSX: BNK, AIM: BNK) today
announced improved third quarter results. Revenue for the quarter more than
doubled to $9.2 million compared to $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2005.
Funds from operations were $3.0 million, compared to cash used in operations
of $94,000 for the comparable period in 2005.
     "Our results in Albania continue to improve due to the activities of our
strong operational team," said Richard Wadsworth, President. "Once again,
production, revenue and netback improved over the quarter and we anticipate
closing the year in a strong position. In addition, our enhanced oil pilot
project study is progressing, which we believe can increase production and
resource recovery beyond the primary development plan in place for the Patos
Marinza oilfield. We anticipate concluding our study and obtaining approvals
to proceed by year-end with first drilling in the second half of 2007."
    Mr. Wadsworth continued, "We've made significant steps in our U.S.
exploration program in a fairly short period of time. It's taken time to work
through the vast amount of data gained through the acquisition, but our
operational plans are coming together as expected. We're currently testing in
the Palo Duro basin in Texas, finished drilling our first well in Oklahoma and
are about to start our drilling program in New York. I'm pleased to report
that we are delivering on what we said we'd accomplish by year-end."

    Third Quarter Highlights:

    -   Average production increased 123% to 4,000 bopd from 1,793 bopd for
        the same period in 2005, and 25% compared to 3,193 bopd for the
        second quarter of 2006.

    -   Oil and gas revenue rose 149% to $9.2 million from $3.7 million in
        the comparable period in 2005, and 24% from $7.4 million in the
        second quarter of 2006.

    -   The netback in Albania improved to $12.44 per barrel from $11.09 in
        the preceding quarter and $6.49 per barrel for the same period in
        2005.

    -   Funds from operations decreased slightly to $3.0 million from
        $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, due to a large
        foreign exchange gain recorded during the second quarter. The Company
        used $94,000 of cash in operations for the third quarter of 2005.

    -   The $20.0 million debt financing was closed subsequent to the quarter
        with Raiffeisen Bank Sh. A., an Austrian bank based in Albania. The
        proceeds of this financing will be used in funding the on-going
        capital program in the Patos Marinza oilfield.

    -   Approximately 43% of the Company's crude oil was exported during the
        third quarter at an average of $30.81 per barrel.

    -   The Company expects its 2006 exit production rate will average
        between 4,400 to 4,600 bopd.

    -   The Misener No. 1 well has been successfully fracture stimulated in
        the upper 150 feet of the Bend Shale in Palo Duro, Texas, after a
        second stimulation attempt. The well is currently being tested.
        Bankers is currently isolating and testing individual zones in the
        Cogdell No.1-1 well to gather additional data to be incorporated into
        the fracture stimulation.

    -   In Oklahoma, the Nickel Hill No. 1-26 well reached its total target
        depth of 9,979 feet on November 3, 2006. Electric logs and sidewall
        cores are currently being analyzed so that a fracture stimulation
        program can be designed for perforation and fracture stimulation in
        December. The drilling rig is moving to Bankers' next well in Hughes
        County.

    -   The Company's first Trenton-Black River and Utica shale well, the
        Butler Creek No. 1, is expected to be spudded during the next week in
        New York.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

    The following is management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) of Bankers
Petroleum Ltd's (Bankers or the Company) operating and financial results for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, compared to the
preceding quarter and the corresponding period in the prior year, as well as
information and expectations concerning the Company's outlook based on
currently available information. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with
the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2006 and the audited consolidated financial
statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2005. Additional
information relating to Bankers, including its Annual Information Form, is on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at
www.bankerspetroleum.com. All dollar values are expressed in U.S. dollars,
unless otherwise indicated.
    This report is prepared as of November 9, 2006.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES

    Funds from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash provided
by (used in) operating activities, as per consolidated statements of cash
flows, before changes in non-cash working capital. The Company considers this
a key measure as it demonstrates its ability to generate the funds necessary
for future growth.
    Netback per barrel and its components are calculated by dividing revenue,
royalties, operating, sales and transportation expenses by the gross sales
volume during the period. Netback per barrel is a non-GAAP measure but it is
commonly used by oil and gas companies to illustrate the unit contribution of
each barrel produced.
    Net operating income is similarly a non-GAAP measure that represents
revenue net of royalties and operating expenses. The Company believes that net
operating income is a useful supplemental measure to analyze operating
performance and provides an indication of the results generated by the
Company's principal business activities prior to the consideration of other
income and expenses.
    The non-GAAP measures referred to above do not have any standardized
meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar
measures used by other companies.

    CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

    Certain information contained in this news release and MD&A respecting
the Company and the Company's properties constitute forward-looking
statements. The use of any of the words "target", "plans", "anticipate",

    Bankers continued to increase its production, revenues and funds from
operations during the third quarter of 2006:

    -   Average production during the quarter was 4,000 bopd compared to
        3,193 bopd for the preceding quarter and 1,793 bopd for the same
        period in 2005, increases of 25% and 123% respectively.

    -   Exit production for September 2006 was approximately 4,210 bopd.

    -   The netback in Albania improved to $12.44 per barrel from $11.09 per
        barrel in the preceding quarter and $6.49 per barrel for the same
        period in 2005, increases of 12% and 91% respectively.

    -   Higher production and prices resulted in increased revenues of
        $9.2 million for the quarter compared to $7.4 million in the
        preceding quarter and $3.7 million for the same period in 2005.

    -   Funds from operations were $3.0 million during the quarter compared
        to $3.3 million for the preceding quarter. The moderate decline in
        funds flow from operations related to a large foreign exchange gain
        recorded in the second quarter. The Company used $94,000 of its cash
        resources in operations for the same period in 2005.

    Albania

    The Company exported 43% of its crude during the third quarter at an
average price of $30.81 per barrel. In comparison, export made up 26% of the
sales during the second quarter at an average price of $31.61 per barrel. The
increased exports helped Bankers to weather declining oil prices. As a result,
the Company averaged $26.63 per barrel during the third quarter compared to
$25.64 per barrel for the second quarter.
    Other significant events during the quarter included:

    -   A scoping study for an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project was
        initiated in the Patos Marinza field. The evaluation, economic
        analysis and modeling of a thermal pilot project for the southern
        part of the field is progressing with approvals required to proceed
        with the project expected by year-end.

    -   Subsequent to the quarter, Bankers closed its $20.0 million debt
        financing with Raiffeisen Bank Sh. A. in Albania. The proceeds of
        this financing will be used in funding the on-going capital program
        in the Patos Marinza oilfield.

    United States

    -   In Palo Duro, Texas, the Misener No. 1 well has been successfully
        fracture stimulated in the upper 150 feet of the Bend Shale after a
        second stimulation attempt. The well is currently being tested as
        most of the fracture fluid has been recovered. Production rates have
        not been stable due to mechanical issues with the pumping unit;
        therefore a long enough test to determine sustained rates has not yet
        occurred.

        -   Previously, Bankers had initiated a small fracture stimulation in
            a lower Granite Wash sand interval. The testing of this interval
            resulted in the recovery of uneconomic quantities of oil.

        -   After an extended production test of the currently producing
            shale interval, the Company will decide whether to perforate and
            stimulate additional Bend Shale intervals in this well or whether
            a follow up horizontal well is warranted.

    -   Bankers is currently isolating and testing individual zones in the
        Cogdell No. 1-1 well to gather additional data. This data is being
        incorporated into the fracture stimulation of the Cogdell No. 1-1
        well along with information obtained from the Misener No. 1 well.
        After the Cogdell work is completed, it is expected that the Jones
        well will be perforated and a stimulation will be designed for the
        Bend Shale interval in the next two months.

    -   In Oklahoma, the Nickel Hill No. 1-26 well was spudded in October and
        reached its total target depth of 9,979 feet on November 3. While the
        main target is the Woodford shale, the Caney shale as well as other
        secondary target zones are also being evaluated. Electric logs and
        sidewall cores are currently being analyzed so that a fracture
        stimulation program can be designed. It is anticipated that the well
        will be perforated and fracture stimulated in December.

        -   The drilling rig that Bankers has under contract is moving to
            Hughes County to begin drilling the Lake Holdenville No. 35-1
            well. This well is also primarily targeting the Woodford shale
            and will have an expected total depth of 6,500 feet.

    -   The Company is about to spud its first Trenton-Black River and Utica
        shale well, the Butler Creek No. 1, during the next week in upstate
        New York. This well has an expected total depth of 3,700 feet.

        -   In addition, Bankers is currently waiting on equipment to be able
            to fracture stimulate two existing wells in New York. One of the
            wells had an initial unstimulated production rate of 300 mcf/d of
            gas, which declined to a 30 day stabilized rate of about 15 mcf/d
            after nine months of production.


    DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS

    Production and Revenue

    During the quarter, production continued to increase as more wells were
re-activated in Albania, bringing the active well count to 114 from 85 in the
preceding quarter. As at September 30, 2006, the Company also had 41 wells
waiting for servicing and reactivation. Average production increased 25% to
4,000 bopd from 3,193 bopd for the preceding quarter and 123% from 1,793 bopd
from the same period a year ago. The exit production rate was approximately
4,210 bopd at September 30, 2006, and further production increases are
continuing into the fourth quarter although at a lesser rate due to the impact
of more difficult seasonal weather conditions.
    Bankers sells a portion of its crude oil to Armo Sh. A., an Albanian
state owned refining and marketing organization (ARMO) pursuant to an
agreement under which the price per barrel is determined by reference to Brent
crude oil with caps and collars adjusted for quality. The average price
received from ARMO during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $23.48 per
barrel compared to $23.58 per barrel for the preceding quarter and $22.28 per
barrel for the same period a year earlier.
    Bankers has the right to export all of its production. The Company
exported approximately 43% of its crude oil to Italy during the quarter at an
average price of $30.81 per barrel. During the preceding quarter, the Company
exported 26% of its crude at an average price of $31.61 per barrel. The
Company intends to maintain the current level of exports however increasing
production will result in declines in the proportionate share of exports until
arrangements are made to further increase export capability.
    The Company's average oil price for the quarter was $26.63 per barrel, up
from $25.64 per barrel for the preceding quarter. The increased exports helped
the Company to increase its average oil price at a time of declining oil
prices.
    Oil and gas revenues for the quarter were $9.2 million up from
$7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, and $3.7 million for the
corresponding quarter a year ago, increases of 24% and 149% respectively. The
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $22.3 million
compared to $9.1 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of 145%.

    Royalties, Direct Expenses and Netbacks

    Royalties are calculated pursuant to the Petroleum Agreement with
Albpetrol Sh. A (Albpetrol) in Albania, and consist of Albpetrol's
pre-existing production and a 1% gross overriding royalty on production.
Royalties increased slightly to $3.04 per barrel from $2.98 per barrel in the
preceding quarter. The royalties averaged $2.59 per barrel for the
corresponding period in 2005. The increase in royalties over the last year was
related to the greater number of wells being taken over from Albpetrol which
resulted in higher pre-existing production.
    Operating expenses per barrel declined moderately to $9.05 per barrel
from $9.91 per barrel in the preceding quarter and $12.23 per barrel for the
same period in 2005. The Company successfully reduced unit operating costs
from $15.68 per barrel in March 2005 to its current levels through operating
efficiencies and economies of scale. A significant portion of Bankers'
operating costs are well servicing related costs, which will fluctuate from
period to period. However, it is anticipated that economies of scale resulting
from higher production will continue to impact unit operating costs positively
into the future.
    Sales and transportation expenses increased to $2.10 per barrel from
$1.66 per barrel in the preceding quarter and $0.97 per barrel for the same
period in 2005. This increase was directly related to incremental costs of
additional transportation, inspection and port fees associated with crude oil
exports. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company exported 43%
of its crude compared to 26% for the preceding quarter. Bankers had not yet
commenced exports during the corresponding period in 2005.
    The Company's netback per barrel improved to $12.44 per barrel from
$11.09 per barrel in the preceding quarter and $6.49 per barrel for the same
period in 2005. The improvements in netbacks resulted from higher oil prices
received as a result of exports and the reduction in unit operating costs.

    General and Administrative Expenses

    General and administrative expenses for the quarter were $1.4 million
compared to 1.5 million for the preceding quarter and $1.4 million for the
same period in 2005, which included non-recurring charges of approximately
$594,000 related to the listing of the Company's common shares on the AIM
Market. The increase in general and administrative expenses reflects higher
personnel costs with the addition of new employees and higher consulting fees
and travel expenses related to the Company's operating and financing
activities.
    During the quarter, the Company capitalized general and administrative
expenses of $325,000 compared to $269,000 for the preceding quarter and
$143,000 for the same period in 2005 in Albania and the United States. These
expenses were directly related to acquisition, exploration and development
activities.

    Depletion, Depreciation and Accretion

    Depletion, depreciation and accretion expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006, were $1.2 million compared to $961,000 for the preceding
quarter and $649,000 for the same period in 2005. The increase in depletion,
depreciation and accretion expenses reflects higher production and increase in
depletable assets.

    Future Income Tax Expense

    The net book value of the Albanian assets exceed their tax values by
$6.1 million due to depletion and depreciation expenses not being deductible
for income tax purposes in Albania. Future income tax expense was calculated
at the rate of 50% on the incremental difference between the net book and tax
values of the Albanian assets.

    Loss for the Period and Funds from Operations

    The Company recorded a loss of $208,000 ($0.00 per share) during the
quarter compared to a loss of $253,000 ($0.00 per share) for the preceding
period and $315,000 ($0.00 per share) for the same period in 2005. The loss
for the nine month period was $1.5 million ($0.00 per share) compared to a
loss of $2.7 million ($0.01 per share) for the same period in 2005.
    Bankers generated funds from operations of $3.0 million during the third
quarter compared to $3.3 million for the preceding quarter. The moderate
decline in funds flow from operations was related to a $1.3 million foreign
exchange gain recorded in the second quarter. The Company used $94,000 of its
cash resources in operations for the same period in 2005.
    Funds from operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006
were $6.9 million compared to funds used in operations of $821,000 for the
same period a year ago, a turn around of $7.7 million.

    The Company incurred $7.9 million on well reactivations in Albania during
the quarter. The balance of the expenditures was incurred as follows:
construction of the pad facilities - $495,000; the central treatment
facilities - $609,000; and miscellaneous asset acquisitions and capitalized
G&A. The Company spent $3.0 million in capital expenditures in Albania for the
same period in 2005 which were primarily incurred on well re-activations.
    In the United States, Bankers spent $2.1 million on the drilling and
evaluation costs of the Misener No. 1, Jones No. 1, Stansell No. 1 and Nickel
Hill No. 1-26 wells. Approximately $865,000 was related to lease acquisition
costs, including bonus and rental payments and other asset acquisitions. The
balance was capitalized general and administrative expenses. Bankers spent
$2.3 million on lease acquisitions in the United States for the same period in
2005.

    ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

    Bankers estimated its undiscounted asset retirement obligations in
Albania as $9.0 million based on the 195 wells taken over from Albpetrol to
date. This amount will be settled at the end of the Company's 25-year license.
The net present value of $1.0 million of asset retirement obligations was
estimated based on a credit-adjusted risk free rate of 9%. Asset retirement
obligations were increased to 1.1 million at September 30, 2006, as a result
of accretion.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At September 30, 2006, Bankers had a working capital of $7.7 million and
no debt. In addition, the Company had $10.3 million in field inventory and
prepayments to suppliers of $2.4 million in Albania, which were reported as
part of the property, plant and equipment. The capital expenditures for the
balance of the year are estimated at $8.0 million for Albania and $6.0 million
for the U.S. The current field inventory levels and the outstanding prepaid
orders are expected to be more than sufficient for well reactivations in
Albania during the balance of 2006. The cash capital expenditures in Albania
will be payments to local contractors in Albania estimated at $3.0 to
$4.0 million, which will be largely financed by funds from operations.
    In October 2006, Bankers completed its $20.0 million debt financing with
an Austrian financial institution based in Albania to fund the ongoing capital
expenditures in the country. The facility is comprised of a $15.0 million term
loan payable over five years bearing an interest rate of one year London
Interbank Overnight Rate (LIBOR) plus 4.5%; and a $5.0 million revolving line
of credit bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5%. The facility is secured
by all of the assets of Bankers Petroleum Albania Ltd., the Company's wholly
owned subsidiary, assignment of proceeds from the domestic and export crude
oil sales contracts, a pledge of the common shares of Bankers Petroleum
Albania Ltd., and a guarantee by the Company.
    The Company expects that the funds to be generated by operations in
Albania during 2007, the current levels of field inventory, and the available
debt facility will be sufficient to fund Albanian capital expenditures for
fiscal 2007.
    The U.S. capital expenditures for the balance of the year will be funded
by the current working capital. The 2007 capital expenditure program will be
geared towards the results of current activities. The funding for these
activities may be generated from a combination of equity and debt financing or
joint venture arrangements. There is no assurance that Bankers will be able to
secure the necessary funds through these means.

    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    Bankers contracts with Simmons Drilling (Overseas) Limited, (Simmons) for
the provision of rigs and other oil well services at industry competitive
rates. Victor Redekop, a Director of Bankers, is a principal shareholder and
officer of Simmons. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company
transacted $2.1 million of services with Simmons as compared to $2.5 million
for the preceding quarter and $1.3 million for the corresponding period in
2005. The services of Simmons can be terminated upon 60 days notice at the
election of the Company.
    During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, Bankers incurred legal fees
of $33,000 in transactions with the firm of DuMoulin Black LLP, of which the
corporate secretary of the Company is a partner. The legal fees charged by
DuMoulin Black were $207,000 for the preceding quarter and $60,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2005.
    Bankers also paid $13,000 (three months ended June 30, 2006 - $13,000;
three months ended September 30, 2005 - $Nil) for rent and office services to
a company related by way of common directors.

    COMMITMENTS

    In March 2006, the Company's Plan of Development for the Patos Marinza
heavy oilfield in Albania was approved by the National Petroleum Agency of
Albania (NPA). Under the Plan of Development, the Company estimated the
remaining capital expenditures as at January 1, 2006 between $155.0 million to
$213.0 million during the life of the Patos Marinza project.
    The estimated capital expenditures during the next five years are as
follows:

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Under the Petroleum Agreement, Bankers is required to submit an annual
program to NPA which includes the nature and the amount of capital
expenditures to be incurred during that year. Significant deviations in this
annual program from the Plan of Development will be subject to NPA approval.
The Petroleum Agreement provides that disagreements between the parties will
be referred to an independent expert whose decision will be binding. The
Company has the right to relinquish a portion or all of the contract area. If
only a portion of the contract area is relinquished then the Company will
continue to conduct petroleum operations on the portion it retains and the
future capital expenditures will be adjusted accordingly. In the event that
Bankers is not able to generate sufficient capital resources, it may be
required to renegotiate the Plan of Development or relinquish all or part of
the contract area.
    The Company has so far incurred $31.0 million in capital expenditures
towards the 2006 program.
    The Company has no commitments under operating leases for office space
and equipment.

    OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

    There were approximately 411 million shares outstanding on September 30,
2006 and November 8, 2006. In addition, the Company had approximately
39 million stock options, warrants and compensation options outstanding as of
the same dates.

    PRINCIPAL BUSINESS RISKS

    Bankers' business and results of operations are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following:
    Exploration, development, production and marketing of oil and natural gas
involves a wide variety of risks which include but are not limited to the
uncertainty of finding oil and gas in commercial quantities, securing markets
for existing reserves, commodity price fluctuations, exchange and interest
rate exposure and changes to government regulations, including regulations
relating to prices, taxes, royalties and environmental protection. The oil and
gas industry is intensely competitive and the Company competes with a large
number of companies with greater resources.
    Bankers' ability to increase its reserves in the future will depend not
only on its ability to develop its current properties but also on its ability
to acquire new prospects and producing properties. The acquisition,
exploration and development of new properties also require that sufficient
capital from outside sources will be available to the Company in a timely
manner. The availability of equity or debt financing is affected by many
factors many of which are beyond the control of the Company.
    Bankers has a significant investment in Albania. There are a number of
risks associated with conducting foreign operations over which the Company has
no control, including political instability, potential and actual civil
disturbances, ability to repatriate funds, changes in laws affecting foreign
ownership and existing contracts, environmental regulations, oil and gas
prices, production regulations, royalty rates, income tax law changes,
potential expropriation of property without fair compensation and restriction
on exports. Additional risks that may affect the Company and its operations
are set out in its AIF filed under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com.

    OUTLOOK

    The continued success in well re-completions indicates that Bankers' exit
production for 2006 will exceed the previously revised target of 4,200 bopd
and will likely average between 4,400 to 4,600 bopd. Well activity tends to be
lower during the first and fourth quarters of the year due to winter weather
conditions in Albania. The recent decline in the crude oil prices since July
2006 will impact the Company's export price negatively. Export crude oil
prices are expected to average around $27.00 to $28.00 per barrel during the
fourth quarter as compared to the nearly $31.00 per barrel realized during the
third quarter. As a result, Bankers expects its net back to decline to
approximately $11.00 per barrel in the fourth quarter from $12.44 per barrel
in the current quarter. This decline in netback will be somewhat offset by
production increases. The overall decline in the Company's net operating
income in the fourth quarter as a result of lower oil prices is not expected
to be material.
    In the United States, Bankers continues to explore its newly acquired
basins by drilling the first wells in Oklahoma and New York. No revenue is
currently estimated to be generated from the U.S. operations during the year.
The Company is projecting to be able to outline a comprehensive plan for its
U.S. properties in the first quarter of 2007. Future plans will be based on
the results of the exploration programs currently underway in Texas, Oklahoma
and New York.

    Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
    (unaudited, expressed in U.S. dollars)
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
        accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
        (GAAP). The preparation of interim financial statements is based on
        accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the
        preparation of annual financial statements. Certain information and
        note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
        in accordance with Canadian GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
        These interim consolidated financial statements should be read
        together with the audited consolidated financial statements and the
        accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the
        opinion of the Company, its unaudited interim consolidated financial
        statements contain all adjustments necessary in order to present a
        fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.

        The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts
        of the Company, Bankers Petroleum Albania Ltd. (formerly Bankers
        International Energy Ltd), and Bankers Petroleum (U.S.) Inc., its
        wholly-owned subsidiaries.

        Unless where otherwise noted, the unaudited interim consolidated
        financial statements and their accompanying notes are presented in
        thousands of United States dollars.

        Certain prior period figures have been re-classified to conform to
        the current period's presentation.

        equipment as at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

                                 --------------------------------------------

        In March 2006, the Company's Plan of Development in Albania for the
        Patos Marinza field was approved by the National Petroleum Agency
        (NPA). This approval allows Bankers to take-over the remaining wells
        in the field on a basis consistent with the Plan of Development and
        produce and sell oil under the existing license agreement for a
        period of 25 years with an option to extend at the Company's election
        for further five year increments.

        In May 2006, the Company closed an acquisition of oil and gas
        properties in the United States. The purchase price for the assets
        was $30 million of which $20 million was satisfied by the issuance of
        25,971,715 common shares of the Company with a fair market value of
        CAD $0.877 per share. The balance was paid in cash. As part of the
        transaction an additional $1 million cash payment was made to third
        parties to settle competing claims in respect of some of the acquired
        acreage.

        The Company capitalized general and administrative expenses of
        $325,000 and $825,000 during the three and nine months period ended
        September 30, 2006 ($143,000 and $418,000 for the corresponding
        periods in 2005) in Albania and the United States that were directly
        related to exploration and development activities.

        Depletion for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included
        $81 million (2005- $123 million) for estimated future development
        costs associated with proved undeveloped reserves in Albania.

    3.  ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

        Prior to the approval of its Plan of Development, the Company did not
        make a provision for asset retirement obligations in Albania as there
        was no legal obligation during the evaluation period. Subsequent to
        approval in March 2006, the Company estimated the total undiscounted
        amount required to settle the asset retirement obligations at
        $9,038,000. These obligations will be settled at the end of the
        Company's 25-year license. The undiscounted liability has been
        discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate of 9%.
        Currently the Company has no significant asset retirement obligations
        for its oil and gas properties in the United States.

        (d) Compensation Options

        In connection with the November 2004 private placement, the brokers
        were issued 1,856,182 compensation options exercisable to purchase
        units of the Company at a price of $0.55 per unit. Each unit consists
        of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase
        warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
        common share at $0.95 until November 10, 2009. As at September 30,
        2006, 584,636 of the compensation options issued were outstanding.

        (e) Stock-based Compensation

        Using the fair value method for stock-based compensation, the Company
        recorded a charge to earnings of $706,000 and $2,450,000 for the
        three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 ($375,000 and
        $1,288,000 for the same periods in 2005) for the stock options vested
        and/or granted to officers, directors, employees and service
        providers. The Company determined these amounts using the Black-
        Scholes option pricing model assuming no dividends were paid. The
        weighted average fair market value per option granted in the three
        and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the
        assumption used in their determination were as follows:

    7.  COMMITMENT

        In March 2006, the Company's Plan of Development for the Patos
        Marinza heavy oilfield in Albania was approved by the NPA. Under the
        Plan of Development submitted to NPA, the Company estimated the
        remaining capital expenditures as at January 1, 2006 between
        $155 million to $213 million during the life of the Patos Marinza
        project. The estimated capital expenditures during the next five
        years are as follows:

        The Petroleum Agreement stipulates that the Company submit to NPA
        each year an annual program which includes the nature and the amount
        of capital expenditures to be incurred in that year. Significant
        deviations in this annual program from the Plan of Development will
        be subject to NPA approval. Disagreements between the parties will be
        referred to an independent expert whose decision will be binding.

        The Company has the right to relinquish a portion or all of the
        contract area. If only a portion of the contract area is relinquished
        then the Company will continue to conduct petroleum operations on the
        portion it retained and the future capital expenditures will be
        adjusted accordingly.

        The Company spent $31 million towards its 2006 commitment during the
        nine month period ended September 30, 2006.
