                             CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders

It has been a landmark year. The Moroccan project provided a significant
challenge for our new MD who rose to the occasion and steered the Company
through the ensuing turbulence.

Thanks to David's endeavours we have emerged with a new name, 88 Energy
Limited; a new project in Alaska and a recapitalised entity complimented by a
Board with in excess of 100 years of oil and gas experience. We look forward
with enthusiasm to the future that lies ahead.

The newly acquired Project Icewine on the North Slope of Alaska is a highly
leveraged opportunity into which 88 Energy has first mover advantage with
ground floor entry and operatorship. It's the type of opportunity a small
explorer should identify with if it desires to get on the front foot and make a
difference.

The North Slope of Alaska is a mature oil producing region, hosting the largest
onshore field in North America. Significant infrastructure is in place
including an all year round access road, the Dalton Highway, and the
TransAlaska Pipeline System (TAPS), both of which run through our newly
acquired Project Icewine.

Significantly, Project Icewine contains two play types that are considered
highly prospective with considerable upside. The conventional oil play is
ranked number 1 by the US Geological Survey for onshore exploration potential
in North America and the unconventional play has an independently estimated
gross unrisked mean prospective resource of 492 million barrels of recoverable
oil (being up to ~431 million barrels net to the Company based on an 87.5%
interest) from 8 billion barrels estimated oil in place. Project Icewine's
location on the only year round access road, adjacent to the TransAlaska
pipeline, means that any success we may have can be quickly monetised.

Frontier exploration by its very nature is characterised by high risk and high
rewards. There are no guarantees of success, however your Board is committed to
managing 88 Energy with competence and integrity in a way that maximises the
opportunity for shareholders to participate in the economic benefits of prudent
exploration and development.

On behalf of the Board, I welcome those new shareholders who participated in
the recent successful capital raising and thank our existing shareholders for
your continued support of the Company.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Evans
Non-Executive Chairman

Refer to the Independent Resource Report in the most recent Prospectus on the
Company website for details. Adjusting for the risk of geological success, this
equates to a gross mean prospective resource of 200 million barrels of
recoverable oil for Project Icewine (~175 million barrels net to the Company
based on an 87.5% working interest). The estimates of quantities of petroleum
that may potentially be recovered by the application of future development
project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an
associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration
appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a
significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons. Prospective resource
assessments were estimated using probabilistic methods in accordance with
SPE-PRMS standards.
