2013 SECOND QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS



--  Total corporate funds flow from operations for the second quarter of
    2013 were $6.5 million compared with $5.7 million for the first quarter
    of 2013 and $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. Funds flow from
    operations per share was $0.11 for the second quarter of 2013. 
    
--  In the second quarter of 2013 there was a net loss attributable to
    common shareholders of $97.7 million, or $1.73 per share, compared with
    net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.3 million, or $0.01
    per share, for the first quarter of 2013 and $79.3 million, or $1.40 per
    share, for the second quarter of 2012. The net loss in the second
    quarter of 2013 resulted from a $99.6 million write-down of exploration
    and evaluation assets associated with the Citarum and South CPP
    Production Sharing Contracts ("PSC's") in Indonesia. In July 2013 Pan
    Orient announced that at Citarum PSC the Company was discontinuing
    drilling and initiating a farm-out process to seek a partner to continue
    exploration, and the Company intends to relinquish the South CPP PSC
    after review of the recent seismic data acquired. Net income
    attributable to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2012 had
    included an after tax gain of approximately $77.3 million on the
    disposition of certain subsidiaries in Thailand. 
    
--  Capital expenditures were $38.0 million for the second quarter of 2013
    with $19.1 million in Thailand, $16.6 million in Indonesia and $2.3
    million in Canada. Capital expenditures were partially funded by the
    $6.6 million of Thailand funds flow from operations and the remainder
    through existing working capital. 
    
--  At June 30, 2013 Pan Orient had $54.3 million of working capital and
    non-current deposits, and no long-term debt. In addition, Pan Orient had
    $8.7 million of equipment inventory to be utilized for future Thailand
    and Indonesia operations which is included in exploration and evaluation
    assets in the consolidated statement of financial position.  
    
--  Thailand 
    
    --  In the second quarter of 2013 Concession L53 averaged oil sales of
        955 BOPD and generated $6.6 million in after tax funds flow from
        operations, or $76.27 per barrel. This compares with oil sales in
        the first quarter of 2013 of 819 BOPD and $5.9 million in after tax
        funds flow from operations, or $79.55 per barrel. Compared with the
        first quarter of 2013, oil sales increased 17% with the addition of
        new wells brought on during the quarter, principally the L53-G2 and
        L53-DC3 wells. 
        
    --  Oil sales in July 2013 from Concession L53 were 786 BOPD and
        estimated oil sales over the past 30 days has averaged 737 BOPD.
        Current Thailand oil production is approximately 894 BOPD, which
        includes the L53-G4 well which has just commenced test production
        and excludes the L53-G2 well which has been shut-in since July 14th
        when it completed its 90 day production test period, at which time
        it was producing approximately 301 BOPD. 
        
        The Company has submitted an application for an additional 90 day
        test period for the L53-G2 well and is expecting a response shortly.
        At this time we have no way of knowing if this 90 day test period
        extension will be granted. The L53-G2 well drilled in late March
        2013 was a new pool discovery outside the existing production
        license areas and a production license and associated environmental
        approval is required for the new L53-G field before permanent
        production can commence. The Company applied for the new production
        license for the L53-G oil pool in mid-August. Until a production
        license is granted and environmental approval received for the L53-G
        field, wells in the L53-G field (including L53-G2, L53-G3ST3 and
        L53-G4) are shut-in at the end of their respective 90 day test
        periods as per government regulations. Historically, it has been an
        approximately 90 day period from the submission of the production
        license application to approval. Production environmental approval
        has historically taken substantially longer than 90 days, but in a
        number of cases approval has been granted to extend the 90 day
        production test period until the environmental approval has been
        received. 
        
        Pan Orient drilled the L53-G4 appraisal well in July to complete
        this current drilling program. The well has just commenced testing
        and is currently producing approximately 147 BOPD with a water cut
        of 1.4% from the deepest of three potential zones within the "K40-C"
        sandstone interval. These results are from a very early cleanup
        stage in the testing with the stabilized longer term production rate
        likely to decrease from this initial rate. 
        
    --  On a per barrel basis, after tax funds flow from operations of
        $76.27 in the second quarter of 2013 was consistent with the first
        quarter of 2013 and resulted from oil sales of $97.47,
        transportation expenses of $1.62, operating expenses of $10.48,
        general and administrative expenses of $4.46 and a royalty to the
        Thailand government of $4.89. Oil sales revenue during this period
        was allocated 17% to expenses for transportation, operating, and
        general & administrative, 5% to the government of Thailand for
        royalties, and 78% to Pan Orient.  
        
    --  Capital expenditures of $19.1 million at Concession L53 and
        Concession L45 during the second quarter of 2013 included $10.7
        million in drilling costs for six wells, $5.8 million for 3D seismic
        programs, and $2.1 million for well workovers to evaluate different
        zones and add oil production, and $0.5 million of other costs.  
        
    --  The six well program in the second quarter of 2013 consisted of two
        appraisal wells in the L53-DC field (L53-DC3 and L53-DC4), the L53-
        G3 appraisal well in the L53-G field and three exploration wells
        (L53-F, L53-EXT and L53-EXT1). Drilling in the second quarter of
        2013 resulted in four oil wells which added average oil production
        of 264 BOPD in the second quarter. 
        
    --  For the first half of 2013 the Company has drilled 12 wells in
        Concession L53 resulting in: 
        
        --  The L53-DC1, L53-DC2, L53-DC3 and L53-DC4 wells producing oil
            from a new pool discovery from a new fault compartment within
            the L53-D East oil field area. Production from the heavy oil
            zones encountered in the shallow zones at the L53-DC East field
            has been inconsistent over the past two months as various
            procedures have been applied in an effort to improve oil
            production and deal with sand production. One initiative was the
            installation of a progressive cavity pump and re-perforation of
            L53-DC3 well which achieved rates of approximately 308 BOPD
            before the pump motor burned out after approximately 10 days of
            production. New pumps have been ordered and installation of
            these progressive cavity pumps is planned for the L53-DC3 well
            and two other wells in the L53-DC field. 
            
        --  The L53-DEXT exploration well was drilled in the second quarter
            of 2013 into a new fault compartment at the L53-D field. This
            well produced approximately 40 BOPD of 14 degree API heavier oil
            from a shallow "A3" sands during testing within a new fault
            compartment at the L53-D field. The well is currently shut-in
            for testing of a radial jetting procedure to increase
            production. 
            
        --  The L53-G2 discovery well and L53-G3 appraisal well producing
            oil from the new L53-G oil pool. 
            
        --  Unsuccessful exploration wells at L53-DB1 (targeting the L53-D
            West prospect), L53-A4 (targeting the L53-H prospect), L53-F,
            and L53-EXT1 (targeting the deeper "A5" tp "A3" oil bearing
            sands that were logged in the L53-DC4 pilot well). The L53-DB1
            well has been converted to a water disposal well. 
            
        --  The L53-A4ST1 exploration well drilled to test a small
            independent structural closure south east of the L53-A field and
            outside the L53-A production license area. This well encountered
            net oil pay in the "K40-A" sand and had produced on a 90 day
            production test at approximately 15 to 50 BOPD with a water cut
            of approximately 93%. L53-A4ST1 is currently shut-in and Pan
            Orient plans to convert the well to a water disposal well. 
            
    --  Pan Orient intends to drill the L53-A Central prospect in Concession
        L53 before the end of 2013 if environmental approval for drilling is
        received by October 2013 and the well site can be constructed
        outside of the rainy season. 
        
    --  Pan Orient is completing interpretation of the 260 square kilometer
        3D seismic survey covering the northern portion of Concession L53
        and the adjacent lands in Concession L45 which will set up an
        additional exploration drilling program to commence in 2014. 
        
--  Indonesia 
    
    --  The Company has conducted significant exploration activities in
        Indonesia during the first half of 2013 with exploration drilling at
        the Batu Gajah and Citarum PSC's and seismic programs at the Batu
        Gajah, South CPP and East Jabung PSC's to evaluate exploration
        potential. 
        
    --  Capital expenditures in Indonesia of $16.6 million in the second
        quarter of 2013. During the first six months of 2013 capital
        expenditures in Indonesia were $35.1 million with $11.2 million at
        the Citarum PSC, $18.2 million at the Batu Gajah PSC, $4.5 million
        at the South CPP PSC and $1.2 million at the East Jabung. For the
        first six months of 2013, capital expenditures were $18.9 million
        for exploration drilling, $13.1 million for seismic programs, $2.3
        million for capitalized general and administrative expenses, and
        $0.8 for other exploration expenses. 
        
    --  Citarum PSC onshore Java (Pan Orient operator and 97% ownership) 
        
        --  Capital expenditures of $11.2 million in the first half of 2013
            were associated with the continued drilling operations at
            Jatayu-1 and Cataka-1A. 
            
        --  The Jatayu-1 exploration well had commenced drilling in March
            2012, suspended in September 2012 due to drilling difficulties
            and recommenced drilling in December 2012 utilizing slim hole
            drilling equipment. A severe overpressure gas zone encountered
            created an unacceptable level of well control risk in early
            January 2013 and drilling stopped above the primary target
            formation. Formation water present in gas zone suggested no
            commercial potential in the section that had been drilled above
            the primary objective. The well was abandoned in January 2013. 
            
        --  The Cataka-1A well commenced drilling in early December 2012,
            suspended in January 2013 due to numerous drilling rig issues
            and recommenced drilling in May 2013 with a new drilling rig,
            well design and personnel. The well encountered numerous
            intervals of severely tectonically fractured shale that were
            highly unstable and given the drilling difficulties encountered
            to date and the low probability of reaching the final objective
            in the Paragi limestone zone, the well has been abandoned. 
            
        --  Exploration drilling to date at the Citarum PSC has been very
            technically challenging and has not led to commercial
            discoveries. Pan Orient announced in July that the Company was
            initiating a farm-out process to seek a partner for continued
            exploration of the Citarum PSC. The Citarum PSC has significant
            prospectivity for commercial quantities of crude oil and natural
            gas, including the defined Cataka and Jatayu prospects, within a
            region of existing infrastructure and a large deficit of natural
            gas supply relative to demand, good fiscal terms and an
            attractive large cost recovery pool. 
            
        --  Pan Orient's has decided to discontinue drilling at the Citarum
            PSC and to initiate a farm-out process for continued exploration
            of the Citarum PSC. This results in the future value of the
            Citarum PSC dependent on the success of exploration drilling
            operations through the intended farm-out arrangement. As such,
            the Company is reducing the carrying value of the Citarum PSC
            exploration and evaluation assets to zero and is recording an
            impairment charge as at June 30, 2013 of $86.3 million for the
            exploration and evaluation assets of the Citarum PSC as at June
            30, 2013. The Cataka-1A well was drilling until the end of July
            and drilling costs incurred after June 30, 2013 of approximately
            $3.5 million will result in an additional impairment charge in
            the third quarter of 2013. 
            
    --  Batu Gajah PSC onshore Sumatra (Pan Orient operator and 77%
        ownership) 
        
        --  On January 16, 2013 an additional 1,730 square kilometers
            (gross) of exploration lands were relinquished at the Batu Gajah
            PSC, to hold 793 square kilometers (gross). 
            
        --  Capital expenditures in the first half of 2013 of $18.2 with
            $4.7 million for drilling of the Shinta-1 exploration well, $4.5
            million for the Buana-1 appraisal well, $7.9 million of the 400
            square kilometer 3D seismic program which commenced in the
            second quarter and will continue into the third quarter and
            other capital expenditures of $1.1 million. 
            
        --  The Shinta-1 exploration well encountered sub-commercial oil in
            the primary Lower Talangakar sandstone target and was abandoned.
            
        --  The Buana-1 well was an updip appraisal of the North Tuba Obi-1
            well drilled in 2011 and results suggested the Buana-1 and the
            North Tuba Obi-1 fault compartments are not in communication and
            the natural gas accumulation encountered in the Lower Talang
            Akar formation of the North Tuba Obi-1 well in 2011 is limited
            and sub-commercial. The Buana-1 well continued drilling
            unsuccessfully to a total depth of approximately 3,800 feet, as
            required by the Indonesian oil and gas regulator and within the
            secondary basement reservoir objective, and was abandoned. 
            
        --  Based on drilling results in the western portion of the Batu
            Gajah PSC during the first quarter of 2013, the decision was
            made to defer the planned Kemala-1 exploration well until after
            acquisition and interpretation of the 400 square kilometer 3D
            seismic program is completed. 
            
        --  The major activity in the Batu Gajah PSC for the remainder of
            2013 is to complete acquisition and evaluation of the 400 square
            kilometer 3D seismic program which is focused on the eastern
            half of the PSC. The estimated cost of this program is $15.8
            million, of which $7.9 million was recorded in the first half of
            2013.  
            
    --  South CPP PSC onshore Sumatra (Pan Orient operator and 77%
        ownership). 
        
        --  Capital expenditures were $4.5 million in the first half of 2013
            with $4.2 million for the 227 kilometer 2D seismic program which
            was completed in May 2013 and $0.3 million for capitalized
            general and administrative expenses and other capital
            expenditures. 
            
        --  After the evaluation of the seismic program results, the Company
            has decided to relinquish the South CPP PSC. As part of the
            relinquishment, it is expected that the Company is required to
            pay the Government of Indonesia for unfulfilled firm commitments
            in the amount of $2.8 million, and this amount has been accrued
            for as at June 30, 2013. As a result of the intended
            relinquishment the Company is reducing the carrying value of the
            South CPP PSC exploration and evaluation assets to zero and the
            Company is recording an impairment charge of $13.3 million for
            the exploration and evaluation assets of the South CPP PSC as at
            June 30, 2013. 
            
    --  At the East Jabung PSC on-shore and offshore Sumatra (Pan Orient
        operator and 100% ownership) capital expenditures of $1.2 million
        related primarily to the initial costs of the 430 kilometer 2D
        seismic program which is expected to be completed by year-end at a
        total cost of $5.5 million. 
        
    --  As at June 30, 2013 estimated commitments for Indonesia PSC's to
        October 2015 were $30.8 million for the Batu Gajah, Citarum and East
        Jabung PSC's. 
        
--  Canada 
    
    --  Activities are currently underway at the Sawn Lake SAGD
        demonstration project. The demonstration project will start with a
        2013 phase consisting of one SAGD well pair, a facility for steam
        generation, water handling and oil treating, and water source and
        disposal facilities with an estimated cost of $24.1 million. The
        wells will be drilled to a depth of approximately 650 meters and
        have a horizontal length of 750 meters. Work is proceeding on site
        preparation, purchase of components for the facility, pipeline
        installation and preparation for drilling. It is expected that the
        horizontal well pair will be drilling in the second half of
        September and steam operations commencing in early December 2013.
        Oil production is anticipated in the first quarter of 2014. 
        
    --  Subsequent to June 30, 2013 our joint venture partners in the
        demonstration project provided notice of their election to
        participate for 50% in the demonstration project and have taken
        steps to secure funding for their share of the project. As part of
        the arrangement for the demonstration project, Andora is allowing
        our joint venture partners to repurchase the 3% gross overriding
        royalty on their 40% working interest in the 12 sections of the
        Central Block for $2.8 million, under certain terms and conditions. 
        
    --  The demonstration project will now proceed with Andora as operator
        with a 50% working interest and a 50% working interest held by non-
        operators. Andora's share of the 2013 phase of the demonstration
        project is expected to be $12.1 million. To June 30, 2013 Andora has
        invested approximately $5.5 million in the demonstration project,
        with $4.5 million in the period of January to June 2013. 



OUTLOOK



--  Thailand
    
    Looking ahead to the remainder of 2013, Pan Orient will continue with
    heavy oil production initiatives that are currently underway involving
    the use of progressive cavity pumps and radial jetting technology.
    Processing and interpretation of the recently acquired approximately 260
    square kilometer 3D seismic survey is ongoing and there have been very
    encouraging preliminary results. On the basis of this work, the
    exploration well at the "A Central" prospect, targeting the large 12 to
    15 square kilometer (variance depending on stratigraphic level), will be
    fast tracked to December 2013, assuming the environmental EIA is
    approved prior to October 2013, in an attempt to get the well drilled
    prior to year end. In addition, a number of structures have been mapped
    in the region of the northern boundary of Concession L53 with one in
    particular showing direct hydrocarbon indicators in zones from 300
    meters to 800 meters depth. Environmental EIA approvals are currently
    underway for these locations and two additional locations on the
    recently acquired 60% interest in Concession L45. Approval is
    anticipated towards the end of the third quarter of 2013 and drilling
    planned for 2014.

    Seismic crews are currently active on the Batu Gajah and East Jabung
    PSC's. The large 400 square kilometer 3D seismic program on Batu Gajah
    is anticipated to be completed within the next two months and the 2D
    seismic survey on East Jabung is expected to be completed by year end.
    The 2D seismic program just completed on South CPP has been interpreted,
    and the Company has made the decision to relinquish the PSC due to the
    limited potential that was identified.
    
    Preparations are underway for the farm-out of a portion of Pan Orient's
    97% interest in the Citarum PSC in exchange for potentially re-drilling
    of the Cataka and Jatayu prospects. The intent is to complete the farm-
    out process by second quarter of 2014 to allow dry season drilling in
    the third quarter of 2014.
    
    It is also anticipated at this time that Pan Orient may farm-out a
    portion of the high working interests held in both the Batu Gajah and
    East Jabung PSC's prior to drilling. A final decision on timing and the
    amount of interest to be farmed out will be made by year-end when all
    the seismic data has been acquired, processed and interpreted.

    Construction and drilling activities for the Sawn Lake demonstration
    project will continue with the goal to commence steam injection at the
    Sawn Lake SAGD demonstration project in late November 2013, and
    production anticipated in the first quarter of 2014.

(1) Funds flow from operations ("funds flow" before changes in non-cash     
    working capital and reclamation costs) is used by management to analyze 
    operating performance and leverage. Funds flow as presented does not    
    have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore it may   
    not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures of other     
    entities. Funds flow is not intended to represent operating cash flow or
    operating profits for the period nor should it be viewed as an          
    alternative to cash flow from operating activities, net earnings or     
    other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with   
    IFRS.                                                                   
(2) Thailand Concessions SW1, L44 and L33 were sold on June 15, 2012.       
    Proceeds of $185.3 million less transaction costs of $11.2 million and  
    estimated tax of $16.1 million results in proceeds net of expenses of   
    $158.0 million. After deducting $80.6 million related to the carrying   
    value of petroleum and equipment, exploration and evaluation costs, and 
    working capital sold (including the elimination of the associated       
    deferred tax liabilities, employee pension liabilities, and             
    decommissioning provision). The net gain on sale is $93.4 million before
    tax and $77.3 million net after tax. The 2012 financial statements and  
    operating results include revenue, expenses and capital expenditures    
    associated with these properties to June 14, 2012.                      
(3) Cost of capital expenditures, excluding any decommissioning provision   
    and excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.          
(4) General & administrative expenses, excluding non-cash accretion and gain
    on settlement of decommissioning provision.
