REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Legal Representative of
Pan American Energy LLC (Argentine Branch)
Av. Leandro N. Alem 1180 - 11th Floor
Buenos Aires, Argentina
We reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Pan American Energy LLC (Argentine
Branch) as of March 31, 2008, and the related statements of income and cash
flows, notes 1 to 15 and exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I for the
three-month period then ended, comparative with the same period of the prior
year, and in the case of the balance sheet and the related notes and exhibits,
with the financial statements as of December 31, 2007. The preparation of these
financial statements is the responsibility of the Legal Representative of the
Branch.
We conducted our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the Republic of Argentina applicable to the limited scope review of interim
financial statements. A review of interim financial information consists
principally in applying analytical procedures to the accounting data and making
inquiries of the individuals responsible for its preparation. As a review is
substantially less in scope than an audit of annual financial statements, we do
not express an opinion on the financial position of the Branch as of March 31,
2008, nor on the results of its operations and the cash flows for the
three-month period then ended.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated into the
English language from those issued in Spanish in conformity with accounting
principles and reporting practices adopted by the regulations of the National
Securities Commission ("CNV") of Argentina.
In relation to the financial statements as of December 31, 2007, presented for
comparative purposes, we issued an unqualified opinion on March 7, 2008. In
addition, on May 10, 2007, we issued an unmodified review report on the
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007, also presented
for comparative purposes.
Based on our review, we report that the financial statements as of March 31,
2008 and for the three months then ended referred to in the first paragraph
consider all the significant facts and circumstances of which we became aware
during our review and in relation to them we have no significant observations.
In compliance with rules and regulations in force, we report that:
a) the financial statements comply with the provisions of the Corporations Law
and the regulations on accounting documentation of the National Securities
Commission, they are transcribed in the Inventory Book and they derive from the
accounting records of the Branch maintained in the Republic of Argentina timely
authorized by the Inspection Board of Legal Entities (IGJ). Following its
submission of the special report required by section 287 of Resolution 7/2005 of
the IGJ, the Branch has not received the certification from such authorities
acknowledging compliance. The information systems used to process the financial
information included in the financial statements are maintained under the
security and integrity conditions based on which they were authorized;
b) we read the reporting summary (sections "Balance sheet items", "Income
statement items", "Statistical data" and "Ratios") and the supplementary
information to the financial statements required by section 68 of the
regulations of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and, based on our review as far
as it relates to our area of responsibility, we have no observations, and
c) as of March 31, 2008, the accrued liability for pension contributions arising
from the accounting records amounted to $ 3,946,816, no amounts being due as of
that date.

Explanations:
(1) The Joint Venture agreement (UTE) governing the relationships between the
holders of concession states that their participating interests in rights,
obligations and interests inherent in the property including production, will be
distributed based on the depth from which production is obtained: in the deep
area, the Branch has a 75% interest and the co-holder has the remaining 25%; in
the shallow area from which current total production is obtained, the Branch has
a 25% interest and the co-holder the remaining 75%; and in the area
"Descubrimiento El Zanj�n", both parties hold a 50% interest. The average
interest described grants the Branch a 50% interest in the rights over the
property, regardless the percentage thereof in the concession.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
3.1 Reporting currency
In accordance with Decree 664/2003 and General Resolution No. 441/2003 of the
National Securities Commission ("Comisi�n Nacional de Valores" or CNV), the
Branch discontinued the application of inflation accounting as from March 1,
2003.
From January 1, 2002 to February 28, 2003, the Branch applied the inflation
accounting methodology set forth by Technical Resolution No. 6, amended by
Technical Resolutions Nos. 17 and 19 of the Argentine Federation of Professional
Councils of Economic Sciences (FACPCE) and by the Professional Council of
Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires (CPCECABA), using indexes derived
from the Internal Wholesale Price Index.
3.2 Valuation and presentation principles
a) Presentation
The financial statements are presented in accordance with the presentation
principles established by the accounting standards generally accepted in the
Republic of Argentina and pursuant to the provisions of the CNV.
Investments to become due or to be realized in the short term (within 3 months
of period end) are considered a cash equivalent in the statement of cash flows.
Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements presented as
comparative information to conform them to the presentation used in this fiscal
year.
b) Participating interest in joint ventures
The Branch is engaged in exploration and production activities in certain areas
through its participation in joint ventures with other companies. The account
balances reflecting the joint ventures' assets, liabilities, income and expenses
are proportionately consolidated in these financial statements.
c) Foreign currency
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency as listed in Exhibit F
have been stated in Argentine Pesos at the exchange rate prevailing at the end
of each fiscal period. The resulting exchange gains/losses are presented in the
financial results line (provided by either assets or liabilities, as applicable)
of the Statement of Income.
d) Inventories
Crude oil is stated at reproduction cost. Spare parts, materials and raw
materials are stated at the latest acquisition cost. Goods in transit are stated
at acquisition cost plus import expenses. Advances to suppliers are valued at
the amounts actually incurred.
The carrying value of inventories, taken as a whole and after considering the
allowance for obsolescence (see Note 3.2.g), does not exceed their recoverable
value.
e) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost as indicated in
Note 3.1 less the related accumulated depreciation. The acquisition cost
includes all the necessary costs incurred in order to put the assets in working
condition.
Depreciation is calculated by applying the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets and/or the duration of the contracts, as
applicable, except for production wells, equipment and services, which are
depreciated as per the units of production method.
The pre-operating costs of the properties in the exploration stage, except for
geology and geophysics related expenses that are charged to the Statement of
Income as incurred, remain capitalized for a given period based on the
characteristics of each property, without exceeding five years considered as
from the completion of the exploration stage or, if applicable, as from
production interruption, unless:
1. it is expected that explored areas will proceed to the commercial production
stage, in which case the referred costs remain capitalized, or
2. during the referred five year period, management estimates that commercial
production will not be feasible, in which case, the referred costs are expensed.
For Property, plant and equipment existing as of January 6, 2002, the
acquisition or construction of which resulted in outstanding liabilities
denominated in foreign currency - exchange gains/losses resulting from restating
such liabilities totaling $1,832,303,600 through July 28, 2003 were capitalized
pursuant to specific accounting principles, based on the determination of the
direct or indirect ratio between the assets subject to capitalization and the
outstanding liabilities in foreign currency. The assets or group of assets
eligible for the capitalization of exchange gains/losses have remained
unchanged. Such capitalization of exchange gains/losses was performed in
proportion to the balance of the original value of the referred assets not
subject to depreciation. Additionally, exchange gains and losses were
capitalized up to the limit arising from the comparison between the replacement
or reproduction cost of the assets and their recoverable value.
For the purposes of presenting the financial statements in constant currency
(see Note 3.1), the capitalized exchange gains/losses amounting to $
1,832,303,600 are considered an anticipated inflation adjustment until such
differences are absorbed thereby. The excess of capitalized exchanges losses
over the amounts in constant currency totals $ 85,358,131 as of March 31, 2008.
The net carrying value of property, plant and equipment, taken by group of
assets of similar characteristics, does not exceed their estimated value in use
based on the information available as of the date of issuance of the financial
statements.
f) Intangible assets
These are pre-production geological expenditures and acquisition cost of blocks
valued at restated cost as indicated in Note 3.1., less the related accumulated
amortization. Amortization is calculated as per the units of production method.
g) Allowances, Provisions and Accruals
Allowances deducted from assets:
- For bad debtors: they are determined following the detailed analysis of the
credit status of each customer.
- For obsolescence of materials: the Branch creates an allowance for those
assets evidencing significant slow movement based on a specific analysis.
Accruals:
- For lawsuits: they are determined considering the potential costs of those
lawsuits filed against the Branch based on the opinion of the legal counsels.
Provisions:
- For future compensation to personnel: they are estimated as a percentage of
compensation paid, calculated in terms of actuarial methods, and can be applied
to compensate employees of the Branch who have complied with certain seniority
requirements defined by the Branch. Payments are debited from the related
provision.
- For environmental remediation: calculated on the basis of well-abandonment
forecasts until the expiration of agreements, at present values.
h) Income tax
The Branch applies the deferred tax method to account for income tax. Based on
the referred method, the current income tax is calculated by applying the rates
prevailing as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 on taxable income; and the future tax
effect of the temporary differences in the book and tax values of assets and
liabilities and the tax loss carryforwards, if any, are recognized as deferred
tax assets or liabilities. The adjustment for inflation of property, plant and
equipment as described in note 3.2.e) is considered to be a temporary difference
for deferred tax computations.
The deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent of their
recoverability.
i) Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires that the Branch management makes
estimates about the value of certain assets and liabilities, including
contingent liabilities, as well as the amounts informed of certain income and
expenses generated during the fiscal period.
The final amounts may differ from the estimates used in the preparation of the
financial statements.
j) Defined benefit pension plans
The Branch implemented a pension plan for the benefit of its personnel called
"Plan Puente" or "Bridge Plan". The amount accrued upon the implementation of
such plan as of March 31, 2008 amounts to $ 135,119,531 ($ 128,930,896 as of
December 31, 2007) presented under Other non current liabilities, out of which
the amount of $ 6,284,343 accrued in the three-month period ended December 31,
2008. Such amount is made up of $ 250,811,178 of nominal value less
$ 115,292,099 corresponding to the financial effect from the discount to present
value and payments in the amount of $ 399,547.
k) Revenue recognition
Revenue derived from the sale of hydrocarbons is recognized when the significant
risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the purchaser.
The Branch uses the production method to recognize revenues from the sale of
oil. In those cases where the Branch has a shared interest with other producers,
revenues are recorded upon the basis of the interest held in each joint venture.
In order to recognize revenues from the sale of gas, the Branch uses the sales
method, whereby these revenues are recorded on the basis of the actual volumes
delivered to purchasers irrespective of whether they result form the Branch's
own output or from the output shared with other producers.
l) Lease agreements
The Branch leases the space occupied by its offices, which agreements are of an
operating nature and, therefore, the expenses incurred are recognized in the
Statement of income to the extent they are accrued.
The amount of the leases, broken down by maturity dates, is reported below:
Nominal value
Up to one year US$ 2,670,232 and $ 1,212,397
Over one year and up to five years US$ 1,922,616 and $ 1.346,000
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Branch recognized an
expense of $ 2,400,053 related to such lease agreements presented in the line
Buildings Rentals and Maintenance in Exhibit G.

NOTE 14 - AGREEMENTS WITH THE PROVINCES OF CHUBUT AND SANTA CRUZ
The Branch entered into investment commitments and agreements with the Argentine
provinces of Chubut (04/27/2007) and Santa Cruz (06/25/2007) for the extension
of the term of the concession for hydrocarbon exploitation for a ten-year period
in the blocks known as Cerro Drag�n, the area of which extends over the
territory of both provinces, and Piedra Clavada and Koluel Kaike in the province
of Santa Cruz. The original term of the agreements expired between 2016 and
2017.
These agreements provided for, among other obligations, minimum investments of
US$ 2,000,000,000 in the Province of Chubut and US$ 500,000,000 in the Province
of Santa Cruz to be made before 2017.
operating agreements referred to below.
Furthermore, other investments of US$ 1,000,000,000 in the Province of Chubut
and US$300,000,000 in the Province of Santa Cruz are to be made before 2027 as a
condition for PAE to be granted the operation agreements referred to below.
The agreements also provided for a US$ 80,000,000 investment commitment for
off-shore exploration, at the Branch's own risk, by means of two joint ventures
(UTEs) created with the state-run companies Petrominera (in the case of Chubut)
and Fomicruz (in the case of Santa Cruz). The potential exploration success and
future business activities imply that an additional investment commitment in the
amount of US$500,000,000 be required for the development of the offshore fields.
The creation of the UTEs referred to in the preceding paragraph is consistent
with the provisions of sections 11 and 95 of the Hydrocarbon Law, which allows
state-run companies to enter into agreements and create companies, partnerships
or other associations with individuals or entities for the development of their
activities.
The operation agreements entered into with state-run companies also fall within
the scope of the referred legislation, which shall be effective by the year
2027, subject to compliance with the investment commitments and Pan American
Energy's exploration success in developing sufficient reserves to continue with
the production of the fields of those areas as from that year.
Based on these agreements, during the remaining term of the concessions, the
Branch agreed to pay to the respective provinces an additional amount of 3% of
the net revenues for certain items described in the agreements. The Branch will
also provide money for the development of infrastructure and the economic
diversification of the Provinces of Chubut and Santa Cruz. A number of grants
will be awarded, loans given or guaranteed, job opportunities offered, and
supplementary actions will be performed by the Branch as well.
The agreement with the province of Chubut was ratified by provincial law No.
5616 passed by the Provincial Congress on May 24, 2007, enacted by decree No.
500/2007 and published in the Official Bulletin on May 28, 2007.
The agreement with the province of Santa Cruz was ratified by provincial law No.
3009 issued by the Provincial Congress on March 13, 2008, enacted by decree No.
545/2008 and published in the Official Bulletin on March 27, 2008.

6. Business prospects
Pan American Energy LLC (Argentine Branch) is working to maintain and increase
its operating efficiency in connection with the oil and gas exploration and
production, to continue increasing its share in hydrocarbon production in
Argentina, satisfying in this way the needs derived from a sustained growth rate
of the country's economy as well as to comply with its existing contractual
obligations. The Branch strives to provide its personnel and contractors with
healthy and safe working conditions while preserving the environment.
The Branch is strongly engaged with the concerns and challenges posed by the
communities where it operates, by developing different social responsibility
programs (CSR).
During the first quarter of 2008, the Branch's oil production grew by 1.4% and
natural gas production rose by 15.0% with respect to the same period of the
prior fiscal year. This growth results from the active investment program
successfully implemented by Pan American Energy in the last years, which has
allowed it to double hydrocarbon production from 1999 to 2006.
After the 2002 crisis, the country has managed to achieve high gross domestic
product (GDP) growth with relatively low inflation rates though growing recently
and, a stable currency, with unemployment rates that have been significantly
reduced.
In the first quarter of 2008, the GDP grew by 8.7% compared with the same period
of the prior fiscal year, which indicates that a growing trend - initiated 24
quarters ago - continues. It is estimated that the gross domestic product will
increase by 6.9% in 2008. The unemployment rate is about 7.5%.
In the first quarter of 2008, the fiscal surplus totaled 8,844 million pesos,
thus disclosing a 73.9% increase compared to the same period of the prior fiscal
year. The level of foreign indebtedness as of December 31, 2007 increased with
respect to the same date of the prior fiscal year and amounted to US$ 144,729
million. The country's international reserves amounted US$ 50,464 million as of
March 31, 2008, 36.9% higher than those for the prior fiscal year.
The increase in the oil industry costs is a source of concern, since it clearly
exceeds the general increase in prices.
As previously informed, revenues from the exploration and production of oil and
gas were affected by the amendments to the regulations in force. In the case of
oil, as from March 2002, an increasing rate of export tariffs on exports has
been applied, which has also affected the sales prices in the domestic market.
On November 15, 2007, the Ministry of Economy and Production of Argentina issued
Resolution 394/07 by which export tariffs on oil and by products exports were
significantly increased for sales of oil above US$ 60.9 / barrel. The results of
the first quarter reflect the impact of this increase.
In the case of natural gas, in January 2002, the wellhead price of natural gas
was redenominated into pesos and frozen and, afterwards, export tariffs on
exports and quantitative restrictions to them were established. In April 2004,
the Secretary of Energy and the natural gas producers signed an agreement named
"regularization of wellhead prices". This agreement had a term that had expired
on December 31, 2006, after which, and at the request of the related
authorities, a new agreement was signed that will be in force until December 31,
2011.
The new agreement, approved last June by Resolution 599/07 of the Secretary of
Energy, compels producers (including the Branch) to satisfy the domestic demand
up to the levels reached in 2006 plus the growth of the residential market
during the validity thereof by setting out new guidelines for price changes.
In relation to export tariffs on gas exports, on July 25, 2006, the Ministry of
Economy and Production of Argentina, through Resolution No. 534/2006, increased
them to 45% of the price established under the form contract entered into
between Argentina and Bolivia (for the first quarter of 2008, export tariffs
amounted to US$ 3.14 per million BTU). On March 10, 2008, the Ministry of
Economy and Production of Argentina, through Resolution No. 127/2008 amended the
referred resolution and established that export tariffs would be equal to 100%
of the highest import price of natural gas into Argentina at any time (export
tariffs currently amount to US$ 7.80 per million BTU).
In the first quarter of 2008, the various unions gathering workers who perform
tasks in the oil fields operated by the Branch made several claims for salary
increases, reclassifications, labor continuity (for UOCRA personnel) and other
labor benefits. Such claims were peacefully made and, as a result, no action
measures affecting operations in general were taken. Claims were limited to
certain companies and did not prevent the other workers from working under
normal conditions, except for two days where, as a result of the action measures
taken, the contractors could not be taken to the oil field. In the second
quarter, the negotiation of the collective bargaining agreements of the Private
Oil Workers Union and Hierarchy Employees Union began. It is worth mentioning
that, since May 2, the production in the Piedra Clavada and Koluel Kaike blocks
has come to a standstill due to union conflicts.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Branch has continued with its investment
plans with a view to expanding its business and contributing to satisfying the
growing energy demand. The commitments assumed referred to in the following
paragraphs strengthen these expansion plans.
On December 6, 2006, Law No. 26197, known as "Hydrocarbons Short Law", was
passed. This law complied with the constitutional provision of transferring the
original ownership of the natural resources contained in the subsurface from the
Federal State to the producing provinces where oil fields are located.
Within this framework, the Branch entered into with the Argentine provinces of
Chubut (04/27/2007) and Santa Cruz (06/25/2007) two investment commitments and
agreements for the extension of the term of the concession for hydrocarbon
exploitation for a ten-year period in the blocks known as Cerro Drag�n, the area
of which is extended in the territory of both provinces, and Piedra Clavada and
Koluel Kaike in the province of Santa Cruz. The agreements expired between 2016
and 2017.
These agreements provided for, among other obligations, minimum investments of
US$2,000,000,000 in the Province of Chubut and of US$ 500,000,000 in the
Province of Santa Cruz to be made before 2017.
Furthermore, in order to enter into the operation agreements mentioned below,
other investments of US$ 1,000,000,000 in the Province of Chubut and US$
300,000,000 in the Province of Santa Cruz are to be made before 2027.
The agreements also provided for a US$ 80,000,000 investment commitment for
off-shore exploration, at the Branch's own risk, by means of two joint ventures
(UTEs) with the state-run companies Petrominera (in the case of Chubut) and
Fomicruz (in the case of Santa Cruz). If the Branch makes commercial
discoveries, an additional investment commitment will be required in the amount
of US$ 500,000,000 for the development of the offshore fields to be discovered.
The creation of the UTEs referred to in the preceding paragraph is consistent
with the provisions of sections 11 and 95 of the Hydrocarbon Law, which allows
state-owned companies to enter into agreements and create companies,
partnerships or other associations with individuals or entities for the
development of their activities.
The operation agreements executed with state-owned companies also fall within
the scope of the referred Law, which shall be effected as from the year 2027,
subject to compliance with the investments and Pan American Energy's exploration
success, so that it is allowed to evidence that it has developed sufficient
reserves to continue with the production of the fields of those areas as from
that year.
Based on these agreements, during the remaining term of the concessions, the
Branch agreed to pay to the respective provinces an additional amount of 3% of
the net revenues for certain items described in the agreements. The Branch will
also provide money for the development of infrastructure and the economic
diversification of the provinces of Chubut and Santa Cruz. A number of grants
will be awarded, loans given or guaranteed, job opportunities offered and
supplementary actions performed by the Branch as well.
The agreement with the province of Chubut was ratified by provincial law No.
5616 passed by the Provincial Congress on May 24, 2007, enacted by decree No.
500/2007 and published in the Official Bulletin on May 28, 2007.
The agreement with the province of Santa Cruz was ratified by provincial law No.
3009 issued by the Provincial Congress on March 13, 2008, enacted by decree No.
545/2008 and published in the Official Bulletin on March 27, 2008.
The execution of these agreements proposes a new horizon to sustain the increase
in production and reserves maintained by Pan American Energy in the Golfo San
Jorge basin. This new horizon and other regulatory and market conditions will
allow addressing long-term projects requiring sound investments, new
technologies and teams working for the future.
On January 28, 2008, Pan American Energy communicated that, as a result of its
ongoing exploration works in the Cerro Drag�n Area of the Province of Chubut, it
had made new findings of oil and natural gas reserves in the Northern and
Central regions of the Area, which, as a whole, account for one hundred million
equivalent oil barrels (boe).
