Miami, 12th October 2011

2. Forward-looking information
Forward-looking information relates to management's future outlook and anticipated events or results, and includes statements and information regarding the future plans or prospects of MENA. Without limitation, statements about reserve and resource estimates, prospective financial performance, financial position and cash flows, and proposed acquisitions constitute forward- looking information.
Forward-looking information is based on certain factors and assumptions regarding, among other things, the impact of increasing competition; the general stability of the economic and political environment in which MENA operates; the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the ability of MENA to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; drilling results; the ability of the operator of the projects in which MENA has an interest in to operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the ability of MENA to obtain financing on acceptable terms; field production rates and decline rates; the ability to replace and expand oil and natural gas reserves through acquisition, development or exploration; the timing and costs of pipeline, storage and facility construction and expansion and the ability of MENA to secure adequate product transportation; future oil and natural gas prices; currency, exchange and interest rates; the regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which MENA operates; and the ability of MENA to successfully market its oil and natural gas products, and other similar matters. While MENA considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect.
Forward looking-information is subject to certain factors, including risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is currently expected. These factors include risks associated with the general stability of the economic and political environment in which MENA operates, oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling rigs and other services, incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions, the inability to settle the definitive terms of acquisitions and joint venture arrangements, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, reliance on key personnel, regulatory risks and delays, including risks relating to the acquisition of necessary licenses and permits, environmental risks and insurance risks.
The foregoing lists of assumptions, risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other risks that could affect MENA's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website ( or at MENA's website ( You should not place undue importance on forward-looking information and should not rely upon this information as of any other date. While MENA may elect to, MENA is under no obligation and does not undertake to update this information at any particular time, except as required by law.

3. Forward-looking information
Resource information
Certain of the petroleum resources set out in this document are classified as "contingent resources". Contingent resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political, and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. Contingent resources are further classified in accordance with the level of certainty.
Certain of the petroleum resources set out in this document are classified as "prospective resources". Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.
D&M Reports
For additional information relating to the reserves and resource estimates respecting our Lagia property, please see the material change report of the Company dated and filed on June 9, 2011 on and the joint management information circular and proxy statement of the Company dated April 15, 2011 and filed on on April 27, 2011.
Gustavson report
For additional information relating to the reserves and resource estimates respecting our US properties, please see the material change report of the Company dated and filed October 11, 2011 on
Uncertainty Categories
Estimates of resources always involve uncertainty, and the degree of uncertainty can vary widely between accumulations/projects and over the life of a project. Consequently, estimates of resources are generally quoted as a range according to the level of confidence associated with the estimates. The range of uncertainty of estimated recoverable volumes may be represented by either deterministic scenarios or by a probability distribution. Resources are generally provided as low, best, and high estimates as follows:
• "Low Estimate" -- This is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.
• "Best Estimate" -- This is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.
• "High Estimate" -- This is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.

The existing discoveries are too small to be developed for the domestic market at current domestic gas prices. Development requires prices in excess of US$ 6/ Mcf. The highest to date is around US$5.70/ Mcf. MENA has potential alternative market development concept via export and CNG.
A 1.5 TCF discovery with 75 MMbbl liquids could provide in excess of 20% returns with a gas price in range US$3.0/ Mcf to US$4.1/ Mcf for the domestic market.
