                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
     period. Such results are not necessarily indicative of results to be
     expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2.   RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     On September 8, 2002 the Company, as Operator of the Etame Field offshore
     Gabon, commenced production from the field at an average rate in excess of
     14,000 BOPD.

     In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company, as Operator, announced its
     intent to develop the Etame discovery located offshore of the Republic of
     Gabon. Based upon estimates by the Company's independent reserve engineers,
     the Company recorded 6.1 million barrels of proved undeveloped oil reserves
     at December 31, 2001 representing $23.1 million of net present value of
     future cash flows in conjunction with the plan to develop the field.

     The budget for the field development was $54.3 million dollars ($16.5
     million net to the Company) to complete and gravel pack three existing
     wells with subsea wellheads, and to lay flowlines to connect the wells to a
     1.1 million barrel floating production storage and offloading tanker
     ("FPSO"). Major contracts for the FPSO, wellheads, flowlines, and the
     drilling rig were awarded and entered into to perform the project. A
     semi-submersible drilling rig completed the three wells. A flowline
     installation vessel installed six flowlines (two for each well) and three
     control umbilicals from the wells to the location where the FPSO was
     moored. The FPSO had completed retrofitting in Singapore and arrived on
     location on August 29, 2002 and was moored and ready to receive the
     flowlines on September 3, 2002. Flowline hookup was completed on September
     7, 2002 and production commenced the next day.

                      VAALCO ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
                                  (Unaudited)


     To fund its share of the development project, the Company entered into a
     line of credit for $10.0 million with the International Finance Corporation
     ("IFC"), a subsidiary of the World Bank. The loan agreement was signed on
     April 19, 2002. The first draw of $7.0 million was made in early July 2002.
     The balance of the loan was funded in early October 2002. Prior to project
     completion date, which is projected to occur 90 days after first oil
     production, the IFC loan is guaranteed by the Company via cash received
     from loans from the 1818 Fund II, L.P. (the "1818 Fund") and an investor.

     During the third quarter of 2002, the 1818 Fund loan was amended and raised
     from $10 million to $13 million in the form of a subordinated note secured
     by a second lien on certain collateral with respect to the Company's
     investment in VAALCO Gabon (Etame), Inc. including the $10 million cash
     collateral to support the Company's guarantee of the IFC loan. The interest
     rate on the loan is 10%. The $3 million increase in the loan was part of
     $6.0 million in additional financing obtained by the Company from an
     investor to help pay for its share of the development project and other
     planned exploration activities on the Etame Block. The Company established
     a new subsidiary, VAALCO International, Inc., which owns VAALCO Gabon
     (Etame), Inc., the subsidiary that owns the interest in the Gabon
     Production Sharing Contract. An investor agreed to provide $3.0 million of
     equity net of transaction costs and the $3.0 million additional loan
     mentioned above in return for a 9.99% stake in VAALCO International, Inc.
     VAALCO Energy, Inc will own the remaining 90.01% of the stock of VAALCO
     International Inc.

     In conjunction with receiving the 1818 Fund loan, the Company on June 10,
     2002 issued 15 million warrants, each of which entitles the holder to
     purchase one share of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $0.50 per
     share, 7.5 million of which will be cancelled if project completion occurs
     on the Etame Block. In conjunction with the additional $3.0 million loan,
     the Company on August 30, 2002 issued 4.5 million warrants, each of which
     entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's Common Stock at
     a price of $0.50 per share, 2.25 million of which will be cancelled if
     project completion occurs on the Etame Block. Management has allocated
     $2.465 million of the anticipated proceeds from the $13 million loan to the
     warrants, which has been accounted for in the equity section of the balance
     sheet as additional paid in capital, with a corresponding offset to debt

     Directors, which received a fairness opinion with regards to the terms of
     the 1818 Fund loan.

     As of the date of this filing, $10.0 million of the 1818 Fund loan has been
     drawn, which has been placed in escrow to guarantee the IFC loan until
     project completion. If certain conditions are met, the Company could draw

     $3.0 million balance of the 1818 Fund loan is not drawn,

3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The weighted average common shares outstanding represent those of VAALCO
     for the applicable periods.

     The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 - "Earnings per Share,"
     which establishes the requirements for presenting earnings per share
     ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of "basic" and "diluted"
     EPS on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is calculated using the
     average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS
     assumes the conversion of preferred stock to common stock and the exercise
     of all stock options having exercise prices less than the average market
     price of the common stock using the treasury stock method. The Company's
     preferred stock is convertible into 27,500,000 shares of common stock. As
     all of the convertible securities were anti-dilutive at September 30, 2002,
     basic EPS is equal to diluted EPS.

4.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
     Other Intangible Assets." The Statements change the accounting for business
     combinations and goodwill in two significant ways. SFAS No. 141 requires
     that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
     combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests
     method will be prohibited. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill
     from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus,
     amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business
     combinations, will cease upon

     adoption of that statement, which for the Company was January 1, 2002. The
     adoption of these statements did not have a material effect on the
     Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
     Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and
     reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible,
     long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement
     requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
     obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred by
     capitalizing it as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. As
     required by SFAS No. 143, the Company will adopt this new accounting
     standard on January 1, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the
     effects of adopting this pronouncement.

     In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
     Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement establishes a
     single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
     assets. As required by SFAS No. 144, the Company adopted this new standard
     on January 1, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material
     effect on the Company's financial position, results of operation or cash
     flows.

     In April 2002 the FASB issued Statement on SFAS No. 145, "Recission of FASB
     Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and
     Technical Corrections", to eliminate an inconsistency between the required
     accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for
     certain lease modifications that are similar to sale-leaseback
     transactions. The statement also amends other existing pronouncements. This
     statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The
     impact of adopting this statement on the consolidated financial position or
     results of operations is not expected to be material.

     In June 2002 the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
     with Exit or Disposal Activities", which addresses accounting and reporting
     for costs associated with exit and disposal activities and replaces
     Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
     Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
     (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". This statement is
     effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
     31, 2002. The impact of adopting this statement on the consolidated
     financial position or results of operations is not expected to be material.

INTRODUCTION

The Company's results of operations are dependent upon the difference between
prices received for its oil and gas production and the costs to find and produce
such oil and gas. Oil and gas prices have been and are expected in the future to
be volatile and subject to fluctuations based on a number of factors beyond the
control of the Company. The Company does not presently engage in any hedging
activities and has no plans to do so in the near future.

The Company participated in the development of the Etame Block, which the
Company operates on behalf of a consortium of five companies offshore of the
Republic of Gabon. The Company administered a $54.3 million budget ($16.5
million net to the Company) to execute the development project. Substantially
all of the Company's capital resources and personnel have been dedicated to the
completion of the development project in 2002.

The Company's production in the Philippines is from mature offshore fields with
high production costs. The Company's margin on sales from these fields (the
price received for oil less the production costs for the oil) is lower than the
margin on oil production from many other areas. As a result, the profitability
of the Company's production in the Philippines is affected more by changes in
oil prices than production located in other areas.

The Company's results of operations are also affected by currency exchange
rates. While oil sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, operating costs are
predominately denominated in pesos. An increase in the exchange rate of pesos to
the dollar will have the effect of increasing operating costs while a decrease
in the exchange rate will reduce operating costs.

A substantial portion of the Company's oil production is located offshore of the
Philippines. The Company produces into barges, which transport the oil to
market. Due to weather and other factors, the Company's production is generally
higher during the first and fourth quarters of the year.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following describes the critical accounting policies used by VAALCO in
reporting its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases,
accounting standards allow more than one alternative accounting method for
reporting, such is the case with accounting for oil and gas activities described
below. In those cases, the Company's reported results of operations would be
different should it employ an alternative accounting method.

Successful Efforts Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Activities.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") prescribes in Regulation S-X the
financial accounting and reporting standards for companies engaged in oil and
gas producing activities. Two methods are prescribed: the successful efforts
method and the full cost method. Like many other oil and gas companies, VAALCO
has chosen to follow the successful efforts method. Management believes that
this method is preferable, as the Company has focused on exploration activities
wherein there are risks associated with future success and as such earnings are
best represented by attachment to the drilling operations of the Company.

Costs of successful wells, development dry holes and leases containing
productive reserves are capitalized and amortized on a unit-of-production basis
over the life of the related reserves. Estimated future abandonment and site
restoration costs, net of anticipated salvage values, are amortized on a unit of
production basis over the life of the related reserves. Other exploration costs,
including geological and geophysical expenses applicable to undeveloped
leasehold, leasehold expiration costs and delay rentals are expensed as
incurred.

In accordance with accounting under successful efforts, the Company reviews
proved oil and gas properties for indications of impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its oil and gas properties may
not be recoverable. When it is determined that an oil and gas property's
estimated future net cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying
amount, an impairment charge must be recorded to reduce the carrying amount of
the asset to its estimated fair value. This may occur if a field discovers lower
than anticipated reserves or if commodity prices fall below a level that
significantly affects anticipated future cash flows on the field. The Company
determines if an impairment has occurred through either identification of
adverse changes or as a result of the annual review of all fields. For the year
ended December 31, 2001, impairments of $567,145 were recognized. No impairments
have been recognized in 2002.

Undeveloped Acreage.

At September 30, 2002, the Company had undeveloped acreage on its balance sheet
totaling $515,000, representing costs that are not being amortized pending
evaluation of the respective leasehold for future development. Unproved
properties are assessed quarterly for impairment in value, with any impairment
charged to expense.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Historically, the Company's primary sources of capital have been from cash flows
from operations, private sales of equity, borrowings and purchase money debt. In
2002 and 2001, the Company's primary uses of capital have been to fund its
exploration and development operations in Gabon.

The Company commenced production from the Etame field on September 8, 2002.
Total production for the month of September was 289,000 gross barrels (74,000
net barrels) of oil. Oil is produced into a tanker and will be sold via
ship-to-ship transfers. The crude oil will be sold under a contract with Shell
Western Supply and Trading Limited ("Shell") with Shell taking title to the oil
upon transfer of the oil to their loading tanker. The contract is denominated in
U.S. dollars and will be based on the monthly average of Dated Brent adjusted
for transportation costs. The first oil sale occurred in November 2002. The
Company carries the costs of producing crude oil stored in the tanker as
inventory until the oil is sold.

The Company produces oil from the Matinloc and Nido fields in the South China
Sea, the Philippines. During the year ended December 31, 2001, total production
from the fields was approximately 308,000 gross barrels (69,000 barrels net) of
oil. For the nine months ended September 2002 production from the fields was
186,000 gross barrels (40,000 net barrels) of oil. The Company markets its share
of crude oil under an agreement with Caltex, a local Philippines refiner.

Substantially all of the Company's crude oil and natural gas is sold at posted
or index prices under short-term contracts, as is customary in the industry.
While the loss of either Shell or Caltex as buyers might have a material effect
on the Company in the near term, management believes that the Company would be
able to obtain other customers for its crude oil.

Domestically, the Company produces from wells in Brazos County, Texas. Domestic
production is sold under two contracts, one for oil and one for gas. The Company
has access to several alternative buyers for oil and gas sales domestically.

The Company elected to terminate its joint venture with Paramount Petroleum,
Inc., effective June 1, 2001. The joint venture focused on domestic onshore
prospects in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. In connection with the wind up
of the joint venture, the Company received $169,000 in cash, a receivable for
$47,000 representing its share of cash in the joint venture and $259,000 of
undeveloped acreage representing its proportionate 93.75% working interest in
all remaining prospects within the joint venture. Final completion of assignment
documentation is ongoing. The Company has an interest in production from two
small gas discoveries drilled by the joint venture.

The Company continues to seek financing to fund the development of existing
properties and to acquire additional assets. The Company will rely on the
issuance of equity and debt securities,

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

asset sales and cash flow from operations to provide the required capital for
funding future operations. While there can be no assurance the Company will be
successful in raising new financing, management believes the prospects the
Company has in hand will enable it to attract sufficient capital to fund
required oil and gas activities.

During 2002, the Company anticipates that it will make capital expenditures on
oil and gas properties of approximately $15.9 million, all in Gabon. The Company
has entered into a line of credit for its subsidiary VAALCO Gabon (Etame), Inc.
in the amount of $10.0 million with the IFC to partially fund its share of the
development project, which loan agreement was signed on April 19, 2002. The
first draw of $7.0 million was made in early July 2002. The balance of the loan
was funded in early October 2002. Prior to project completion, the IFC loan is
to be guaranteed by the Company and cash collateralized with proceeds from a
loan from the 1818 Fund. Project completion requires gross project production of
14,250 BOPD and gross proved reserves of 16.5 million barrels and compliance
with financial covenants and other conditions, which may not be achieved. The
IFC requires project completion to occur prior to March 31, 2003.

During the third quarter of 2002, the 1818 Fund loan was amended and raised from
$10 million to $13 million in the form subordinated note secured by a second
lien on certain collateral with respect to the Company's investment in VAALCO
Gabon (Etame), Inc. including the $10 million cash collateral to support the
Company's guarantee of the IFC loan. The interest rate on the loan is 10%. The
$3 million increase in the loan was part of $6.0 million in additional financing
obtained by the Company from an investor to help pay for its share of the
development project and other planned exploration activities on the Etame Block.
The Company established a new subsidiary VAALCO International, Inc., which owns
VAALCO Gabon (Etame), Inc., the subsidiary that owns the interest in the Gabon
Production Sharing Contract. An investor agreed to provide $3.0 million of
equity net of transaction costs and the $3.0 million additional loan mentioned
above in return for a 9.99% stake in VAALCO International, Inc. VAALCO Energy,
Inc will own the remaining 90.01% of the stock of VAALCO International, Inc.

In conjunction with receiving the 1818 Fund loan, the Company on June 10, 2002
issued 15 million warrants, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one
share of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $0.50 per share, 7.5 million
of which will be cancelled if project completion occurs on the Etame Block. In
conjunction with the additional $3.0 million loan, the Company on August 30,
2002 issued 4.5 million warrants, each of which entitles the holder to purchase
one share of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $0.50 per share, 2.25
million of which will be cancelled if project completion occurs on the Etame
Block. Management has allocated $2.465 million of the anticipated proceeds from
the $13 million loan to the warrants, which has been accounted for in the equity
section of the balance sheet as additional paid in capital, with a corresponding
offset to debt discount, which is being amortized to interest expense. The
allocation is based on the relative fair values of the loan and the warrants.
The valuation of the warrants is based upon a Black Scholes model, adjusted for
liquidity issues associated with a potential sale of such a large volume of
shares. The Company

As of the date of this filing, $10.0 million of the 1818 Fund loan has been

balance of the 1818 Fund loan is not drawn, 1818 Fund will return 4.5 million of
its warrants on May 1, 2003. The Company is carrying a subscription receivable

been drawn, which would be extinguished if the 4.5 million warrants are
returned. At the present time, the Company does not anticipate drawing the
remaining $3.0 million balance available under the 1818 Fund loan.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to three months ended September
30, 2001

Revenues

Total revenues were $199 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002
compared to $396 thousand for the comparable period in 2001. Lower volumes
produced in the Philippines caused the decline in revenues.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total production expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were
$136 thousand compared to $195 thousand during the same period in 2001.
Exploration expense of $48 thousand for seismic exploration activities in Gabon
was incurred during the three months ending September 30, 2002. Depreciation,
depletion and amortization for the three months ending September 30, 2002 was
$40 thousand compared to $73 thousand for the same period in 2001 due to lower
volumes producing in Texas during 2002. General and administrative expenses for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were $307 thousand and

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

$494 thousand, respectively. Overhead cost reimbursements associated with the
development project in Gabon during 2002 accounted for the decrease in general
and administrative costs.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income of $44 thousand was received from amounts on deposit in 2002
compared to $28 thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase
is attributed to higher balances on deposit in 2002 as compared to 2001.
Interest expense and financing charges in the quarter ended September 30, 2002
were $375 thousand consisting of $198 thousand in interest expense and $177
thousand of amortization of financing costs associated with the IFC and 1818
Fund loans. With the termination of the Paramount Joint Venture in June 2001,
there was no equity gain or loss for unconsolidated entities in the second
quarter of 2002, compared to an equity gain in unconsolidated entities in the
quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $2 thousand.

Income Taxes

An income tax reduction of $1 thousand for the quarter ending September 30, 2001
was associated with activity in the Philippines. No taxes were due in the
quarter ending September 30, 2002.

Net Loss

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 was $685 thousand, compared to a net loss attributable to
common stockholders of $331 thousand for the same period in 2001. The higher net
loss in 2002 was primarily due to lower revenues from production, interest
expense and financing charges.

Total revenues were $671 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
compared to $1,445 thousand for the comparable period in 2001. Higher production
rates plus a gain on the resale of certain interests acquired in Gabon in 2001
contributed to the higher 2001 revenues.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total production expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $356
thousand compared to $504 thousand for the same period in 2001. Expenditures in
2001 included additional activity at the Nido field. Exploration expense of $57
thousand was incurred for exploration activities in Gabon and for seismic
reinterpretation in the Philippines during the nine months ending September 30,
2002. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased from $125 thousand in
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $147 thousand in the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 due to higher depletion rates per barrel oil equivalent

the Brazos County wells. General and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended 2002 and 2001 were $1,005 thousand and $1,282 thousand,
respectively. The Company benefited from overhead reimbursements associated with
capital expenditure programs in Gabon in both 2002 and 2001.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income of $89 thousand was received from amounts on deposit in 2002
compared to $250 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The
decrease is attributed to smaller average balances on deposit in 2002 when
compared to 2001 and lower interest rates in 2002. Interest expense and
financing charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $375 thousand
consisting of $198 thousand in interest expense and $177 thousand of
amortization of financing costs associated with the IFC and 1818 Fund loans. The
equity loss in unconsolidated entities in the nine months ended September 30,
2001 was $443 thousand. The loss reported in the nine months ended September 30,
2001 was associated with the Paramount joint venture and consisted of the write
off of unsold prospect costs. The joint venture was terminated on September 30,
2001.

Income Taxes

The Company incurred $2 thousand in income tax expense associated with activity
in the Philippines, in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $16
thousand in 2001 due to greater taxable profits in the Philippines in 2001.

Net Loss

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 was $1,213 thousand, compared to a net loss attributable to common
stockholders of $673 thousand for the same period in 2001. Lower production
rates in 2002 contributed to lower revenues for the nine months ending September
30, 2002 as compared to the comparable period in 2001. Interest expense and
financing charges commenced in the third quarter of 2002 on the IFC and 1818
Fund loans. Also in 2001, the Company benefited from the gain on the resale of
certain assets acquired in Gabon.
