Recommendation: SPECULATIVE BUY PETROLIFERA PETROLEUM LIMITED 12-Month Target: C$1.20 (TSX-PDP .64) Risk Rating: ABOVE AVERAGE

PETROLIFERA ANNOUNCES REVIEW OFSTRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES

Petrolifera has formed a special committee to examine strategic alternatives for the Company. The committee is not limited in its scope, and all options will be considered including, among other things, a corporate sale, farm-outs, asset sales and recapitalizations. (page 2)

This process offers the opportunity to acquire higher interests in key properties. Petrolifera has already been running data rooms to attract potential partners in its Colombian and Peruvian properties. By expanding the process to the corporate level, those entities may now be able to acquire up to 100%, rather than the lower interests earned in a farm-in. This could be more attractive than carrying a minority partner through earning and in development thereafter. (page 2)

Long-term production test on Brillante SE-1X should boost reserves assessment. The production phase was concluded after withdrawals of 66 MMcf over a 3-week period. Production rates and pressures increased marginally through the test. A more definitive analysis will come from the pressure build up (currently underway). The Company expects to retrieve the pressure recorders in approximately six weeks. We believe that this data is likely to validate at least our minimum estimate of 60 Bcf, possibly more. (page 5)

Broken up, we see a potential value range between $1.00 and $2.19 per share. We have looked at potential value ranges for the three operating areas using various methods that we deem appropriate to the assets in each. This range excludes any consideration for the exploration leads and prospects, which we estimate have a risked potential value of nearly $4.00/sh ($32.70 unrisked). (pages 3, 8)

We are maintaining our SPECULATIVE BUY recommendation and our 12-month target price of $1.20per share.

Petrolifera Petroleum Limited is a junior energy company with operations in the Neuquen basin of Argentina, and exploration concessions in Peru and Colombia.

Petrolifera Announces Review of Strategic Alternatives

On September 7, Petrolifera announced the initiation of a process to review strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. A special committed has been formed consisting of Andrew Gustajtis, Gordon Johnston, and Christopher Smith, all independent directors. Mr. Smith, who is also Chairman of the Audit Committee, will chair the Special Committee. The Company is in the process of retaining RBC Capital Markets as its financial advisor. The scope of the possible alternatives has not been limited in any way. We believe the most likely outcome will be a corporate transaction of some sort. The Company was already running marketing efforts to farm-out both its Peruvian and Colombian properties and also attempted (unsuccessfully) to sell the Argentine operations last year. Announcing a strategic review adds the possibility of acquiring 100% working interests rather than earning something less in a farm-in. A corporate transaction, such as a sale, merger or recapitalization potentially changes the basis of our previous evaluation in two ways:

Our former NAV calculations were on the basis of a “going concern” and included the present value of the G&A burden required to run the Company amounting to over $33 million (.23/sh, basic). In a corporate sale, the buyer will likely already have its own corporate infrastructure in place, and those costs could be reduced to $10 million or less (consisting of severance costs, lease obligations, investment banking fees and the present value of any retained G&A costs), for net gain of .16/sh.

Our 12-month NAV and ExNAV calculations formerly included likely farm-outs in Colombia (down to 50%) and Peru (down to 25%). A large, well capitalized buyer might not need to farm down and would therefore retain the full (or at least higher) working interest for itself. It could, of course, still go in pieces and in mind of that, we have evaluated the Company as a sum of those pieces, based on our estimate of what each segment could be worth, summarized in the table below:

Each of the three operating areas has additional upside potential which is not included in the value ranges above. Substantially all of that is exploration based, for which it would be difficult for a potential purchaser to explicitly pay. As such, we believe it is more likely that this exploration portfolio could influence the price paid upward within the basic value ranges unless or until any of those leads or prospects are drilled and proven during the strategic value initiative. That upside potential is summarized below:

Petrolifera’s Argentine assets consist of interests ranging from 25% to 100% in five blocks in the Neuquen Basin. Various farm-out agreements have been executed, and while not all of the earning requirements have been fulfilled, we are reasonably confident that they will. All the 2P reserves and production are within the Puesto Morales block (PDP 100%). There has been drilling in several of the other blocks, but no reserves had yet been assigned at year end 2009.

The Company has a credit facility backed by its reserves, upon which we estimate $34.8 million will be drawn at the end of September. From the Q1 rate of 3,706 Bbl/d, meeting the proved developed reserves of 3.9 MMBbl would require a decline rate of ~28% per year, substantially consistent with the actual rate observed since the beginning of 2009. The Q2 rate of 3,356 Bbl/d suggests, on the surface, an annual decline of 36%, but was affected by downtime for equipment maintenance, workovers on two wells and pump failure on a third. Overall, 2010 production to date appears to be consistent with the year end reserves assessment.

A potential risk is the high proportion of Proved Undeveloped (27%) and Probable (42%) reserves relative to the total 2P reserves. When proved developed reserves constitute less than 50%, some acquirers may increase their discount rate to compensate for more of the reserves being in the riskier categories. We believe that our 13% (after tax) rate adequately compensates for this.

The assigned multiples of 4x and 5x are based on our flat to declining expectation for production and cash flow from the Argentine assets. Other companies in our South American coverage universe trade at multiples of 8x or higher, but their expected year-over-year production growth is between 25% and 35%. As mentioned above, we anticipate a continuing 28% decline rate in the Puesto Morales field on the existing wells, to be offset by further development drilling to bring on the undeveloped and probable reserves and the upside potential from the other blocks.

Upside Potential The Argentine blocks have additional upside potential, as summarized in the table below:

Unrisked Value Risked Value

We have not included this upside potential in our valuation for several reasons including, among other things, the timing of the drilling to validate the prospects. In the case of Vaca Mahuida, despite the high chance of success (3 wells in aggregate tested over 7 MMcf/d from several zones earlier this year), there is uncertainty over whether it will receive “Gas Plus” pricing, and when the wells could be tied into a gathering system. Petrolifera and its partners would likely receive over $4/Mcf under Gas Plus, whereas their existing production realized only $2.66/Mcf in Q2 (our value of .60/Mcf is based on Gas Plus, whereas it could drop to as low as
.20 without Gas Plus, depending on operating and
F&D costs). We also allow for the possibility that Puesto Guevara could be gas prone, as Vaca Mahuida seems to be, as it lies even further to the south.

end, the Company made a gas discovery at Brillante and furthered work at La Pinta (see below) on the Sierra Nevada Licence. It also plans to drill an exploration well at San Angel on the Magdalena Licence in Q4 this year. The operator of Turpial, Apco Oil and Gas, will likely drill the first exploratory well in early 2011.

In April, the Company announced the first results from Brillante SE-1X, which flowed at 8.4 MMcf/d at a wellhead pressure of 579 psi. A long-term production test was completed yesterday, after total withdrawals of 66 MMcf and small amounts of condensate and water. There were no signs of depletion during the flow period (the rate and pressure both actually strengthened marginally), but more definitive results will depend on analysis of the pressure build up. While we have previously estimated the potential size of the Brillante discovery between 60 and 290 Bcf, it is difficult to see how the upper end of that range can be validated to the point of being assigned 2P reserves within the next 6 to 9 months. Full assessment will require more appraisal drilling and production and pressure information. As such, in our best case, we could see perhaps 100 Bcf with the logs and long-term test on the Brillante SE-1X well. Valued at
.45/Mcf (see tables below), that gives a value range of between $27 and

$45 million.

The La Pinta-1X well tested two formations, the Cienaga de Oro (“CDO”) and the Upper Porquero. Neither test conclusively validates any new reserves, although for different reasons:

Testing from the CDO was inconclusive – there was a casing failure and the highly unconsolidated formation plugged the tubing with sand and gravel 30 minutes into the test, although instantaneous rates were 770 Bbl/d. Subsequent remedial efforts were unsuccessful. The potential is very high – the recoverable volumes could be between 10 and 40 MMBbl, and at $15.50/Bbl could add at least $1.00/sh to NAV.

The Upper Porquero zone produced 139 Bbl/d and 740 Mcf/d on test. This was not a particularly compelling rate for a 7,800 ft well, and we believe that it may require some form of stimulation (likely a frac’) to be economically viable. Assuming that the frac’ works however, the Company estimates that recoverable volumes could be between 8 and 15 MMBbl. In the worst case, a buyer may not recognize any reserves for either the CDO or Porquero zones: The CDO has not yet been proven by a proper test, and the low rates on the Porquero may not be economic.

At the upper end, using 10 MMBbl and 20 MMBbl for the Porquero and CDO, respectively (both values within the lower third of the expected ranges), and a unit value of $15.50/Bbl, we get an unrisked value of $465 million. There are, however, considerable technical risks associated with being able to complete the wells economically for production, the size of the reserves, and capital costs (particularly with the CDO as the ~8,000 psi reservoir pressure could add considerably to drilling costs). Accordingly, we believe that a 25% chance of success is appropriate, which results in an aggregate value of $116 million.

The San Angel prospect is scheduled to be drilled in Q4 this year, which could have a material effect on the valuation. Shell drilled a well in 1943 that tested 8 MMcf/d, but was abandoned as gas had no value at the time. That old well increases the chance of success on the prospect substantially. We believe that these well results will be available prior to the conclusion of the strategic alternative process, and a success could increase the value substantially.

Petrolifera’s Peruvian assets are arguably the most valuable within the Company, but valuation poses a challenge in that it is all in the exploration potential. There is no production or reserves. The expected value of potential resources that may be discovered is not typically an indicator of market value. The work commitments on Block 107 were $16.4 million over 7 years1. Block 133, awarded in April 2009, added additional geological field studies but the additional costs are not material. The program on Block 106 was $25.6 million to be spent over seven years. We have considered, but rejected the use of these work commitments in valuing the Peruvian blocks. These contracts were negotiated in 2005, prior to the larger influx of other competitors in 2006, which pushed up work commitments and royalties payable. Petrolifera’s blocks are therefore more valuable than the general market.

Petrolifera has been seeking a farm-in partner for Blocks 107 and 133 for over a year. The Company is also initiating a similar process for Block 106, which is 1 Some of the time periods have been extended as the “clock” turns off while the Company is waiting for government approval of the Environmental Impact Assessments.

starting now, as the seismic processing and interpretation has only recently been completed. A typical format for such a farm-out has the prospective partner pay the costs for the first one or more wells, which in turn, earns them some working interest in the entire block. The partner may also reimburse the Company for some share of historical expenses. The size of the earned interest can vary significantly, but in general, the higher the cost of the well(s), the greater the interest.

The first well in Block 107/133 is likely to be very expensive – we believe it could be $35 million or more. The location is in the Andean jungle, requiring a heliportable drilling rig. Total depth could be 4,000 metres or more, and will likely have to be drilled as a deviated hole from an offset surface location. With costs of that magnitude, it is likely that the partner will take a majority interest and operatorship after earning. We believe the range of the earned interest would be between 60% and 80% (leaving 20% - 40% for Petrolifera) and that the earn-in would require between one and three wells. The more wells, the higher the earned interest.

In Block 106, drilling costs are likely to be in the $20 million range, as the target depths are 2,500 – 3,000 metres and will not likely have to be deviated. As the Corrientes field is located in the middle of the block, there is better well control available for the geological interpretation. We expect a slightly better range of terms, one to three wells earning between 50% and 75%.

The tables below show the range of values for each of the two blocks for various combinations of wells drilled and earned interests. The gray shaded areas are those combinations that we consider unlikely.

Corporate Assets and Liabilities

The remainder of Petrolifera’s assets and liabilities are fairly easily valued:

($MM)

Working Capital: $14.8

Notes: $9.6

Corporate Debt: ($22.5)

Other: ($10.0)

Total: ($8.1)

The Notes are securities issued in lieu of Petrolifera’s former ABCP holdings. The Company has calculated an expected value of $19.2 million, but as no significant market has emerged for them, it is unlikely that a purchaser will be willing to pay that full value, and we have discounted them by 50%.

The corporate debt is secured solely against the Notes. We have included it at full face value, although there is a potential gain of nearly $13 million (the $22.5 million of face value vs. the $9.6 million estimated value of the Notes) in the event of forced liquidation.

Other costs of $10 million include allowances for investment banking fees associated with the strategic alternatives process, severance costs, lease obligations and any enduring G&A costs.

Valuation

Our sum of the parts valuation produced a range of potential values between $1.00 and $2.19 per share. We believe we have been suitably conservative at the low end of that range and that the ultimate realizable value will exceed that. At the high end, there is a chance that a purchaser(s) might pay full value, but we think it highly unlikely. We have therefore opted to leave our target unchanged at $1.20 per share and maintain our recommendation of SPECULATIVE BUY.

There is an alternate hypothesis that a potential buyer could offer only a takeover premium to the current market price of .65. Such a premium typically ranges between 20% and 40%, which might value Petrolifera between.78 and .91 per share. Our valuation range implicitly relies on the value of a competitive process to maximize value.
