                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.    UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The consolidated financial statements of VAALCO Energy, Inc. and
      Subsidiaries (collectively, "VAALCO" or the "Company"), included herein
      are unaudited, but include all adjustments which the Company deems
      necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of
      operations for the interim period. Such results are not necessarily
      indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The Balance Sheet
      at December 31, 1996 has been taken from the audited financial statements
      at that date. 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, 1996.


2.     CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS

      During the First Quarter of 1997, the Company completed the restructuring
      of its international assets. Certain marketable securities held by the
      Company in Alcorn Petroleum and Minerals Corporation, a publicly listed
      Philippines company were sold for a gain of $0.7 million. Proceeds of $3.4
      million were used to retire debt. In addition, the Company sold the
      balance of its assets in India, consisting of a 4% net profit interest in
      the PY-3 Field, and a 20 percent working interest in the Gulf of Cambay
      Block CB-OS/1. The assets, were sold to Hardy Oil & Gas (U.K.) Ltd. for a
      gain of $2.5 million.

      In the Philippines, the Company announced a farmout in the fourth quarter
      of 1996 which will result in a $7 million 3-D seismic survey program over
      acreage held by the Company. Seismic acquisition commenced in February
      1997.

      In Gabon, the Company completed the documentation associated with the
      previously announced letter of intent with Western Atlas Afrique, Ltd. for
      acquisition of seismic and drilling of a well on the Etame Contract. The
      formal participation agreement for the farm-in was executed on April 4,
      1997.

      Details of both the  Philippines  and the Gabon farm-ins can be found in
      "Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition
      and Results of Operations."

3.    DEBT OBLIGATIONS

      The Company was guarantor of a note issued by its Philippines subsidiaries
      to borrow $6 million in 1993. At year end 1996, the note had a balance of
      $3.3 million principal plus $0.2 million accrued interest. In February
      1997, in connection with the sale of the marketable securities of Alcorn
      Petroleum and Minerals Corporation, the Company repaid $3.4 million of the
      total $3.5 million owed. The balance was paid in April 1997.

                                       6
<PAGE>
      In December 1996, the Company issued $0.6 million in debt associated with
      the acquisition of certain properties in the Gulf of Mexico. The loan is
      secured by an assignment of a revenue interests ranging from 45% to 65% in
      certain properties. The loan is recourse only to the assigned revenue
      interests, and is not guaranteed by the Company. The balance on the note
      at March 31, 1997 was $0.4 million.

4.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128") "Earnings Per Share".
      SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per
      share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or
      potential common stock. This statement simplifies the standards for
      computing EPS previously found in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
      15, "Earnings Per Share," and makes them comparable to international EPS
      standards. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for
      periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier
      application is not permitted. This statement requires restatement of all
      prior-period EPS data presented. Considering the guidelines as prescribed
      by SFAS 128, management believes that the adoption of this statement will
      not have a material effect on EPS and thus pro forma EPS, as suggested for
      all interim and annual periods prior to required adoption, have been
      omitted.

5.    RESTATEMENT

      Subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements, the Company's
      management determined that a receivable payment was inadvertantly recorded
      to revenues net of operating expense. The accompanying financial
      statements have been modified accordingly. This results in a restatement
      of the Company's accounts receivable, revenues and operating expenses.

      A summary of the effects of the adjustments follows:

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

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

      Historically, the Company's primary source of capital resources has been
from its production operations in the Philippines, assets sales and the issuance
of debt. The Company currently produces the Nido and Matinloc fields in the
Philippines at approximately 870 BOPD.

      Through a diversification program undertaken by management, the Company
has acquired producing assets in the Gulf of Mexico of the United States and
interests in two blocks in Gabon. The Company has also accumulated approximately
1,603 acres in the Wilcox trend of Goliad County, Texas.

      In order to execute the diversification program, the Company has, among
other activities, been actively seeking farmout partners to progress the
development of its prospects. In this regard, the Company has successfully
entered into farmout agreements in one of its Gabon blocks and in its
Philippines blocks in exchange for partially carried work programs. For the
domestic acquisition program, the Company will, in the near-term, rely on the
private placement of equity and issuance of debt to raise capital for these
acquisitions. A more detailed description of the Company's activities is
described below.

United States

      In December 1996, the Company issued $618,000 in debt associated with the
acquisition of certain properties in the Gulf of Mexico. The loan is secured by
an assignment of revenue interests in certain of the properties. The loan is
recourse only to the assigned revenue interests, and is not guaranteed by the
Company. The balance of the note of March 31, 1997 was $373,000. The Gulf of
Mexico properties consist of interests in seven offshore fields in ten lease
blocks. Four of the platforms in three of the fields, High Island blocks A-313,
A-314 and A-280, are being operated by VAALCO. The balance of the package
consists of non-operated interests in the West Cameron, Vermilion and Ship Shoal
areas of the Gulf of Mexico. No significant capital expenditures are anticipated
in 1997 for these properties.

      In October 1994, the Company acquired a working interest in approximately
1,200 acres in Goliad County, Texas, in exchange for cash and warrants to
purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.10 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"). The warrants have a term of three years and will consist of the
right to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50
per share and 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per
share, subject to the terms and conditions of the acquisition agreement. A
working interest in an additional 403 acres was acquired during 1996. The
Company has an average 76% net revenue interest in the acreage and plans to
analyze this property in 1997 for viability. The three year lease has no
drilling obligation requirements. Capital expenditures for 1997 will depend upon
the outcome of analysis currently being done on the area.

                                       8
<PAGE>
Gabon

      In July 1995, the Company acquired two blocks offshore Gabon, the Equata
block and the Etame block. Both blocks contain previous discoveries that the
Company is currently evaluating to determine their commercial viability. The
Company and its partners have an obligation to the Government of Gabon to obtain
approximately 1,500 line kilometers of seismic data and to drill one well on the
Etame block during the three-year term of the license. In November 1996, the
Company entered into a letter of intent with a Western Atlas Afrique, Ltd. a
subsidiary of Western Atlas which will perform the required seismic surveys and
pay a disproportionate 80% of the cost, up to $4.7 million, of the estimated
$5.8 million (dry hole cost) commitment well to earn a 65% interest in the
concession. The Company and its partners will be responsible for 20% of the cost
(35% over $4.7 million) of the commitment well. VAALCO's share of the dry hole
cost of the commitment well is estimated to be $0.7 million.

Philippines

      In October 1996, VAALCO and the other Service Contract No. 14 and Service
Contract No. 6 consortium members entered into a farm-out agreement wherein the
farmee, an Australian company, is required to shoot a $7 million 3-D seismic
program over the service contracts during early 1997. The Australian farmee
company will earn a 35% interest in the blocks for performing the work. In
addition, the Australian company has the option to drill two wells, one on each
Service Contract, to earn up to an additional 25% interest in each Service
Contract. Seismic acquisition under the farm out agreement commenced in February
1997. No significant capital expenditures are anticipated in 1997 for the
Philippines operations.

Issuance of Recourse Debt

      The Company, as guarantor, entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") on June 23, 1993 for its Philippine subsidiaries to borrow $6
million, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2%, from a European institutional
lender. The subsidiaries drew down $6 million against the facility in the third
quarter of 1993. Proceeds were utilized for further development of the West
Linapacan "A" Field. At year end 1996, the balance on the note stood at $3.3
million plus $0.2 million accrued interest. In February 1997, the Company sold
additional pledged securities and with the proceeds paid $3.4 million of the
$3.5 million balance due on the note. The remainder of the note was fully paid
in April 1997.

Other Activities

      In March 1997, the Company sold its Gulf of Cambay concession, in India
and its 4% net profits interest in the CY-OS/2 concession, also in India, to
Hardy Oil & Gas (UK) Limited for $2.5 million. The Company applied $1.0 million
of the proceeds from the sale to complete repayment of the non-recourse loan
made to the Company by Hardy in 1996. With the completion of this sale, the
Company sold all remaining interest in India.

      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

                                       9
<PAGE>
securities, assets 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.

Cash Flows

      Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997 was $0.7 million, as compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 1996.
The change was primarily due to changes in current assets and reductions of
accounts payable.

      Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March
31, 1997 was $4.5 million, as compared to net cash used in investing activities
of $0.2 million for the same period in 1996. The 1997 amount reflects cash
received from the sale of marketable securities and the Company's interest in
India.

      Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997 was $3.1 million, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities
of $0.2 million for the same period in 1996. The 1997 amount reflects the
payment of the Company's long term debt.

      Item 2 of this document includes forward looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the Company
believes the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are based
upon reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance these
expectations will be achieved. Important factors which could cause actual
results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include general
economic, business and market conditions, the volatility of the price of oil and
gas, competition, development and operating costs and the factors that are
disclosed in conjunction with the forward looking statements included herein.

                                       10
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Amounts stated hereunder have been rounded to the nearest $100,000,
however, percentage changes have been calculated using actual amounts.

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED MARCH 31, 1997  COMPARED TO THREE  MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1996

REVENUES

Total crude oil sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $0.4
million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 76%, as compared to $1.9 million for
1996. The 1996 revenues relate to the Company's oil production in the
Philippines, which continues to decline. The 1997 revenues include revenues
relating to the Philippines, as well as gas revenues relating to the Company's
Gulf of Mexico operations.

Gain on sale of assets for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $3.3
million. The gain resulted from in March 1997, the Company sold its Gulf of
Cambay concession and its 4% net profits interest in the CY-OS/2 concession,
both in India, to Hardy Oil & Gas (UK) Limited for $2.5 million. With the
completion of this sale, the Company sold all remaining interest that it had in
India. The Company recognized a gain on sale of assets of $2.5 million in the
first quarter of 1997 as a result of this transaction. Also in February 1997 the
Company sold marketable securities recognizing a gain of $.7 million.

EXPENSES

Production expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $0.3 million,
a decrease of $0.9 million, or 79%, as compared to $1.2 million for the same
period in 1996. The decrease is primarily due to declining production in the
Philippines, offset by production costs incurred in the first quarter of 1997
relating to the Gulf of Mexico properties.

Depletion for 1997 relates to the Gulf of Mexico properties and no depletion
expense was recorded in the first quarter of 1997 for the Philippine properties,
as property was fully depleted. The 1996 amount reflects $0.6 million in
depletion for the Philippine operations.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March
31, 1997 was $2.8 million as compared to a net loss attributable to common
stockholders of $0.7 million for the same period in 1996. The 1997 amount is
primarily due to the recognition of a gain resulting from the sale of the
Company's interests in India.
