Balkany, a Managing Member of Nanes Balkany Partners LLC, the General Partner of
Nanes Delorme Partners, stated: &#8220;We believe that VAALCO has great potential, but
that the Company will continue to materially underperform without new
independent representatives on the Board. In addition, rather than provide a
clear strategic plan to rebuild stockholder value, the Company has chosen to
evade the critical issues facing VAALCO by filing a desperate and baseless
lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising stockholders and &#8220;chilling&#8221; the democratic
process and to defend its failures by launching a campaign rooted in misleading
facts and unnecessary scare tactics designed to distract stockholders from the
Company&#8217;s poor performance. We believe the current incumbent directors &#8211; most of
who own little to no stock in the Company &#8211; will say and do just about anything
to entrench its members, protect its own interests and ignore the legitimate
concerns of stockholders.&#8221;</font></div>

      investments, Nanes Delorme Partners saw in VAALCO a company significantly
      undervalued and severely mismanaged. We have always been clear that
      proactive steps, like a review of strategic alternatives that could result
      in the public auction of the Company, are necessary because of the
      Board<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#8217;</font>s
      lack of sincere interest in improving the Company<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#8217;</font>s operating

      Balkany added, &#8220;VAALCO&#8217;s dismal performance under the current Board and
      management is undeniable. The Company&#8217;s 2007 year-end net earnings were
      down more than 50% compared to 2006 and the Company&#8217;s first quarter 2008
      net earnings decreased approximately 60% compared to 1Q 2007. We were very
      disappointed that, in an era where the price of oil has reached record
      levels and where the Company sold its production for a 65% higher price,
      that the Company reported a nearly 60% decline in net income in 1Q 2008
      and blamed these poor results on the excuse of &#8216;higher
      taxes&#8217;.&#8221;</font></div>

Balkany finally noted, &#8220;We strongly believe that without change to the Board,
the Company&#8217;s value will continue to erode. Indeed, during the past 18 months
prior to our involvement, VAALCO&#8217;s stock was down 32%. If elected, our highly
qualified independent directors will comprise a minority of the VAALCO Board and
are committed to working with the other directors to enact corporate governance
