Glass Lewis, an independent proxy advisory service, supports immediate change to
VAALCO&#8217;s current Board of Directors and agrees with our position that new
independent representation on the Company&#8217;s Board is necessary. Moreover, we are
astounded that VAALCO is attempting to mislead its stockholders by suggesting in

clear recommendation for change at the Board level.&#8221;</font></div>

case, we agree with many of the Dissident&#8217;s concerns, especially concerning the
Company&#8217;s stock price performance and valuation relative to its peers. In
addition, we are concerned that the board recently adopted a shareholder rights

addition, we agree with the Dissident that the Company is undervalued compared
to its peers. For each of the past five fiscal years, we find that the Company&#8217;s
multiples of enterprise value to revenue, enterprise value to EBITDA and price
to earnings fall substantially below the mean and median multiples derived from
the peer set (source: FactSet).&#8221;</font></div>

echo the Dissident&#8217;s concerns that the Company&#8217;s earnings per share have
generally decreased on a quarterly basis since the third quarter of 2006,
despite increasing revenues. Net income fell by approximately 52.9% from fiscal
2006 to 2007.&#8221;</font></div>

that these measures of the Company&#8217;s operating performance have also worsened
over the past year. Despite a 27.2% gain in revenue from fiscal 2006 to 2007,
the Company&#8217;s EBITDA margins, operating margins, and net margins all declined
during this period. In addition, the Company&#8217;s ROE and ROA have both declined
steadily on an annual basis from fiscal 2004 to 2007.&#8221;</font></div>

board&#8217;s decision to adopt a poison pill without first seeking shareholder
approval leads us to question whether the board is truly acting in the best

dismal stock performance and declining earnings, we believe the board may
benefit from the presence of new independent directors.&#8221;</font></div>
