Investment Brief – Oilexco is a public international junior oil and gas exploration company that is focused on opportunities in the
U.K. North Sea. Through a carefully thought-out and executed strategy, the Company has discovered an oil field due to come onstream
in Q4/06 at approximately 30,000 bbl/d and has unrisked exposure to significant incremental production from new exploration projects.

Investment Thesis
Oilexco’s management is a well-experienced, hands-on team that has
developed and executed a strategy that is on the verge of returning great
success. Combining the operational and technical expertise of senior
management with the geological and engineering skills of the remainder of the
team, Oilexco will deliver meaningful production growth late in 2006, with
significant exposure to other high-impact projects in 2006 and beyond. We
recommend the Company to investors for this exposure. We are maintaining our
rating for Oilexco Incorporated (OIL–T) of SECTOR OUTPERFORM and our
12-month target price of $12.00 per share.

Operational Update
Oilexco announced the production test results for the final well drilled at
Nicol in the U.K. North Sea. The well flowed at 10,165 bbl/d on testing. We
note, however, that this rate was again limited by testing equipment aboard the
Sedco 712 semi-submersible drilling rig, as well as by restrictions imposed by
the U.K. regulatory authorities as to how much oil could be burned. The
following table summarizes all of the individual Brenda/Nicol wells’ test rates.

Brenda/Nicol Field Test Summary

Calculated Sand-face Rate
Test Rate (8% drawdown)
Brenda D1 Production Well 6,301 bbl/d 10,000 bbl/d
Brenda D2 Production Well 9,765 bbl/d 14,000 bbl/d
Brenda D3 Production Well 10,417 bbl/d 20,000 bbl/d
Nicol N1w Production Well 10,165 bbl/d 12,000 bbl/d
Total 36,648 bbl/d 56,000 bbl/d
Source: Haywood Securities

Combined with the three Brenda wells, the Nicol results are very positive for
Oilexco. We note that the Nicol test did not encounter any sand or water, and
neither did any of the three Brenda wells. Oil wells in the North Sea have the
potential for high decline rates as a result of water influx, and we are encouraged
there was no water or sand production, as both are indicators of early production
decline. All four wells have been completed with subsea wellheads and are ready
to be tied in to the production manifold, to be installed in September, with first
production on schedule for sometime in October.

While indicated test volumes are impressive, we note that the wells will not
be produced at these rates. Oilexco reiterated in the press release announcing
the Nicol test results that good reservoir management practices will be observed
in order to maximize the recovery of the oil reserves and prevent premature water
breakthrough. Oilexco has a state-of-the-art subsea manifold system whereby it
can test every well in “real time” and adjust each well’s production as required to
fully exploit the oil at Brenda and Nicol. Based on a 56,000 bbl/d total calculated
flow rate, we would expect that the four wells would be produced at 50% to 60%
of the 56,000 bbl/d total or 28,000 bbl/d to 33,600 bbl/d.

Revising 2006 and 2007 Production Estimates

As a result of the test data from the Brenda/Nicol field, we are adjusting our
production estimates up. Note that our 2007 estimates now include risked
production from the soon-to-be appraised Sheryl field. We have now deferred
production from the Black Horse discovery until the middle of 2008. As we
noted previously, our increased commodity prices result in Oilexco now
becoming taxable in Q4/07. For comparative purposes, we are also adding a
preliminary estimate of 2008 production and cash flow on an after-tax basis.

2006 Outlook
The rest of 2006 will see significant news flow as Oilexco continues with
North Sea operations. We are again updating the previously published table
below with the results of the Brenda/Nicol production well testing. The
remainder of 2006 will be a mix of production and exploration news and
promises to provide positive support to Oilexco’s share price.

As previously noted, Oilexco has contracted the Sedco 712 semi-submersible

drilling rig through to 2010. The table above highlights activity only into early
2007, but Oilexco has significant drilling planned well into 2007. In addition, the
results of the 24th Licensing Round are due to be announced before the end of
Q3/06. As Oilexco is one of the most active independent operators in the U.K.
North Sea, we believe that it bid on prospective acreage and will also continue to
evaluate other farm-in opportunities.

Valuation
To value Oilexco shares, we use a multiple of cash flow. The shares currently
trade at 11.8x our estimated 2006 fully diluted CFPS but only 2.5x our 2007 fully
diluted CFPS. Our production profile assumes production from Brenda/Nicol
coming on midway through Q4/06, with additional production from Sheryl
coming onstream in Q4/07. Our 12-month target reflects 4.3x 2007 estimated
after tax fully-diluted CFPS, but note that Oilexco becomes taxable in Q4/07
under our assumptions.

Rating Structure
SECTOR OUTPERFORM – Haywood’s top rating category. The analyst believes that the security will
outperform its sector. Furthermore, the shares are forecast to provide attractive returns measured against
alternative investments when considering risk profiles. The rating carries a minimum total return threshold of
15% for equities and 12% for trusts. The rating applies to companies that have tangible underlying assets that give
a measure of support to the market valuation. The rating category considers both the absolute and relative values
in assigning the highest rating on the security.
SECTOR PERFORM – The analyst believes that the security will trade with tight correlation to its underlying
sector. Furthermore, the target price (together with any anticipated distributions) is at or above the market price,
and forecast risk-adjusted returns are attractive relative to alternative investments.

Risk Profile Parameters

SPECULATIVE: – Investment for risk accounts only. Companies within this category carry greater financial
and/or execution risk. All junior/venture companies that carry great financial and/or liquidity risk will be tagged
“SPECULATIVE”. A stock indicating a SPECUALTIVE risk is determined from sector specific criteria outlined
below listed below.

Risk Profile Parameters – Oil and Gas Sector

Forecast Risk: High – Haywood forecasts are below guidance. The Company has a history of missing targets
and/or Haywood expects guidance to be lowered. Limited hedging increases commodity risk beyond peers. To
