Ryder Scott Valuation

• According to Ryder Scott, Candax’s 2P Reserves of 3.76

million barrels on a present value basis (10%) are valued at

$119.49 million

• The valuation suggests a price per share of $0.095

• Please see the Appendix for details

Purchase of PA Resources Working Interests

• Total amount of $4m, paid in January (Escrow account)

– EZZ: $3 M (13.62% of WI)

– EBB: $1 M (23.90% of WI)

• Working Capital adjustments on EZZ ($884K) and EBB ($104K) to be

recovered in June/July

– no impact on final cash out (working capital adjustment balance with

an equivalent increase of our overlift position vs. ETAP).

• Results:

Additional Reserves (in kbbls): Proven (338 = 117+321), Probable

(387 = 86+301)

Additional PV10 (in $M): $28.9 = $6.5 + $22.4

WI interests Consolidation

• Related party deal based on acquisition costs.

• Total amount of $1.8 M, paid in May:

• ROB $738 K (20%)

• EBB $1,070 K (2.32%)

• Results:

Additional Reserves (in kbbls): Proven (38 = 7+ 31), Probable (92 =

63+29)

Additional PV10 (in $M): $3.9 = $1.7 + $2.2

Purchase of MGH Working Interests

WI interests Consolidation

Cash Out = $5.8 M for $32.8 M of additional PV10 (Candax market value

currently at 53% of its PV10).

Improvement of MARETAP governance: 2 remaining partners on

Ezzaouia and Belli (ETAP & ECUMED)

according to our vision of the potential of the fields and allow us to bring in

partners who share that vision

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Production Update

• Recent pro-active field practices have started to move production in a much

more positive direction

above 5000 bbls/month

Short term

0

Update on Ezzaouia

• On going intervention on most of wells for tubing and jet

pump cleaning induced a very low current production (below

200 bopd) for most of Q1.

• EZZ-18 WO started in April. BHA retrieved beginning of May

showing cement obstruction. WO duration: 6 weeks. Back in

production on May 24th with jet pump re-installed. WO cost =

1.5 MM$

• EZZ 17 and EZZ 9 scale inhibitor injection pump connection

completed mid may.

• EZZ 2 ST WO currently ongoing . Expected back in

Production by beginning of July.

• Slickline operations ongoing on EZZ11 (perforation) and

EZZ1 (fishing)

Objective: to bring back a « decent »

production (ie above 700 bopd)

• Today and without the EBB2 W/O completed, the average daily prod is

around 670 bopd.

• Knowing that the previous production of EZZ-2 was above 200 bopd, we are

confident to reach a production level above 800 bopd.

• Approx 2,5 MM scf/d of gas are produced from

EBB5 in order to lift 3 M+ Bbl of water out of EBB3

with the expectation of a gas coning breakthrough.

• This leads to 100 bbl of liquid produced at the CPF

(approx 75% of condensate) and gas flaring (max

authorized 4 MM scf/d).

• No clear sign of gas breakthrough.

Previous status:

Our plan:

• DGE approved April 4th the use of EBB4 as a gas

injection well (this has been done 4 months @ 6 M

scf/d in 2009).

• Keep flaring at minimum (0,5 MM for compressor

and 0,3 MM for LP gas).

• Stop water production.

Update on El Bibane

• Initial testing of the gas cycling program has yielded very positive results

• The well was re-opened and the well resumed

production on April 23 rd. Operations in line with budget

and planning (1.650 M$).

• The work over was successful in re-perforating the

upper zone, however, the re-perforation of the lower

zone has not resulted in production from that zone. This

means that the well will likely not reach the targeted

production level of greater than 100 barrels per day.

• We know now that there is significant production from a

narrow layer of oil consisting of only a few meters. The

full assessment of the lower layer, with a much larger

thickness, is still to be done.

Update on Robbana

Sept 11

Feb 12

May 12 • While we are working to produce Robbana 1 at the

maximum level possible, we are reprocessing and re-

interpreting the 2D seismic to better understand the

structure of this field for its 2 horizons.

Update on Belli/Al Manzah

4

BELLI

Candax is elaborating a field reactivation work

program to validate the possibility of a partial re-

charging of the producing reservoir and to re-establish

production

Belli 1 well is currently connected to the Abiod

formation but needs to be re-worked to be connected

to the oil bearing Bou Dabbous formation as it was

during its production phase

AL MANZAH

Estimated Proven and Probable reserves of

150,000 to 160,000 barrels

Field has produced 1.8 million barrels

Not a priority for 2012 but offers future value to the

Candax story

Update on Deep Triassic

Multi TCF gas prospect in both the El Bibane

and the Ezzaouia concessions

Original targets of 1980 prospection

Geosciences focus for 2012

Update on Madagascar

Billion barrel potential analogous to fields in region

Operator is Afren with 90% working interest

First Drilling expected to take place in early 2013

– Madagascar = $1 M (2D seismic acquisition program)

• Corporate Income Tax = $1.9 M

• Others Admin/Debt/Corporate = $6.5 M

• Revenue = $5.9 M + $0.9 M of Working Capital adjustments.

Forecast Production

• EBB production trending up at over 120 bopd net in June 2012 (Pilot

phase of gas cycling).

• EZZ production trending up at over 294 bopd net in June 2012 with 2

wells to be restarted.

• Conservative approach on 2013 FCST:

• Only include additional production of one Side Track on Ezzaouia.

• Decline rate on the Jurassic considered at 1.8%/month.

• No production on Belli

OUTLOOK FOR THE

FUTURE

Building Candax Equity Story

Candax is a rebirth story

with an approach focused

on reactivation of mature

fields.

The skill set of the current

Candax executive team is

driven by an oil services

background and mentality.

Candax has self sustaining producing

assets supporting potentially

transformational assets: •Exploration of deep triassic and madagascar,

•Re-activation of Robbana, Belli and Al Manzah.

Candax is committed to

become a capital markets

vehicle which investors could

support.

Experienced board of

directors, supportive major

shareholders (Geofinance,

IFC and Actis).

The strategy was articulated along 2 steps with the Board 6 months ago:

• Step 1: Focus on Operational Excellence: Patiently, systematically grow profile of company through operational success stories

• Step 2: Build through Partnerships/Acquisitions: Medium term, seek out partnerships and acquisitions which strengthen the company both from a financial and operational perspective

Based on Current Working Program, Candax is achieving the first step of

its strategy: self sustaining producing assets support Company long

term activity.

Where we are

The strategy was articulated along 2 steps with the Board 6 months ago:

• Step 1: Focus on Operational Excellence: Patiently, systematically grow profile of company through operational success stories

• Step 2: Build through Partnerships/Acquisitions: Medium term, seek out partnerships and acquisitions which strengthen the company both from a financial and operational perspective

Based on our Geosciences ongoing work and improved working

interests ownership, we believe we will attract partners and financing

to proceed with the step 2 and develop of our potentially

transformational assets.
