|2. | EARNINGS PER SHARE
|-- | ------------------

The Company accounts for earnings per
share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128  Earnings per Share, (EPS). SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS on
the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is calculated using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS assumes the exercise of all stock options and warrants having exercise prices less than the
average market price of the common stock using the treasury stock method.

Diluted Shares consist of the following:

|3. | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|-- | -----------------------------

FASB Statement 157, Fair
Value Measurements  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In
February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-1 and No. FAS 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years and removes certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157. We do not currently have any significant assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

FASB Statement 141(R), Business Combinations, and FASB Statement 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an
amendment of ARB No. 51In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement 141(R), Business Combinations, which replaced FASB Statement 141, Business Combinations,(SFAS 141(R)). In December 2007, the
FASB also issued FASB Statement 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB No. 51,(SFAS 160). These statements significantly change the accounting for business combinations
and noncontrolling interests. Among other things, and compared to the predecessor guidance, these statements will require more assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, liabilities related to
contingent consideration to be remeasured to fair value each subsequent reporting period, an acquirer in preacquisition periods to expense all acquisition-related costs, and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries initially to be measured at fair
value and classified as a separate component of equity. These statements are to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 to determine the impact of these
statements on our consolidated financial statements.

FASB Statement 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115, (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective
as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008 and did not elect the fair value option for any instruments that were not previously reported at fair
value.

|4. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
|-- | ------------------------

Stock options are granted under
the Companys long-term incentive plan and have an exercise price that may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. In general, stock options granted will become exercisable over a period determined
by the Compensation Committee which in the past has been a five year life, with the options vesting over a three year period. In addition, stock options will become exercisable upon a change in control, unless provided otherwise by the Compensation
Committee. At March 31, 2008 there were 3,121,196 shares subject to options authorized but not granted.

During the three months ended
March 31, 2008, the Company granted no stock options.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized non-cash
compensation expense of $0.2 million, (or $0.00 per basic and diluted share), related to stock options. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized non-cash compensation expense of $0.6 million (or $0.01 per basic and
diluted share). These amounts were recorded as general and administrative expense. Because the Company does not pay significant United States taxes, no amounts were recorded for tax benefits related to excess stock based compensation deductions.

A summary of the unit option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is provided below:

The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the current market value of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. As of March 31, 2008, unrecognized compensation costs totaled $1.1 million. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years. No stock options
vested during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

In January 2006 the consortium elected to
extend the Etame Marin block for an additional five-year term commencing July 2006. The extension consists of a three-year and a two-year follow-on term. The first term carries a minimum work obligation of one exploration well for a minimum $7.0
million exploration expenditure commitment ($2.1 million net to the Company). An additional exploration well is required during the optional two year extension.

In November 2005, the Company signed a production sharing contract for the Mutamba Iroru block onshore Gabon. The five year contract awards the Company exploration rights along the central coast of Gabon. During the
first three years of the contract the Company is required to drill one exploration well and expend a minimum of $4.0 million. During the optional two year extension to the contract, the Company is required to acquire specified levels of seismic
data, drill one exploration well and expend a minimum of $5.0 million. The Company is currently interpreting data from past operators of the area and expects to drill one or two wells in 2008.

In November 2006, the Company signed a production sharing contract for Block 5 offshore Angola. The seven year contract awards the Company exploration
rights to 1.4 million acres offshore central Angola. The Companys working interest in the Contract is 40%. Additionally, the Company is required to carry the Angolan National Oil Company Sonangol P&P for 10% of the work program.
During the first four years of the contract the Company is required to acquire and process 1,000 square kilometers of 3-D seismic, drill two exploration wells and expend a minimum of $29.5 million ($14.8 million net to the Company). During the
optional three year extension to the contract, the Company is required to acquire 600 square kilometers of 3-D seismic data, drill two exploration wells and expend a minimum of $27.2 million ($13.6 million net to the Company). The Company acquired
the 1,175 square kilometers of 3-D data called for in the first exploration period at a cost of $7.5 million ($3.75 million net to the Company) in January 2007.

In December 2007, the Company signed a farm-in agreement for Block 9/28d offshore the United Kingdom in the British North Sea. The Company is obligated to pay its share of the

drilling of one well on the block and a portion of the share of the farminees share of the well. The well was spudded in December 2007 and reached
total depth in January 2008. The well was suspended as a non-commercial discovery in January 2008. In 2007, the Company incurred $8.0 million in exploration costs associated with the well. An additional $6.4 million was incurred in the first quarter
of 2008. The Company is carrying no capitalized amounts on its books for this well.

In January 2008 the Company signed a farm-in agreement
for a 25% working interest in Block 48/25c offshore in the British North Sea. The Company is obligated to pay its share of the drilling of one well on the block and a portion of the share of the farminees share of the well. The block is
located in the Southern Gas Basin and an exploration well is expected to be drilled during the third quarter of 2008. It is anticipated that the Company share of costs for this well will be approximately $8.0 million.

INTRODUCTION

The Company operates oil production sharing contracts in Gabon and Angola, and has interests in two blocks in the British North Sea. In addition, the Company has minor
onshore and offshore domestic United States production in Texas and Louisiana. In Gabon, the Company operates the Etame block, a 750,000 acre block offshore southern Gabon. Three fields are under production, the Etame, Avouma and South Tchibala
fields. During the first quarter of 2008, these fields produced 1.9 million barrels of oil (0.45 million barrels net to the Company). The Company is also developing the Ebouri field on the Etame block. Construction of the production platform
was completed in April 2008 and the platform is being shipped to Gabon for installation. First production from Ebouri is expected in late 2008. In addition to developing Ebouri, the Company has plans to drill three exploration wells on the Etame
block beginning later in 2008.

Also in Gabon, the Company operates the Mutamba block, a 270,000 acre onshore license which the Company acquired in 2005.
The Company anticipates drilling two exploration wells on the block later in 2008. There is currently no production from the Mutamba block at this time.

In Angola, the Company operates Block 5, a 1.4 million acre offshore license which the Company acquired in December 2006. The Company has leased 1140 square kilometers of 3-D data over the block and has a commitment to drill two
exploration wells prior to December 1, 2010. The Company expects to drill the first of the exploration wells during the first half of 2009.

to an changes in working capital other than cash which was down $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to a decrease in working capital other than cash of $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $8.2 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $5.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company invested $4.0 million in the Etame Marin block operations for the development of the Ebouri field and completed the drilling
of a dry well in the North Sea at a cost of $6.4 million for the quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company invested $6.0 million in Etame Marin block operations primarily for development of the Avouma and South Tchibala
fields.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, cash used in financing activities was $2.8 million, consisting of distributions to a minority
interest owner of $1.5 million and purchase of treasury shares of $1.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash used by financing activities of $1.1 million consisted primarily of $1.0 million used for distributions to minority
interest holders. In addition, the Company capitalized $0.1 million of debt issuance costs and received $0.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Capital Expenditures

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company incurred $1.8 million of capital expenditures,
primarily associated with the construction of the Ebouri development platform. During the remainder of 2008, the Company anticipates commencing an exploration program with up to three exploration wells on the Etame block, two exploration wells on
the Mutamba block and one well in the British North Sea. The budget for the exploration wells is approximately $33 million net to the Company. In addition the Company will install the Ebouri platform and drill one or two development wells at a
remaining cost of $20 to $28 million net to the Company.

Liquidity

Historically, the Companys primary sources of capital have been cash flows from operations, private sales of equity, borrowings and purchase money debt. At March 31, 2008, the Company had cash of $79.7
million. The Company believes that this cash combined with cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund the Companys remaining 2008 capital expenditure budget, required debt service payments and additional investments in working
capital resulting from potential growth. As operator of the Etame field and Block 5 in Angola, the Company enters into project related activities on behalf of its working interest partners. The Company generally obtains advances from it
partners prior to significant funding commitments.

In June 2005, the Company executed a loan agreement with the IFC for a $30.0 million revolving credit facility which
is secured by the assets of the Companys Gabon subsidiary. The facility extends through October 2009 at which point it can be extended, or converted to a term loan. Under the revolving credit facility, the IFC holds a pledge of the
Companys interest in the Etame Block, and pledge of the shares of VAALCO Gabon (Etame), Inc., the subsidiary which owns the Companys interest in the Etame Block. The IFC also has a security interest in any crude oil sales contract the
Company enters into for the sale of crude oil from the Etame Block.

Substantially all of the Companys crude oil and gas is sold at the well head at
posted or index prices under short-term contracts. In Gabon, the Company markets its crude oil under an agreement with Shell. While the loss of Shell as a buyer might have a material adverse effect on the Company in the near term, management
believes that the Company would be able to obtain other customers for its crude oil.

Domestically, the Company produces from wells in Brazos County Texas
and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, which contributed $58,000 to revenues in the first quarter of 2008. Domestic production is sold via separate contracts for oil and gas. The Company has access to several alternative buyers for oil and gas sales
domestically.

Oil and Gas Exploration Costs

The
Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas exploration and development costs. All expenditures related to exploration, with the exception of costs of drilling exploratory wells are charged as an expense
when incurred. The costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether commercially producible oil and gas reserves have been discovered. If the determination is made that a well did not encounter potentially economic oil and
gas quantities, the well costs are charged as an expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company also spent $6.4 million on a well in the British North Sea which was suspended as a non-commercial oil discovery and $0.3
million on other exploration activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to three months ended March 31, 2007

Revenues

Total revenues were $42.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $29.1 million for the comparable period in 2007. The Company sold
approximately 446,000 net barrels of oil equivalent at an average price of $94.44 in three months ended March 31, 2008. In the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold approximately 511,000 barrels of oil equivalent at an
average price of $57.03 per barrel. Crude oil production from the Etame, Avouma and South Tchibala fields is averaging 22,500 BOPD compared to approximately 20,500 BOPD in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Crude oil sales are a function of
the number and size of crude oil liftings in each quarter from the FPSO and thus crude oil sales do not always coincide with volumes produced in any given quarter.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total production expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $4.4 million compared to $4.3
million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company matches production expenses with crude oil sales. Any production expenses associated with unsold crude oil inventory are capitalized. Expenses in the three months ended
March 31, 2008 were higher than in the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to higher boat rental costs, higher FPSO costs and higher helicopter costs.

Exploration expense was $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.1 million in the comparable period in 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, exploration expense consisted primarily of $6.4
million of dry hole costs associated with the Companys participation in a well in the British North Sea, and $0.3 million of other exploration costs. Exploration expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included $3.8 million for
the licensing of 1,140 square kilometers of 3-D seismic data for Block 5 in Angola and included $1.0 million for acquisition of 400 square kilometers of seismic data in Gabon.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses were $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $4.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The higher depreciation,
depletion and amortization expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 are due to increasing percentages of total production coming from the Avouma and South Tchibala fields,
which have higher depletion rates than from the Etame field.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
were $2.0 million and $2.8 million for each period, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, the Company incurred stock based compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The
Company incurred $0.4 million of expenses associated with listing on the New York Stock Exchange in the three months ended March 31, 2007. In both of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company benefited from overhead
reimbursement associated with production and development operations on the Etame Block.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income received on amounts on deposit was $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in interest income received on amounts on
deposit reflects lower interest rates in 2008. Interest expense and financing charges for the IFC loan was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007,
reflecting interest on amounts drawn on the IFC revolver.

Income Taxes

Income taxes amounted to $21.4 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2008 and in the three months ended March 31,
2007, the income taxes were all paid in Gabon. Income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2008 were high relative to income from continuing operations because they were all paid in Gabon, and the exploration expenses incurred during that
period were primarily outside of Gabon and therefore not tax deductible in Gabon. Also for the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company had recoverable costs associated with the fourth quarter 2006 drilling program at Avouma and South
Tchibala.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from
discontinued operations in the Philippines in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $27,000. The Philippines offices were closed in 2007 and no costs were incurred in 2008.

Minority Interest

The Company incurred $1.1 million and $1.2 million in minority interest charges in the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These minority interest charges were associated with VAALCO Energy (International), Inc., a subsidiary that is 90.01% owned by the Company.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008
was $1.8 million, compared to net income of $4.6 million for the same period in 2007. Higher production costs, depreciation, depletion and amortization costs, exploration expense and taxes contributed to the lower net income in 2008.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------

The
Companys results of operations are dependent upon the difference between prices received for its oil and gas production and the costs to find and produce such oil and gas. Oil and gas prices have been and are expected in the future to be
volatile and subject to fluctuations based on a number of factors beyond the control of the Company. The Company does not presently have any active hedges in place, but may do so in the future.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

The Company maintains disclosure
controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it file or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
