PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Our Business
------------

Chaparral Resources, Inc. is an independent oil and gas development and
production company. Our strategy is to maximize stockholder returns from
existing assets. Through intermediate holding companies, Central Asian Petroleum
(Guernsey) Ltd., a Guernsey company ("CAP-G"), Korporatsiya Mangistau Terra
International Limited ("MTI"), a Kazakhstan company, and Central Asian
Petroleum, Inc., a Delaware company ("CAP-D"), we own a 60% interest in ZAO
Karakudukmunay ("KKM"), a Kazakh limited liability company that holds a
governmental license to develop the Karakuduk Oil Field. All references to
"Chaparral," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Chaparral Resources, Inc., and
Chaparral's greater than 50% owned subsidiaries, unless indicated otherwise.

Since 1995, the business of Chaparral has been the development of the Karakuduk
Field, a 16,900-acre oil field in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The U.S. based oil
and gas assets of Chaparral were divested during 1996 and 1997 to help fund the
development of the Karakuduk Field. The Government of the former Soviet Union
discovered the Karakuduk Field in 1972 and drilled 22 exploratory and
development wells, none of which produced commercially. KKM began to
aggressively develop the Karakuduk Field in early 2000, re-establishing oil
production from a majority of the existing wells and drilling a total of 23 new
wells through to September 2001. In February 2003, KKM commenced a new drilling
campaign to further develop and commercially produce the oil reserves in the
Karakuduk Field. By the end of 2005 the well stock had risen to 61 producing
wells, 9 water injection wells and 9 wells that were temporarily shut in, plus
one well awaiting completion at year end.

In December 2004 KazMunayGaz JSC ("KMG"), the state owned national petroleum and
transportation company of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which owned a 40% interest
in KKM, sold its entire interest in KKM to Nelson Resources Limited ("Nelson").
Since May 2004, Nelson has owned approximately 60% of the outstanding common
stock of Chaparral. On October 14, 2005 LUKOIL Overseas Holding Limited ("LUKOIL
Overseas"), a wholly owned subsidiary of OAO LUKOIL ("LUKOIL") acquired a 65%
interest in Nelson. On December 5, 2005 LUKOIL Overseas acquired the remaining
shares of Nelson. On the same date Nelson was amalgamated with Caspian
Investments Resources Limited ("Caspian") and Nelson ceased to exist.

Currently, the Karakuduk Field is our only oil field. We have no other
significant subsidiaries other than CAP-G, MTI and CAP-D.

Merger
------

On March 13, 2006 Chaparral announced that it had entered into an agreement with
LUKOIL Overseas to effect a merger into a wholly owned subsidiary of Lukoil. On
the effective date of this merger, all issued and outstanding common stock of
Chaparral will be exchanged for $5.80 per share in cash. The transaction is
subject to the approval of a meeting of stockholders expected to be held in May
2006 and certain other conditions including the receipt of all regulatory
approvals and consents. Further details are contained within the form 8-K filed
by the Company with the SEC on March 14, 2006, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

On March 14, 2006, a lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery in the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle County by Robert Kelly against Chaparral, LUKOIL
Overseas and the directors of Chaparral requesting among other things, that the
suit be designated a class action in favor of stockholders, that the merger be
declared unlawful and unenforceable because it was entered into in breach of the
individual defendants' fiduciary duties and that the merger be enjoined. This
summary and description of the Robert Kelly complaint is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the complaint, which has been filed as Exhibit 99.2 to
this Form 10-K.

Crude Oil Sales
---------------

We derive substantially all of our revenue through the production and sale of
crude oil from the Karakuduk Field. We are continuing to develop the Karakuduk
Field from which we began generating revenue from the sale of crude oil during
2000. KKM recognized $150.58 million in revenue in 2005 from the sale of
approximately 3.30 million barrels of crude oil, net of royalty. In 2004, KKM
recorded $78.45 million in revenue based upon sales of approximately 2.76
million barrels of crude oil, net of royalty.

KKM sells the majority of its crude oil on the "far" abroad export market. Sales
at world market prices were responsible for approximately 98% of KKM's oil sales
revenue in 2005. Currently, KKM has a five year crude oil sales agreement in
place with Vitol Central Asia S.A. ("Vitol") for the sale of KKM's oil
production quota for the export market. This agreement was signed in June 2005.
KKM is responsible for obtaining export quotas and all other permissions from
Kazakhstan, Russia, or other relevant jurisdictions necessary to transport and
deliver KKM's oil production to the off-taker, which is currently FOB Odessa on
the Black Sea. The off-taker is responsible for nominating and coordinating oil
tankers, if necessary, and arranging for the lifting of the crude oil purchased.

In 2005 and 2004, all of KKM's crude oil export sales were to Vitol.

Transportation routes for our crude oil exports, and hence off-take points, are
constrained by the Ministry of Energy's quota allocations. The majority of our
crude oil is transported via the Kaztransoil and Transneft pipeline systems to
the port of Odessa in Ukraine. The other export point is the port of Primosk on
the Baltic Sea. Sales prices at the port locations are based on the average
quoted Urals crude oil price from Platt's Crude Oil Marketwire for the three
days following the bill of lading date. The actual price is net of deductions
that include freight charges and, if applicable, the cost associated with the
"detention time" of the tankers transiting the Turkish Straits in and out of the
Black Sea. Throughout 2005, all export sales have been made to Vitol, who have a
major share of oil exports from Odessa which has enabled them to become the most
competitive off-taker, capable of combining export parcels from different crude
oil suppliers to make cost efficient cargoes of up to 80,000 tons in one
lifting. Under the contract terms with Vitol, payment is made within 30 days of
receipt of the bill of lading and KKM's sales invoice, unless otherwise agreed
by both parties.

Under the terms of KKM's Agreement with the Ministry of Energy and Natural
Resources for Exploration, Development and Production of Oil in the Karakuduk
Oil Field (the "Agreement"), we have a right to export, and receive export quota
for, 100% of the production from the Karakuduk Field. However, oil producers
within Kazakhstan are required to supply a portion of their crude oil production
to the local market to meet domestic energy needs. The domestic market does not
permit world market prices to be obtained, resulting in, on average,
approximately $28 to $29 lower cash flow per barrel in 2005 compared with $15 to
$16 in 2004. Furthermore, the Government of Kazakhstan has not allocated
sufficient export quota to allow us to sell all of our available crude oil
production on the world market. We are taking steps to reduce our local market
obligations and to obtain an export quota that will enable us to sell all of our
crude oil production on the export market. The Company has determined that it is
no longer in the best interests of the Company to pursue arbitration proceedings
in Switzerland for the breach of the Agreement by the Government of Kazakhstan,
instead we intend to resolve this matter amicably. See Item 7 - Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Risks of Oil and Gas Activities
-------------------------------

The current market for oil is characterized by instability. This instability has
caused fluctuations in world oil prices in recent years and there is no
assurance of any price stability in the future. The production and sale of oil
from the Karakuduk Field may not be commercially feasible under market
conditions prevailing in the future. The price we receive for our oil may not be
sufficient to generate revenues in excess of our costs of production or provide
sufficient cash flow to meet our investment and working capital requirements.

We make no assurance that we will be able to sell oil that we produce nor about
the price at which such sales will be made. Our estimated future net revenue
from oil sales is dependent on the price of oil, as well as the quantity of oil
produced. The volatility of the energy market makes it difficult to estimate
future prices of oil. Various factors beyond our control affect these prices.
These factors include:

     o    domestic and worldwide supplies of oil;
     o    the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
          Countries (OPEC) to agree to and maintain oil price and production
          controls;
     o    political instability or armed conflict in oil-producing regions;
     o    the price of foreign imports;
     o    the level of consumer demand;
     o    the price and availability of alternative fuels;
     o    the availability of pipeline capacity and;
     o    changes in existing federal regulation and price controls.

It is likely that oil prices will continue to fluctuate as they have in the
past. Current oil prices may not be representative of oil prices in either the
near- or long-term. We do not expect oil prices to maintain current price levels
and do not base our capital spending decisions on current market prices.

No assurances can be given that we will be able to successfully develop,
produce, and market the oil reserves underlying the Karakuduk Field. The
development of oil reserves inherently involves a high degree of risk, even
though the reserves are proved. Our risks are increased because our activities
are concentrated in areas where political or other unknown circumstances could
adversely affect commercial development of the reserves. Costs necessary to
acquire, explore, and develop oil reserves are substantial. No assurances can be
given that we will recover the costs incurred to acquire and develop the
Karakuduk Field.

Development of oil reserves is a high risk endeavor and is frequently marked by
unprofitable efforts, such as:

     o    drilling unproductive wells;
     o    drilling productive wells which do not produce commercial quantities
          and;
     o    production of developed oil reserves which cannot be marketed or
          achieve an adequate market price.

There are many additional risks associated with drilling for and producing oil
and gas. These risks include blowouts, cratering, fires, equipment failure and
accidents. Any of these events could result in personal injury, loss of life and
environmental and/or property damage. If such an event does occur, we may be
held liable and we are not fully insured against all of these risks. In fact,
many of these risks cannot be insured against. The occurrence of such events
that are not fully covered by insurance may require us to pay damages, which
would reduce our profits. As of March 1, 2006, we have not experienced any
material losses due to these events.

Risks of Foreign Operations
---------------------------

Our ability to develop the Karakuduk Field is dependent on fundamental contracts
with governmental agencies in Kazakhstan, including the Agreement and KKM's
petroleum license with the Government allowing KKM to operate and develop the
Karakuduk Field. Kazakhstan is a relatively new country and, as is inherent in
such developing markets, there is some uncertainty as to the interpretation and
application of Kazakh law and the stability of the region.

                                       3
<PAGE>

The laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan govern our operations and a number of our
significant agreements. As a result, we may be subject to arbitration in
Kazakhstan or to the jurisdiction of the Kazakh courts. Even if we seek relief
in foreign territories such as the courts of the United States or Switzerland,
we may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of
those courts.

The export of oil from Kazakhstan depends on access to transportation routes,
particularly the Russian pipeline system. Transportation routes are limited in
number, and access to them is regulated and restricted. If any of our agreements
relating to oil transportation or marketing are breached, or if we are unable to
renew such agreements upon their expiration, we may be unable to transport or
market our oil. Also, a breakdown of the Kazakhstan or Russian pipeline systems
could delay or even halt our ability to sell oil. Any such event would result in
reduced revenues.

Obtaining the necessary quotas and permissions to export production through the
Russian pipeline system can be extremely difficult, if not impossible in some
circumstances. Our agreements with the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
grant us the right to export, and to receive export quota. We cannot, however,
provide any assurances that we will receive export quota or any other approvals
required to export and deliver our production in the future.

Environmental Regulations
-------------------------

We must comply with laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international
requirements that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment.
Environmental protection and pollution control could, in the future, become so
restrictive as to make production unprofitable. Furthermore, we may be exposed
to claims and lawsuits involving such environmental matters as soil and water
contamination and air pollution. We are currently in compliance with all local
and international environmental requirements and are closely monitored by the
environmental authorities of the Republic of Kazakhstan. During 2004, KKM
completed the construction of a waste "polygon" as required by the State
Environmental Authorities. This is an area where KKM can safely dispose of waste
drilling fluids and cuttings and other harmful or toxic waste. During 2005 KKM
also completed the construction of a 28 km gas pipeline from the central
processing facility at the field to the oil pipeline booster pumping station.
This pipeline represents part of KKM's gas utilization project. The gas will be
used to fuel the oil heaters at the booster station, which presently use diesel.
Total expenditure on these projects during the year was approximately $1
million. In 2006 KKM is planning to complete construction and start-up
operations for gas utilization infrastructure including gas drying and
compression to fill in gas-main pipeline. In January 2004, KKM, as part of its
obligations under the Agreement, commenced payments into an escrow account
controlled by KKM and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The purpose
of the payments is to provide a cash fund to use for future site restoration
costs at the Field when operations cease. Monthly payments of $14,000 will be
made until the fund reaches $3 million. In January 2004, an extra amount of
$168,000 was paid for amounts due in 2003. As of December 31, 2005 overall
payments to the fund totaled $504,000.

Competition
-----------

We compete in all areas of the development and production segment of the oil and
gas industry with a number of other companies. These companies include large
multinational oil and gas companies and other independent operators, many of
which possess greater financial resources and more experience than Chaparral. We
do not hold a significant competitive position in the oil industry given that we
compete both with major oil and gas companies and with independent producers
for, among other things, rights to develop oil and gas properties, access to
limited pipeline capacity, procurement of available materials and resources, and
hiring qualified local and international personnel.

Employees
---------

As of March 1, 2006, Chaparral had no full-time employees and KKM had 248
employees. Both Chaparral and KKM retain independent consultants on an as needed
basis. We believe that our relationship with our employees and consultants is
good.

Sale by KMG of Minority Interest in KKM to Nelson
-------------------------------------------------

In November 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with its majority
stockholder, Nelson, which provided that in the event Chaparral, through CAP-G
and/or MTI, received notice from KMG that KMG desired to sell its 40% equity
interest in KKM, then the Company would, if requested by Nelson, exercise its
right of first refusal under the Agreement to purchase such interest at the
price and on the terms specified in such notice. In December 2004, pursuant to
this agreement, the Company, through CAP-G, exercised its right of first refusal
to purchase from KMG the remaining 40% equity interest in KKM. The Company
entered into definitive sale and purchase agreements with both KMG and Nelson,
which provided that upon completion of the acquisition by CAP-G, ownership of
the newly acquired 40% interest in KKM would be transferred to Nelson. The
transfer of the 40% interest from KMG to CAP-G occurred in December 2004, and
the transfer from CAP-G to Nelson was completed in January 2005. The purchase
price of $34.6 million paid by CAP-G to KMG was determined on an open tender,
and the funds for this were made available to CAP-G by Nelson. In addition,
Nelson paid the Company a fee of $1.0 million, recorded as part of Other Income
in 2004, as well as all documentation and transaction costs relating to the
acquisition.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Properties
----------

The Karakuduk Field is located in the Mangistau Region of the Republic of
Kazakhstan. The license to develop the Karakuduk Field covers an area of
approximately 16,900 acres and is effective for a 25-year period, which may be
extended upon mutual consent of KKM and the Government of the Republic of
Kazakhstan. In 1995, KKM entered into the Agreement with Kazakhstan's Ministry
of Energy and Natural Resources to develop the Karakuduk Field.

The Karakuduk Field is located approximately 227 miles northeast of the regional
capital city of Aktau, on the Ust-Yurt Plateau. The closest settlement is the
Say-Utes railway station approximately 51 miles southeast of the field. The
ground elevation varies between 590 and 656 feet above sea level. The region has
a dry, continental climate, with fewer than 10 inches of rainfall per year. Mean
temperatures range from minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit in July. The operating environment is similar to that found in
northern Arizona and New Mexico in the United States.

                                       5
<PAGE>

The Karakuduk Field structure is an asymmetrical anticline located on the
Aristan Uplift in the North Ust-Yurt Basin. Oil was discovered in the structure
in 1972, when Kazakhstan was a republic of the former Soviet Union, from
Jurassic age sediments between 8,500 and 10,000 feet. The former Soviet Union
drilled 22 exploratory and development wells to delineate the Karakuduk Field,
discovering the presence of recoverable oil reserves. The productive area of the
Karakuduk Field is estimated to contain a minimum of 8 separate productive
horizons present in the Jurassic formation. None of the original wells were ever
placed on commercial production prior to KKM obtaining the rights to the
Karakuduk Field.

The Karakuduk Field is approximately 18 miles north of the main utility
corridor, which includes the Makat-Mangishlak railroad, the Mangishlak-Astrakhan
water pipeline, the Beyneu-Uzen high voltage utility lines, and the
Uzen-Atrau-Samara oil and gas pipelines. KKM, according to its agreements with
the Republic of Kazakhstan, has a right to use the existing oil export pipeline
and related utilities. KKM also has a contract with CJSC Kaztransoil ("KTO"), a
100% subsidiary of KMG, granting KKM the right to use the export pipeline for
transportation of crude oil to local and export markets, subject to transit
quota restrictions, and as a temporary storage facility until the produced
hydrocarbons are sold by KKM.

As of December 31 2005, KKM had 61 active productive wells in the Karakuduk
Field out of a total well fund of 80 wells. Of these, 67 were drilled by KKM and
13 are re-completions of exploration and delineation wells drilled during the
Soviet period. Current production exceeds an average of 12,000 barrels of oil
per day (11,000 barrels per day net of royalties), compared to an average for
2005 of 10,565 barrels per day (9,682 barrels per day net of royalties). The
remaining wells include 9 that are temporarily shut in, one new drill requiring
completion and 9 water injection wells. KKM implemented an aggressive drilling
program during 2000, drilling a total of 12 development wells and re-completing
four delineation wells, using a combination of two drilling rigs and a workover
rig. KKM drilled an additional exploration well and performed two re-completions
prior to 2000. During 2003, KKM drilled and completed 13 wells, 12 producers and
one injector. Two water supply wells were also drilled and two redundant
producing wells were converted to injectors as part of KKM's reservoir pressure
maintenance program. The drilling program continued into 2004 during which a
total of 16 wells were drilled, 12 as producers, three awaiting completion at
year end and one water injector. In addition, a well being drilled over the end
of 2003 was completed in 2004 as a water injector. During 2005 an additional 14
wells were drilled and 6 kv power transmission lines were laid to wells
transferred from natural flow to mechanical extraction. We constructed access
lanes for drilling rigs and carried out certain landfill operations.

In the past, KKM's daily oil production has been limited due to various facility
constraints and lack of working capital to fund field operations. KKM remains
committed to improving efficiency of field facilities through continued
expansion of its oil storage capacity, installation of additional gathering and
processing facilities, and the full implementation of the central processing
facility.

In June 2002, KKM commissioned an 18-mile crude oil pipeline from the Karakuduk
Field currently capable of transporting up to 13,000 barrels of oil per day to
the transfer pumping station where KKM's crude oil is transferred to the State
owned Kaztransoil pipeline system. During 2004, KKM completed installation of
the booster pump station mid way along this pipeline which will allow throughput
of up to 18,000 barrels of oil per day. KKM still transports oil from some wells
by truck to the nearest field gathering station or to the central processing
facility at the field. These are either new wells which have yet to be tied in
to the field gathering system, or naturally flowing wells that do not have
sufficient wellhead pressure to overcome the back pressure in the field flow
line system. In 2005 we installed three new submersible pumps to enhance the
wells production performance.

As part of a program to maximize sales revenue, a decision has been taken to
construct a railroad rack to transport Karakuduk crude oil to the port of Aktau
to discharge at oil terminals in the Caspian Sea. This will ensure that the
quality crude oil from Karakuduk is not mixed with lower quality, high sulfur
oil in the current pipeline systems. This project will involve construction of a
two-way rack with simultaneous filling of up to 30 tank wagons and reservoir
facilities of two 5,000 cubic meter and two 2,000 cubic meter tanks. The total
capital cost of the project will amount to over $13 million. This project is due
for completion in the fourth quarter of 2006.

In 2003, KKM further expanded the central processing unit in order to improve
its produced water processing capability in the field, to enable reservoir
pressure maintenance through water injection. KKM continued to expand and

                                       6
<PAGE>

upgrade all field production facilities in 2004 and 2005. Additions to the field
processing facilities, gathering stations and export infrastructure were made to
enable increased production and higher fluid throughput anticipated from the
ongoing drilling, well artificial lift plans and hydraulic fracturing.

During 2005 KKM used one drilling rig provided by the Oil and Gas Exploration
Krakow company. As of January 16, 2006 this drilling contract expired. Currently
KKM is not undertaking any drilling activity. KKM plan to operate two drilling
rigs from July 1, 2006 and plan to drill 12 more wells by the end of 2006.
Tendering procedures for drilling rigs have commenced. Two workover rigs will be
operating at the field to complete new drills, transfer wells and the set-up of
pumping units. During 2005 21 wells were converted to artificial lift.

During 2004, the reserves of the Karakuduk Field were re-estimated as required
by the State Reserves Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Development of
the field has shown that the original State reserves were underestimated by more
than 20% and therefore KKM commissioned NIPINeftegas, a local research
institute, to prepare a reserves estimate in accordance with Kazakh reporting
standards. As a result of this, it is now estimated that more wells will be
required to develop the field than previously expected, an increase from 110 to
between 140 and 150 wells. Drilling is therefore likely to continue at Karakuduk
for several more years.

Full-scale water injection commenced at Karakuduk in April 2004. KKM is
injecting into nine wells at the field. Daily injection volume at the field is
approximately 15,000 barrels of water per day.

Reserves
--------

As of December 31, 2005, the Karakuduk Field has total estimated proved reserves
of approximately 45.33 million barrels (compared with 40.59 million barrels for
prior year), net of government royalty, of which our proportional interest is
approximately 27.20 million barrels, based upon our 60% interest in KKM. The
reserve disclosure is based on a reserve study of the Karakuduk Field conducted
by McDaniel and Associates Consultants Limited ("McDaniel"), including data
available subsequent to December 31, 2005, in which total estimated proved
reserves were calculated in accordance with SEC Regulation SX Rule 4-10.

Net Quantities of Oil and Gas Produced

The average sales revenue, net of transportation costs, was approximately $40.53
and $23.35 per barrel sold for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. For the same periods, the average transportation costs per barrel
sold were approximately $5.14 and $5.09, respectively.

Under the Agreement with the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan we are
entitled to receive 65% of KKM's cash flow from oil sales, net of royalty, on a
quarterly basis until our loan to KKM has been fully repaid. The remaining 35%

                                       7
<PAGE>

of net cash flows is used by KKM to meet capital and operating expenditures. We
may waive temporarily receipt of quarterly loan repayments, in whole or in part,
to provide KKM with additional working capital. A further restriction in the BNP
/ KBC credit facility limits the annual cash flow received by Chaparral from KKM
to a maximum of $4 million.

Productive Wells and Acreage
----------------------------

As of December 31, 2005, we had an interest in 70 gross producing oil wells and
no gas wells. KKM produces oil from the J1, J2, J4, J6, J7 and J8 reservoirs. In
some wells, production is commingled from the J1 and J2 reservoirs (13 wells)
and the J8 and J9 reservoirs (five wells). Production is from 13,800 gross acres
with the developed acreage being 5,700 acres.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

1. Liquidity and Capital Resources
----------------------------------

General Liquidity Considerations
--------------------------------

Going Concern
-------------

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. Chaparral has experienced
limitations in obtaining 100% export quota for the sale of our hydrocarbons and
has had a working capital deficit in four of the last five years. Previously
these conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. Due to the refinancing of the Company's debt during 2005 (see
below) we now expect to be able to meet all expenditure and cash flow
requirements through the next twelve months.

Chaparral has continued to manage the ratio of export sales to local market
deliveries during 2005 with approximately 3,108,000 barrels, or 94% of current
year sales of 3,297,000 barrels sold at world market prices and 189,000 at
domestic prices. This compares with total sales of approximately 2,758,000
barrels in 2004, of which approximately 2,544,000 barrels, or 92% (2003:
2,591,000 barrels, 96%), was sold at world market prices and 214,000 barrels, or
8% (2003: 103,000 barrels, 4%), at domestic market prices.

On March 24, 2005, KKM signed a $40 million Structured Crude Oil Pre-export
Credit Facility Agreement with BNP Paribas (Suisse) SA and others (the "BNP /
KBC Credit Facility"). The funds from this facility are available for use to
cover any short-term working capital deficiencies and were used to pay down the
previous loan with Kazkommertsbank. Amounts borrowed under the BNP / KBC Credit
Facility are repayable in 36 equal monthly installments commencing December 31,
2005. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 3.25% for the first 12 months and LIBOR
plus 4.00% thereafter. The lenders also require that KKM implement a crude oil
price hedging program, in a form satisfactory to the lenders. In addition, on
March 22, 2005, Chaparral and CAP-G signed a Promissory Note Amendment Agreement
with Nelson (the "Amended Note"). This provided for a prepayment of $1million of
the $4 million due to be repaid to Nelson on May 10, 2005 under the previous $4
million loan note and the replacement of that loan note with a new loan note for
$3 million on substantially similar terms, but with an increase in the interest
rate from 12% to 14% from May 10, 2005 and an extension of the maturity date of
one year to May 10, 2006. The debt refinancing, coupled with current production
and price levels, will enable the Company to meet all current financial
obligations and continue with field development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

We are presently engaged in the development of the Karakuduk Field, which
requires substantial cash expenditures for drilling, well completions,
workovers, oil storage and processing facilities, pipelines, gathering systems,
water injection facilities, plant and equipment (pumps, transformer sub-stations
etc.) and gas utilization. We have invested approximately $207 million in the
development of the Karakuduk Field and have drilled or re-completed 70
productive wells by the end of 2005. Total capital expenditures for 2005 were
approximately $31 million compared to $30 million incurred in 2004. Capital
expenditures are estimated to be at least $100 million from 2006 through 2010,
including the drilling of approximately 60 more wells over this period. We
anticipate 2006 capital expenditures of approximately $46 million.

We expect to finance the continued development of the Karakuduk Field primarily
through cash flows from the sale of crude oil. During 2005, KKM sold
approximately 3.3 million barrels of crude oil for $151 million. As of January
24, 2006, daily oil production was in excess of 12,000 barrels per day (11,000
barrels per day net of royalties) from 59 of the 71 productive wells in the
field. The ability of KKM to pay dividends in the immediate future is restricted
by the needs of its capital investment program.

In 2006, KKM expects to increase production by drilling new wells, converting at
least 16 more wells to artificial lift, converting four more wells to water
injection wells, adding four new water injection wells to the injection fund and

                                       11
<PAGE>

by continuing with hydraulic fracturing work in selected wells. Management
expects production from the Karakuduk Field to increase to over 16,000 barrels
of oil per day (14,650 barrels per day net of royalties) by year-end 2006.

In addition, our short and long-term liquidity is impacted by local oil sales
obligations imposed on oil and gas producers within Kazakhstan to supply local
energy needs, and our ability to obtain export quota necessary to sell our crude
oil production on the international market. Under the terms of the Agreement, we
have a right to export, and receive export quota for, 100% of the production
from the Karakuduk Field. The domestic market does not permit world market
prices to be obtained, resulting in, on average, approximately $28 to $29 lower
cash flow per barrel in 2005. Furthermore, the Government has not allocated
sufficient export quota to allow us to sell all of our available crude oil
production on the world market. We are taking steps to reduce our local market
obligations and to obtain an export quota that will enable us to sell all of our
crude oil production on the export market. The Company has determined that it is
no longer in the best interests of the Company to pursue arbitration proceedings
in Switzerland for the breach of the Agreement by the Government of Kazakhstan,
instead we intend to seek an amicable resolution of this matter. If the matter
cannot be resolved in a satisfactory manner, we have, however, reserved our
right to commence formal arbitration proceedings pursuant to our contractual
arrangements with the Government.

No assurances can be provided, however, that an amicable resolution will be
reached, or that if arbitration is instituted, it will be successful or that if
successful, Chaparral will be able to enforce the award in Kazakhstan, or that
we will be able to export 100% or a significant portion of production or that we
will be able to obtain additional cash flow from operations to meet working
capital requirements in the future.

Obligations and Commitments
---------------------------

The following table is a summary of Chaparral's future payments on obligations
as of December 31, 2005:

                                       Obligations by Period
                                               $000
                      ---------------------------------------------------------
                      1 Year   2 - 3 Years   4 - 5 Years   Later Years   Total

Debt                  24,667      7,333          --            --        32,000
Interest on debt       1,033        188          --            --         1,221
Contracts with
  suppliers            3,666       --            --            --         3,666


In May 2002, Chaparral received a total equity and debt capital infusion of $45
million. Chaparral received a total investment of $12 million from Central Asian
Industrial Holdings, N.V. ("CAIH"), including $8 million in exchange for
22,925,701 shares, or 60%, of Chaparral's outstanding common stock, and $4
million in exchange for a three year note (the "Note") bearing interest at 12%
per annum (of which $2 million was repaid during 2002 but re-borrowed in 2004).
These shares and the Note were sold to Nelson in May 2004. Additionally,
Kazkommertsbank provided KKM with a credit facility totaling $33 million bearing
interest at 14% per annum. On March 24, 2005 a further credit facility for $40
million was agreed with BNP Paribas (Suisse) SA ("BNP") and KBC Bank N.V.
("KBC"), the BNP / KBC facility. On June 30, 2005 $32 million was drawn down
from this facility and utilized to repay the Kazkommertsbank loan in full. As of
December 31, 2005 the outstanding principal balance on the BNP / KBC Credit
Facility was $29 million. A repayment of $12 million was made in January 2006
from current cash resources. The terms and conditions of the Note and the BNP /
KBC Credit Facility are more fully described in Note 12 of our consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The financing costs of the BNP / KBC Credit Facility and the Note represent
significant future cash flow requirements. A substantial portion of our future
cash flow from operations will be required for debt service and may not be
available for other purposes. We expect up to $33.3 million of our future
available net cash flows from the Karakuduk Field will be utilized to service
these loans, depending upon excess cash flows available from operations, if any,
to repay the loan prior to its stated maturity date. The availability of future
cash flows is contingent upon many factors beyond our control, including
successful development of the underlying oil reserves from the Karakuduk Field,

                                       12
<PAGE>

production rates, production and development costs, oil prices, access to oil
transportation routes, and political stability in the region. In addition under
the BNP / KBC Credit Facility, our ability to obtain additional debt or equity
financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, or
acquisitions is also restricted, as well as our ability to acquire or dispose of
significant assets or investments. These restrictions may make us more
vulnerable and less able to react to adverse economic conditions.

The failure of Chaparral to meet the terms of the BNP / KBC Credit Facility
could result in an event of default. If such a default is not waived by the
lenders, they can require KKM to immediately repay the full amount outstanding
under the facility and may enforce the Nelson guarantee and their step-in rights
under the Offtake agreement. We are currently in compliance with all the terms
of the BNP / KBC Credit Facility. We had made all principal and interest
payments due under the BNP / KBC Credit Facility and the Note as of December 31,
2005.

Related Party Transactions
--------------------------

KKM has a contract to transport 100% of its oil sales through the pipeline owned
and operated by KTO, a wholly owned subsidiary of KMG, which was, until December
2004, the 40% minority shareholder in KKM. The rates for transportation are in
accordance with those approved by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Currently, the use of the KTO pipeline system is the only viable method of
exporting KKM's production. As KTO notifies KKM of the export sales allocated to
KKM on a monthly basis, KTO controls both the volume and transportation cost of
export sales. As described above, KKM are constructing a railroad rack to allow
alternate routes for shipping of the crude oil from the Karakuduk field.

KKM makes a prepayment for crude transportation based upon the allocation of
export sales received from KTO. This prepayment includes pipeline costs charged
by the operators of the Russian and Ukrainian pipeline systems which are
dependent upon the point of sale of KKM's exports. The following table
summarizes KKM's payments to, and balances with, KTO:

                                                                     $000
                                                                 2005     2004

 KKM's payments to KTO during the year                          16,494   13,348
     of which transportation costs for the year                 16,252   13,144

 Prepayment balance with KTO at December 31                      1,787    1,162

     of which outstanding at December 31                            14        8


KKM had a drilling contract with KMGD, an affiliate of KMG, for one development
drilling rig operating in the Karakuduk Field. The contract expired on December
31, 2004.

As previously mentioned, on March 24, 2005, Chaparral and CAP-G signed a
Promissory Note Amendment Agreement with Nelson (the "Amended Note"). This
provided for a prepayment of $1 million of the $4 million due to be repaid to
Nelson on May 10, 2005 under the existing $4 million loan note and the
replacement of the existing loan note with a new loan note for $3 million on
substantially similar terms, but with an increase in the interest rate from 12%
to 14% from May 10, 2005 and an extension of the maturity date of one year to
May 10, 2006.

All other related party transactions are disclosed in the notes to our
consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2005. The loans with
Kazkommertsbank and Nelson are disclosed in Note 12 and the drilling contract
with KMGD is described in Notes 18 and 19, prepaid transportation to KTO in Note
3 and an insurance policy with Kazkommerts Policy in Note 19.

Legal Proceedings
-----------------

In December 2002, KKM received a claim from the Ministry of State Revenues of
the Republic of Kazakhstan for $9.1 million (the "Tax Claim") relating to taxes
and penalties covering the three years from 1999 to 2001. KKM appealed the claim

                                       13
<PAGE>

through the courts in Kazakhstan, which eventually ruled in favor of KKM with
the exception of $255,000 which was upheld. As a result, during 2003 KKM
reversed $899,000 for income taxes accrued during 2002 for the Tax Claim net of
the $255,000 which was settled January 2004.

The Ministry of State Revenues of the Republic of Kazakhstan had been
considering penalties with respect to the Tax Claim in the amount of $970,000.
In March 2004, a court hearing was conducted which resulted in a reduction of
these penalties to $53,000. This amount was paid in full during 2004.

Capital Commitments and Other Contingencies
-------------------------------------------

Our operations may be subject to other regulations by the Government of the
Republic of Kazakhstan or other regulatory bodies responsible for the area in
which the Karakuduk Field is located. In addition to taxation, customs
declarations and environmental controls, regulations may govern such things as
drilling permits and production rates. Drilling permits could become difficult
to obtain or prohibitively expensive. Production rates could be set so low that
they would make production unprofitable. These regulations may substantially
increase the costs of doing business and may prevent or delay the starting or
continuation of any given development project.

All regulations are subject to future changes by legislative and administrative
action and by judicial decisions. Such changes could adversely affect the
petroleum industry in general, and us in particular. It is impossible to predict
the effect that any current or future proposals or changes in existing laws or
regulations may have on our operations.

Commodity Prices for Oil
------------------------

Our revenues, profitability, growth and value are highly dependent upon the
price of oil. Market conditions make it difficult to estimate prices of oil or
the impact of inflation on such prices. Oil prices have been volatile, and it is
likely they will continue to fluctuate in the future. Various factors beyond our
control affect prices for oil, including supplies of oil available worldwide and
in Kazakhstan, the ability of OPEC to agree to maintain oil prices and
production controls, political instability or armed conflict in Kazakhstan or
other oil producing regions, the price of foreign imports, the level of consumer
demand, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the availability of
transportation routes and pipeline capacity, and changes in applicable laws and
regulations.

Exchange Rates and Inflation
----------------------------

We cannot control prices received from our oil sales and to the extent we are
unable to pass on increases in operating costs, we may be affected by inflation.
A devaluation of the Tenge, the currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan, can
significantly decrease the value of the monetary assets that we hold in
Kazakhstan as well as our assets in that country that are based on the Tenge.
KKM retains the majority of cash and cash equivalents in U.S. Dollars, but KKM's
statutory tax basis for its assets, tax loss carryforwards, and VAT receivables
are all denominated in Tenge and subject to the effects of devaluation. Local
tax laws allow basis adjustments to offset the impact of inflation on statutory
tax basis assets, but there is no assurance that any adjustments will be
sufficient to offset the effects of inflation in whole or in part. If not, KKM
may be subject to much higher income tax liabilities within Kazakhstan due to
inflation and or devaluation of the local currency. Additionally, devaluation
may create uncertainty with respect to the future business climate in Kazakhstan
and to our investment in that country. During 2004 and 2005, however, the Tenge
has remained relatively stable against the U.S. Dollar. There remains no
guarantee that this stability is sustainable for the foreseeable future. As of
December 31, 2005, the exchange rate was 133.77 Tenge per U.S. Dollar compared
to 130.00 as of December 31, 2004. It should be noted that 94% of our crude oil
sales by volume in 2005 were denominated in U.S. Dollars, while the majority of
our capital expenditures, operating costs and general and administrative
expenses are denominated in Tenge.

Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------

Application of generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. In addition, alternative methods can exist
to meet various accounting principles. In such cases, the choice of accounting
method can also have a significant impact on reported amounts.

                                       14
<PAGE>

Our determination of proved oil and gas reserve quantities, the application of
the full cost method of accounting for KKM's development and production
activities, and the application of standards of accounting for derivative
instruments and hedging activities require management to make numerous estimates
and judgments.

Oil and Gas Properties (Full Cost Method). Chaparral follows the full cost
method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs
associated with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas
reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized. Effective
with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
143 in 2003, the carrying amount of oil and gas properties also includes
estimated asset retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset
retirement obligation when incurred. The application of the full cost method of
accounting for oil and gas properties generally results in higher capitalized
costs and higher DD&A rates compared to the successful efforts method of
accounting for oil and gas properties.

All capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties, including the estimated
future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized using the
unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Investments in
unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until
proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until
impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties
are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized cost to
be amortized.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of
capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would
significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved
reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income.
Abandonment of properties is accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs
with no loss recognized.

Cost Excluded. Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from
capitalized costs being amortized. These amounts represent costs of investments
in unproved properties and major development projects. Chaparral excludes these
costs on a country-by-country basis until proved reserves are found or until it
is determined that the costs are impaired. All costs excluded are reviewed
quarterly to determine if impairment has occurred. Any impairment is transferred
to the costs to be amortized or a charge is made against earnings for those
international operations where a reserve base has not yet been established. For
operations where a reserve base has not yet been established, an impairment
requiring a charge to earnings may be indicated through evaluation of drilling
results or relinquishment of drilling rights.

Capitalized Interest. SFAS 34, Capitalization of Interest Costs, provides
standards for the capitalization of interest costs as part of the historical
cost of acquiring assets. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Interpretation No. 33 ("FIN 33") provides guidance for the application of SFAS
34 to the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under FIN
33, costs of investments in unproved properties and major development projects,
on which depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense is not
currently taken and on which exploration or development activities are in
progress, qualify for capitalization of interest. Capitalized interest is
calculated by multiplying the weighted-average interest rate on debt by the
amount of costs excluded. Capitalized interest cannot exceed gross interest
expense.

Ceiling Test. Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and
gas exploration and development activities are required to perform a ceiling
test each quarter. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed
by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test is performed on a
country-by-country basis. The test determines a limit, or ceiling, on the book
value of oil and gas properties. That limit is basically the after tax present
value of the future net cash flows from proved crude oil and natural gas
reserves. This ceiling is compared to the net book value of the oil and gas
properties reduced by any related deferred income tax liability. If the net book
value reduced by the related deferred income taxes exceeds the ceiling, an
impairment or non-cash write down is required. A ceiling test impairment can
give Chaparral a significant loss for a particular period; however, future DD&A
expense would be reduced.

Reserves. Estimates of our proved oil and gas reserves are prepared by McDaniel
in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC. Those guidelines require
that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating
conditions with no provisions for increases in commodity prices, except by
contractual arrangement. Estimation of oil and gas reserve quantities is

                                       15
<PAGE>

inherently difficult and is subject to numerous uncertainties. Such
uncertainties include the projection of future rates of production, export
allocation, and the timing of development expenditures. The accuracy of the
estimates depends on the quality of available geological and geophysical data
and requires interpretation and judgment. Estimates may be revised either upward
or downward by results of future drilling, testing or production. In addition,
estimates of volumes considered to be commercially recoverable fluctuate with
changes in commodity prices and operating costs. Our estimates of reserves are
expected to change as additional information becomes available. A material
change in the estimated volumes of reserves could have an impact on the DD&A
rate calculation and the financial statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. We account for our
investment in derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS 133,
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, as
amended. As a result, we recognize all derivative financial instruments in our
financial statements at fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent for
holding the instrument. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial
instruments are recognized periodically in income or in shareholders' equity as
a component of comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative
financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it
qualifies as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. Generally, changes in fair
values of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in income
along with the portions of the changes in the fair values of the related hedged
items. Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges,
to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive
income net of deferred taxes. Changes in fair values of derivatives not
qualifying as hedges are reported in income.

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations, requires entities to record the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is
incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related
long-lived asset. Subsequently, the asset retirement cost should be allocated to
expense using a systematic and rational method. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 143,
Chaparral has increased its assets and liabilities by $516,000 as of January 1,
2003 to reflect the net present value of its retirement obligations. See Note 11
to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004
for results of the adoption of SFAS 143.

Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies. A provision for legal,
environmental and other contingencies is charged to expense when the loss is
probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Determining when expenses
should be recorded for these contingencies and the appropriate amounts for
accrual is a complex estimation process that includes the subjective judgment of
management. In many cases, management's judgment is based on interpretation of
laws and regulations, which can be interpreted differently by regulators and/or
courts of law. Chaparral's management closely monitors known and potential
legal, environmental and other contingencies and periodically determines when
Chaparral should record losses for these items based on information available to
us.

Income Taxes. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial
statements, we are required to estimate our taxes in each of the jurisdictions
of operation. This process involves management estimating the actual current tax
expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing
treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. These differences
result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the
consolidated balance sheets. We then must assess the likelihood that the
deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the
extent recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Future
taxable income depends on the ability to generate income in excess of allowable
deductions. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this
allowance in a period, an expense is recorded within the tax provision in the
consolidated statement of operations. Significant management judgment is
required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and
liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax
assets. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we
adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish a valuation
allowance that could materially impact our financial condition and results of
operations.

Change in Estimates. Chaparral has not materially changed the use of its
methodology for the estimates described above for the years presented and actual
results compared to estimates made have not had a material effect on Chaparral's
financial condition and results of operations. There are currently no known
trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely
to occur that could materially affect the methodology or assumptions described
above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies
accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The
amendments set forth in SFAS No. 149 require that contracts with comparable
characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective
for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with a few
exceptions) and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The
guidance is to be applied prospectively only. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 as of
July 1, 2003 has had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures on its balance
sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is
within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that
financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS No. 150 was
effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003,
and was otherwise effective for us as of July 1, 2003. The adoption of the
applicable provisions of this statement as of the indicated dates has had no
effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51. The primary
objectives of this interpretation are to provide guidance on the identification
of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through
voting rights ("variable interest entities") and how to determine which business
enterprise (the "primary beneficiary") should consolidate the variable interest
entity and when. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which
either (i) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial
interest; or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that
entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. In addition, FIN 46 requires that the primary beneficiary,
as well as all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a
variable interest entity, make additional disclosures. Certain disclosure
requirements of FIN 46 were effective for financial statements issued after
January 31, 2003.

In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46 (revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46-R") to address certain FIN
46 implementation issues. The effective dates and impact of FIN 46 and FIN 46-R
are as follows:

     (i) Special purpose entities ("SPEs") created prior to February 1, 2003.
     Chaparral must apply either the provisions of FIN 46 or early adopt the
     provisions of FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting
     period ending after December 15, 2003.

     (ii) Non-SPEs created prior to February 1, 2003. Chaparral is required to
     adopt FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period
     ending after March 15, 2004.

     (iii) All entities, regardless of whether a SPE, that were created
     subsequent to January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46 were applicable
     for variable interests in entities obtained after January 31, 2003.
     Chaparral is required to adopt FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or
     annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.

The adoption of the provisions applicable to SPEs and all other variable
interests obtained after January 31, 2003 did not have a material impact on
Chaparral's financial statements. FIN 46-R applicable to Non-SPEs created prior
to February 1, 2003 does not impact on Chaparral's results of operations,
financial position and cash flows.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations. SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability
for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a
corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.
Subsequently, the asset retirement cost should be allocated to expense using a
systematic and rational method. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. Chaparral adopted SFAS 143 on January 1, 2003. See Note 11
to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004
for results of the adoption of SFAS 143.

                                       17

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs, an Amendment of APB
Opinion No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting treatment for
various inventory costs and overhead allocations and is effective for inventory
costs incurred after July 1, 2005. It has not had a material impact on the
Company's financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an
Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS 153 specifies the criteria required to
record a non-monetary asset exchange using carryover basis and is effective for
non-monetary asset exchanges occurring after July 1, 2005. It has not had a
material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004) ("SFAS 123R"), Share
Based Payments. SFAS 123R requires that the cost from all share-based payment
transactions, including stock options, be recognized in the financial statements
at fair value and is effective for public companies in the first interim period
after June 15, 2005. It has not had a material impact on the Company's financial
statements upon adoption.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
SFAS 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a change of accounting
principle. It requires retrospective application of a change of accounting
principal unless impracticable. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005 and is not expected to have a material impact on the
company's financial statements when adopted.

2. Results of Operations
------------------------

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to the Year
Ended December 31, 2004
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $30.82 million
compared to $8.52 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase of
$22.30 million is principally due to higher oil prices and increased sales
partially offset by excess profit taxes payable in Kazakhstan and higher
minority interest and taxes as a result of the higher profits.

Revenue. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $150.58
million compared to $78.45 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. The
increase of $72.13 million is the result of higher oil prices and increased
sales volumes. In 2005 we sold 3,297,000 barrels compared to 2,758,000 barrels
in 2004, an increase of 19.5%. The average price per barrel of crude oil
recognized in 2005 was $45.67 compared to $28.44 per barrel in 2004. This
increase of $17.23 per barrel is reflective of the increase in the average spot
price of Brent crude over the same period.

Transportation and Operating Expenses. Transportation costs for the year ended
December 31, 2005 were $16.95 million or $5.14 per barrel sold, and operating
expenses were $15.83 million or $4.48 per net barrel of crude oil produced. In
comparison transportation costs for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $14.05
million, or $5.09 per barrel sold, and operating costs associated with sales
were $8.32 million, or $2.93 per barrel produced. The increase in operating
costs is due to higher production volumes in the year ended December 31, 2005
and higher labor costs, higher equipment, materials and supplies expenses and
increased rental costs.

Excess Profits Tax. Under KKM's Agreement with the Ministry of Energy and
Natural Resources for the Exploration, Development and Production of Oil in the
Karakuduk Field a charge for Excess Profits Tax becomes payable when the total
cumulative return on cash flows at the field exceeds certain levels. This charge
is levied at various rates. During 2005 the cumulative rate of return at the
Karakuduk field reached a level where this charge has become payable. A charge
of $3.22 million has been estimated for the year ended December 31, 2005. There
was no corresponding charge for Excess Profits Tax in the year ended December
31, 2004.

Depreciation and Depletion. Depreciation and depletion expense was $25.38
million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $18.18 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004. The increase of $7.20 million is principally due
to higher sales volumes. The depletion expense for 2005 amounted to $24.54
million or $6.94 per barrel produced compared with $17.55 million or $6.19 per
barrel in 2004.

<PAGE>

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005
decreased to $4.68 million from $5.55 million in 2004. This decrease of $0.87
million is mainly due to reductions in the net loan balances outstanding of an
average of approximately $10 million. This has been partially offset as the
company did not capitalize any interest during the year ended December 31, 2005.
The corresponding amount capitalized in 2004 amounted to $0.45 million.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses in the
year ended December 31, 2005 decreased by $1.30 million to $7.09 million
compared to $8.39 million in 2004. The main reason for the higher expenditure in
2004 was severance payments to former executives of the Company of $0.78
million. In addition to this, further economies were made due to the relocation
of the offices of the Company to accommodation shared with Nelson Resources
Limited.

Management fee. The management fee increased by $0.23 million to $0.68 million
in the year ended December 31, 2005 from $0.45 million in the prior year. This
increase is due to the inclusion of twelve months management fees in 2005
compared to seven months fees in 2004.

Marketing fee. The increase of the marketing fee from $0.27 million in the year
ended December 31, 2004 to $0.55 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 is
due to the inclusion of a full year of the contract in 2005 compared to seven
months in 2004 and also an increase in production levels.

Hedge losses. The hedge losses in 2005 relate to certain contracts for oil sales
taken out as part of the hedging strategy connected with the BNP / KBC loan
facility. Under these agreements, KKM had the option each month, from April 2005
to December 2005, to require BNP to pay it an amount per barrel of specified
monthly amounts of crude oil equivalent to the excess of $33.00 per barrel over
the monthly average for that month of dated Brent. The crude oil amounts
specified are 75,000 barrels per calendar month during the second quarter of
2005, 160,000 barrels per calendar month during the third quarter of 2005 and
170,000 barrels per calendar month during the last quarter of 2005. The Company
paid $267,300 as consideration for these contracts, equivalent to $0.22 per
barrel. There are no open hedge arrangements at December 31, 2005.

Other Income / (Expense). Other income for the year ended December 31, 2004
includes $1 million received from Nelson as a fee for the Company exercising its
pre-emption rights regarding the sale in December 2004 by KMG of its 40% share
of KKM, which was then transferred to Nelson, who funded the purchase price.
There was no similar transaction in 2005.

Income Taxes. The income tax expense increased by $15.78 million to $22.90
million in the year ended December 31, 2005 from $7.12 million in the year ended
December 31, 2004. This increase is due to higher taxable revenues at the KKM
level in respect of the year ended December 31, 2005. In 2005 the pre-tax profit
at the KKM level was $78.06 million compared to $25.80 million in 2004. All
income taxes provided for relate to our operations in Kazakhstan. Chaparral
currently has no U.S. income tax liability due to Chaparral's estimated USA
domestic tax loss carryforwards of $25.7 million as of December 31, 2005. These
carryforwards will expire at various times between 2006 and 2022. See Note 14 to
our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.


Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to the Year
Ended December 31, 2003
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 resulted in a net income of
$8.52 million compared to a net income of $2.06 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The $6.46 million increase in our net income is primarily due
to (i) higher oil prices, (ii) increased sales and (iii) the receipt of
pre-emption fee income, partially offset by (i) higher minority interest and
taxes as a result of higher profits at KKM, (ii) higher transportation tariffs,
(iii) higher workover costs, (iv) increased interest charges and (v) the
beneficial effect in 2003 of a change in accounting principle.

Revenue. Revenues were $78.45 million for the year ended December 31, 2004
compared with $57.61 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The $20.84
million increase is the result of higher volumes sold and higher oil prices
received during the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in volumes sold

                                       19
<PAGE>

during 2004 was the result of increased production and sales quotas obtained for
the year. During 2004 we sold approximately 2,758,000 barrels of crude oil,
recognizing $78.45 million, or $28.44 per barrel, in revenue. In comparison, we
sold approximately 2,694,000 barrels of crude oil, recognizing $57.61 million in
revenue, or $21.39 per barrel, for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Transportation and Operating Expenses. Transportation costs for the year ended
December 31, 2004 were $14.05 million, or $4.96 per barrel produced, and
operating costs associated with sales were $8.32 million, or $2.93 per barrel.
In comparison, transportation costs for the year ended December 31, 2003 were
$11.47 million, or $4.26 per barrel, and operating costs associated with sales
were $5.92 million, or $2.20 per barrel. The increase in transportation costs
per barrel is mainly due to higher tariffs imposed on the Company and a 160,000
barrel sale to the local market in 2003 that carried no transportation cost. The
increase in operating cost per barrel is mainly due to higher work-over costs.

Depreciation and Depletion. Depreciation and depletion expense was $18.18
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $18.04 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003. The $0.14 million increase is the result of higher
sales volumes, offset by a slightly lower effective depletion rate. During the
year 2004, Chaparral recognized a total depletion expense of $17.55 million or
$6.19 per barrel, compared with $17.30 million or $6.42 per barrel in depletion
expense for the year 2003. The decrease in the effective depletion rate of $0.23
per barrel is due to additions to the Company's estimated proved reserves,
partially offset by increased estimated capital expenditures for the development
of the field for future years.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004,
increased by $1.02 million from $4.53 million in 2003 to $5.55 million in 2004.
This increase is mainly due to $0.46 million of interest payable in 2004 by KKM
on advanced sales receipts, $0.21 million increase in discount on the Note,
higher interest on the Note of $0.18 million due to the re-borrowing of $2
million in March 2004, and a lower amount of capitalized interest of $0.45
million, offset by lower interest payable of $0.39 million on the KKM Credit
Facility.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative costs for the
year ended December 31, 2004, increased by $0.63 million from $7.76 million for
the year 2003 to $8.39 million for the year 2004. The increase is largely due to
$0.78 million of severance payments to former executives of the Company,
partially offset by reduced costs as a result of economies in consultancy
services and salaries and wages.

Other Income. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2004 includes $1
million received from Nelson as a fee for the Company exercising its pre-emption
rights regarding the sale in December 2004 by KMG of its 40% share of KKM, which
was then transferred to Nelson, who funded the purchase price. See Item 1 for a
fuller description of the transaction.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2004, increased
by $3.00 million from $4.12 million for the year 2003 to $7.12 million for the
year 2004. The $3.00 million increase is due to KKM generating higher taxable
income in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Net income at the KKM level for the year
ended December 31, 2004 was $18.66 million compared with $10.76 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003. All income taxes provided for relate to our
operations in Kazakhstan. Chaparral had no U.S. income tax liability due to
Chaparral's estimated USA domestic tax loss carryforwards of $24.8 million as of
December 31, 2004. These carryforwards expire at various times between 2005 and
2022. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle. As a result of the adoption
of SFAS 143, Chaparral recognized a gain of $1.02 million as a cumulative effect
of change in accounting principle for the year ended December 31, 2003. In
addition, Chaparral recognized $73,000 in accretion expense to account for
changes in the ARO liability. There were no such items recorded in 2004. See
Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2004.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency
----------------

Chaparral's functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. All transactions arising in
currencies other than U.S. Dollars, including assets, liabilities, revenue,
expenses, gains or losses are measured and recorded in U.S. Dollars using the
exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

Cash and other monetary assets held and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than U.S. Dollars are translated at exchange rates prevailing as of the
balance sheet date (133.77 and 130.00 Kazakh Tenge per U.S. Dollar as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively). Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars have been translated at the
estimated historical exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Exchange gains and losses arising from translation of non-U.S. Dollar amounts at
the balance sheet date are recognized as an increase or decrease in income for
the period.

A devaluation of the Tenge, the currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan, can
significantly decrease the value of the monetary assets that we hold in
Kazakhstan as well as our assets in that country that are based on the Tenge.
During 2005, the Tenge has depreciated against the U.S. Dollar by approximately
3%. Since December 31, 2003, however, the Tenge has appreciated against the U.S.
Dollar by approximately 7%. There remains no guarantee that this appreciation is
either sustainable or permanent in the foreseeable future. KKM retains the
majority of cash and cash equivalents in U.S. Dollars in bank accounts within
Kazakhstan, but KKM's statutory tax basis for its assets, tax loss
carryforwards, and VAT receivables are all denominated in Tenge and subject to
the effects of devaluation. Local tax laws allow basis adjustments to offset the
impact of inflation on statutory tax basis assets, but there is no assurance
that any adjustments will be sufficient to offset the effects of inflation in
whole or in part. If not, KKM may be subject to much higher income tax
liabilities within Kazakhstan due to inflation and/or devaluation of the local
currency. Additionally, devaluation may create uncertainty with respect to the
future business climate in Kazakhstan and to our investment in that country. It
should be noted that 94% of our crude oil sales in 2005 were denominated in U.S.
Dollars, while the majority of our capital expenditures, operating costs and
general and administrative expenses are denominated in Tenge.

The Tenge is not a convertible currency outside of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The translation of Tenge denominated assets and liabilities in these financial
statements does not indicate that Chaparral could realize or settle these assets
and liabilities in U.S. Dollars.

We had $1.79 million of net monetary liabilities denominated in Tenge as of
December 31, 2005 compared to $8.25 million at December 31, 2004.

Commodity Prices for Oil
------------------------

During 2005 we sold approximately 3,297,000 barrels of crude oil, recognizing
$150.58 million, or $45.67 per barrel, in revenue. In comparison, we sold
approximately 2,758,000 barrels of crude oil, recognizing $78.45 million in
revenue, or $28.44 per barrel, for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Under the terms of the Agreement, we have a right to export, and receive export
quota for, 100% of the production from the Karakuduk Field. The domestic market
does not permit world market prices to be obtained, resulting in, on average,
approximately $28 to $29 lower cash flow per barrel in 2005. Furthermore, the
Government has not allocated sufficient export quota to allow us to sell all of
our available crude oil production on the world market. We are taking steps to
reduce our local market obligations and to obtain an export quota that will
enable us to sell all of our crude oil production on the export market. The
Company has determined that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company
to pursue arbitration proceedings in Switzerland for the breach of the Agreement
by the Government of Kazakhstan, instead we intend to seek an amicable
resolution of this matter.

During 2004 and 2005 Chaparral has been successful in maintaining the export
sales/local market deliveries ratio which had significantly improved from 2002
to 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Chaparral sold approximately
3,297,000 barrels of its current year production, of which approximately
3,108,000 barrels, or 94%, have been sold at world market prices and 189,000
barrels, or 6%, have been sold at domestic market prices compared to 92% at
world market prices and 8% at domestic market prices in 2004.

                                       21
<PAGE>

Customer credit concentration
-----------------------------

During 2005 we sold all of our crude oil for export to Vitol Central Asia S.A.
("Vitol"). This accounted for approximately 98% of the Company's revenues during
the year. KKM has a five year crude oil sales agreement in place with Vitol.
Under this agreement the price for each month's delivery of crude oil is agreed
in advance between the off-taker and KKM. KKM has the absolute right, at its own
discretion, to sell its oil to a third party if a price cannot be agreed. Crude
oil is a fungible product and, as such, a ready market is available subject to
the discussion above concerning commodity price risk. All sales to Vitol are
covered by an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an international bank
having a long term credit rating of no less than 'A'.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
------------------------------------------------

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports we
file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company carried out an
evaluation as of December 31, 2005, under the supervision and the participation
of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based
upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely
alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic
SEC filings.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
-----------------------------------------------------

As a result of the evaluation referred to in the preceding paragraph, there were
no changes during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that materially affected
or are reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial
reporting. There have been no significant changes in internal controls over
financial reporting or other factors subsequent to December 31, 2005.

Board Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions and Compensation Committee
Report on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee of our board of directors determines the compensation
of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table included as
part of "Item 11 - Executive Compensation." The Compensation Committee will
furnish the following report on executive compensation in connection with the
Annual Meeting:

Compensation Philosophy
-----------------------

As members of the Compensation Committee, it is our duty to administer the
executive compensation program for Chaparral. The Compensation Committee is
responsible for establishing appropriate compensation goals for the executive
officers of Chaparral, evaluating the performance of such executive officers in
meeting such goals and making recommendations to the board with regard to
executive compensation. Chaparral's compensation philosophy is to ensure that
executive compensation be directly linked to continuous improvements in
corporate performance, achievement of specific operational, financial and
strategic objectives, and increases in shareholder value. The Compensation
Committee regularly reviews the compensation packages of Chaparral's executive
officers, taking into account factors which it considers relevant, such as
business conditions within and outside the industry, Chaparral's financial
performance, the market composition for executives of similar background and
experience, and the performance of the executive officer under consideration.
The particular elements of Chaparral's compensation programs for executive
officers are described below.

Compensation Structure
----------------------

The base compensation for the executive officers of Chaparral named in the
Summary Compensation Table is intended to be competitive with that paid in
comparable situated industries, taking into account the scope of
responsibilities. The goals of the Compensation Committee in establishing
Chaparral's executive compensation program are:

     o    to compensate the executive officers of Chaparral fairly for their
          contributions to Chaparral's short, medium and long-term performance;
          and

     o    to allow Chaparral to attract, motivate and retain the management
          personnel necessary to Chaparral's success by providing an executive
          compensation program comparable to that offered by companies with
          which Chaparral competes for management personnel.

The elements of Chaparral's executive compensation program are annual base
salaries, annual bonuses and equity incentives. The Compensation Committee bases
its decisions on the scope of the executive's responsibilities, a subjective
evaluation of the executive's performance and the length of time the executive
has been in the position.

In June 2001, Chaparral's stockholders approved the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan,
which sets aside 2.14 million shares of Chaparral's common stock for issuance to
Chaparral's officers, directors, employees, and consultants. Chaparral has not
made any grants under the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2005.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
-------------------------------------------

During fiscal year 2005, Mr. Gill served as Chief Executive Officer of Chaparral
until December 2005 when he resigned. In establishing his base salary, the
Compensation Committee considered the factors set forth above, including the
level of CEO compensation in other publicly owned/similar sized development and
production companies in the oil and gas industry and their level of involvement
in the day-to-day operations of Chaparral.

Executive Compensation Deductibility
------------------------------------

Chaparral intends that amounts paid under Chaparral's compensation plans
generally will be deductible compensation expenses. The Compensation Committee
does not currently anticipate that the amount of compensation paid to executive
officers will exceed the amounts specified as deductible according to Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
-----------------------------------------------------------

No executive officer or director of Chaparral serves as an executive officer,
director, or member of a compensation committee of any other entity, for which
an executive officer, director, or member of such entity is a member of the
board or the Compensation Committee of the board. There are no other interlocks.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In May 2002, Chaparral received a total equity and debt capital infusion of $45
million, which was partially utilized to repay a substantial portion of
Chaparral's loan agreement with Shell Capital. Chaparral received a total
investment of $12 million from CAIH, including $8 million in exchange for
22,925,701 shares, or 60%, of Chaparral's outstanding common stock, and $4
million in exchange for a three year note bearing interest at 12% per annum (the
"Note"). Along with the Note, CAIH received a warrant to purchase 3,076,923
shares of Chaparral's common stock at $1.30 per share (the "Warrant"). These
shares, the Note and the Warrant were purchased by Nelson in May 2004. Nelson
was amalgamated with Caspian in December 2005.

Additionally, Kazkommertsbank, an affiliate of CAIH, provided KKM with a credit
facility totaling $33 million, consisting of $28 million that was used to repay
a portion of the Shell Capital Loan and $5 million that was made available for
KKM's working capital requirements. Chaparral paid CAIH $1.79 million as a
related restructuring fee. This loan was repaid in full on July 1, 2005. See
Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2005 for additional disclosure on loans with affiliates.

In 2003, Chaparral approved a one-year agreement with OJSC Kazkommerts
Securities ("KKS"), an affiliate of Kazkommertsbank. The agreement was effective
as of January 7, 2003 and provided for KKS to assist Chaparral's senior
management with financial advisory and investment banking services. In
consideration for the services, KKS received a monthly fee of $25,000 (the
"Advisory Fee"). This agreement was extended until April 2004 when it was
cancelled.

In August 2004, the Company approved a two-year agreement with Nelson to provide
corporate administrative services and financial advisory services (the "Service
Agreement") to support its business activities. The Service Agreement is
effective as of June 1, 2004 and can be terminated upon 30 days written notice
by either party. In consideration for these services Nelson will receive a fixed
monthly fee of $20,000 for administrative services and $25,000 for financial
advisory services (the "Management Fee"). As part of the Service Agreement,
Nelson is also required to provide personnel to cover Chaparral's executive and
managerial needs. The cost of executive and managerial personnel will be
allocated on the basis of the cost of personnel involved and on the percentage
of time actually spent by such personnel on matters related to Chaparral, as
mutually agreed by the parties from time to time. In addition, Nelson would use
its greater buying power to obtain more favorable rates for goods and services,
including insurance coverage, for Chaparral. These expenditures will be passed
to Chaparral at cost with a ten percent mark-up. The total amount charged for
the Management Fee, the executive and managerial cost, insurance coverage and
the mark-up under the Service Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2005
amounted to $677,000 and $682,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004.

On June 3, 2004, KKM entered into a three year agency agreement with Nelson (the
"Marketing Agreement"), whereby Nelson becomes the duly authorized, exclusive
agent for the purpose of marketing crude oil, and is empowered to represent the
interests of KKM in relations with governmental authorities and commercial
organizations and also enter into contracts and agreements and any other
documents necessary for and related to the marketing of crude oil. The Marketing
Agreement is effective as of June 1, 2004 and can be terminated upon 90 days
written notice by either party. As consideration for the services provided under
the Marketing Agreement, KKM shall pay Nelson a fixed fee of $20,000 per month
and a variable fee of five US cents per barrel of total production in a
reporting calendar month, if the amount of supplies to the local market in that
month is more than 10% of the total amount of production, or eight US cents per
barrel of total production in a reporting calendar month, if the amount of
supplies to the local market in that month is less than 10% of the total amount
of production (the "Marketing Fee"). In 2005 a total of $548,000 was charged
under the marketing agreement compared to $274,000 during 2004.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Chaparral Resources, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chaparral
Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2005 and
2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and
changes in stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Chaparral
Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with US
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Organization

Organization, Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Chaparral Resources, Inc. ("Chaparral") was incorporated in the state of
Colorado on January 13, 1972, principally to engage in the exploration,
development and production of oil and gas properties. Chaparral focuses
substantially all of its efforts on the exploration and development of the
Karakuduk Field, an oilfield located in the Central Asian Republic of
Kazakhstan. In 1999, Chaparral reincorporated from Colorado to Delaware.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chaparral and its
greater than 50% owned subsidiaries, ZAO Karakudukmunay ("KKM"), Central Asian
Petroleum (Guernsey) Limited ("CAP-G"), Korporatsiya Mangistau Terra
International ("MTI"), Road Runner Services Company ("RRSC"), Chaparral
Acquisition Corporation ("CAC") and Central Asian Petroleum, Inc. ("CAP-D").
Chaparral owns 80% of the common stock of CAP-G directly and 20% indirectly
through CAP-D. Hereinafter, Chaparral and its subsidiaries are collectively
referred to as the "Company". All significant intercompany transactions have
been eliminated.

Since May 2002 Chaparral has owned a 60% interest in KKM, a limited liability
company incorporated in Kazakhstan. KKM was formed to engage in the exploration,
development and production of oil and gas properties in the Republic of
Kazakhstan. KKM's only significant investment is in the Karakuduk Field, an
onshore oil field in the Mangistau region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. On
August 30, 1995, KKM entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Oil and Gas
Industry for Exploration, Development and Production of Oil in the Karakuduk Oil
Field in the Mangistau Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the "Agreement").
KKM's rights and obligations regarding the exploration, development and
production of underlying hydrocarbons in the Karakuduk Field are determined by
the Agreement.

KKM's rights to the Karakuduk Field may be terminated under certain conditions
specified in the Agreement. The term of the Agreement is 25 years commencing
from the date of KKM's registration. The Agreement can be extended to a date
agreed between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and KKM as long as
production of petroleum and/or gas is continued in the Karakuduk Field.

KKM is owned jointly by CAP-G (50%), MTI (10%) and Caspian Investments Resources
Ltd. ("Caspian") (40%). In May 2002, Chaparral increased its ownership in KKM
from 50% to 60% through the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of MTI,
a Kazakhstan company.

As a result of the acquisition of MTI during 2002, the Company obtained a
controlling interest in KKM. Consequently, the Company's financial statements
have been consolidated with KKM on a retroactive basis to January 1, 2002. The
Company previously accounted for its 50% investment in KKM using the equity
method of accounting, which is reflected in the Company's financial statements
for periods prior to 2002.

In May 2004, Nelson became the majority shareholder in Chaparral when it
purchased 22,925,701 shares from Central Asian Industrial Holdings, N.V. In
December 2004 KazMunayGaz JSC ("KMG"), the state owned national petroleum and
transportation company of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which owned a 40% interest
in KKM, sold its entire interest in KKM to Nelson. Since May 2004, Nelson has
owned approximately 60% of the outstanding common stock of Chaparral. On October
14, 2005 LUKOIL Overseas, a wholly owned subsidiary of OAO LUKOIL acquired a 65%
interest in Nelson. On December 5, 2005 LUKOIL Overseas acquired the remaining
shares of Nelson. On the same date Nelson was amalgamated with Caspian
Investments Resources Limited ("Caspian") and Nelson ceased to exist. See Note
12 for further details.

Certain comparative figures presented for the 2003 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

Acquisitions

In May 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of MTI from
Dardana Limited. MTI's only asset was its 10% ownership interest in KKM. The
Company acquired MTI to obtain a controlling interest in KKM as well as to
increase the Company's ownership interest in the Karakuduk Field. The aggregate
purchase price was $3.9 million, comprising $1.2 million of cash and common
stock valued at $2.7 million. The value of the 1 million common shares issued
was determined based on the average market price of the Company's common shares
over the 3-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed
and announced. As a result, the total purchase price of $3.9 million was
recorded as an addition to the Company's oil and gas properties.

Exercise of Right of First Refusal of Purchase of Minority Interest in KKM

In November 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with its former majority
stockholder, Nelson, which provided that in the event Chaparral, through CAP-G
and/or MTI, received notice from KazMunayGaz JSC ("KMG"), the state owned
national petroleum and transportation company of the Republic of Kazakhstan,
that KMG desired to sell its 40% equity interest in KKM, then the Company would,
if requested by Nelson, exercise its right of first refusal under the Agreement
to purchase such interest at the price and on the terms specified in such
notice. In December 2004, pursuant to this agreement, the Company, through
CAP-G, exercised its right of first refusal to purchase from KMG the remaining
40% equity interest in KKM. The Company entered into definitive sale and
purchase agreements with both KMG and Nelson, which provided that upon
completion of the acquisition by CAP-G, ownership of the newly acquired 40%
interest in KKM would be transferred to Nelson. The transfer of the 40% interest
from KMG to CAP-G occurred in December 2004, and the transfer from CAP-G to
Nelson was completed in January 2005. The purchase price of $34.6 million paid
by CAP-G to KMG was determined on an open tender, and the funds for this were
made available to CAP-G by Nelson. In addition, Nelson paid the Company a fee of
$1.0 million, recorded as part of Other Income, as well as all documentation and
transaction costs relating to the acquisition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue and related costs are recognized upon delivery of commercial quantities
of oil production from proved reserves, in accordance with the accrual method of
accounting. Losses, if any, are provided for in the period in which the loss is
determined to occur.

Revenue is presented gross of transportation expenses in accordance with EITF
00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. All transactions arising
in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, including assets, liabilities, revenue,
expenses, gains or losses are measured and recorded in U.S. Dollars using the
exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

Cash and other monetary assets held and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than U.S. Dollars are translated at exchange rates prevailing as of the
balance sheet date (133.77 and 130.00 Kazakh Tenge per U.S. Dollar as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively). Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars have been translated at the
estimated historical exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Exchange gains and losses arising from translation of non-U.S. Dollar amounts at
the balance sheet date are recognized as an increase or decrease in income for
the period.

The Tenge is not a convertible currency outside of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The translation of Tenge denominated assets and liabilities in these financial
statements does not indicate that the Company could realize or settle these
assets and liabilities in U.S. Dollars.

The Company had $1.8 million of net monetary liabilities denominated in Tenge as
of December 31, 2005, compared to $8.2 million at December 31, 2004.

Interest Capitalization

The Company capitalizes interest on significant construction projects. Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 34, Capitalization of Interest Costs,
provides standards for the capitalization of interest costs as part of the
historical cost of acquiring assets. FASB Interpretation No. 33 ("FIN 33")
provides guidance for the application of SFAS 34 to the full cost method of
accounting for oil and gas properties. Under FIN 33, costs of investments in
unproved properties and major development projects, on which depreciation,
depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense is not currently taken and on which
exploration or development activities are in progress, qualify for
capitalization of interest. Capitalized interest is calculated by multiplying
the weighted-average interest rate on debt by the amount of costs excluded.
Capitalized interest cannot exceed gross interest expense. The Company incurred
interest costs of $4.67 million and $5.76 million for the years ended December
31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2004 the Company
capitalized interest totaling $213,000. No interest was capitalized in 2005.

Oil and Gas Properties - Full Cost Method

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas
properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration
and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead
costs, are capitalized.

All capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties, including the estimated
future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized using the
unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Investments in
unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until
proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until
impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties
are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized cost to
be amortized.

In addition, the capitalized costs are subject to a "ceiling test." The full
cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule
4-10. The ceiling test is performed on a country-by-country basis. The test
determines a limit, or ceiling, on the book value of oil and gas properties.
That limit is basically the after tax present value of the future net cash flows
from proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. This ceiling is compared to the
net book value of the oil and gas properties reduced by any related deferred
income tax liability. If the net book value reduced by the related deferred
income taxes exceeds the ceiling, an impairment or non-cash write down is
required. A ceiling test impairment can give the Company a significant loss for
a particular period; however, future DD&A expense would be reduced.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of
capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would
significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved
reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income.
Abandonment of properties is accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs
with no loss recognized.

Other Property, Plant and Equipment

Other property, plant and equipment are valued at historical cost and
depreciated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, as follows:


         Description                        Period
         -----------                        ------

Inventory

Crude oil inventory is valued using the first-in, first-out method, at the lower
of cost or net realizable value. Crude oil inventory value represents production
costs associated with lifting and transporting crude oil from the Karakuduk
Field to the KazTransOil pipeline. Crude oil placed into the KazTransOil
pipeline is held as inventory until formally nominated and delivered for sale.
Crude oil inventory as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately 53,000
barrels and 4,000 barrels of crude oil, respectively.

Materials and supplies inventory is valued using the first-in, first-out method,
at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Certain unique items, such as
drilling equipment, are valued using the specific identification method.
Materials and supplies represent plant and equipment for development activities,
drill bits, tubing, casing, wellheads, etc. required for development drilling
operations, spare parts, diesel fuel and various other materials for use in oil
field operations.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed by dividing the income or loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the
computation of basic EPS except that the numerator is increased to exclude
certain charges which would not have been incurred, and the denominator is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding (using the if-converted and treasury stock methods), if securities
containing potentially dilutive common shares (warrants, convertible notes
payable and options) had been converted to such common shares, and if such
assumed conversion is dilutive. The Company's basic and diluted EPS for the
first three quarters of 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2003 are the
same, as the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities would
have been anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS has been calculated for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004 as the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive
securities would have been dilutive for the last quarter of 2004 and all
quarters of 2005.

New Accounting Standards

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The amendments set forth in
SFAS No. 149 require that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted
for similarly. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003 (with a few exceptions) and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The guidance is to be applied
prospectively only. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 as of July 1, 2003 had no
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures on its balance
sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is
within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that
financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS No. 150 was
effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003,
and was otherwise effective for the Company as of July 1, 2003. The adoption of
the applicable provisions of this statement as of the indicated dates had no
effect on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51. The primary
objectives of this interpretation are to provide guidance on the identification
of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through
voting rights ("variable interest entities") and how to determine which business
enterprise (the "primary beneficiary") should consolidate the variable interest
entity and when.

New Accounting Standards (continued)

This new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either (i) the
equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest; or (ii)
the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's
activities without receiving additional financial support from other parties. In
addition, FIN 46 requires that the primary beneficiary, as well as all other
enterprises with a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity,
make additional disclosures. Certain disclosure requirements of FIN 46 were
effective for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003.

In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46 (revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46-R") to address certain FIN
46 implementation issues. The effective dates and impact of FIN 46 and FIN 46-R
are as follows:

     (i)  Special purpose entities ("SPEs") created prior to February 1, 2003.
          The company must apply either the provisions of FIN 46 or early adopt
          the provisions of FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual
          reporting period ending after December 15, 2003.

     (ii) Non-SPEs created prior to February 1, 2003. The company is required to
          adopt FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting
          period ending after March 15, 2004.

    (iii) All entities, regardless of whether a SPE, that were created
          subsequent to January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46 were
          applicable for variable interests in entities obtained after January
          31, 2003. The company is required to adopt FIN 46-R at the end of the
          first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.

The adoption of the provisions of FIN 46-R did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations. SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability
for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a
corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.
Subsequently, the asset retirement cost should be allocated to expense using a
systematic and rational method. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS 143 on January 1, 2003. See Note
11 for the effect of the adoption of SFAS 143.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs, an Amendment of APB
Opinion No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting treatment for
various inventory costs and overhead allocations and is effective for inventory
costs incurred after July 1, 2005. It has not had a material impact on the
Company's financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an
Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS 153 specifies the criteria required to
record a non-monetary asset exchange using carryover basis and is effective for
non-monetary asset exchanges occurring after July 1, 2005. It has not had a
material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004) ("SFAS 123R"), Share
Based Payments. SFAS 123R requires that the cost from all share-based payment
transactions, including stock options, be recognized in the financial statements
at fair value and is effective for public companies in the first interim period
after June 15, 2005. It has not had a material impact on the Company's financial
statements upon adoption.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
SFAS 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a change of accounting
principle. It requires retrospective application of a change of accounting
principle unless impracticable. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005 and is not expected to have a material impact on the
company's financial statements when adopted.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

All of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, notes receivable, and loans payable, have fair values which
approximate their recorded values as they are either short-term in nature or
carry interest rates which approximate market rates.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The ability of the Company to realize the carrying value of its assets is
dependent on being able to develop, transport and market hydrocarbons.
Currently, exports from the Republic of Kazakhstan are restricted since they are
dependent on limited transport routes and, in particular, access to the Russian
pipeline system. Domestic markets in the Republic of Kazakhstan do not permit
world market prices to be obtained. Management believes, however, that over the
life of the project, transportation restrictions will be alleviated by
additional pipeline capacity being planned or currently under construction and
prices will be achievable for hydrocarbons extracted to allow full recovery of
the carrying value of its assets.

Customer credit concentration
-----------------------------

During 2005 we sold all of our crude oil for export to Vitol Central Asia S.A.
("Vitol"). This accounted for approximately 98% of the Company's revenues during
the year. KKM has a five year crude oil sales agreement in place with Vitol.
Under this agreement the price for each month's delivery of crude oil is agreed
in advance between the off-taker and KKM. KKM has the absolute right, at its own
discretion, to sell its oil to a third party if a price cannot be agreed. Crude
oil is a fungible product and, as such, a ready market is available subject to
commodity price risk. All sales to Vitol are covered by an irrevocable letter of
credit issued by an international bank having a long term credit rating of no
less than 'A'.

2.   VAT Receivable

The value added tax (VAT) receivable is a Tenge denominated asset due from the
Republic of Kazakhstan. The VAT receivable consists of VAT paid on local
expenditures and imported goods. Under the Agreement, VAT charged to the Company
is recoverable in future periods as either cash refunds or offsets against the
Company's fiscal obligations, including future income tax liabilities.
Periodically, the Company reviews its outstanding VAT receivable for possible
impairment. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company
utilized its VAT receivable to offset fiscal obligations for approximately $2.22
million and $3.33 million, respectively.

In January 2004, KKM, as part of its obligations under the Agreement, commenced
payments into an escrow account controlled by KKM and the Government of the
Republic of Kazakhstan. The purpose of the payments is to provide a cash fund to
use for future site restoration costs at the Karakuduk Field when operations
cease. Monthly payments of $14,000 will be made until the fund reaches $3
million. In January 2004, an extra amount of $168,000 was paid for amounts due
in 2003.


5.   Oil and Gas Properties - Full Cost

The Company has capitalized all direct costs associated with acquisition,
exploration, and development of the Karakuduk Field. These costs include
geological and geophysical expenditures, license acquisition costs, tangible and
intangible drilling costs, production facilities, pipelines and related
equipment, access roads, gathering systems, management fees related to the
salary costs of individuals directly associated with exploration and development
activities, related interest costs associated with unproved properties and other
costs permitted to be capitalized under the full cost method of accounting.
Overhead and general and administrative costs have been expensed as incurred.

5.   Oil and Gas Properties - Full Cost (continued)

The Company calculates depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas
properties using the unit-of-production method. A depletion rate is computed by
dividing the unamortized costs of proved oil and gas properties by the total
estimated proved reserves. This depletion rate is applied to the physical units
of oil and gas produced during the relevant period. The unamortized costs of
proved oil and gas properties include all capitalized costs net of accumulated
amortization, estimated future costs to develop proved reserves and estimated
dismantling and abandonment costs. Estimates of proved oil and gas reserves are
prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC. Those guidelines
require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating
conditions with no provisions for increases in commodity prices, except by
existing contractual arrangement.

Estimation of oil and gas reserve quantities is inherently difficult and is
subject to numerous uncertainties. Such uncertainties include the projection of
future rates of production, export allocation and the timing of development
expenditures. The accuracy of the estimates depends on the quality of available
geological and geophysical data and requires interpretation and judgment.
Estimates may be revised either upward or downward by results of future
drilling, testing or production. In addition, estimates of volumes considered to
be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in commodity prices and
operating costs. The Company's estimates of reserves are expected to change as
additional information becomes available. A material change in the estimated
volumes of reserves could have an impact on the DD&A rate calculation and the
financial statements.

The Company recognized total amortization expense of $24.54 million and $17.55
million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the
same periods, the Company has an effective amortization rate of $6.94 and $6.19
per barrel produced, respectively. The Company's amortization expense during
2003 was $17.30 million.

In accordance with SFAS 19, Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas
Producing Companies, the Company includes amortization of crude oil production
as a component of crude oil inventory value until the related crude oil is sold.
For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had $331,000 and
$24,000 of amortization expense allocated to crude oil inventory, respectively.

Costs capitalized to oil and gas properties consist of:

7.   Prepaid Sales

Under the terms of its sales agreements with Vitol Central Asia S.A. ("Vitol"),
KKM can receive up to one months forecast revenues one month in advance. Vitol
charges interest on these prepaid sales amounts at LIBOR plus 3%. At December
31, 2005 and 2004, KKM had $0.36 million and $6.59 million respectively of
prepaid sales.

8.   Hedge Agreement

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard provides a comprehensive and
consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and
hedging activities. This statement, as amended by SFAS No. 137, 138, and 149, is
effective for years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS 133
on January 1, 2001. As a result of adoption of SFAS 133, the Company recognizes
all derivative financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements at
fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized
periodically in income or in shareholders' equity as a component of
comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative financial instrument
qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value
hedge or cash flow hedge. Generally, changes in fair values of derivatives
accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in income along with the
portions of the changes in the fair values of the hedged items that relate to
the hedged risks. Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as cash
flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in other
comprehensive income net of deferred taxes. Changes in fair values of
derivatives not qualifying as hedges are reported in income, which require
derivative financial instruments to be recorded at their fair value.

Nelson entered into a hedging agreement with BNP, for the benefit of KKM, in
April 2005, and this agreement was novated in favor of KKM during September
2005. Under this agreement, KKM had the option each month, from April 2005 to
December 2005, to require BNP to pay it an amount per barrel of specified
monthly amounts of crude oil equivalent to the excess of $33.00 per barrel over
the monthly average for that month of dated Brent. The crude oil amounts
specified were 75,000 barrels per calendar month during the second quarter of
2005, 160,000 barrels per calendar month during the third quarter of 2005 and
170,000 barrels per calendar month during the last quarter of 2005. Nelson paid
BNP $267,300 as consideration, equivalent to $0.22 per barrel. This hedging
arrangement was entered into to ensure that variable receipts from oil revenues
were sufficient to meet obligations falling due under the BNP / KBC note
facility. The cost of this hedge was recorded as an expense during 2005.

The Company did not enter into any hedge agreements during 2003 and 2004.

10.  Accrued Production Bonus

Accrued production bonus represents production based bonuses payable to the
Government of Kazakhstan, of $500,000 when cumulative production reaches 10
million barrels and $1.2 million when cumulative production reaches 50 million
barrels. Under current Kazakhstan tax law, the production bonuses will be
considered tax deductible expenditures in the calculation of income taxes. The
Company accrues the production bonuses in relation to cumulative oil production.
The Company accrued $96,000, $109,000 and $213,000 in production bonuses for the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The first production
bonus of $500,000 was settled in July 2004 via offset against VAT repayable to
the Company.

11.  Asset Retirement Obligation

As discussed in Note 1, effective January 1, 2003, the Company changed its
method of accounting for asset retirement obligations in accordance with SFAS
143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. Under the new accounting
method, the Company now recognizes AROs in the period in which they are incurred
if a reasonable estimate of a fair value can be made. The associated asset
retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset.

The cumulative effect of the change on prior years resulted in a gain of $1.02
million, net of tax of $436,000, or $0.02 per share, which is included in income
for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Since 1995, the core business of the Company has been the development of the
Karakuduk Field. The Company has developed an asset that is capable of
producing, processing and transporting crude oil to export markets. The field
still requires up to possibly 80 new wells, but the oil processing and
transportation infrastructure, apart from the obligatory gathering lines and up
to four more gathering stations, are in place. However, further infrastructure
development is planned to increase profitability of the operation, utilize gas
and to maximise oil and produced fluid processing. The Company is legally
required under the Agreement to restore the field to its original condition. The
Company recognized the fair value of its liability for an ARO as of January 1,
2003 in the amount of $516,000 and capitalized that cost as part of the cost
basis of its oil and gas properties and depletes it using the unit-of-production
method over proved reserves.

The following table describes all changes to the Company's asset retirement
obligation liability:

12.  Loans Payable

The Note
--------

In May 2002, the Company received a total equity and debt capital infusion of
$45 million, which was partially utilized to repay a substantial portion of the
Company's loan agreement with Shell Capital, Inc. (the "Shell Capital Loan").
The Company received a total investment of $12 million from Central Asian
Industrial Holdings, N.V. ("CAIH"), including $8 million in exchange for
22,925,701 shares, or 60%, of the Company's outstanding common stock, and $4
million in exchange for a three year note bearing interest at 12% per annum (the
"Note"). Along with the Note, CAIH received a warrant to purchase 3,076,923
shares of the Company's common stock at $1.30 per share (the "Warrant").
Additionally, Kazkommertsbank, an affiliate of CAIH, provided KKM with a credit
facility totaling $33 million (the "KKM Credit Facility"), consisting of $28
million that was used to repay a portion of the Shell Capital Loan and $5
million that was made available for KKM's working capital requirements. The
Company paid CAIH $1.79 million as a related restructuring fee. After May 2002,
the Company has no further commitments or obligation under the Shell Capital
Loan.

The Note was recorded net of a $2.47 million discount, based on the fair market
value of the Warrant issued in conjunction with the Note. The discount is
amortized using the effective interest rate over the life of the Note. The
principal balance of the Note is due on May 10, 2005 and accrued interest is
payable quarterly. The Warrant is fully discussed in Note 13.

In June 2002, the Company prepaid $2 million of the $4 million outstanding
principal balance of the Note. As a result, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $1.22 million from the
write-off of 50% of the unamortized discount on the Note. The extraordinary loss
was netted against the extraordinary gain from the restructuring of the Shell
Capital Loan. In March 2004, the Company re-borrowed the $2 million.

In May 2004, the CAIH shares, the Warrant and the Note were purchased by Nelson.
On March 24, 2005, Chaparral and CAP-G signed a Promissory Note Amendment
Agreement with Nelson. This provided for a prepayment of $1 million of the $4
million due to be repaid to Nelson on May 10, 2005 under the existing $4 million
loan note and the replacement of the existing loan note with a new loan note for
$3 million on substantially similar terms, but with an increase in the interest
rate from 12% to 14% from May 10, 2005 and an extension of the maturity date of
one year to May 10, 2006. On March 31, 2005 the $1 million prepayment was made,
the existing loan note was cancelled and the new loan note was signed. The
benefit of the Warrant and the Note passed to Caspian upon its amalgamation with
Nelson in December 2005.

The Company recognized the following amounts of interest relating to the Note:

                                 December 31,   December 31,   December 31,
                                    2005           2004           2003

                                     $000           $000           $000

     Interest on principal            430            422            240
     Discount amortization            222            494            286

                                  --------       --------       --------
                                      652            916            526
                                  ========       ========       ========


Of the $422,000 interest paid by the Company during 2004, $362,000 was paid to
Nelson. All of the interest during 2005 was paid to Nelson or Caspian.

KKM Credit Facility
-------------------

As mentioned above, in May 2002, KKM established the KKM Credit Facility, a
five-year, $33 million credit line with Kazkommertsbank. The KKM Credit Facility
consisted of a $30 million non-revolving line and a $3 million revolving line,
both of which were fully borrowed by KKM in May 2002. The Company recognized
$1.71 million, $4.18 million and $4.0 million of interest expense on the KKM
Credit Facility for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

12.  Loans Payable (continued)

KKM Credit Facility (continued)
-------------------------------

The non-revolving portion of the KKM Credit Facility accrued simple interest at
an annual rate of 14% and was repayable over a five-year period with final
maturity in May 2007. Accrued interest was payable quarterly, beginning in
December 2002, and KKM began making quarterly principal repayments in May 2003.
The proceeds of the BNP / KBC loan described below were utilized to repay the
KKM Credit Facility in full on July 1, 2005.

The revolving portion of the KKM Credit Facility accrued simple interest at an
annual rate of 14%. As at December 31, 2004, there was an outstanding balance of
$3 million on the revolving portion of the loan which matured and was repaid on
February 9, 2005. The revolving portion of the KKM Credit Facility was
classified as current as of December 31, 2004. Accrued interest on the revolving
loan was payable at maturity.

The original KKM Credit Facility included repayment terms of three years and
four years for the non-revolving and revolving portions, respectively, with an
option to extend the final maturity date for repayment of the entire KKM Credit
Facility to five years. KKM exercised the option as of May 2002.

BNP / KBC Credit Facility
-------------------------

On March 24, 2005, KKM signed a $40 million Structured Crude Oil Pre-export
Credit Facility Agreement with BNP Paribas (Suisse) SA ("BNP") and KBC Bank N.V.
(the "BNP / KBC Credit Facility"). On June 30, 2005, $32 million was drawn down
from this facility. For six months from 30 June, 2005 the facility is a
revolving credit, after which the amount outstanding becomes a term loan
repayable in 36 equal monthly installments commencing on December 30, 2005. The
purpose of the loan is to refinance the KKM Credit Facility, fund future
development costs and fund fees related to the facility.

Each year the lenders may propose, but are under no obligation to do so, an
extension of the facility by one year, for an agreed fee, and/or an increase of
the facility amount for an agreed fee. Each month during the term loan period,
KKM may make full or partial prepayments of the facility at no extra cost.
Partial prepayments must be for amounts of $2 million or more. The interest rate
applicable under the facility is LIBOR plus 3.25% in the first year and LIBOR
plus 4.00% thereafter. Interest is payable monthly. Fees paid by KKM include a
1.75% arrangement fee, a 1.65% p.a. commitment fee on the unused commitment
during the revolving credit period, $100,000 for the lenders' legal costs and
$15,000 for agency and technical bank fees. Fees payable include $15,000 per
quarter in advance for agency and technical bank fees. A total of $0.8 million
has been accrued for the arrangement fee and legal costs which is being
amortized over the life of the facility.

As part of the BNP/KBC Credit Facility conditions, an Offtake Agreement was
signed in June 2005 with Vitol Central Asia S.A. ("Vitol") whereby KKM is
obligated to sell to Vitol, and Vitol is obligated to buy, all of KKM's crude
oil production available for export at international market prices for five
years from July 1, 2005, with step-in rights in favor of the lenders. In
accordance with the BNP/KBC Credit Facility conditions, accounts receivable from
Vitol are pledged as collateral for the loan. In addition, a performance and
financial guarantee was issued by Nelson (the "Nelson Guarantee") in support of
all amounts owing by KKM under the BNP/KBC Credit Facility. Under a separate
agreement, in consideration for issuing the Nelson Guarantee, KKM will pay
Nelson, annually in advance, a fee of 2.5% p.a. on the facility amount of $40
million for the first six months and on the daily principal amount of the loan
outstanding during the term period. An amount of $1.0 million, which was paid in
July for the estimated first years guarantee fee, has been accrued in June and
is being amortized over twelve months.

A further condition of the BNP/KBC Credit Facility is that KKM enter into a
Crude Oil Hedging Agreement before the end of August 2005. Nelson entered into
such a hedging agreement with BNP, for the benefit of KKM, in April 2005, and
this agreement was subsequently novated in favor of KKM. Under this agreement,
KKM has the option each month, from April 2005 to December 2005, to require BNP
to pay it an amount per barrel of specified monthly amounts of crude oil
equivalent to the excess of $33.00 per barrel over the monthly average for that
month of dated Brent. The crude oil amounts specified are 75,000 barrels per
calendar month during the second quarter of 2005, 160,000 barrels per calendar
month during the third quarter of 2005 and 170,000 barrels per calendar month
during the last quarter of 2005. Nelson paid BNP $267,300 as consideration,
equivalent to $0.22 per barrel.

General

1998 Incentive and Non-statutory Stock Option Plan

On June 26, 1998, the stockholders approved the 1998 Incentive and Non-statutory
Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan"), pursuant to which up to 50,000 options to
acquire the Company's common stock may be granted to officers, directors,
employees or consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The stock options
granted under the 1998 Plan may be either incentive stock options or
non-statutory stock options. The 1998 Plan has an effective term of ten years,
commencing on May 20, 1998. The Company has not granted any options under the
1998 Plan as of December 31, 2005.

2001 Stock Incentive Plan

In June 2001, the Company's stockholders approved the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan,
which sets aside a total of 2.14 million shares of the Company's common stock
for issuance to the Company's officers, directors, employees and consultants.
The Company has not made any grants under the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan as of
December 31, 2005.

Common Stock Offerings and Common Stock Warrant Issuances

As discussed in Note 12, the Company issued to CAIH a warrant to purchase
3,076,923 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.30 per
share, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions. The Warrant is exercisable
for five years from May 10, 2002, the date of grant. The fair market value of
the Warrant of $2.47 million was recorded as a discount on the Note. The fair
market value of the Warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.09%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility
factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 0.624, and
a weighted average life expectancy of 3.5 years. The Warrant was sold to Nelson
in May 2004. Nelson was amalgamated with Caspian in December 2005.

As discussed in Note 12, the Company received a total investment of $12 million
from CAIH, including $8 million in exchange for 22,925,701 shares, or 60%, of
the Company's outstanding common stock. These shares were sold to Nelson in May
2004.

SFAS 123 Disclosure

SFAS 123 requires that pro-forma information regarding net income and earnings
per share are determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock
options under the fair value method as defined in SFAS 123. The fair value for
the options issued is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model by using weighted average assumptions, volatility factors
of the expected market price of the Company's common stock and the weighted
average life expectancy of the options. The Company did not issue any options
during the period 2000 to 2005 and all outstanding options were fully vested as
of December 31, 1999, therefore pro-forma information is not presented.

Restrictions on dividend payments

Under the terms of the BNP / KBC credit facility KKM may not pay dividends

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.

For financial reporting purposes, income before income taxes, extraordinary
gain, and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle includes the
following components:

14.  Income Taxes (continued)

SFAS 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets
reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After
consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has
determined that a $13.30 million valuation allowance at December 31, 2005 is
necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely
than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for the current year
is $0.79 million. The increase in valuation allowance is mainly due to net
operating losses arising in 2005, that in the opinion of the Company are
unlikely to be realized, partially offset by the expiration of net operating
losses from prior years.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has estimated domestic tax loss
carry-forwards of $25.7 million. These carry-forwards will expire at various
times between 2006 and 2022.

                              Expiration of domestic tax loss carry-forward

  Tax loss carry-forward   272        741         1,079         23,590    25,682


During 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2005 the Company had an ownership change under
ss.382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which significantly limits the Company's
use of its net operating tax loss carry-forwards.

Undistributed earnings associated with the Company's interest in KKM amounted to
approximately $51.13 million at December 31, 2005. Those earnings are considered
to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal
income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in
the form of dividends, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes
(subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable
to the Republic of Kazakhstan. Determination of the amount of unrecognized
deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practical because of the complexities
associated with the hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax
credit carry forwards would be available to reduce some portion of the U.S.
liability. Withholding taxes of approximately $7.67 million would be payable
upon remittance of the Company's share of all previously unremitted earnings at
December 31, 2005.

Foreign taxes applicable to the Company are specified under the Agreement with
the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. As of December 31, 2005, the
Company has utilized all available foreign tax loss carry forwards.

In December 2002, KKM received a claim from the Ministry of State Revenues of
the Republic of Kazakhstan for $9.1 million (the "Tax Claim") relating to taxes
and penalties covering the three years from 1999 to 2001. KKM appealed the claim
through the courts in Kazakhstan, which eventually ruled in favor of KKM with
the exception of $255,000 which was upheld. As a result, KKM reversed $899,000
of income taxes accrued during 2002 for the Tax Claim net of $255,000 which was
settled in January 2004.

The Ministry of State Revenues of the Republic of Kazakhstan had been
considering penalties with respect to the Tax Claim in the amount of $970,000.
In March 2004 a court hearing was conducted which resulted in a reduction of
these penalties to $53,000. This amount was paid in full during 2004.

The Company has used the best estimates available to determine the Company's
deferred tax assets and liabilities. Refer to Note 16 regarding the
uncertainties of taxation in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

15.  Operating Leases

The Company entered into a sublease agreement for office space extending from
March 2000 through November 2003. At the expiration date of the lease, the
Company moved its registered office from Houston, Texas to White Plains, New
York. In addition, the Company entered into a new 6 month lease agreement for
reduced office space at a new location in Houston; as of March 31, 2004 this
lease was renewed for a further 6 months. Effective June 30, 2004 the Company
relocated its administrative offices to London and the Houston office lease was
cancelled as at the same date. The remaining lease payments of approximately
$6,000 were contractually paid in full for the remainder of the lease. The
Company also cancelled

remaining lease payments of approximately $10,200 were contractually paid in
full for the remainder of the lease.

The Company's rental expense for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately nil,
$30,000 and $144,000 respectively.

16.  Commitments and Contingencies

Taxation
--------

As part of the process of preparing the Company's consolidated financial
statements, the Company is required to estimate its taxes in each of the
jurisdictions of operation. This process involves management estimating the
actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences
resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are
included within the consolidated balance sheets. Management then must assess the
likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable
income and, to the extent recovery is not likely, management must establish a
valuation allowance. Future taxable income depends on the ability to generate
income in excess of allowable deductions. To the extent the Company establishes
a valuation allowance or increases this allowance in a period, an expense is
recorded within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of operations.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for
income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance
recorded against net deferred tax assets. In the event that actual results
differ from these estimates or the Company adjusts these estimates in future
periods, the Company may need to establish a valuation allowance that could
materially impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the existing legislation with regard to taxation in the Republic of
Kazakhstan is constantly evolving as the Government manages the transition from
a command to a market economy. Tax and other laws applicable to the Company are
not always clearly written and their interpretation is often subject to the
opinions of the local or central tax authorities. Instances of inconsistent
opinions between local, regional and national tax authorities are not unusual.

In December 2002, KKM received an amendment to the Agreement to provide for the
stabilization of taxes and clarification on tax laws applicable to KKM. The
amendment increased the KKM royalty rate from 8% to 8.14% and allowed KKM to use
the lower current tax rates for payroll taxes, social taxes and pension taxes.
In addition, during 2003 the royalty rate was increased to 8.4% from 8.14%. The
effect of these changes is reflected in the Company's financial statements from
the year ended December 31, 2003 onwards.

Basis of Accounting
-------------------

KKM maintains its statutory books and records in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles and calculates taxable income or loss using the
existing Kazakh tax legislation in effect on August 30, 1995, the date the
Agreement was signed. The Company considers these accounting methods correct
under the terms of the Agreement. The Republic of Kazakhstan currently requires
companies to comply with Kazakh accounting regulations and to calculate tax
profits or losses in accordance with these regulations as well as the prevailing
tax law.

17.  Local Oil Sales Requirements and Export Quotas

The ability of the Company to realize the carrying value of its assets is
dependent on being able to transport hydrocarbons and finding appropriate
markets for their sale. Domestic markets in the Republic of Kazakhstan currently
do not permit world market prices to be obtained. The Company is responsible for
obtaining export quotas and finalizing access routes through the KTO pipeline
and onward through the Russian pipeline system. The Company has a right to
export, and receive export quota for, 100% of the production from the Karakuduk
Field under the terms of the Agreement.

During 2005, the Company sold all of its exported crude oil to Vitol Central
Asia S.A.

Oil and gas producers within Kazakhstan are required to sell a certain portion
of their crude oil production to the local market to supply local energy needs.

Sales to export and local markets can be summarized as follows:

                                               Year Ended December 31,

The Company continues to seek an amicable resolution with the Government to
eliminate local market requirements and is no longer considering commencing
formal arbitration proceedings pursuant to its contractual arrangements with the
Government.

18.  Capital Commitments

The Company's drilling and operations related contracts can either be cancelled
within 30 days or are on a call-off (as required) basis. On January 16, 2006 the
drilling contract with OGEC expired and the rig was demobilized.

At December 31, 2005 the Company had made purchase commitments for work
associated with the rail rack and reservoir facilities of $3.3 million. It had
no other significant commitments other than those incurred during the normal
performance of the work program to develop the Karakuduk Field.

19.  Related Party Transactions

In 2003, the Company approved a one-year agreement with OJSC Kazkommerts
Securities ("KKS"), an affiliate of Kazkommertsbank. The agreement was effective
as of January 7, 2003 and provided for KKS to assist the Company's senior
management with financial advisory and investment banking services. In
consideration for the services KKS received a monthly fee of $25,000 (the
"Advisory Fee"). The agreement was extended for four months and ended April 30,
2004.

19.  Related Party Transactions (continued)

Kazkommerts Policy, an affiliate of Kazkommertsbank, is the major insurer of
KKM's oil and gas activities. The current insurance policy expires in March 2006
and was awarded following an open tender process.

KKM has a contract to transport 100% of its oil sales through the pipeline owned
and operated by KTO, a wholly owned subsidiary of KMG, the 40% minority
shareholder in KKM until December 2004. The rates for transportation are in
accordance with those approved by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Currently, the use of the KTO pipeline system is the only viable method of
exporting KKM's production. As KTO notifies KKM of the export sales allocated to
it on a monthly basis, KTO controls both the volume and transportation cost of
export sales.

KKM makes a prepayment for crude transportation based upon the allocation of
export sales received from KTO. This prepayment includes pipeline costs charged
by the operators of the Russian and Ukrainian pipeline systems which are
dependent upon the point of sale of KKM's exports. During 2004, KKM paid $13.35
million to KTO, of which $13.14 million related to transportation costs for
sales during 2004. Comparably during 2003, KKM paid $11.56 million to KTO, of
which $11.29 million related to transportation costs for sales during 2003. See
Note 3 for prepaid transportation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

KTO charges KKM for associated costs of oil storage within their pipeline
system, sales commission and customs clearance fees in respect to export sales.
KTO also provides KKM with water through the Volga Water pipeline. Amounts
recognized for these services during 2004 and 2003 were $204,000 and $267,000,
respectively.

KMGD, a subsidiary of KMG, provided a drilling rig for the drilling campaign,
which commenced February 12, 2003 and was contracted to provide the services of
a drilling rig until the end of December 2004.

The total amounts of the transactions with the above related companies are as
follows:

19.  Related Party Transactions (continued)

In August 2004, the Company approved a two-year agreement with Nelson to provide
corporate administrative services and financial advisory services (the "Service
Agreement") to support its business activities. The Service Agreement is
effective as of June 1, 2004 and can be terminated upon 30 days written notice
by either party. In consideration for these services Nelson will receive a fixed
monthly fee of $20,000 for administrative services and $25,000 for financial
advisory services (the "Management Fee"). As part of the Service Agreement,
Nelson is also required to provide personnel to cover Chaparral's executive and
managerial needs. The cost of executive and managerial personnel will be
allocated on the basis of the cost of personnel involved and on the percentage
of time actually spent by such personnel on matters related to Chaparral, as
mutually agreed by the parties from time to time. In addition, Nelson will use
its greater buying power to obtain more favorable rates for goods and services,
including insurance coverage, for Chaparral. These expenditures will be passed
to Chaparral at cost with a ten percent mark-up. The total amount charged for
the Management Fee, the executive and managerial cost, insurance coverage and
the mark-up under the Service Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2005
amounted to $677,000 and $682,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004.

On June 3, 2004, KKM entered into a three year agency agreement with Nelson (the
"Marketing Agreement"), whereby Nelson becomes the duly authorized, exclusive
agent for the purpose of marketing crude oil, and is empowered to represent the
interests of KKM in relations with governmental authorities and commercial
organizations and also enter into contracts and agreements and any other
documents necessary for and related to the marketing of crude oil. The Marketing
Agreement is effective as of June 1, 2004 and can be terminated upon 90 days
written notice by either party. As consideration for the services provided under
the Marketing Agreement, KKM shall pay Nelson a fixed fee of $20,000 per month
and a variable fee of five US cents per barrel of total production in a
reporting calendar month, if the amount of supplies to the local market in that
month is more than 10% of the total amount of production, or eight US cents per
barrel of total production in a reporting calendar month, if the amount of
supplies to the local market in that month is less than 10% of the total amount
of production (the "Marketing Fee"). In 2005 a total of $548,000 was charged
under the marketing agreement compared to $274,000 during 2004.

All other related party transactions are disclosed in other notes to the
financial statements. The loans with Kazkommertsbank and Nelson are disclosed in
Note 12 and prepaid transportation to KTO in Note 3.

20.  Subsequent Events

On March 13, 2006 Chaparral announced that it had entered into an agreement with
LUKOIL Overseas Holding Limited ("LUKOIL Overseas") to effect a merger into a
wholly owned subsidiary of LUKOIL Overseas. On the effective date of this
merger, all issued and outstanding common stock of Chaparral will be exchanged
for $5.80 per share in cash. The transaction is subject to the approval of a
meeting of stockholders expected to be held in May 2006 and certain other
conditions including the receipt of all regulatory approvals and consents.
Further details are contained within the form 8-K filed by the Company with the
SEC on March 14, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On March 14, 2006, a lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery in the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle County by Robert Kelly against Chaparral, LUKOIL
Overseas and the directors of Chaparral requesting among other things, that the
suit be designated a class action in favor of stockholders, that the merger be
declared unlawful and unenforceable because it was entered into in breach of the
individual defendants' fiduciary duties and that the merger be enjoined.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - DISCLOSURES ABOUT OIL AND GAS
PRODUCING ACTIVITIES - UNAUDITED


The following supplemental information regarding the oil and gas activities of
the Company is presented pursuant to the disclosure requirements promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and SFAS 69, Disclosures
About Oil and Gas Producing Activities.

The following estimates of reserve quantities and related standardized measure
of discounted net cash flows are estimates only, and are not intended to reflect
realizable values or fair market values of the Company's reserves. The Company
emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of
new discoveries are more imprecise than producing oil and gas properties.
Additionally, the price of oil has been very volatile and downward changes in
prices can significantly affect quantities that are economically recoverable.
Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information
becomes available and these changes may be significant.

KKM sold 3.30 million barrels of crude oil in 2005, of which 189,000 barrels, or
approximately 6%, were sold to the local market. Comparatively, the Company sold
2.76 million barrels of crude oil in 2004, of which 214,000, or approximately
8%, was sold to the local market. Under the Agreement, KKM has the right to sell
100% of its production on the export market for world market prices and a right
to export 100% of its production under the terms of its Agreement with the
Government. Although the Company expects to sell 100% of its production on the
export market in future years, the year-end prices used for the standardized
measure of discounted net cash flows for 2005 reflects the assumption that 7% of
KKM's production will be sold on the local market for a substantially lower net
oil price. Year-end prices used for the standardized measure of discounted net
cash flows for 2004 and 2003 reflect the assumption that 10% and 5% of KKM's
production would have been sold on the local market for a substantially lower
net oil price, respectively.

Proved reserves are estimated reserves of crude oil and natural gas that
geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be
recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and
operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those expected to be
recovered through existing wells, equipment and operating methods.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves and estimated future income tax expenses. The estimated future net cash
flows are then discounted using a rate of 10% a year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows.
