BNK's President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolf Regener commented:

"With the recently announced signing of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with XTO Energy Inc. for the sale of our Tishomingo Field assets in Oklahoma, other than the Caney and upper Sycamore formations, for $147.5 million in cash, post-closing, the Company will be well positioned to maximize what we believe will be outstanding opportunities in the oil-rich Caney and upper Sycamore formations and to pursue our exciting European projects with or without partners. The test results from the first Caney wells have been encouraging and we look forward to drilling the next wells, where the first of them is about to begin drilling. Completion of the sale transaction with XTO Energy Inc. is subject to customary closing conditions. If those conditions are satisfied, the transaction is expected to close in late April, 2013.

The fourth quarter loss was $4.5 million versus income of $.7 million earned in the fourth quarter of 2011. For the full year a loss of $14.9 million was incurred versus a profit of $.7 million earned in 2011.

Capital expenditures were a record $41.1 million in 2012 as the Company continued to invest in Oklahoma and drilled two wells in Poland.

In Poland, as was stated in the Company's January 13, 2013 press release, the Company continues to await approval to re-enter, drill a horizontal leg and fracture stimulate the Gapowo B-1 well. The Company is continuing to have discussions with potential farmout partners, but under the assumed sale of the Company's Woodford assets, the Company will have the flexibility to drill the Gapowo B-1 well on its own, after approval for re-entry is received.

The Company is continuing to have discussions with potential farmout partners for its European assets, but once sale of the Company's Woodford assets to XTO Energy Inc. is completed, the Company will have the flexibility to drill the Gapowo B-1 well on its own.

In Spain, the Company has submitted five separate Environmental Impact Assessments ("EIA") documents for the exploration permits on its Sedano and Urraca concessions. The EIA's are part of the process to obtain approval to drill exploration wells on these concessions."

FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:

- Net loss was $4.5 million versus earnings of $.7 million from the fourth
  quarter of 2011
- Capital expenditures were $5.0 million versus $10.8 million from the fourth
  quarter of 2011, a decrease of 54%
- Average per day production from the Tishomingo field in Oklahoma decreased to
  1,681 versus 2,066 from the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of 19%
- Average netbacks were $17.83 in the quarter versus $26.06 in the fourth
  quarter of 2011 or a decline of 32%

Fourth Quarter 2012 to Fourth Quarter 2011

Oil and gas revenues before royalties totaled $5,184,000 in the fourth quarter versus $8,098,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011. Oil revenues decreased $1,165,000 or 39% as average oil prices decreased 12% to $80.93 a barrel while average production per day declined 31%. Retroactive working interest adjustments reduced average fourth quarter crude oil prices by $3.03 a barrel, absent these adjustments average fourth quarter crude oil prices would have been $83.96. NGL revenue decreased $991,000 or 32% due to average production per day decreasing 41 barrels a day or 5% while average NGL prices decreased 29% to $31.02 a barrel. Natural gas revenues decreased 37% to $757,000 as average per day gas production decreased 25% to 4,240 metric cubic feet per day (mcf/d) while average natural gas prices decreased 16% to $3.28 an MCF.

Other income decreased $297,000 from $1,195,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 primarily due to lower management fee income relating to the Company's role as Manager of Saponis Investments Sp z o.o. ("Saponis") partially offset by gains from eliminating asset retirement obligations for wells no longer owned by the Company.

Exploration and evaluation expenses increased $526,000 in the quarter due to costs incurred relating to the decision to discontinue drilling activities in certain concessions in Germany.

Production and operating expenses totaled $1,453,000 versus $1,625,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 or 11% commensurate with the 19% decline in production between periods.

Depletion and depreciation expenses decreased 16% to $1,936,000 also due to the decline in average production between periods.

General and administrative expenses decreased 2% to $4,267,000 due to lower professional fees between quarters.

Restructuring costs increased $566,000 to $756,000 due to severance costs relating the decision to discontinue exploration activities in five concessions in Germany and to eliminate the New Venture Geological staff in the Camarillo office and absorb those activities with the existing Geological staff.

Finance income decreased 86% to $446,000 primarily due to lower foreign exchange gains.

Finance expense decreased in the fourth quarter by 45% to 768,000 due to lower unrealized losses on financial commodity contracts.

Full Year 2012 versus Full Year 2011:

FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS:

- Average production decreased 4% to 1,581 barrels per day
- Net oil and gas revenues decreased 27% to $16,273,000 from $22,179,000
- Net loss totaled $14,948,000 versus net income of $705,000 in 2011
- Average net-back per barrel decreased 34% to $17.75
- Cash flow used by operating activities totaled $9,650,000 versus providing
  $3,737,000 in 2011
- Capital expenditures totaled $41,113,000 of which $26,688,000 was spent in
  Poland and $12,818,000 was spent in Oklahoma
- Other Income declined $2,776,000 to $1,633,000

Oil and gas revenues net of royalties totaled $16,273,000 in 2012 versus $22,179,000 in 2011. Oil revenues before royalties decreased $2,053,000 or 19% as average oil prices decreased $0.35 a barrel or .4% to $90.59 while average oil production per day decreased 19% to 257 barrels per day. Natural gas liquid revenues (NGLs) before royalties decreased $2,980,000 or 28% as average NGL prices decreased 30% to $31.58 while average per day production increased 3%. Natural gas revenues before royalties decreased $2,237,000 or 37% as average natural gas production decreased 3% while average natural gas prices decreased 35% to $2.66 metric cubic feet.

Other income declined $2,776,000 due to the seismic sale in 2011 and lower management fees partially offset by gains from eliminating asset retirement obligations.

Exploration and evaluation expenses declined $757,000 due to higher exploration costs in 2011 relating to pre-concession activity and a 2011 impairment in the United States partially offset by the write-off of E&E assets related to five concessions in Germany in 2012.

Depletion and depreciation expense increased $536,000 or 8% due to an increased depletable base on which the depletion rate is applied.

General and administrative expenses increased $4,670,000. This increase was primarily due to higher payroll and related costs from increased headcount of $2,951,000, higher consulting, management, accounting and public relations costs of $970,000 and an increase in legal costs relating to the European assets of $414,000.

Restructuring costs totaling $1,771,000 were incurred to reorganize the European assets to facilitate their management and financing and for severance relating to Germany and Camarillo.

Finance income decreased $1,375,000 primarily due to lower unrealized gains on warrant revaluation and foreign exchange gains in 2011.

Finance expense increased $1,346,000 primarily due to foreign exchange losses of $721,000 relating to foreign currency denominated transactions in Poland and fluctuations between the US dollar and the Euro, higher interest expense of $299,000 due to increased borrowings and unrealized losses on financial commodity contracts in 2012.

The information outlined above is extracted from and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the related management's discussion and analysis thereof, copies of which are available under the Company's profile at http://www.sedar.com.

Non-GAAP Measures

Funds from operations and funds from operations per common share are not defined by GAAP in Canada and are referred to as non-GAAP measures. Funds from operations are based on cash flow from operating activities as per the statement of cash flows before changes in non-cash working capital. Funds from operations per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding consistent with the calculation of net earnings (loss) per share.

For more details on non-GAAP measures, refer to BNK's "Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Non-IFRS Information

Netback per barrel and its components are calculated by dividing revenue, royalties and operating expenses by the Company's sales volume during the period. Netback per barrel is a non-IFRS measure but it is commonly used by oil and gas companies to illustrate the unit contribution of each barrel produced. This is a useful measure for investors to compare the performance of one entity with another. The non-IFRS measures referred to above do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

The Company also uses the "barrels" (bbls) or "barrels of oil equivalent" (boe) reference in this report to reflect natural gas liquids and oil production and sales. All boe conversions are derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil, representing the approximate energy equivalency which is applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
