2011 THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS



--  Pan Orient had total corporate funds flow from operations of $13.2
    million for the third quarter of 2011 compared with $13.3 million for
    the second quarter of 2011 and $15.4 million for the third quarter of
    2010. Funds flow from operations per share (basic) was $0.23 for the
    third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Pan
    Orient had total corporate funds flow from operations of $38.8 million,
    or $0.71 per share (basic). 
--  Net income attributable to common shareholders of $3.9 million, or $0.07
    per share (basic), for the third quarter of 2011 compared with net
    income attributable to common shareholders of $4.6 million ($0.08 per
    share - basic) for the second quarter of 2011 and $5.4 million ($0.11
    per share - basic) for the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months
    ended September 30, 2011, Pan Orient had net income attributable to
    common shareholders of $12.4 million, or $0.23 per share (basic). 
--  Total capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2011 were $15.4
    million, with $10.3 million in Thailand and $5.0 million in Indonesia.
    For the first nine months of 2011, total capital expenditures have been
    $57.8 million, with $38.1 million in Thailand primarily for the drilling
    of 20 gross wells, $19.5 million in Indonesia for exploration activities
    relating to the four Production Sharing Contracts ("PSC's") and the
    drilling of two wells at the Batu Gajah PSC, and $0.2 million in Canada.
    For the first nine months of 2011, capital expenditures in Thailand have
    been funded by Thailand funds flow from operations, and the capital
    expenditures in Indonesia and Canada have been funded from the $1.4
    million of free cash flow from Thailand and $18.4 million from working
    capital. 
--  At September 30, 2011 Pan Orient had $58.0 million of working capital
    and non-current deposits, and no long-term debt. In addition, Pan Orient
    had $12.0 million of equipment inventory to be utilized for future
    Thailand and Indonesia operations which is included in exploration and
    evaluation costs on the balance sheet. As at September 30, 2011
    estimated commitments in Indonesia were $31.9 million for the Batu
    Gajah, Citarum and South CPP PSC's, plus an estimated $7.3 million in
    commitments associated with the East Jabung PSC which was formally
    granted on November 21, 2011. Estimated commitments in Thailand at
    September 30, 2011 were $0.9 million, principally for the drilling of
    two additional wells in Concession L53. 
--  Indonesia 
    --  At the Batu Gajah PSC on-shore Sumatra (Pan Orient operator and 97%
        ownership), Pan Orient commenced the exploration drilling program in
        late March 2011. 
        --  The Tuba Obi Utara-1 (NTO-1) exploration well drilled at the end
            of the first quarter and into the second quarter encountered
            10.5 feet of gas pay within good-quality sand near the top of
            the Lower Talang Akar formation ("LTAF"). The follow-up NTO-1ST
            side track well encountered the same LTAF gas sand formation
            identified at the NTO-1 well, but of lower reservoir quality.
            Initial drilling results at North Tuba Obi are encouraging with
            proven gas in the LTAF and oil shows in the Upper Talang Akar
            sand. The first Appraisal of the North Tuba Obi gas discovery,
            NTO-2 is planned to be drilled in the first quarter of 2012 at a
            location approximately 5.5 kilometers east and 200 meters
            structurally higher than the NTO-1 discovery well. NTO-2 will be
            targeting natural gas in the LTAF and oil in the overlying Upper
            Talang Akar and Air Benakat sandstone zones.  
        --  The SE Tiung-1 exploration well drilled in June and into July
            encountered oil shows and good quality sands within the primary
            Lower Talang Akar target horizon but wire line logging indicated
            the zone to be water bearing. The secondary objective of the
            Gumai and Upper Talang Akar formation sands were also present,
            but interpreted as being water bearing. The results at SE Tiung-
            1 have no bearing whatsoever on the prospectivity of the
            upcoming two well program planned for the first quarter of 2011
            and we remain confident in the overall hydrocarbon potential of
            the Batu Gajah PSC. 
        --  Two wells are planned for the Batu Gajah PSC in the first
            quarter of 2012 with the North Tuba Obi Utara-2 (NTO-2)
            exploration / appraisal well and Shinta-1 exploration well. The
            Company is currently focused on finalizing a comprehensive
            surface access agreement which includes the use of roads and
            land area for well pads with the Indonesian company which holds
            the forestry surface rights. This agreement is estimated to be
            in place by year end. 
    --  At the Citarum PSC on-shore Java (Pan Orient operator and 77%
        ownership), one location (Jatayu-1) has been completed and a second
        location (Cataka-1) is approximately 90% complete after having
        experienced some delay as a result of annual monsoon rains. Surface
        casing has been set on both wells utilizing a service rig and
        drilling rig mobilization on to the Cataka-1 location is planned to
        commence on November 26th with drilling to commence in early to mid-
        December. Construction on the third location of Geulis-1 will
        commence shortly after the completion of construction on Cataka-1.
        All three wells are planned to be drilled back to back starting with
        Cataka-1 in the first half of December 2011.  
    --  East Jabung PSC was formally granted on a 100% basis to Pan Orient
        on November 21, 2011. The 6,228 square kilometer East Jabung PSC is
        located on and offshore south Sumatra Indonesia, and directly east
        and adjacent to the company's 97% working interest and operated Batu
        Gajah PSC. The firm three year exploration commitment (including two
        wells and seismic) for the East Jabung PSC totals $7.3 million. 
--  Thailand 
    --  Average 2011 oil sales in Thailand in the third quarter of 2011 of
        2,000 BOPD with 1,181 BOPD from Concession L44, 502 BOPD from
        Concession L53, 200 BOPD from Concession SW1 and 117 BOPD from
        Concession L33. This compares with 2,052 BOPD in the second quarter
        of 2011 and 4,211 BOPD in the third quarter of 2010. 
    --  Funds flow from Thailand operations was $13.1 million for the third
        quarter of 2011 ($71.33 per barrel) compared with $13.5 million for
        the second quarter of 2011 ($72.27 per barrel). Funds flow from
        Thailand operations decreased 3% in the third quarter of 2011 due to
        a 3% decrease in oil sales volumes and a 1% decrease in the realized
        price for crude oil, partially offset a decrease in current income
        taxes. 
        
        For the third quarter of 2011, transportation expenses were $2.16
        per barrel, operating expenses and other royalty $12.80 per barrel,
        general and administrative expenses $5.49 per barrel and amounts to
        the Thailand government of $6.54 per barrel resulted in after tax
        funds flow from operations per barrel of $71.33. The Company's
        realized price for crude oil per barrel of CDN$98.29 represents 87%
        of the Brent reference price for crude oil of CDN$112.47 per barrel,
        and 110% of the WTI reference price for crude oil of CDN$89.50 per
        barrel. For the third quarter of 2011, Thailand crude oil revenue of
        $98.29 per barrel was allocated 21% to expenses for transportation,
        operating, and general & administrative, 7% to the government of
        Thailand in the form of royalties, Special Remuneratory Benefit
        ("SRB") and Income Tax, and 72% to Pan Orient.  
    --  During the third quarter of 2011 Pan Orient drilled five wells (3.0
        net wells) in Thailand with capital expenditures of $10.3 million.
        Four wells were drilled at Concession L44 with the NSW-A exploration
        well, the L44-G2 appraisal well in the Na Sanun East field, a
        development well at the NSE-F1 field and the POR-6B appraisal well
        at the Wichian Buri field, and the NS-2A appraisal well was drilled
        in Concession SW1. In addition, the WBEXT-1D well drilled in late
        2010 was sidetracked. 
    --  In the first nine months of 2011 Pan Orient has drilled 20 wells
        (14.0 net wells) with total capital expenditures in Thailand of
        $38.1 million. 
        --  Pan Orient has drilled five wells in Concession L53 (Pan Orient
            operator and 100% ownership) including three development wells,
            the L53-B appraisal well, and the appraisal to the L53-D well
            which was drilled in 2009. Capital costs of $13.8 million to
            September 30, 2011 include this five well drilling program plus
            capital costs associated with the L53-C exploration well which
            spudded on December 30, 2010. This five well drilling program
            has resulted in three producing sandstone oil wells and oil
            produced from the appraisal wells under their 90 day test
            periods. These wells added 395 BOPD of oil sales in the third
            quarter of 2011 and 322 BOPD in October. 
        --  Pan Orient has drilled four wells at the WBEXT field in
            Concession L44 (Pan Orient operator and 60% ownership) including
            one development well, one appraisal well, and two exploration
            wells. Capital costs to September 30, 2011 of $7.0 million
            include this four well program, the sidetrack to the WBEXT-1D
            well drilled in December 2010, plus capital costs of $1.4
            million associated wells spudded in December 2010 that continued
            drilling into 2011. This has resulted in the WBEXT-1E and WBEXT-
            1F wells producing from sandstone zones, the WBEXT-2B well
            producing from the WBV2 volcanic zone, and the WBEXT-1D
            sidetrack producing from the WBV1 Volcanic zone. Appraisal of
            the "E" sand reservoir in the main WBEXT fault compartment will
            be a near term focus of drilling activity in 2012 after
            Environmental Impact Approval is received for drilling
            locations. The WBEXT-1F exploration well resulted in the
            discovery of new "D" and "E" sandstone reservoir pools in the
            WBEXT-1F fault compartment for which there will be follow-up
            appraisal drilling in 2012. The WBEXT-2B appraisal well is
            producing from the WBEXT WBV2 volcanic zone. The three new wells
            plus the WBEXT-1D side track added 267 BOPD of oil sales in the
            third quarter of 2011 and 144 BOPD in October. 
        --  Another five exploration wells and two appraisal wells and two
            development wells were drilled in Concession L44 (Pan Orient
            operator and 60% ownership) at a cost of $9.5 million. The two
            development wells at POR-6B and NSE-F6 resulted in two producing
            oil wells (one from the "G" sandstone zone and one from the
            volcanic zone), and the two appraisal wells resulted in one new
            oil well producing from the "G" sandstone zone. The Company had
            limited success in the five exploration wells drilled at Si
            Thep, Na Sanun East (the NSE-E4 well) and three new exploration
            areas (L44-E, L44-F, and NSW-A) which did not add oil
            production. The three new wells (POR-6A, POR-6B and NSE-F6 added
            228 BOPD in October. 
        --  The NS-2A appraisal well was drilled in Concession SW1 at a
            capital cost of $0.5 million. This well is on production from
            the volcanic zone and added 66 BOPD of oil sales in the third
            quarter of 2011 and 61 BOPD in October. 
        --  Pan Orient drilled the L33-4 exploration well in Concession L33
            (Pan Orient operator and 60% ownership) and completed side track
            operations at the L33-2 well to evaluate the WBV1 volcanic
            reservoir at the L33-2 well with a capital cost of $3.0 million.
            These wells are shut-in.  



Thailand Operations Update

Recent flooding in Thailand related to the historically high annual monsoon
rains has had, and is expected to have, no impact on Thailand production and
drilling operations.


Thailand production was 2,000 BOPD in the third quarter of 2011 and is currently
approximately 1,960 BOPD with six new wells and one sidetrack well planned to be
completed prior to year-end 2011 on Concession L44 and Concession L53 in
addition to one new ICD technology recompletion on an existing well in L44
within the Bo Rang "B" volcanic reservoir. The vast majority of the production
declines since the last update are attributed to a single well (NSE-F6) which
declined from 600 BOPD net to 35 BOPD net in the intervening period.


Each of the remaining four development wells and 1 sidetrack well are estimated
to be capable of initial production rates in excess of 300 BOPD per well net to
Pan Orient. Year end production will be heavily influenced by: 1) the initial
production rates observed in these yet to be drilled wells, 2) the decline rates
these wells exhibit prior to year end, and 3) the results of the two well
exploration program on concession L53.


The initial results of an ICD controlled in flow technology pilot on the
BR-1RDST1 have been very encouraging with production at approximately 215
barrels of oil per day gross (129 BOPD net to Pan Orient) which is up 165
barrels of oil per day gross from the 50 barrels of oil per day gross production
rate prior to the ICD recompletion. Current plans are to run one additional ICD
recompletion prior to year end on an existing horizontal well within the Bo Rang
"B" field and evaluate the results prior to making a decision on the
redevelopment using ICD controlled in flow technology of the NSE Central, NSE
South, NSE-E1, Bo Rang "A" and Bo Rang "B" fields.


Environmental approval is anticipated for up to 15 wells in the WBEXT "E" and
"D" sandstone reservoir area at the end of December 2011, with an aggressive
sandstone development program to follow in January 2012 (assuming environmental
approval is granted at the upcoming December 30, 2011 meeting with the
Government of Thailand environmental regulator). At least three sandstone
exploration targets in close proximity to the WBEXT reservoir area are also
planned to be drilled in 2012 and these locations are covered by the
environmental approval referred to above.


The L53-D2 (L53-D East) and L53-G exploration wells at Concession L53 are
planned to commence drilling multiple stacked sandstone reservoir targets in
mid-December 2011. A 200 square kilometer 3D survey in Concession L53 is being
considered for the second quarter of 2012 targeting an area which has minimal
data coverage between Pan Orient's oil producing wells and a recent oil
discovery made by a competitor to the North, adjacent to the concession
boundary.


Thailand Drilling Update 

Concessions L44, L33 & SW1 (Pan Orient 60% working interest and Operator)

L33-2A Exploration Well

The L33-2A exploration well targeted the unproven WBV2 volcanic zone below the
proven oil producing WBV1 volcanic reservoir. Excellent fracturing was indicated
by the drilling mud losses observed while drilling; however, only water was
recovered on test.


BR-2ST3 Development Well

The BR-2ST3 deviated development well tested at an initial rate of approximately
306 BOPD net to Pan Orient and no water from the Bo Rang "A1" volcanic
reservoir. The current production rate is approximately 70 BOPD net to Pan
Orient with a stable water cut of approximately 30%.


BR-4ST1 Development Well

The BR-4ST1 development was targeting the Bo Rang "A1" reservoir at a location
approximately 850 meters east of BR-2ST3 development well. Just prior to
drilling the main target section the directional assembly ("MWD") was removed as
is common practice in order to reduce the risk of sticking the MWD in the hole
when massive drilling fluid losses are experienced in the target reservoir. A
subsequent deviation survey indicated that the well deviated coming out of the
casing shoe, just missing the top of the intended target. The well has been
suspended with plans to re-enter the hole and drill into the intended target
prior to year end. 


NSE-F7 Horizontal Development Well

The NSE-F7 well encountered extensive fracturing within the target volcanic
formation with over 2,000 barrels of fluid losses observed while drilling. The
well is currently on production at a stabilized rate of 442 barrels of oil per
day gross (264 BOPD net to Pan Orient) with a stabilized water cut of 40%. This
well is a likely candidate for future ICD recompletion. 


NSE-F5 Horizontal Development Well

The NSE-F5 horizontal well is currently setting casing just above target
approximately 1.4 kilometers east of the NSE-F7 well. 


Andora Energy Corporation Update 

Andora Energy Corporation, a private oil company in which Pan Orient has 53%
ownership, has an oil sands project in the Sawn Lake area of Northern Alberta
and initiated a process earlier this year to identity and consider strategic
alternatives. No binding proposals to purchase the Company or farm-in to the
asset have been received to date and the process continues.


In the first quarter of 2011 Andora acquired an additional 10% working interest
in the Sawn Lake Central and North Blocks with the issuance of 4,433,031
non-voting special warrants of Andora (with each special warrant entitling the
holder thereof to receive one common share of Andora upon the happening of a
liquidity event involving Andora). If a liquidity event is not completed by
November 25, 2011 the acquired interests will be re-conveyed back to the vendor
and the warrants will be cancelled.


Pan Orient is a Calgary, Alberta based oil and gas exploration and production
company with operations currently located onshore Thailand, Indonesia and in
Western Canada.

(1) Funds flow from operations ("funds flow" before changes in non-cash working
capital and reclamation costs) is used by management to analyze operating
performance and leverage. Funds flow as presented does not have any standardized
meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore it may not be comparable with the
calculation of similar measures of other entities. Funds flow is not intended to
represent operating cash flow or operating profits for the period nor should it
be viewed as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, net earnings
or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.


(2) Cost of capital expenditures, excluding any asset retirement obligation and
excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.


(3) Cost of acquisitions, including deemed value of equity issued in the
transaction.


(4) Cost of acquisitions, excluding deemed value of equity issued in the
transaction.


(5)  General & administrative expenses, excluding non-cash accretion on
decommissioning provision.
