Cautionary Statement Statements during this presentation may concern ERHC Energy Inc.s future operating milestones, future drilling operations, the planned exploration and appraisal program, future prospects, future investment opportunities and financing plans, future shareholders meetings, response to U.S. governmental authority and related proceedings, as well as other matters that are not historical facts or information.

These factors include, among others, those relating to the Companys ability to exploit its commercial interests in the JDZ and the exclusive territorial waters of S達o Tom辿 and Pr鱈ncipe, general economic and business conditions, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, competition, changes in foreign, political, social and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations and various other matters, many of which are beyond the Companys control. Given these concerns, investors and analysts should not place undue reliance on these statements. Each of the above statements speaks only as of the date of hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Companys expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any of the above statements is based.
