This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No. 2") is being filed with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Evolution Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Evolution"), to amend the Schedule 13D filed on November 3, 2008 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on July 14, 2009 ("Amendment No. 1", and collectively with the Original Schedule 13D, the "Schedule 13D"), and is being filed on behalf of Mr. John V. Lovoi, Belridge Energy Advisors, LP, JVL Global Energy (QP), LP, Navitas Fund LP, Navitas Fund (QP), L.P. and Luxiver, LP (collectively, the "Reporting Persons" and each a "Reporting Person"). This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to add Luxiver, LP to the Schedule 13D, to remove JVL Global Energy, LP ("JVL Global") from the Schedule 13D and to update the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons hereto. The Schedule 13D previously reported that JVL Global held 782,960 shares of Common Stock. Effective as of December 31, 2010, JVL Global was merged with and into Navitas Fund LP, and therefore the shares previously held by JVL Global are now held by Navitas Fund LP. As a result, the number of shares of Common Stock held by Navitas Fund LP have been revised upward by 782,960 shares to reflect this merger and the transfer of assets. Additionally, this Amendment No. 2 also reflects transactions effected by the Reporting Persons hereto in Evolution's Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 1.

Except as provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
