EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
$\overline{1}$ Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at Advance Energy Limited, Suite 4, 16 Ord Street, West Perth WA, on Monday, 21 May 2007 at 10:00 AM (WST).
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information the Board of Directors believes is material to Shareholders in relation to the resolutions set out in the Notice. The Explanatory Memorandum explains the resolutions and identifies the Directors' decisions for putting them to Shareholders.
$\overline{2}$ Resolution 1 - Adoption of Remuneration Report
Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act. the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2006 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive directors.
The provisions of the Corporations Act provide that Resolution 1 need only be an advisory vote of Shareholders.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report, however, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when considering the remuneration policy.
The chairman of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
$\mathbf{3}$ Resolution 2 - Re-election of Mr Gordon Sklenka as a Director
The Constitution requires that one third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting and provides that a Director who retires is eligible for reelection
Pursuant to the Constitution, Mr Gordon Sklenka will retire by rotation and seek re-election.
A brief CV of Mr Gordon Sklenka is included in the Annual Report.
The Board believes that Mr Gordon Sklenka has performed the duties and responsibilities of a director diligently and professionally, in the best interests of all Shareholders
The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Gordon Sklenka.
4. Resolution 3 - Approval of Placement Facility
$4.1$ General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the Placement Facility whereby the Directors will issue and allot up to 20,000,000 Shares at a price which is not less than 80% of the average market price of the Shares (calculated per Share) on the 5 trading days on which sales were recorded prior to the issue of the Shares under the Placement Facility.
The Company has no current plans to utilise the Placement Facility. However, given the Company's current business strategy to aggressively pursue acquisitions with existing production by a combination of equity and debt where value can quickly be added to the project by enhancing production though stimulating existing wells, undertaking step out wells and bringing behind pipe reserves to production, the Company believes that the Placement Facility will give it the ability to quickly react to opportunities. The Placement Facility will also be used to expedite the development activities at the recently acquired Palo Pinto project.
