Forward Looking Statements and Cautionary Note

The data contained in this presentation that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements may relate to capital expenditures, drilling and exploitation activities, production efforts and sales volumes, proved, probable, and possible reserves, operating and administrative costs, future operating or financial results, cash flow and anticipated liquidity, business strategy, property acquisitions, and the availability of drilling rigs and other oil field equipment and services. These forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimated”, “projected”, “potential”, “anticipated”, “forecasted” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. These statements are based on our current plans and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties as further outlined in our most recent 10-K and 10-Q. Therefore, the actual results may differ materially from the expectations, estimates or assumptions expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors –The SEC has recently modified its rules regarding oil and gas reserve information that may be included in filings with the SEC. The newly applicable rules allow oil and gas companies to disclose not only proved reserves, but also probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions of such terms. We disclose proved, probable and possible reserves in our filings with the SEC. Our reserves as of June 30, 2010 were estimated by DeGolyer & MacNaughton, W.D Von Gonten & Co. (“Von Gonten”), and Lee Keeling and Associates, Inc. (“Keeling”), independent petroleum engineering firms. In this presentation, we make reference to probable reserves. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and are subject to greater uncertainties, and accordingly the likelihood of recovering those reserves is subject to substantially greater risk.

Why own EPM?

Proved reserves PV10 at current oil price >> current market valuation

Growing value in Delhi CO2 EOR project:

Currently producing with expected steadily increasing cash flows

PV10 grows 40+% over next 5 years without significant EPM capex

+ EPM expects ~$140+ MM of pretax cash flows over same 5 years

Long life oil reserves with premium pricing and upside potential

Proved reserves require no capital expenditures and incur limited

operating expenses (our “prepaid PUD annuity”)

EPM’s Delhi Assets

1313

We purchased Delhi Field in 2003 for $2.8 MM, expended $2.5 MM in field, later purchased royalty interests for $1.5 MM, then farmed out our working interest for $50 MM cash + commitment to install EOR project at operator’s sole cost with their proved CO2 reserves + reversionary interest.

We own royalty interests equal to ~7.4% of gross production

EPM receives 7.4% of gross revenues from day one EPM pays no capital expenditures and no operating costs Project is exempt from state severance tax for next 6-8 years, subject to oil price & rates Our 5 MMBO of 2P royalty reserves are 1/3rd of our total reserve volumes and ~1/2 of PV

We also own a separate reversionary ~24% working interest (~19% revenue interest)

EPM bears no capital expenditures until deemed payout Payout occurs when project generates net field cumulative cash flow of $200 million Net field cash flow = revenue – field operating expense (including CO2) After Payout, EPM will bear its pro rata share of capital expenditures & expenses and will own pro rata share of all field assets and reserves including injected CO2

Reversionary interests are in addition to above royalty interests

Wells typically produce at high initial rates with steep initial decline, then stabilize. About half of estimated reserves are produced in first two years.

Reserves estimated to be 27% oil, 32% gas liquids and 41% natural gas

Industry joint venture may be expanded by two more locations. First three JV wells combined initial test rate as good or better than expected.

100% WI (~80% NRI) in 10 producers; 20% WI-BPO & 38% WI-APO (16-30% NRI) in 3 completed JV wells with expected aggregate results

Our OK Gas Shales: Shallow Low Cost

EPM is targeting a development cost of $1 per MCFe or less

Shallow depth = small rig and light acid fracs = low day rates Haskell Woodford at 4,000-6,000’ depth – vertical wells targeting 500-1000 mmcf at

depth Numerous comparable wells in Haskell with ~1 bcf historical average recovery Dewatering process to liberate natural gas

EPM testing program underway

EPM first vertical test (re-entry) in Haskell briefly tested strong gas rate and pressure before shut-in for pipeline connection – first sales ~3/1/11.

EPM test in Wagoner western block tested 93 mcfd, eastern block test still dewatering, southern block marginal

Substantial additional acreage is typically obtainable through forced pooling – EPM has substantial footprint in 30 sections in Haskell County

Proprietary Artificial Lift Technology

Conventional artificial lift• Either fluid level eventually drops to a level where rod pump or gas lift are no longer effective, or

• Low level of fluid production in gas well builds and eventually shuts off gas production

• This can leave substantial volumes of oil and gas unrecovered.

Our technology • Mobilizes remaining fluid to the pump

• Cost $50K - $150K per application

• Successfully applied in 3 wells in Giddings Field

Original fluid level

Fluid level at conventional abandonment

ReservoirRemaining potential

Our Plan for 2011• Complete first joint venture to install (2 JVs negotiating)• Expand outside of Giddings Field

Page 21: Corporate Presentation March 2011 (NYSE Amex: EPM) © Evolution Petroleum Corporation 1.

A $4 million base case capital expenditure program to: Drill up to 5 horizontal wells in Giddings joint venture (3 completed to

date) Re-enter and frac Woodford Shale in two mid-depth vertical wells in

Haskell (1 to date) and continue Wagoner production testing

Commercialize artificial lift technology through one or more joint ventures through demonstrations on third party wells

Liquidity Plan: Use Giddings cash flow to cover overhead, and Delhi cash flow to drill Avoid high cost, high risk capital

Utilize joint ventures, project financing, noncore asset monetization and/or small, opportunistic equity placement to accelerate development as warranted

Maintain liquidity through FY2012 as Delhi cash flows increase
