AURORA OIL & GAS CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”)
EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT
DATED AS OF JULY 31, 2009

1.  
This Monthly Operating Report (“MOR”) has been signed by the Company’s Chief Restructuring Officer, Sanford R. Edlein.  The MOR was prepared by the Company’s staff with management oversight.  Mr. Edlein does not have personal knowledge of every item identified in the MOR and has relied upon the work of Company management.  In reviewing and signing the MOR, Mr. Edlein has relied upon the accuracy and integrity of the Company’s books and records, and it is possible that further review thereof may require amendment of the MOR.

2.  
This MOR is preliminary and unaudited and reflects results for the twelve days ended July 12, 2009 (pre-petition), nineteen days ended July 31, 2009 (post-petition), one and seven months ended July 31, 2009 and balances as of July 12, 2009 (filing date) and July 31, 2009.  This MOR should be read together and concurrently with the Company’s first quarter 2009 Form 10-Q that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 8, 2009 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009 for a comprehensive description of our current financial condition and operating results. This MOR should also be read together and concurrently with Forms 8-K filed with the SEC during 2009.  This MOR is being provided to the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Trustee.

3.  
This MOR is unaudited and will not be subject to audit or review by our external auditors on a stand-alone basis at any time in the future.  This MOR includes the results of the ceiling test write-down during first quarter 2009 and the reclassification of mortgage payable to current as a result of a default that occurred due to the Company’s chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.  Results for this period as presented in the MOR are not necessarily indicative of the actual results for the period if all such matters were allocated to all periods in the quarter or year.  Accordingly, each period reported in the MOR should not be viewed on a stand-alone basis, but rather in the context of previously reported financial results, including the Company’s SEC filings.

4.  
This MOR is presented in a format providing information required under local rules and incorporating measurements used for internal operating purposes, rather than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. This MOR does not include certain financial statements and explanatory footnotes, including disclosures required under GAAP.
 

5.  
This MOR is presented on a stand alone basis for the Company and does not include any subsidiary activity.  Therefore, intercompany balances have not been eliminated.

The Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:
 
Aurora Operating, LLC ("AOP") is a limited liability company engaged primarily in oil and gas operations and development.  AOP holds certain oil and gas properties in the New Albany Shale project.  The Company owns 71% of AOP.
 
Indiana Royalty Trustory, LLC ("IRT") is a limited liability company engaged primarily in investments in royalties and other financial instruments.  The Company holds a 51% interest in IRT.
 
Hudson Pipeline & Processing Co., LLC ("HPPC") is a limited liability company that owns and operates various pipelines and processing facilities located in Hudson Township area of the Michigan Antrim play.  The Company holds a 96.1% interest in HPPC.
 
Celebration Mining ("CMC") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that owns a 25% interest in a silver mine located in Utah.  No production has occurred from the mine since the 1930’s.  Activity in CMC primarily relates to general and administrative expenses associated with the marketability of the company for sale and compliance with various legal requirements.
 
Bach Services & Manufacturing Co., LLC ("BSM") was sold on June 10, 2009.  BSM was a limited liability company which provided oil and gas field services and construction services related to building pipelines, compressor packages, and processing facilities to various oil and gas companies principally in the Michigan Antrim play.  The Company owned 100% of BSM.
