OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE
About Falcon
The Company is an international energy company engaged in the exploration of oil and natural gas, with
offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, Denver, Colorado and Budapest, Hungary. The Company’s
registered office is located at 810-675 Hastings Street West, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6B
1N2 and the Company’s head office is located at 1875 Lawrence Street, Suite 1400, Denver, Colorado,
U.S.A. 80202.
The Company’s primary focus is the identification, exploration and development of conventional and
unconventional oil and gas projects in Central Europe, specifically Hungary and Romania. The
geographical focus has been broadened to the United States with the Buckskin Mesa Project (as defined

below) acquisition, and to Australia with the Beetaloo Basin (as defined below) acquisition, as discussed
below.
Hungary
The Company has achieved three critical milestones during 2008, and through the date hereof as follows:
· Through the Company’s efforts to find a strategic partner (announced in June, 2007), on April 10,
2008 the Company and TXM entered into a Production and Development Agreement (“PDA”)
with ExxonMobil Corporation affiliate Esso Exploration International Limited (“ExxonMobil”).
· Completion of an update to the previously filed (www.sedar.com) August 2006 resource
evaluation of the Makó Trough prepared for Falcon by The Scotia Group, Inc. with an effective
date of August 15, 2006 (the “Scotia Report”).
· The repair on the Makó 6 well.
Strategic Partnership with ExxonMobil Corporation
On April 10, 2008, the Company and TXM entered into the PDA with ExxonMobil pursuant to which the
Company and ExxonMobil are now joint owners in a specified portion (the “Contract Area”) of the long
term production license granted to the Company on May 21, 2007 (the “Production License”) from the
Hungarian Mining Authority. ExxonMobil operates the Contract Area.
After the parties entered into the PDA and in accordance with its rights under the PDA, ExxonMobil
assigned half its interest to MOL, a publicly traded Hungarian oil and gas company.
The Contract Area consists of approximately 184,300 acres, or 75% of the Company’s 246,000-acre
Production License. The Contract Area is now owned jointly, with the Company owning a 33% undivided
working interest and ExxonMobil and MOL each owning a 33.5% undivided working interest.
The PDA provides for an initial consideration of $25 million, which has been paid to the Company, and
for ExxonMobil/MOL to spend $50 million to conduct an initial work program to test one or more of the
Company’s existing well bores or drill one or more new wells for such tests (the “Initial Work
Program”). After the Initial Work Program is completed (about one year after commencement), Falcon
and ExxonMobil will evaluate the results over a period which could last up to four months, at which time
ExxonMobil has the right to proceed to the next phase (the “Appraisal Work Program”). If
ExxonMobil does elect to proceed forward, ExxonMobil and MOL will pay the Company an additional
$50 million and will be required to expend $100 million on the Appraisal Work Program. If ExxonMobil
elects not to proceed beyond the Initial Work Program, it will relinquish and reassign to the Company all
of ExxonMobil’s interest in the Contract Area.
After the Appraisal Work Program is completed, ExxonMobil has another election point – that is, to elect
to proceed to full-scale development of the Contract Area (the “Development Program”). If it elects to
proceed forward, ExxonMobil and MOL will pay the Company an additional $75 million. If it elects not
to proceed to the Development Program, it will reassign its interest to the Company, subject to the terms
of the PDA. If ExxonMobil elects not to proceed to either the Appraisal Work Program or the
Development Program, Falcon would resume operatorship of the Contract Area. MOL has the right to
retain and pay for its 33.5% working interest share, including MOL’s 50% share of the above-described
payments to Falcon and work commitments, regardless of ExxonMobil’s elections.

The Company will incur no development costs within the Contract Area during the Initial Work Program
or the Appraisal Work Program up to the amount stipulated in the PDA. Beginning with the Development
Program, the Company, ExxonMobil, and MOL would each receive revenues and be responsible for its
proportionate share of expenses within the Contract Area (that is, 33% Falcon, 33.5% ExxonMobil and
33.5% MOL), under the joint operating agreement (“JOA”) which the parties entered into at the time of
signing the PDA. The JOA will govern all operations during the Development Program, with
ExxonMobil continuing as operator, but with all three parties participating in the formulation of the
drilling and development plan and participating in the decision-making process. In addition to the
Company’s 33% undivided ownership in the ExxonMobil-operated Contract Area, the Company will
remain sole owner and operator of 391,445 acres outside the Contract Area boundaries, as well as shallow
rights covering 184,336 acres within the Contract Area, as follows:
· Falcon Lands: The Company retains 100% ownership in the remaining 25% (61,445 acres)
of the Production License that is not part of the Contract Area.
· Exploration Licenses: The Company retains 100% ownership in 330,000 acres which are
outside the boundaries of the Production License, under the original Makó exploration license
(the “Makó License”) and original Tisza exploration license (the “Tisza License” and
together with the Makó License, the “Exploration Licenses”). The Company also retains
100% ownership in the portions of the Exploration Licenses which are above 2,800 meters
within the boundaries of the Production License. The 330,000-acre area outside the
Production License and the shallower depths are not part of the Production License.

Scotia Resource Evaluation Update
In May 2008, Falcon received a new, updated, independent report from RPS Scotia disclosing an updated
resource estimate of the Makó Trough Pannonian Basin Gas Accumulation (the “Makó Trough”) within
the Production License (the “RPS Scotia Report”). The RPS Scotia Report has an effective date of
March 31, 2008, and is an update to the Scotia Report. RPS Scotia is the parent company of the Scotia
Group.
The RPS Scotia Report is compliant with National Instrument 51-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Oil
and Gas Activities”.

The RPS Scotia Report provides a probabilistic distribution of the potentially recoverable portion of
“Contingent Resources” as defined by the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and does not
represent an estimate of reserves.
Based on all available data, RPS Scotia has assigned the following probabilistic estimation of potentially
recoverable contingent resources to the Falcon’s interests in the Szolnok formation, the Lower Endrod,
the Basal Conglomerate and the Synrift Sequence. The RPS Scotia Report measures the Makó Trough in
trillions of cubic feet (“Tcf”) and millions of barrel oil (“mmbo”):
Probability Greater Than
P90 (90%) P50 (50%) P10 (10%)
Probabilistic estimation of
potentially recoverable
contingent resources (1) (2)
25.8 Tcf
42.6 mmbo
43.9 Tcf
97.8 mmbo
68.0 Tcf
202.7 mmbo
Notes:
(1) The resource estimate has been conducted using the definitions specified by the Canadian Oil and
Gas Evaluation Handbook. The Makó Trough resource falls under the “Discovered Resources”
classification. The values refer to the probabilistically estimated recoverable fraction of
“Contingent Resources” within that classification. Contingent resources are those quantities of
oil and gas estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations but
are not currently economic. The economic nature of this resource has not yet been assessed due
to the early stage of data gathering for the Makó Trough resource. The recoverable portion of this
“Contingent Resource” is contingent upon the demonstration of productive capability of the
various zones of interest through well testing and longer term production testing which has not
occurred as of the effective date of the report.
(2) Estimates are as of March 31, 2008, the effective date of the RPS Scotia Report.
A copy of the RPS Scotia Report is available at www.falconoilandgas.com.
Repair to Makó 6
In June 2008, the Makó 6 well intervention and repair was completed. The 3 ½ inch tubing was removed
down to 2250 meters. The well was then cemented down to about 2818 meters and a drillable plug was
set above the cement in the 5 ½ inch casing.
Operational Highlights for 2008
Operational activity for 2008 has been limited to well site and well bore maintenance, and well
intervention and repair of the Makó 6 well.
Evaluation Period
In 2008, Falcon substantially completed the work and studies undertaken in 2007 to evaluate the
subsurface information, both geological and operational. This data has been shared with the ExxonMobil
and MOL and is also of value to Falcon in the Falcon Lands portion of the Production License.
ExxonMobil will continue to perform its own evaluation of the subsurface and operational data as part of
the Initial Work Program.

Operations
All future activity on wells within the Contract Area are subject to ExxonMobil’s due diligence
evaluation.
Romania
On June 1 2005, the Company entered into a farmout agreement (the “Farmout Agreement”) with
Pannonian International, Ltd. (“Pannonian”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Galaxy Energy Corporation
(“Galaxy”), under which the Company agreed to pay 100% of the costs to drill two coalbed methane
wells to earn a 75% undivided working interest in Pannonian’s Jiu Valley Concession located in
southwestern Romania, approximately 300 kilometers west of Bucharest. Through its wholly owned
Romanian subsidiary, JVX, the Lupeni Sud-1 well was drilled. As of December 31, 2007, the Lupeni
Sud-1 well was plugged and abandoned and 100% of the costs incurred were charged to operations. The
Company has applied to have the Jiu Valley concession returned to the Romanian government. In
February 2008, the Company was notified that it has been contingently awarded a new concession, the
“Anina Concession”. The award is subject to negotiation and finalization of a concession agreement for
the acreage. There is a minimal work program required under the Anina Concession, and the Company
will have the option to withdraw at the end of each contract year.
Canada
Falcon owns non-operating working interests in four producing natural gas wells in Alberta, Canada
which do not comprise a material portion of Falcon’s assets (the “Hackett Interest”). The Company does
not anticipate any further exploration or development of the Hackett Interests.
Acquisitions
Australia
On September 30, 2008, the Company closed its purchase of an undivided 50% working interest in an
aggregate 7,000,000 acre prospect in the Northern Territory, Australia (the “Beetaloo Basin”) from a
related party, PetroHunter Energy Corporation (“PetroHunter”).
The purchase price was $25,000,000, $5,000,000 of which was paid in cash as earnest money on August
25, 2008, and $20,000,000 of which paid on September 30, 2008 in equity securities convertible into
shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Special Warrants”) based on the closing price of the Company’s
shares on August 22, 2008. In the event that the closing share price on the date that a receipt is issued for
the final prospectus to qualify the distribution of the common shares underlying the convertible equity
securities (the “Receipt Date”) is below the closing share price on August 22, 2008, the convertible
equity securities have an adjustment mechanism which provides PetroHunter with price protection of up
to 20%. In addition, the agreements provide for additional price protection, to a maximum of $3,500,000,
if the share price on the Receipt Date is below 70% of the closing price on August 22, 2008.
PetroHunter serves as Operator of the Beetaloo Basin, although the joint operating agreement provides for
a joint operating committee and for substantial direct involvement by the Company’s managerial,
technical and financial personnel. The Company and PetroHunter are subject to certain drilling
commitments on the four exploration permits comprising the 7,000,000 acres. The commitments require
the drilling of seven wells during 2009, five wells during 2010 and three wells during 2011. In addition,
the parties must complete seismic evaluations on certain permits. The cost of all such work is borne
equally by the Company and PetroHunter.

United States
On August 25, 2008, the Company entered into a binding agreement with PetroHunter to acquire a 25%
working interest in five wells (“Five Wells”) located within PetroHunter’s 20,000-acre Buckskin Mesa
project (“Buckskin Mesa Project”) located in the Piceance Basin, Colorado, and to undertake a
completion and testing program in respect of the Five Wells. The Company closed this acquisition on
October 31, 2008.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay 100% of the first $7,000,000 expended on
completion and testing work in connection with the Five Wells. After completion and testing work has
been performed, the Company has up to 60 days to review and analyze the results, at which time it will
either retain its 25% interest in the Five Wells and acquire no greater interest, or exercise an option (the
“Buckskin Mesa Option”) to acquire an additional 25% working interest in the Five Wells (for a total of
50%) and a 50% working interest in the remainder of the 20,000-acre Buckskin Mesa Project. If
exercised, the Buckskin Mesa Option requires the Company to pay an aggregate $18,000,000 in spending
commitments on behalf of both the Company and PetroHunter, subject to adjustments, pursuant to a
drilling and development program that will be mutually agreed to by the Company and PetroHunter, and
$25,000,000, payable at the Company’s option in cash, equity securities convertible into shares, or a
combination thereof. If the Company elects to issue equity securities convertible into shares, they will be
required to, among other things, obtain the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). In
addition, the Company will have an option to become the operator of the Buckskin Mesa Project. If it
elects to become the operator, the Company must pay an additional $3,500,000 in cash, equity securities
convertible into shares, or a combination thereof.
Additionally, one of the underlying agreements by which PetroHunter originally acquired its interest in
the Buckskin Mesa Project requires the payment of $1,500,000 to an unrelated third party on January 9,
2009, and further requires that:
(i) at least four wells be commenced by July 31, 2009;
(ii) at least five additional wells be commenced by December 31, 2009; and
(iii) at least eleven additional wells be commenced by December 31, 2010.
In lieu of drilling the above referenced wells, the requirement may be satisfied by the payment of
$500,000 per well not commenced. If the foregoing requirements are not satisfied, the Company and
PetroHunter will be required to assign to the Third Party their entire leasehold interest in the Buckskin
Mesa Project, other than the Five Wells and the 40 acres surrounding such wells.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30,
2007
This review of the results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and
the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Petroleum Revenue
The Company recorded revenue from petroleum and natural gas sales of $22,000 in 2008, as compared to
$26,000 in 2007, of which nil and $10,000 respectively, were from the initial test production of the
Magyarcsanad-1 well in Hungary. The remainder of the revenue was derived from the Company’s

Canadian properties. The Company has not yet realized revenue from its planned operations, and has
incurred significant expenditures in connection with its exploration for petroleum and natural gas.
Costs and expenses
General and administrative costs were $4,559,000 in 2008 as compared to $4,959,000 in 2007, a decrease
of $400,000. The overall decrease to general and administrative costs was due to a decrease in 2008 due
to the Company’s reduction and curtailment of its operations that commenced in the fourth quarter of
2007 as it changed its focus in Hungary from initial resource delineation phase to a resource evaluation
phase. The significant components of changes in general and administrative expenses in 2008, as
compared to 2007, were as follows:
· Accounting increased $94,000 to $217,000 in 2008 from $123,000 in 2007 primarily as a result of
additional costs associated with the ExxonMobil joint venture in Hungary.
· Depreciation and amortization increased $46,000 to $119,000 in 2008 from $73,000 in 2007. The
increase was primarily a result of the acquisition of office furniture and computer equipment in
Budapest commencing with the relocation of the Budapest office in July 2007.
· Consulting decreased $158,000 to $489,000 in 2008 from $647,000 in 2007. The decrease
resulted from the completion and termination of consulting agreements for gas marketing,
financial and business advisory services, and technical services from 2007 to 2008.
· Investor relations decreased $407,000 to $155,000 in 2008 from $562,000 in 2007. The decrease
was attributable to the cost containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter of 2007,
including the reduction in the use of outside public relations firms.
· Legal costs decreased $121,000 to $280,000 in 2008 from $401,000 in 2007 for services from
outside legal firms in Hungary and North America. The decrease was attributable to the cost
containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter of 2007, and reduction in activities as
the Company changed its focus in Hungary from an initial resource delineation phase to a
resource evaluation phase.
· Office and administrative increased $95,000 to $554,000 in 2008 from $459,000 in 2007. The
increase was primarily as a result of additional office rent and associated costs in Denver that
were previously absorbed by PetroHunter in connection with the office sharing arrangement.
· Payroll and related costs decreased $272,000 to $747,000 in 2008 from $1,019,000 in 2007. The
decrease was attributable to the cost containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter of
2007, and reduction in activities as the Company changed its focus in Hungary from an initial
resource delineation phase to a resource evaluation phase.
· Stock based compensation, calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, increased
$495,000 to $1,370,000 in 2008 from $875,000 in 2007primarily as a result of option grants
during 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company granted officers, directors,
employees and consultants of the Company options to purchase 13,610,000 common shares at an
exercise prices ranging from $0.98 (CDN$1.00) to $1.10 (CDN$1.09). The options vest 20% at
the date of grant, and 20% annually thereafter, and expire in May 2013.
· Travel and promotion decreased $200,000 to $561,000 in 2008 from $761,000 in 2007. The
decrease is attributable to the cost containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter of

2007, and reduction in activities as the Company changed its focus in Hungary from an initial
resource delineation phase to a resource evaluation phase.
Other (income) expense
· The Company realized interest income of $367,000 in 2008 as compared to $324,000 in 2007.
The increase of $43,000 was attributable to the additional cash available for investment during
the third quarter of 2008. The source of the additional cash was the net proceeds received from
the ExxonMobil joint venture.
· Abandonment and impairment of petroleum and natural gas properties decreased $165,000 to nil
in 2008 from $165,000 in 2007. During 2007, the Company impaired the carrying value of its
Romanian properties. There were no impairments during 2008.
· The Company had a loss on foreign exchange of $1,832,000 in 2008 as compared to a gain of
$258,000 in 2007. The loss and gain on foreign exchange were primarily attributable to foreign
exchange rate movements on Canadian denominated cash accounts. The Canadian dollar
strengthened relative to the US dollar throughout 2007, and remained relatively static until mid-
2008; thereafter, the US dollar strengthened relative to the Canadian dollar. The Hungarian forint
strengthened relative to the US dollar throughout 2007 and until mid-2008; thereafter, the US
dollar strengthened relative to the Hungarian forint. Substantially all of the Company’s
financings have been in Canadian dollars; commensurate with the strengthening of the US dollar,
at September 30, 2008, the Company has changed the composition of its cash balances to
approximately two-thirds US dollars and one-third Canadian dollars; a significant portion of the
Company’s operations are in Hungarian forints.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2008 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Petroleum Revenue
The Company recorded revenue from petroleum and natural gas sales of $66,000 in 2008 as compared to
$162,000 in 2007, of which nil and $109,000, respectively, were from the initial test production of the
Magyarcsanad-1 well in Hungary. The remainder of the revenue was derived from the Company’s
Canadian properties. The Company has not yet realized revenue from its planned operations, and has
incurred significant expenditures in connection with its exploration for petroleum and natural gas.
Costs and expenses
General and administrative costs were $15,836,000 in 2008 as compared to $14,121,000 in 2007, an
increase of $1,715,000. The overall increase to general and administrative costs was primarily the result
of an increase to stock based compensation of $3,975,000, offset by a decrease resulting from the
Company’s reduction and curtailment of its operations that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2007 as it
changed its focus in Hungary from initial resource delineation phase to a resource evaluation phase. The
significant components of changes in general and administrative expenses in 2008 as compared to 2007
were as follows:
· Accounting increased $175,000 to $622,000 in 2008 from $447,000 in 2007 primarily as a result
of additional costs associated with the ExxonMobil joint venture in Hungary.

· Depreciation and amortization increased $135,000 to $334,000 in 2008 from $199,000 in 2007
primarily as a result of the acquisition of office furniture and computer equipment in Budapest
commencing with the relocation of the Budapest office in July 2007.
· Consulting decreased $615,000 to $1,258,000 in 2008 from $1,873,000 in 2007. The decrease
resulted from the completion and termination of consulting agreements for gas marketing,
financial and business advisory services, and technical services from 2007 to 2008.
· Investor relations decreased $395,000 to $496,000 in 2008 from $891,000 in 2007. The decrease
was attributable to the cost containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter of 2007,
including the reduction in the use of outside public relations firms.
· Legal costs decreased $629,000 to $988,000 in 2008 from $1,617,000 in 2007 for services from
outside legal firms in Hungary and North America. The decrease was attributable to the cost
containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter of 2007, and reduction in activities as
the Company changed its focus in Hungary from an initial resource delineation phase to a
resource evaluation phase.
· Payroll and related costs decreased $670,000 to $2,141,000 in 2008 from $2,811,000 in 2007.
The decrease was attributable to the cost containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter
of 2007, and reduction in activities as the Company changed its focus in Hungary from an initial
resource delineation phase to a resource evaluation phase.
· Stock based compensation, calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, increased
$3,975,000 to $6,483,000 in 2008 from $2,508,000 in 2007 increased primarily as a result of
option grants during 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company granted officers,
directors, employees and consultants of the Company options to purchase 13,610,000 common
shares at an exercise prices ranging from $0.98 (CDN$1.00) to $1.10 (CDN$1.09). The options
vest 20% at the date of grant, and 20% annually thereafter, and expire in May 2013.
· Travel and promotion decreased $517,000 to $1,565,000 in 2008 from $2,082,000 in 2007. The
decrease was attributable to the cost containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter of
2007, and reduction in activities as the Company changed its focus in Hungary from an initial
resource delineation phase to a resource evaluation phase.

· The Company realized interest income of $1,219,000 in 2008 as compared to $2,180,000 in 2007.
The decrease of $961,000 was attributable to the reduction in cash available for investment
during 2008. In 2007, the Company had available for investment the proceeds from its 2006
common share offerings, a portion of which were utilized in operations during 2007.
· Abandonment and impairment of petroleum and natural gas properties decreased $783,000 to nil
in 2008 from $783,000 in 2007. During 2007, the Company impaired the carrying value of its
Romanian properties. There were no impairments during 2008.
· The Company had a loss on foreign exchange of $3,112,000 in 2008 as compared a gain of
$5,468,000 in 2007. The gain and loss on foreign exchange were primarily attributable to foreign
exchange rate movements on Canadian denominated cash accounts. The Canadian dollar
strengthened relative to the US dollar throughout 2007, and remained relatively static until mid-
2008; thereafter, the US dollar strengthened relative to the Canadian dollar. The Hungarian forint

strengthened relative to the US dollar throughout 2007 and until mid-2008; thereafter, the US
dollar strengthened relative to the Hungarian forint. Substantially all of the Company’s
financings have been in Canadian dollars; commensurate with the strengthening of the US dollar,
at September 30, 2008, the Company has changed the composition of its cash balances to
approximately two-thirds US dollars and one-third Canadian dollars; a significant portion of the
Company’s operations are in Hungarian forints.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Prior Offerings
In December 2007, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of 100,000,000 common shares at a
price of $0.39 (CDN$0.40) per common share pursuant to a short form prospectus (the “December
Offering”). Gross proceeds from the December Offering were $39,304,314 (CDN$40,000,000). The
underwriters received a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds $2,358,240 (CDN$2,400,000) and
warrants (collectively, the “December Underwriters’ Warrants”) to purchase 6% of the number of
common shares sold under the December Offering, at an exercise price of $0.39 (CDN$0.40) per share,
for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of the December Offering.
As was indicated in the prospectus filed in connection with the December Offering dated December 10,
2007, the proceeds of the December Offering were to be used by the Company for the exploration and
development of the Company’s projects in Hungary, including the completion of three existing well
bores, and for general corporate and working capital purposes, subject to the ability of the Company to
reallocate the proceeds of the December Offering for sound business reasons. In light of the ExxonMobil
transaction, the board of directors of the Company has assessed the overall business strategy of the
Company and determined that a reallocation of the remaining proceeds of the December Offering be
made to the Beetaloo Basin and Buckskin Mesa Project acquisitions.
Working Capital
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2008 were $45,171,000, a decrease of $10,821,000 from
$55,992,000 at December 31, 2007. Working capital at September 30, 2008 decreased to $55,312,000
from $56,746,000 at December 31, 2007.
The decrease to cash and cash equivalents of $10,821,000 was attributable to cash used in operating
activities and investing activities, and the effect of exchange rates on cash, of $6,018,000, $2,360,000 and
$3,118,000, respectively, offset by cash provided by financing activities of $675,000. In April 2008, the
Company received $25,000,000 from ExxonMobil as the initial consideration under the PDA. At
September 30, 2008, costs associated with the transaction were $3,550,000, resulting in net cash received
of $21,450,000. Capital expenditures, including payment of prior year’s accounts payable incurred for
petroleum and natural gas properties, and including costs associated with the acquisition of the working
interests in Beetaloo Basin and Buckskin Mesa Project, aggregated $24,208,000. Cash provided by
financing activities of $675,000 resulted solely from the exercise of warrants to acquire shares of the
Company’s common stock. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2007 was $320,000
held as collateral for letters of credit issued by the Company, which were released in 2008.
Amounts Receivable and Prepaids
Amounts receivable at September 30, 2008 includes $5,000,000 due from ExxonMobil for well
intervention and repair on the Makó6 well, $711,000 and $193,000 receivable from the Hungarian and
Canadian governments as refunds of VAT and GST, respectively; prepaids include $693,000 for advance
payments to Hungarian suppliers.
Accounts Payables and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses at September 30, 2008 were $4,208,000, which includes
$2,137,000 for capital expenditures related to the Company’s Hungarian operations, as compared to
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $14,649,000 at December 31, 2007, which includes

$12,517,000 for capital expenditures related to the Company’s Hungarian operations. The reduction is
due to the decrease in operations in Hungary commencing in the fourth quarter of 2007, as the Company
changed its focus from initial resource delineation phase to a resource evaluation phase.
Capital Expenditures
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred $32,005,000 for additions to its
petroleum and natural gas properties, of which $25,279,000 and $239,000 were for the acquisition of the
Beetaloo Basin and the Buckskin Mesa Project, respectively; and made cash payments on all petroleum
and natural gas properties of $23,385,000 of which $12,517,000 represents amounts incurred and accrued
at December 31, 2007. Included in capital expenditures for Beetaloo Basin are Special Warrants valued at
$20,000,000. During the comparable 2007 period, the Company incurred $111,725,000, substantially all
of which was for its properties in Hungary.
The significant costs for 2008 in Hungary were for repair work on the Makó 6 well in excess of amounts
reimbursed by ExxonMobil, specialized processing and evaluation of the seismic and well data previously
acquired in 2007 and well maintenance for the six existing well bores. The primary capital expenditures
for 2007 were the location construction of the Foldeak well, the drilling of the Makó 4 well and the
Magyarcsanad - 1 well, complete logging of the Makó 7 well, completion of Makó 6 well stimulations
(fracturing) in the Synrift and lower Basil Conglomerate, completion of initial flow tests of the Szekkutas
- 1 well, and completion of the Szekkutas well seismic survey.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company's total cumulative expenditures for exploration under the
Licenses, including the acquisition cost of the Licenses, seismic testing, drilling of exploratory wells, and
initial testing and completion of wells was approximately $236,104,000, including an asset retirement
obligation of approximately $4,923,000, for the six wells drilled.
At December 31, 2007, a portion of the Company’s inventory aggregating $14,375,000 was reclassified
from petroleum and natural gas properties to inventory available for sale, and carried at the lower of cost
or net realizable value as a current asset of $10,782,000. At September 30, 2008, the estimated net
realizable value of the inventory available for sale was $6,966,000; the reduction of $3,816,000 was
attributable to inventory sold during the second and third quarters of 2008.
Furniture and equipment at September 30, 2008 was $3,072,000 as compared to $2,381,000 at December
31, 2007. Included in the increase of $691,000 is $246,000 of furniture and office equipment in the
Denver office acquired at the termination of the office sharing agreement with PetroHunter (see
“Transactions with Related Parties”).
The Company’s activity in Hungary for 2008 has been focused on resource evaluation. With the
completion of the strategic partnership initiative and ExxonMobil becoming operator of the Contract
Area, the Company will be re-evaluating its operation plans and evaluation studies. ExxonMobil is
evaluating the existing wellbores and determining its recommendations for the Initial Work Program.
The Company’s activity in the United States for 2008 will be focused on the testing and completion of the
Five Wells. The Company’s activity in Australia for 2008 will be focused on administrative matters prior
to exploration activities that the Company believes should commence in 2009.
The Company’s future capital requirements will be dependent upon, among other things, the evaluation of
the Hungarian properties and the future testing and completion plan developed by the Company,
ExxonMobil and MOL. The Company will continue to evaluate the potential for further activity in the
Makó Trough in both the Falcon Lands and its exploration opportunities outside of the Production
License. The Company’s requirements for additional capital are dependent upon its future operating
plans, including the results of ExxonMobil’s evaluation of the Contract Area.

The Company’s future capital requirements will also be dependent upon the evaluation of the Beetaloo
Basin and the Buckskin Mesa Project described above.
The availability of debt and equity capital, and the price, at which additional capital could be issued, will
be dependent upon the success of the Company’s exploration activities, and upon the state of the capital
markets.
Transactions with Related Parties
The Company has entered into certain agreements and transactions with PetroHunter, a related entity,
whose largest single shareholder is also the President and CEO of the Company. As discussed above, the
Company has entered into agreements with PetroHunter to acquire working interests in the Beetaloo
Basin located in the Northern Territory, Australia, and the Buckskin Mesa Project, located in the Piceance
Basin, Colorado.
In June 2006, the Company entered into an Office Sharing Agreement with PetroHunter for office space
in Denver, Colorado, of which the Company is the lessee. Under the terms of the agreement, PetroHunter
and the Company shared, on an equivalent employee basis, all costs related to the office space, including
rent, office operating costs, furniture and equipment and any other expenses related to the operations of
the corporate offices. Certain employees of PetroHunter had provided services to the Company, and in
2007 PetroHunter invoiced the Company $176,000 (2008- nil) for these services at cost. The largest
single shareholder of PetroHunter is also the President and CEO of the Company. The above described
office sharing arrangement was mutually terminated effective February 1, 2008. As at September 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, PetroHunter owed the Company nil and $678,000, respectively, for its
share of net costs incurred under this arrangement.
During 2008, the Company incurred $135,000 (2007-$135,000) to a current director of the Company, Dr.
György Szabó, for advisory and consulting services rendered to TXM; and $175,000 (2007-nil) in
consulting fees to a current director of the Company, Daryl Gilbert, for advisory and consulting services
rendered to Falcon. David Brody, the Company’s Corporate Secretary and General Counsel, was and is a
partner of Patton Boggs LLP, a US law firm that provides US legal advice to the Company. The
Company has not recorded any amounts paid to Patton Boggs LLP as transactions with a related party
because, since Mr. Brody’s appointment as Corporate Secretary and General Counsel of Falcon, Mr.
Brody has not received any remuneration from Patton Boggs LLP.
On October 1, 2008, the Company agreed to lend PetroHunter $5,000,000. Under the terms of the Loan
Agreement, funds were advanced by the Company directly to certain creditors and vendors of
PetroHunter who assigned leases in, provided goods to, or rendered services for the Beetaloo Basin and
Buckskin Mesa Project. The loan bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and interest-only payments
are due monthly. The maturity date is the earlier of: (i) 45 days after the Receipt Date (ii) 120 days from
the date of the loan or (iii) an event of default. Collateral underlying the loan includes: (i) a first
mortgage in the Five Wells and (ii) certain pledged common shares as follows: of the $20,000,000 of the
Company’s securities to be issued to PetroHunter, (a) $7,500,000 is to be pledged and held in a brokerage
account designated by the Company, (b) $6,000,000 is to be available for PetroHunter to pledge as
collateral for a loan with a third party and, of the proceeds received by PetroHunter, 50% must be paid to
the Company to extinguish the then outstanding loan balance, and (c) all remaining common shares may
be sold by PetroHunter and, of the proceeds received by PetroHunter, 50% must be paid to the Company
to extinguish the then outstanding loan balance. To avoid an event of default, PetroHunter must comply
with certain other covenants as stipulated in the Loan Agreement.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or proposed transactions, other than
operating leases.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The critical accounting policies adopted by the Company have not changed from those described in the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2007.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments-Disclosures and Presentation
The Company adopted three new presentation and disclosure standards that were issued by the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants: Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures (“Section 1535”),
Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments-Disclosures (“Section 3862”) and Handbook Section
3863, Financial Instruments-Presentation (“Section 3863”).
Section 1535 requires the disclosure of both qualitative and quantitative information that enables users of
financial statements to evaluate the entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.
Section 1535 specifies the disclosures of (i) an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing
capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied
with any capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.
Sections 3862 and 3863 replace Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments-Disclosure and
Presentation, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements and carrying forward unchanged its
presentation requirements for financial instruments. Sections 3862 and 3863 place increased emphasis n
disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity
manages those risks.
(b) Inventories
Handbook Section 3031, “Inventories” (“Section 3031”), which replaces Handbook Section 3030
“Inventories”, requires inventory to be carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value using, in
certain cases, the specific identification method or either of the first-in, first-out or average cost methods.

Write downs to net realizable value may be reversed, to the extent of the original write down, if there is
clear evidence of an increase in value due to a change in circumstances. Except for the new guidance on
reversal of write downs, the Company’s current practice for valuing inventories is substantially in
accordance with the new standard, and therefore the adoption of Section 3031 did not result in a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
No other new accounting policies were adopted by the Company in the six months ended June 30, 2008
and the Company is not expected to adopt any new accounting policies in the balance of 2008.
Business Risks and Uncertainties
The business risks and uncertainties affecting the Company have not changed from those described in the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2007.
