Introduction
SacOil Holdings Limited, which is 56.7% owned by Encha Capital, concluded a farm-in agreement on 10 May 2010 ("the Agreement") in terms of which SacOil will, subject to the conditions precedent set out below, acquire a 55% participating interest in the Chaal Permit Area ("the Acquisition"). The Chaal Permit Area is potentially one of Tunisia`s most significant future gas resources.

The Chaal Permit Area
Chaal is a potential world class gas condensate discovery located onshore central Tunisia some 25 kms to the west of Tunisia`s second largest city, Sfax. Candax Energy Inc. ("Candax") together with its partners and the Tunisian Government are actively pursuing the deep gas resources at Chaal and in the Triassic reservoirs lying beneath the producing fields in the south of the country.

The Chaal field covers approximately 1 200 square kilometres. Gas condensate was discovered there in the early 1960s. In 2006 a further well was drilled ("the Chaal 1 Well") and encountered significant gas shows. The Chaal permit is within close proximity of established excess capacity gas pipeline infrastructure and gas markets (both local and international) where excess demand exists. Prior to the implementation of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement, the participants in the Chaal Permit Area ("the Participants") and their respective interests ("Participating Interests") are:

Following the implementation of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement
(with Falcan and SMIP having assigned part of their respective interests to
SacOil), the Participants and their Participating Interests would be:
SacOil                                    55.00%
Falcan                                    18.75%
SMIP                                       6.25%
Mitsubishi                                20.00%

Candax Energy Inc.
In April 2010, Candax completed its investment agreement with Geofinance NV, an international upstream oil and gas company ("Geofinance"). Under the terms of the investment agreement, Geofinance with its Acquisition of common stock and assuming the exercise of all its warrants (inter alia) would control Candax and therefore Falcan.

Rationale
The directors of SacOil believe that the Chaal Permit Area has the potential to be a world-class resource of gas/condensate. Tunisia has historically been a stable country. Tunisia also imports gas from Algeria in order to adequately provide for its growing requirements.The infrastructure within Tunisia is good and there is a major gas trunk line (with excess capacity) that passes some 15 kilometres to the east of the present exploration well. SacOil was able to enter as a Participant on favourable terms in the light of the project`s need for funding. The Agreement is a farm-in position, in terms of which SacOil agrees to refund Falcan and SMIP, a portion of their past costs and to provide an advance to cover the estimated costs of the planned forward work programme. The "Work Programme" in this instance is re-entry or the drilling of a sidetrack to the Chaal 1 Well, followed by a stimulation and testing programme. In exchange for this, Falcan and SMIP will assign part of their interests to give SacOil to give it a majority stake in the project. Once the project is cash positive, SacOil will receive a preferential recovery of its inputs.

Terms of the Agreement

Assigning Participants

Payment of costs of the Work Programme
In addition to the above consideration, SacOil shall bear a share proportional
