HUDSON PIPELINE & PROCESSING CO, LLC (“HPPC”)
EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT
DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 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 Aurora Oil & Gas Corporation’s (the “Company”) staff with management oversight on behalf of HPPC.  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 month ended July 31, 2009, August 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and October 31, 2009, one and eleven months ended November 30, 2009 and balances as of July 12, 2009 (filing date), July 31, 2009, August 31, 2009, September 30, 2009, October 31, 2009 and November 30, 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.  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 HPPC and does not include any eliminating entries.  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.
