BNK's President and CEO Wolf Regener commented:

"Excellent progress has been made on our European concessions during the
quarter. Six 2D seismic lines were acquired and interpreted on our Baltic
Basin Project. The seismic lines were acquired to avoid encountering faults
in our test wells so that all targeted intervals can be properly evaluated.
Tendering for our first two wells is now nearly complete so that our 1st
well, the Wytowno #1 can be spudded near the end of November. In Germany our
geologic work continued with our team making excellent progress towards
further high-grading the concessions and achieving our goal of being able to
pursue farm down opportunities in the second quarter of 2011. Our team has
also been busy working on additional concessions in other basins within
Europe that we hope to be awarded in the future which would further diversify
our projects.

Our operating results in the U.S. also continued to improve and were
characterized by higher revenues resulting from improved product pricing on
increased production over last year with increased investment in property,
plant and equipment. The field work done in the third quarter has resulted in
our net production increasing further to over 1,300 barrels of oil equivalent
per day. The third quarter loss of $30,000 was only 1% of last year's third
quarter loss of $3.2 million. For the nine month period the loss was
$611,000, a 94% improvement as compared to a $9.9 million loss in the first
nine months of 2009".

"Working capital improved to a positive $8.0 million at September 30,
2010 versus negative working capital at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009
of $8.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively."

"The recently announced private placement will increase our cash and
working capital by a net $64 million once fully funded. $26.9 million of
these funds were received on October 27, 2010 and the second tranche is
expected to close in November 2010. This cash will allow us to fully pursue
our currently planned European exploration activities and give us flexibility
and options for our European projects."

"On October 27, 2010 the Company's US operating subsidiary, BNK Petroleum
(US) Inc., obtained a new revolving reserve based credit facility with an
initial borrowing base of $23.8 million against which $20 million of credit
was extended and used to partially pay off our former bank debt. The balance
owed inclusive of accrued interest of $3.5 million was paid from cash on
hand. Absent any reductions in the borrowing base this new three year
facility requires interest only payments versus required principal payments
under our former facility, which payments totaled $4,678,000 through the
first nine months of 2010. As a result the new facility will free up more
cash for operating needs".

Third Quarter 2010 Compared to Third Quarter 2009

Oil and gas revenues net of royalties were $3,080,000 up from $1,681,000
in the third quarter of 2009. Improved product pricing averaging $37.67 a
barrel up from $29.37 a barrel (a 28% increase) in the third quarter of 2009
coupled with a 12% increase in average daily production caused the increase
in revenue between quarters.

During the quarter 27 gross stages from four Company operated wells in
its Tishomingo field were fracture stimulated. Three wells were shut in for
all or some of the quarter in preparation for frac-ing and the time required
for flowback after fracture stimulations.

In the quarter the Company recorded an unrealized risk management gain on
its product hedges of $380,000 primarily related to its hedges on natural gas
that benefit the Company if the price of natural gas declines.

Operating expenses increased 52% to $1,063,000 due to higher gathering
fees and production taxes while general and administrative expenses increased
64% to $1,317,000 due primarily to increased salaries and wages as the
company grows.

Interest in the quarter declined $173,000 or 31% to $390,000 due to lower
debt levels between quarters.

A foreign exchange gain of $653,000 was recorded in the quarter primarily
due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar to the US dollar in the third
quarter of 2010. A $28,000 foreign exchange loss was recorded in the third
quarter of 2009.

Stock-based compensation expense totaled $673,000 in the quarter and was
51% lower than the third quarter of 2009 as more options were granted in the
third quarter of 2009 (6,740,000) than in the third quarter of 2010
(1,160,000).

Depletion, Accretion and Depreciation expense totaled $1,278,000 in the
quarter or 22% lower than the third quarter of 2009 due to increased reserves
decreasing the depletion rate per barrel.

First Nine Months of 2010 Compared to first Nine Months of 2009

The loss for the first nine months of $611,000 was 94% lower than the
loss in the first nine months of 2009 of $9,915,000.

    FIRST NINE MONTHS HIGHLIGHTS

    - Losses declined 94% to $611,000
    - Loss per share declined 93% to one cent per share from 14 cents per
      share

      $11,868,000 last year. Excluding the $12,000,000 paid to Wells Fargo in
      the second quarter to purchase the net profits and overriding royalty
      interests from its senior lender net additions to property plant and
      equipment totaled $13,918,000 in the first nine months of 2010 and
      primarily relate to fracing and drilling costs in Oklahoma
    - Average production per day increased 19% to 1,114 barrels per day
    - Average product price increased 53% to $40.43 per barrel
    - Oil and Gas revenue increased 78% to $12,297,000

      of 770,000 acres in Germany
    - On March 20, 2010 the Company was awarded three new concessions in
      Poland totaling 880,000 acres
    - On May 19, 2010 the Company was awarded an additional concession in
      Germany totaling 840,000 acres bringing total gross acreage in Europe
      to 3.9 million acres (3.5 million net)
    - On May 18, 2010 the Company closed a bought deal equity financing
      raising $43,593,000 in gross proceeds issuing 15,800,000 common shares
      at a price of CAD$2.85
    - On May 19, 2010 the Company repaid its subordinated debt of $2,749,000
    - On May 21, 2010 the Company purchased the net profits and overriding

Oil and gas revenues net of royalties were $9,750,000 up from $5,521,000
in the first nine months of 2009. This 77% increase was caused by higher
average product prices of $76.60 versus $48.34 in 2009, an increase of 58%
and increased average production of 1,114 barrels per day or 19% versus the
first nine months of 2009.

Through the first nine months of 2010, 60 gross stages from 11 wells have
been fracture stimulated in the Tishomingo field. In all of 2009, 32 gross
stages were fracture stimulated.

The Company has earned 8,400 out of a possible 40,000 net acres in the
Black Warrior Project .

Through the first nine months of 2010 the Company has recorded gathering
revenue of $2,406,000 versus $820,000 in the same period in 2009. However
$1,150,000 of this year's gathering income resulted from a correction of an
accounting error that related to 2009 and 2008.

Through the first nine months of 2010 an unrealized gain on risk
management contracts of $937,000 versus a loss of $334,000 in the same period
last year relates to gains primarily on natural gas hedges.

Operating expenses total $3,322,000 through the first nine months of 2010
or 47% higher than the comparable period in 2009 due to higher gathering fees
and production taxes resulting from increased production.

General and Administrative expenses totaled $3,586,000 through the first
nine months of 2010 versus $2,734,000 for the same period in 2009, an
increase of 31% due to higher salary and recruitment costs as the company
grows.

Interest through the first nine months of 2010 total $1,356,000 versus
$2,604,000, a decline of 48% due to lower debt levels.

Stock based compensation expense declined 46% to $1,733,000 due to lower
levels of options granted in 2010 than 2009.

Depletion, depreciation and accretion declined 30% to $3,575,000 due to
increased reserves decreasing the depletion rate per barrel.

The information outlined above is extracted from and should be read in

at www.sedar.com.

Non-GAAP Information

Netback per barrel and its components are calculated by
dividing revenue, royalties and operating expenses by the Company's sales
volume during the period. Netback per barrel is a non-GAAP measure but it is
commonly used by oil and gas companies to illustrate the unit contribution of
each barrel produced. This is a useful measure for investors to compare the
performance of one entity with another. The non-GAAP measures referred to
above do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore
may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

The Company also uses the "barrels" (bbls) or "barrels of oil
equivalent" (boe) reference in this report to reflect natural gas liquids and
oil production and sales. All boe conversions are derived by converting gas
to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil,
representing the approximate energy equivalency.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute
"forward-looking information" as such term is used in applicable Canadian
securities laws, including information regarding the expected closing of the
second tranche of the private placement and timing thereof, expectations that
the funds from the private placement will be sufficient to fund the Company's
planned exploration expenditures in Europe, and work plans and timing of same

plans and estimates of management at the date the information is provided and
certain factors and assumptions of management, including that all conditions
to closing of the second tranche of the private placement will be fulfilled
that costs of planned exploration activities in Europe will be as currently
anticipated and that the Company will not need to use the funds for other
purposes, that the capital, equipment and approvals required to conduct the
proposed work will be available when required. Forward looking information is
subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could
cause plans, estimates and actual results to vary materially from those
projected in such forward-looking information. Factors that could cause the
forward-looking information in this news release respecting the private
placement to change or to be inaccurate include, but are not limited to, the
risk that regulatory approval of the private placement will be delayed or not
obtained, that the Company could experience a material adverse effect, that
the costs of equipment and labor are higher than budgeted, that unexpected
events and contingencies could occur that require a diversion of funds to
other purposes, that the required capital, equipment, regulatory and third
party approvals are not available when required or at all.
