BPI Energy Holdings, Inc. (AMEX:BPG), an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, production and commercial sale of coalbed methane (CBM) in the Illinois Basin, today announced financial and operating results for the quarter and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2007. Fiscal third-quarter 2007 revenues from gas sales increased 27 percent to $334,706 from the $262,860 generated in the comparable year-ago period. The improvement is primarily attributable to sales volume increases, partially offset by lower sales prices. A net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.03 per share, was recorded during the quarter, compared with last year�s net loss of $4.9 million, or $0.07 per share. The average gas price that BPI received for its gas sales declined seven percent for the quarter, while sales volume increased 35 percent compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2006. BPI received an average of $6.81 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for gas sales of 48.6 million cubic feet (MMcf) during the three-month period, versus an average of $7.33 per Mcf on sales of 35.9 MMcf during the same period one year ago. For the nine-month period, revenues rose to $875,615 from last year�s level of $800,365�an increase of nine percent. Gas sales volume advanced 65 percent, reaching 137.4 MMcf, versus 83.1 MMcf in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. Average selling price declined 34 percent to $6.34 per Mcf, from the $9.63 per Mcf realized in last year�s comparable period. Sales volume was negatively impacted during the fiscal 2007 period by the previously announced pipeline curtailment related to increased nitrogen levels. This necessitated sales volume to be constrained from October 2006 through March 2007. The company recorded a net loss of $6.6 million, or $0.09 per share, for the fiscal 2007 nine-months, which primarily reflected increased expenses associated with the establishment of BPI�s in-house technical team and the initiation of the two most recent pilot programs. The net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.12 per share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 included the previously disclosed legal settlement with Colt, LLC, in the third quarter. Project Updates During the fiscal third quarter, the company drilled 11 new wells, including two development wells, four pilot wells, one pressure observation well, one water disposal well and three test wells. Eight of these wells are in the Northern Illinois Basin Project, two are in the Southern Basin Project, and one is in the Western Basin Project.

BPI Chief Operating Officer James E. Craddock commented, �We have five rigs drilling CBM wells in the basin with 11 wells drilled through the end of the fiscal third quarter. For the balance of fiscal 2007, we plan to drill 38 new wells, including 26 development wells, eight pilot wells, two pressure observation wells and two test wells.� President and CEO James G. Azlein added, �These projects will require an additional outlay of approximately $7 million, which will be funded by our cash balance and cash raised through the sale of borrowings, debt securities, equity securities and/or joint ventures. We are making progress on our financing initiative and hope to reach resolution on the most attractive alternative in the near future.� BPI is filing its Form 10-Q for its fiscal third-quarter period with the Securities and Exchange Commission today, Wednesday, June 13, 2007.
