Petroflow Energy Ltd. announces update on annual information

(TSX Symbol - PEF; NYSE Amex Symbol - PED)

DENVER, April 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Petroflow Energy Ltd. ("Petroflow" or the "Company") today announced that it will not meet the previously announced date of April 9th (March 31 news release) for filing the Company's audited financials for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and accompanying management discussion and analysis or the Annual Information Form with securities regulators in Canada. The reasons for the Company's inability to meet the filing deadlines are that it has taken more time than was anticipated to assure that the financial disclosure meets the required standards, such that certifications respecting the annual filings can be made as required by Canadian law.

The Company currently plans to complete all of its annual filings when it completes the audit. The Company's failure to file the required continuous disclosure documents may result in securities commissions in Canada imposing an Issuer Cease Trade Order. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
