EXPLANATORY NOTE
     On April 17, 2007, Encore Acquisition Company (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) to report, among other things, the closing of its purchase of certain oil and natural gas properties and related assets in the Williston Basin of Montana and North Dakota (the “Anadarko Williston Basin Operations”) from Howell Petroleum Corporation and Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP. In addition, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed on March 13, 2007 and May 23, 2007, respectively, the Company recently closed the purchase of certain oil and natural gas properties and related assets in the Big Horn Basin of Montana and Wyoming (the “Anadarko Big Horn Basin Operations”) from Clear Fork Pipeline Company, Howell Petroleum Corporation and Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Initial Report to include the audited annual financial statements of the Anadarko Williston Basin Operations, the unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Anadarko Williston Basin Operations, together with the Anadarko Big Horn Basin Operations (collectively, the “Anadarko Operations”), and the unaudited pro forma financial statements of the Company required by Item 9.01. No other amendments to the Initial Report are being made by the Amendment.

Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying combined statements of revenues and direct operating expenses of the Anadarko Williston Basin Operations (Williston Basin Operations), acquired on April 11, 2007 by a subsidiary of Encore Acquisition Company for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Williston Basin Operations’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in note 1. The statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of Williston Basin Operations’ revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the combined statements of revenues and direct operating expenses referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the Williston Basin Operations for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(Unaudited)
(1)   Basis of Presentation
 
    On January 23, 2007, Encore Acquisition Company (Encore) entered into an Agreement (Agreement) with Howell Petroleum Corporation and Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP, wholly owned subsidiaries of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko), whereby Encore agreed to acquire all of the ownership interests owned by Anadarko in certain oil and gas properties in the Williston Basin (Williston Basin Operations). The Williston Basin properties are located primarily in North Dakota and Montana. The acquisition closed on April 11, 2007 for a cash purchase price of approximately $392.5 million, subject to contractual post-closing adjustments as set forth in the Agreement.
 
    Anadarko did not prepare separate stand alone historical financial statements for the Williston Basin Operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, it is not practicable to identify all assets and liabilities, or other indirect operating costs applicable to the Williston Basin Operations. The accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses were prepared from the historical accounting records of Anadarko.
 
    Certain indirect expenses as further described in note 4 were not allocated to the Williston Basin Operations’ historical financial records. Any attempt to allocate these expenses would require significant and judgmental allocations which would be arbitrary and would not be indicative of the performance of the properties had they been owned by Encore.
 
    These statements of revenues and direct operating expenses do not represent a complete set of financial statements reflecting financial position, results of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Williston Basin Operations and are not indicative of the results of operations for the Williston Basin Operations going forward.
 
(2)   Significant Accounting Policies
  (a)   Principles of Combination and Use of Estimates
 
      The combined statements of revenues and direct operating expenses are derived from the accounts of Anadarko. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the financial statements. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses. Actual results could be different from those estimates.

  (b)   Revenue Recognition
 
      Total revenues in the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses are derived from the sale of oil and natural gas. Anadarko recognizes revenues based on the amount of oil and natural gas sold to purchasers when delivery to the purchaser has occurred and title has transferred. Anadarko follows the sales method of accounting for gas imbalances, whereby, as sales volumes exceed Anadarko’s entitled share, an overproduced imbalance occurs. To the extent the overproduced imbalance exceeds Anadarko’s share of the remaining estimated proved natural gas reserves for a given property, a liability is recorded. There were no significant imbalances with other revenue interest owners during any of the periods presented in these statements.
 
      Oil and natural gas revenues for the Williston Basin Operations are as follows:

Total revenues
  $ 115,099     $ 123,184     $ 89,077  
 
                 
  (c)   Direct Operating Expenses
 
      Direct operating expenses are recognized when incurred and consist of direct expenses of operating the Williston Basin Operations. The direct operating expenses include lease operating and production and other tax expenses. Lease operating expenses include lifting costs, well repair expenses, surface repair expenses, well workover costs, and other field expenses. Lease operating expenses also include expenses directly associated with support personnel, support services, equipment and facilities directly related to oil and natural gas production activities. Production and other taxes consist of severance and ad valorem taxes.
(3)   Contingencies
 
    The activities of the Williston Basin Operations are subject to potential claims and litigation in the normal course of operations. Anadarko does not believe that any liability resulting from any pending or threatened litigation will have a materially adverse effect on the operations or financial results of the Williston Basin Operations.
 
(4)   Excluded Expenses (unaudited)
 
    The Williston Basin Operations were part of a much larger enterprise prior to the date of the acquisition by Encore. Indirect costs have not been included in the financial statements. These costs include indirect general and administrative expenses, recovery of COPAS overhead charges from joint venture partners, interest, income taxes and other indirect expenses. These expenses were not allocated to the Williston Basin Operations and have been excluded from the accompanying statements. Anadarko management believes such indirect expenses are not indicative of future costs which would be incurred by Encore.

    Also, depreciation, depletion and amortization have been excluded from the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses as such amounts would not be indicative of those expenses which would be incurred based on the amounts expected to be allocated to the oil and gas properties in connection with the purchase price allocation by Encore.
 
(5)   Cash Flow Information (unaudited)
 
    Capital expenditures were approximately $33.9 million, $17.3 million and $15.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Other cash flow information is not available on a stand alone basis for the Williston Basin Operations.

(Unaudited)
Supplemental oil and natural gas reserve information related to the Williston Basin Operations is presented in accordance with the requirements of statement of financial accounting standards SFAS No. 69, Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities (SFAS No. 69).
Because oil and natural gas reserves are based on many assumptions, all of which may substantially differ from actual results, reserve estimates and timing of development and production may be significantly different from the actual quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered and the timing of such production. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production after the date of an estimate may justify material revisions to the estimates.
Estimated Proved Reserves
Proved oil and gas reserve estimates are prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines and are a function of; (i) the quality and quantity of available data, (ii) the interpretation of that data, (iii) the accuracy of various economic assumptions used and (iv) the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.

The volumes of proved oil and natural gas reserves shown are estimates, which, by their nature, are subject to later revision. These proved reserves were estimated utilizing available geological and reservoir data as well as production performance data. These estimates are prepared annually by reserve engineers, and revised either upward or downward, as warranted by additional performance data. The following table sets forth estimates of the proved oil and natural gas reserves (net of royalty interests) and changes therein attributed to the Williston Basin Operations, for the periods indicated below.

Estimates of future net cash flows from proved reserves were made in accordance with SFAS No. 69. The amounts were prepared by the Anadarko’s engineers and are shown in the following table. The year-end prices used for the development of future cash inflows were $54.12, $55.26 and $40.01 per barrel of oil and $3.64, $8.26 and $4.67 per Mcf of natural gas for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and these year end prices have been adjusted for transportation and other charges. The estimates are based on prices at year-end. Oil prices are

escalated only for fixed and determinable amounts under provisions in some contracts. Estimated future cash inflows are reduced by estimated future development, production, abandonment and dismantlement costs based on year-end cost levels, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. U.S. income tax expense is calculated by applying the existing statutory tax rates, including any known future changes, to the pretax net cash flows giving effect to any permanent differences and reduced by the applicable tax basis.
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
The present value of future net cash flows does not purport to be an estimate of the fair market value of the Williston Basin Operations proved reserves. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, anticipated changes in future prices and costs, the expected recovery of reserves in excess of proved reserves and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in producing oil and gas.
The following table sets forth estimates of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves of oil and natural gas as of the dates indicated below.

1.   Basis of Presentation
 
    On January 16, 2007, Encore Acquisition Company, a Delaware Corporation, (“Encore”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with certain subsidiaries of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”) whereby Encore agreed to acquire all of the ownership interests of Anadarko representing all of the Gooseberry field’s and Elk Basin field’s oil and natural gas properties and associated liabilities (collectively the “Big Horn Basin Operations”) owned by Anadarko. The acquisition closed on March 7, 2007 for a cash purchase price of approximately $352.1 million, subject to contractual post-closing adjustments, as set forth in the agreement.
 
    On January 23, 2007, Encore entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with certain subsidiaries of Anadarko whereby Encore agreed to acquire all of the ownership interests of Anadarko representing all of the Williston Basin field’s oil and natural gas properties and associated liabilities (the “Williston Basin Operations” and together with the Big Horn Basin Operations, the “Anadarko Operations”) owned by Anadarko. The acquisition closed on April 11, 2007 for a cash purchase price of approximately $392.5 million, subject to contractual post-closing adjustments, as set forth in the agreement.
 
    Anadarko did not prepare separate stand-alone historical financial statements for the Anadarko Operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, it is not practicable to identify all assets and liabilities, or other indirect operating costs applicable to the Anadarko Operations. The accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses were prepared from the historical accounting records of Anadarko and Encore.
 
    Certain indirect expenses as further described in note 4 were not allocated to the Anadarko Operations’ historical financial records. Any attempt to allocate these expenses would require significant and judgmental allocations, which would be arbitrary and would not be indicative of the performance of the properties had they been owned by Encore.
 
    These statements of revenues and direct operating expenses do not represent a complete set of financial statements reflecting financial position, results of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Anadarko Operations, and are not indicative of the results of operations for the Anadarko Operations going forward.
 
2.   Significant accounting policies
 
    Principles of Combination and Use of Estimates — The accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses are derived from the historical accounting records of Anadarko and Encore. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination of the financial statements. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses. Actual results could be different from those estimates.
 
    Revenue recognition — Total revenues in the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses include oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and other revenue. Revenue is recognized based on the amount of oil, natural gas and NGLs sold to purchasers when delivery to the purchaser has occurred and title has transferred. Other revenue is comprised of third party sulfur sales coupled with processing and marketing revenues attributable to third party production. The accompanying statements

ENCORE ACQUISITION COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE
ANADARKO OPERATIONS
    were prepared using the sales method of accounting for gas imbalances, whereby, as sales volumes exceed the owner’s entitled share, an overproduced imbalance occurs. To the extent the overproduced imbalance exceeds the owner’s entitled share of the remaining estimated proved reserves for a given property, a liability is recorded. There were no significant imbalances with other revenue interest owners during any of the periods presented in these statements.
 
    Direct operating expenses — Direct operating expenses are recognized when incurred and consist of direct expenses of operating the Anadarko Operations. The direct operating expenses include lease operating, gathering, processing, and production and other tax expense. Lease operating expenses include lifting costs, well repair expenses, surface repair expenses, well workover costs, and other field expenses. Gathering and processing expenses include cost of product, maintenance and repair, and other operating costs. Lease operating and gathering and processing expenses also include expenses directly associated with support personnel, support services, equipment, and facilities directly related to oil and the production activities. Production and other taxes consist of severance and ad valorem taxes.
 
3.   Contingencies
 
    The activities of the Anadarko Operations are subject to potential claims and litigation in the normal course of operations. Anadarko management does not believe that any liability resulting from any pending or threatened litigation will have a materially adverse effect on the operations or financial results of the Anadarko Operations.
 
4.   Excluded expenses
 
    The Anadarko Operations were part of a much larger enterprise prior to the date of the acquisition by Encore. Indirect general and administrative expenses, recovery of COPAS overhead charges to joint venture partners, interest, income taxes, and other indirect expenses were not allocated to the Anadarko Operations and have been excluded from the accompanying statements. In addition, management of Encore believes such indirect expenses are not indicative of future costs or recoveries which would be incurred by Encore.
 
    Also, depreciation, depletion, and amortization have been excluded from the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses as such amounts would not be indicative of those expenses which would be incurred based on the amounts expected to be allocated to the properties in connection with the purchase price allocation.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INTRODUCTION
     Encore Acquisition Company (“Encore”), a Delaware corporation, acquires and develops oil and natural gas reserves from onshore fields in the United States. Since 1998, it has acquired producing properties with proven reserves and leasehold acreage and grown the production and proven reserves by drilling, exploring, reengineering or expanding existing waterflood projects, and by applying tertiary recovery techniques.
     On January 16, 2007, Encore entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire certain oil and natural gas properties and related assets in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming (“Big Horn”) from certain subsidiaries of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”). Big Horn is comprised of assets in or near the Elk Basin field (“Elk Basin”) in Park County, Wyoming and Carbon County, Montana and the Gooseberry field (“Gooseberry”) in Park County, Wyoming. The Big Horn acquisition was completed on March 7, 2007 and accordingly, the actual operating results related to the acquired properties are included in Encore’s operating results from that date forward.
     On January 23, 2007, Encore entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire certain oil and natural gas properties and related assets in the Williston Basin (“Williston” and together with Big Horn, the “Acquisitions”) of Montana and North Dakota from certain subsidiaries of Anadarko. The Williston acquisition was completed on April 11, 2007 and accordingly, the actual operating results related to the acquired properties are included in Encore’s operating results from that date forward.
     The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read together with the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Encore included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Encore included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and the audited Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of each of the Acquisitions filed as exhibits to this report. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements were derived by making certain adjustments to the historical financial statements of Encore. The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, the actual adjustments may differ from the unaudited consolidated pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions as contemplated and that the unaudited consolidated pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated pro forma financial statements give effect to the Acquisitions by Encore. The unaudited consolidated pro forma balance sheet assumes that the Williston acquisition and related transactions occurred on March 31, 2007 (the Big Horn acquisition was completed on March 7, 2007 and therefore included in Encore’s unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2007). The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 assumes that the Acquisitions and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2006.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
          The historical financial information is derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Encore. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 has been prepared as if the Williston acquisition and related transactions had taken place on March 31, 2007 (the Big Horn acquisition was completed on March 7, 2007 and therefore included in Encore’s unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2007). The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 assumes that the Acquisitions and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2006 (the Big Horn acquisition was completed on March 7, 2007 and therefore, the operating results from that date through March 31, 2007 are included in Encore’s unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007).
Note 2. Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments
      We made the following adjustments in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial statements:
 
  a)   To record the Williston acquisition for $393.3 million (including estimated transaction costs of approximately $1.2 million) financed with borrowings under Encore’s revolving credit facilities. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and, therefore, subject to change. Any future adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price are not expected to have a material effect on Encore’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
      The calculation of the total purchase price and the allocation to the fair value of the Williston assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Anadarko are as follows (in thousands):
         
Calculation of total purchase price:
       
Cash paid to Anadarko
  $ 392,065  
Transaction costs
    1,200  
 
     
Total purchase price
  $ 393,265  
 
     
 
       
Allocation of purchase price to the fair value of net assets acquired:
       
Accounts receivable
  $ 2,746  
Proved properties, including wells and related equipment
    380,139  
Unproved properties
    16,134  
 
     
Total assets acquired
    399,019  
 
     
Current liabilities
    (2,053 )
Future abandonment cost
    (3,701 )
 
     
Total liabilities assumed
    (5,754 )
 
     
Fair value of net assets acquired
  $ 393,265  
 
     
  b)   Reflects the amortization of debt issuance costs over the term of Encore’s revolving credit facilities.
 
  c)   Reflects the adjustment of additional depletion, depreciation, and amortization of oil and natural gas properties associated with the Acquisitions. Certain plant and pipeline equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. The remaining capitalized costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the remaining life of total proved developed reserves or proved reserves, as applicable.
 
  d)   Reflects estimated incremental interest expense associated with borrowings under Encore’s revolving credit facilities to fund the Acquisitions. We assume none of that debt is paid off during the periods covered in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations. If the LIBOR rate increased 1/8%, we would incur an additional $1.0 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006, and if the rate decreased 1/8%, we would incur $1.0 million less. If the LIBOR rate increased 1/8%, we would incur an additional $0.2 million in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and if the rate decreased 1/8%, we would incur $0.2 million less.
 
  e)   Reflects the accretion of discount on amounts accrued for future abandonment costs of the Acquisitions.
 
  f)   Reflects estimated incremental income tax provision associated with the operating income of the Acquisitions and

      the pro forma adjustments using a 38.5% and 37.5% incremental tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

Note 4. Oil & Natural Gas Producing Activities
     There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. Oil and natural gas reserve engineering is and must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in any exact way, and estimates of other engineers might differ materially from those included herein. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering, and estimates may justify revisions. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often materially different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. Reserve estimates are integral to management’s analysis of impairments of oil and natural gas properties and the calculation of depletion, depreciation, and amortization on these properties.
     Estimated pro forma net quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves are as follows as of December 31, 2006:

     Reserves for the Big Horn acquisition as of December 31, 2005 as shown in the table above are derived from unaudited footnotes to the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Anadarko Elk Basin Operations and the Anadarko Gooseberry Operations. Reserves for the Williston acquisition as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 as shown in the table above are derived from unaudited footnotes to the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Anadarko Williston Operations. Reserves for the Big Horn acquisition as of December 31, 2006 as shown in the table above were estimated by our internal engineering staff. These reserve amounts for the Big Horn acquisition as of December 31, 2006 differ from the reserves at December 31, 2006 included in the unaudited footnotes to the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Anadarko Elk Basin Operations and the Anadarko Gooseberry Operations. Proved reserves and future net revenues as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were estimated in accordance with the standards of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10 (a). Differences in the two reserves estimates are based on the following reasons. Future forecasts of production volumes and future net revenues as of December 31, 2005 were based on the prevailing direct operating expenses, field performance and market pricing conditions combined to calculate an economic life for the properties. As of December 31, 2006, the prevailing economic environment changed, including direct operating expenses, field performance and market pricing conditions, leading to a different forecast of the economic life for the properties. The combination of these changes has resulted in a reduction to reserves. The amounts by which these reserve estimates differ at December 31, 2006 has been included as a revision of quantity estimates in the above table. The decrease in reserves attributable to revisions can be attributed to (1) different expectations as to future decline rates and the resultant property lives, (2) available time to perform engineering analysis required before undeveloped reserves can meet the criteria for being considered proved, (3) availability of geographical and/or geophysical information for the properties, (4) overall familiarity with the properties and availability of reliable data needed to calculate expected future yield of natural gas liquids, (5) differing expectations regarding the number of years over which liquids extraction is expected to be profitable and therefore the total volume of liquids included in reserves, and (6) noticeably lower natural gas prices at December 31, 2006 as compared to at December 31, 2005.
