Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 1 to the statement on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on April 9, 2007 (the “Schedule 13D”), and relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of EXCO Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 12377 Merit Drive, Dallas, Texas 75251.

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

“(a) Aggregate Number and Percentage of Securities. See Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 1 and Item 2 of the Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and the percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Ares Entities.

(b) Power to Vote and Dispose. See Items 7 through 10 of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 1 and Item 2 of the Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Ares Entities as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to vote or to direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.”

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Subsection entitled “Series A-1 Hybrid Preferred Stock” of Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Series A-1 Hybrid Preferred Stock

The terms of the Hybrid Preferred Stock are governed by the Statement of Designation of Series A-1 Hybrid Preferred Stock, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.2 to the Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference (the “Hybrid Preferred Stock Designation”). On August 30, 2007, the Issuer convened a meeting of its shareholders and approved the NYSE Shareholder Proposal.

Conversion

Each holder of Hybrid Preferred Stock has the right to convert all or any portion of its shares of Hybrid Preferred Stock into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the then-current liquidation preference of the Hybrid Preferred Stock divided by the then-current conversion price of the Hybrid Preferred Stock. The Hybrid Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 6,355,259 shares of Common Stock.

Dividends

Each holder of Hybrid Preferred Stock is entitled to receive (subject to increase upon certain events of default) either (i) cumulative cash dividends, accruing at an annual rate of 7.0% from March 30, 2007 through March 30, 2013, and 9.0% thereafter, on the sum of $10,000 plus any aggregate accumulated and unpaid dividends, or (ii) cumulative non-cash dividends, accruing at an annual rate of 9.0% on the sum of $10,000 plus any aggregate accumulated and unpaid dividends. Dividends are cumulative from March 30, 2007 and payable quarterly in arrears, commencing June 15, 2007.

Voting Rights

Each holder of Hybrid Preferred Stock is entitled to vote, on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock, on all matters on which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, other than the election of directors.”

The foregoing summary of the Hybrid Preferred Stock Designation and the agreements and transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Hybrid Preferred Stock Designation filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.
