The information presented herein may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although
the company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its goals
will be achieved.  Important factors that could cause actual  results to differ materially from those included in the forward
looking statements include the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for oil and gas, the need to develop and
replace reserves, the impact of inclement weather conditions including hurricanes, drilling and operating risks, uncertainties
about the estimates of reserves, competition,  environmental risks, government regulation and the ability of the company to
meet its stated business goals.
