This news release contains forward-looking information. Implicit in this
information are assumptions regarding commodity pricing, production, royalties
and expenses that, although considered reasonable by the Company at the time of
preparation, may prove to be incorrect. These forward-looking statements are
based on certain assumptions that involve a number of risks and uncertainties
and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ
materially as a result of changes in the Company's plans, commodity prices,
equipment availability, general economic, market, regulatory and business
conditions as well as production, development and operating performance and
other risks associated with oil and gas operations. There is no guarantee made
by the Company that the actual results achieved will be the same as those
forecasted herein. Barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") amounts may be misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio has been calculated
using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel
and is based on an energy equivalent conversion method application at the burner
tip and does not necessarily represent an economic value equivalent at the
wellhead.
