Certain statements contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements.
These statements relate to future events or our future performance. All
statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by
the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate",
"expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting",
"intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions. These
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated
in such forward-looking statements. We believe that the expectations reflected
in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based upon management's current
views but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be
correct and such forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. No
assurance can be given that actual results, performance or achievement expressed
in, or implied by these forward-looking statements will occur, or if they do,
that any benefits may be derived from them. Past results have been applied in
drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection set out in the
forward-looking information. The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be
misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six
thousand cubic feet per barrel (6mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil
equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead. All boe conversions herein are derived from converting gas to oil in
the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.
