MAGNUM HUNTER RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2002
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATION

The consolidated balance sheet of Magnum Hunter Resources, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2002, the consolidated
statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the consolidated statement of stockholders'
equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001,
are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which
include only normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the
financial position at September 30, 2002, results of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three and nine month periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the December 31, 2001 annual
report and on Form 10-K for the Company. The results of operations for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain items have been
reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company merged with Prize Energy
Corp. ("Prize"), a publicly traded independent oil and gas development and
production company. The merger with Prize closed on March 15, 2002, but for
operating and financial reporting purposes, was effective as of March 1, 2002.
As such, the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002, include three months and seven months of contributions from Prize,
respectively. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Prize merger.

On March 1, 2002, the Company created two unrestricted wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Canvasback Energy, Inc., and Redhead Energy, Inc. Canvasback
Energy, Inc. and Redhead Energy, Inc. will hereafter be collectively referred to
as Canvasback since Redhead Energy, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Canvasback. On March 15, 2002, Bluebird Energy, Inc. ("Bluebird") transferred
all of its assets to Canvasback, which effectively capitalized Canvasback. Upon
completion of this transfer, Bluebird was merged into Magnum Hunter Production,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magnum Hunter Resources, Inc.

Effective September 1, 2002, the Company sold approximately 41 billion
cubic feet equivalent of proved producing reserves to a new private limited
partnership in which the Company is the general partner with a 5% initial
ownership interest. The sales proceeds of $49.0 million ($46.6 million to the
Company) were used to reduce bank debt. Also, effective September 1, 2002, the
Company sold approximately 7.1 billion cubic feet equivalent of proved producing
reserves at various auctions for $8.0 million, the proceeds of which were used
to reduce bank debt. Total proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties
through September 30, 2002, have been $56.6 million, of which $53.9 million is
attributable to properties acquired in the Prize merger. These sales are part of
the Company's plan to sell up to $95 million of non-core oil and gas assets
during fiscal 2002, with proceeds used to reduce overall indebtedness as the
Company seeks to improve its debt-to-equity ratio and streamline its operations.
Additional non-core properties are expected to be sold in the fourth quarter of
2002 and the first quarter of 2003.

The Company is a holding company with no significant assets or operations
other than its investments in its subsidiaries. The wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the Company, except for Canvasback, are direct guarantors of each of the
Company's 10% Senior Notes and 9.6% Senior Notes, and have fully and
unconditionally guaranteed these Notes on a joint and several basis. The
guarantors comprise all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company
(other than Canvasback), and the Company has presented separate condensed
consolidating financial statements and other disclosures concerning each
guarantor and Canvasback (See Note 8). Except for Canvasback, there is no
restriction on

(Unaudited)

the ability of consolidated or unconsolidated subsidiaries to transfer
funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans, or advances.

NOTE 2 - MERGER WITH PRIZE ENERGY CORP.

On March 15, 2002, the Company merged with Prize, a publicly traded
independent oil and gas development and production company based in Grapevine,
Texas. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase of Prize by the Company
in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 141 "Business Combinations", which requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting for business combinations initiated and completed after
June 30, 2001. Under the terms of the merger, the Company distributed 2.5 shares
of common stock plus $5.20 in cash for each Prize share outstanding. The
purchase price, computed from the equity and cash consideration given at the
time of the merger, was allocated to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
The amount of purchase price in excess of the fair value of Prize's net assets
was assigned to goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets", which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002, the
goodwill realized in the merger with Prize will not be amortized. However,
future evaluations of goodwill will be performed annually to determine whether
any impairment has occurred. The Company has not completed the final allocation
of the purchase price to the fair value of the specific assets and liabilities
of Prize and the related business integration plan. The Company expects that the
ultimate purchase price allocation, which will be made on or before March 31,
2003, may include additional adjustments to the fair value of the specific
assets and the carrying values of certain liabilities. Accordingly, to the
extent that such assessments indicate that the fair value of certain assets and
liabilities differ from their preliminary purchase price allocation, such
differences would adjust the amounts allocated to the assets and liabilities and
would change the amounts allocated to goodwill. The following table summarizes
the total assumed purchase price and related preliminary allocation to the net
assets acquired (000's) as of September 30, 2002:




Total Purchase Price:
Fair Value of 34,062,963 shares of Magnum Hunter

-------------------

===================


During the third quarter of 2002, the Company divested of a number of
properties that were acquired in the Prize merger. Total proceeds received on
the Prize divestitures were approximately $53.9 million. In accordance with SFAS
142, the Company attached $4.0 million of goodwill to the divested properties.
Proceeds (net of goodwill) of approximately

$49.9 million were applied against the full cost pool. The remaining
goodwill balance at September 30, 2002 was $59.3 million. Also in accordance
with SFAS 142, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test at September 30,
2002. Test results showed no impairment of goodwill.

The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, presents the results
of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and
2001, as if the acquisition of Prize occurred as of the beginning of the
respective periods. The pro forma information includes the effects of
adjustments for interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and
income taxes. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what
actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed as of the
beginning of each period presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of
future consolidated results.

At September 30, 2002, warrants representing 12,091,294 shares of common
stock and options representing 6,791,534 shares of common stock were

stock and options representing 4,086,500 shares of common stock were
outstanding. On January 1, 2001, the remaining $25.0 million (liquidation value)
of the Company's 1999 Series A 8% convertible preferred stock was converted into
4,761,904 shares of common stock. For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2002, 12,091,394 shares and 11,661,563 shares of stock
representing warrants, respectively, and 3,289,600 shares and 3,286,767 shares
of stock representing options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted
earnings per share calculations because the exercise price exceeded the average
market price of the Company's stock for these periods. For the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2001, no shares of stock representing warrants
and 45,000 shares and 31,667 shares of stock representing options, respectively,
were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because the
exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Company's stock for
these periods.

NOTE 4 - DEBT

The Company amended and restated its Senior Bank Credit Facility (the
"Facility") in conjunction with the merger with Prize. The amended Facility
provides for total borrowings of $500 million, up from $225 million, and raised
the borrowing base limit from $160 million to $300 million. Additionally, the
expiration date of the Facility was amended and extended to March 2005. After
March 15, 2002, the Facility was used to i) fund the cash component of the
merger consideration paid to the Prize shareholders, ii) pay certain costs
associated with the merger, and iii) for general corporate purposes. In
connection with the divestiture of certain oil and gas properties described
below, the borrowing base was reduced to $250 million on September 3, 2002.

The amended Facility was treated as a new credit facility on the effective
date of March 15, 2002. As such, the outstanding balances on the Facility prior
to March 15, 2002 were paid off with the proceeds received on March 15, 2002.
The original capitalized debt issuance costs of $621 thousand, net of tax,
related to the prior Facility were written off as an extraordinary loss from
early extinguishment of debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

The amended Facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial
tests and maintain certain financial ratios. The Company was not in compliance
with the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined by the Facility) at March 31,
2002. The Company obtained a waiver from its lenders as of March 31, 2002 and
negotiated an amendment dated July 3, 2002 which adjusted the Funded Debt to
EBITDA Ratio (as defined by the Facility) to be less restrictive for the next
four successive quarters ending March 31, 2003. The Company was in compliance
with all financial covenants under the amended Facility at September 30, 2002,
and believes it will be able to comply with the revised financial covenants in
the future.

On March 15, 2002, the Company completed a private placement in the amount
of $300 million of new unsecured Senior Notes due 2012 to institutional
investors. Interest on these Senior Notes bears a fixed annual rate of 9.6% due
semi- annually, commencing September 15, 2002. Funds received from the issuance
of these notes were used to i) retire outstanding indebtedness under the Prize
commercial bank credit facility, ii) pay fees related to the issuance of the new
Senior Notes, and iii) for general corporate purposes.

On January 15, 2002, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction
on three newly constructed production platforms and associated pipelines located
in the Gulf of Mexico that had been earlier placed into service. The Company
received total proceeds of $11.2 million in new funding which was used for
general corporate purposes. The production platforms are being leased from a
syndicate group of lenders over a term of three years and at a cost of funds
based on the one month LIBOR, currently yielding a cost of approximately 5.2%
per annum. For financial statement reporting purposes, this transaction was
accounted for as a capital lease and has been included in long-term debt.

On March 15, 2002, the Company repaid its 7% notes payable to certain
vendors in the total amount of $4.0 million plus accrued interest. On March 14,
2002, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million to finance its insurance
premium for the year under a new note bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.25% per
annum and with a maturity date of December 14, 2002.

On March 7, 2002, Canvasback entered into a $10.0 million revolving credit
agreement with a financial institution. The credit agreement provides for both
LIBOR and prime based interest rate options (6.5% interest rate at September 30,
2002). On June 30, 2002, the remaining revolving loan balance of $5.8 million
converted to a term loan, repayable on March 7, 2004, together with accrued
interest. Proceeds from the loan were used to purchase the same amount in face
value of the Company's 10% Senior Notes, which were acquired in 2001 by the
Company and were being held as an investment. These 10% Senior Notes, together
with $4.7 million of 10% Senior Notes formerly owned by Bluebird and contributed
to Canvasback in its initial capitalization, serve as the only collateral for
the loan. On September 12, 2002, the terms of the credit agreement were amended
to allow for additional advances of approximately $1.2 million. Canvasback may
use the additional availability of funds to purchase incremental 10% Senior
Notes of the Company or to make an advance or to pay a dividend to an affiliate.
The loan is non-recourse to the Company.

NOTE 5 - HEDGING

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", as extended by SFAS No. 137 (June 1999) and amended by SFAS No. 138
(June 2000), was effective for the Company beginning January 2001. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires the recognition of derivatives in the balance
sheet and the measurement of those instruments at fair value.

The Company was obligated to twelve crude oil derivatives, sixteen natural
gas derivatives, and two interest rate derivatives on September 30, 2002. The
Company has determined that all outstanding derivatives qualify as cash flow
hedges and for hedge treatment as defined within SFAS No. 133, which requires
the Company to record the derivative assets or liabilities at their fair value
on its balance sheet with an offset to other comprehensive income. Hedge
ineffectiveness on the cash-flow hedges is recorded in earnings.

At September 30, 2002, the fair value of the Company's derivatives were as
follows (in thousands):

Derivative Assets
- -----------------------
Natural gas collars......................... $ 267
---------------------
Total derivative assets..................... $ 267
---------------------
Derivative Liabilities
- -----------------------
Natural gas collars......................... $ 13,390
Natural gas swaps........................... 16,831
Crude oil collars........................... 2,608
Crude oil swaps............................. 4,141
Interest rate swaps......................... 1,340
---------------------
Total derivative liabilities................ $ 38,310
---------------------
Net derivative liabilities.................. $ 38,043
---------------------


For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, the income
statement includes a non-cash hedging ineffectiveness loss of $245 thousand and
$622 thousand, respectively, related to the crude oil and natural gas
derivatives and a non-cash loss of $1.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively,
related to the amortization of hedge contracts acquired in the Prize merger. The
remaining amortization amounts relating to hedge contracts acquired in the Prize
merger that will be reclassified into the income statement in years 2002, 2003,
and 2004 are a $1.3 million loss, $1.3 million gain and $0.8 million gain,
respectively. It is estimated at this time that $18.7 million of other
comprehensive loss will be reclassified into the income statement during the
next 12 months.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

The Company realized a tax benefit of $3.5 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2002. This benefit was realized as a result of the
reversal of the $7.1 million valuation allowance for the Company's net operating
losses and tax credit carryforwards from 2001 and earlier years. The Company
believes that due to the merger with Prize, it will be possible to generate
future taxable income to utilize these prior losses and carryforwards and that
the valuation allowance is no longer needed.

At September 30, 2002, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $12.5
million and a deferred tax liability of $94.8 million, for a net deferred tax
liability of $82.3 million. The majority of this balance was booked as a result
of the Prize merger; $41.0 million related to Prize's historical deferred tax
liability and $75.2 million related to the deferred taxes computed on the
purchase price in excess of historical net assets, excluding goodwill.
Additionally, the $12.5 million deferred tax asset is related to the portion of
Prize's total net operating loss and tax assets that may be used by the Company
as carrybacks, to the extent of available offsetting prior operating profits
generated by Prize. This deferred tax asset was included in the Company's
original goodwill allocation resulting from the Prize merger. Subsequent to
September 30, 2002, the Company received a refund from the Internal Revenue
Service of approximately $3.1 million relating to this asset. Additional refunds
are anticipated upon filing of Prize's tax return for fiscal 2002.

NOTE 7 - SEGMENT DATA

The Company has three reportable segments. The Exploration and Production
segment is engaged in exploratory and developmental drilling and acquisition,
production, and sale of crude oil, condensate, and natural gas. The Gas
Gathering, Marketing and Processing segment is engaged in the gathering and
compression of natural gas from the wellhead, the purchase and resale of natural
gas which it gathers, and the processing of natural gas liquids. The Oil Field
Services segment is engaged in the managing and operation of producing oil and
gas properties for interest owners.

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different products and services. They are managed separately because each
business requires different technology and marketing strategies. The Exploration
and Production segment has three geographic areas that are aggregated. The Gas
Gathering, Marketing and Processing segment includes the activities of the two
gathering systems and four natural gas liquids processing plants in two
geographic areas that are aggregated. The Oil Field Services segment has three
geographic areas that are aggregated. The reason for aggregating the segments,
in each case, is due to the similarity in nature of the products, the production
processes, the type of customers, the method of distribution, and the regulatory
environments.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the
Company as a whole. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss
from operations before income taxes. The accounting for intersegment sales and
transfers is done as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is,
at current market prices.

NOTE 8 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except Canvasback, are
direct guarantors of the Company's 10% Senior Notes and 9.6% Senior Notes and
have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Notes on a joint and several
basis. In addition to not being a guarantor of the Company's 10% Senior Notes
and 9.6% Senior Notes, Canvasback cannot be included in determining compliance
with certain financial covenants under the Company's credit agreements. The
Company has concluded that separate financial statements related to the
guarantors are not included because management has determined that they are not
material to investors. Condensed consolidating financial information for Magnum
Hunter Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002 and December

NOTE 9 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

SFAS No. 142 - SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", became
effective for the Company January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other
things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. Any goodwill resulting from
acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. In addition,
SFAS No. 142 establishes a new method of testing goodwill that could reduce the
fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Any goodwill impairment
loss will be recorded in operations. The Company recorded goodwill of $63.2
million as the result of our merger with Prize Energy Corp. on March 15, 2002.
The adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have an impact on our consolidated
financial statements on January 1, 2002.

SFAS No. 143 - SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations",
will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143
requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any retirement obligation
associated with long-lived assets. The offset to any liability recorded is added
to the recorded asset where the additional amount is depreciated over the same
period as the long-lived asset for which the retirement obligation is
established. SFAS No. 143 also requires additional disclosures. We are in the
process of evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 143 to our
existing operations.

SFAS No. 144 - SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2002.
SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework
established in SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale and resolves significant implementation issues related to
SFAS No. 121.

SFAS No. 145 - SFAS No. 145 "Recission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and
64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" will be
effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. The Statement rescinds,
updates, clarifies and simplifies various existing accounting pronouncements.
SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt", which required all gains and losses from extinguishment
of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item,
net of related income tax effect. As a result, SFAS No. 145 will require the
Company to reclassify extraordinary items for debt extinguishment costs which do
not meet the criteria as described in APB Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the Results
of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", as
additional interest expense. The Company plans to adopt this statement beginning
January 1, 2003.

SFAS No. 146 - In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 146 ("SFAS No. 146"), "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146
supercedes EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Statement 146 is to be applied
prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes associated with
them contained in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed
herein will necessarily continue into the future or that any conclusion reached
herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future.
Such discussion represents only the best present assessment by management of the
Company.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, except for accounting for
goodwill. SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", became effective
for the Company beginning January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other
things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. Any goodwill resulting from
acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. In addition,
SFAS No. 142 establishes a new method of testing goodwill that could reduce the
fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Any goodwill impairment
loss will be recorded in operations. The Company incurred goodwill of $63.2
million as the result of our merger with Prize Energy Corp. on March 15, 2002.
The adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have an impact on our consolidated
financial statements on January 1, 2002. For a discussion of our other critical
accounting policies, refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 2001.

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company merged with Prize Energy
Corp. ("Prize"), a publicly traded independent oil and gas development and
production company based in Grapevine, Texas. The merger with Prize closed on
March 15, 2002, but for operating and financial reporting purposes, was
effective as of March 1, 2002. As such, the results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2002, include three months and seven months of
operating contributions from Prize, respectively.

Throughout this document, we make statements that are classified as
"forward-looking." Please refer to the "Forward- Looking Statements" section of
this document for an explanation of these types of assertions.

The Company's results of operations have been significantly affected by our
past success in acquiring oil and gas properties and our ability to maintain or
increase oil and natural gas production through exploration, exploitation, and
development activities. Fluctuations in oil and gas prices have also had a
significant impact on our results of operations.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our oil
and gas operations and our gas gathering, marketing and processing operations:

Period-to-Period Comparison

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

We reported net income of $2.7 million for the three months ended September
30, 2002, as compared to net income of $2.0 million for the same period in 2001.
Total operating revenues increased 115% to $72.8 million and operating profit
increased 129% to $18.8 million in 2002, due primarily to the Prize merger. Both
basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.04 in the 2002 quarter versus basic
and diluted earnings per share of $0.06 and $0.05, respectively, in the 2001
quarter.

Oil and Gas Operations:

For the three months ended September 30, 2002, we reported oil production
of 1.1 million barrels and gas production of 13.2 billion cubic feet, which
represents an increase of 181% in oil produced and an increase of 93% in gas
produced from the comparable period in 2001. Our reported equivalent daily rate
of production on a million cubic feet per day basis (Mmcfe/day) increased 115%
to 214.8 Mmcfe/day in the 2002 period. These increases were primarily the result
of the merger with Prize and the success of our drilling program offsetting
normal production declines.

Oil revenues increased $17.8 million, or 181%, in the third quarter of 2002
compared to the same period in 2001, due to production gains of 707 Mbbls. Oil
prices were essentially flat at $25.14 in 2002, compared to $25.07 for the same
period in 2001. Gas revenues increased $18.7 million, or 94%, in the third
quarter of 2002 versus the same period in 2001 due to production gains of 6.3
Bcf. Gas prices were essentially flat at $2.94 in 2002 compared to $2.93 for the
same period in 2001.

From time to time, the Company enters into various commodity hedging
contracts in order to reduce our exposure to the possibility of declining oil
and gas prices. During the 2002 period, hedging decreased the average price we
received for oil by $1.83 per barrel and had no effect on the average price we
received for gas. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company had
approximately 60.0 Mmcf/d hedged through fixed price swaps with a weighted
average price of $2.87 per MMbtu and approximately 8.0 Mmcf/d hedged through
cost-less collars with a weighted average floor price of $3.99 per MMbtu and a
weighted average ceiling price of $5.45 per MMbtu. Approximately 48% of third
quarter 2002 natural gas production was hedged. On the crude side, the Company
had approximately 5,000 Bbls/d hedged through fixed price swaps with a weighted
average price of $25.27 per barrel and approximately 3,800 Bbls/d hedged through
cost-less collars with a weighted average floor price of $21.00 per barrel and a
weighted average ceiling price of $26.70 per barrel. Approximately 74% of third
quarter 2002 crude oil production was hedged. For the fourth quarter of 2002,
the Company has 60.0 MMcf/d hedged through fixed price swaps with a weighted
average price of $2.87 per MMbtu and approximately 8.0 MMcf/d hedged through
cost-less collars with a weighted average floor price of $4.07 per MMbtu and a
weighted average ceiling price of $5.52 per MMbtu. In addition, the Company has
hedged 5,000 Bbls/d of fourth quarter 2002 crude production through fixed price
swaps with a weighted average price of $25.27 per barrel and 4,500 Bbls/d hedged
through cost-less collars with a weighted average floor price of $21.27 per
barrel and a weighted average ceiling price of $26.79 per barrel.

Lease operating expenses consist of two primary components, lifting costs
and production tax and other costs. For the 2002 period, lifting costs were
$14.0 million versus $5.4 million in the 2001 period, an increase of 160%.
Production taxes and other costs were $8.1 million in the 2002 period versus
$2.7 million in the 2001 period, an increase of 198%. Both increases were
primarily attributable to the Prize merger. For the 2002 period, lifting costs,
on a unit of production basis,

19



were $0.71 per Mcfe as compared to $0.59 per Mcfe in the 2001 period, an
increase of 20% due to an increase in workover and remedial expense as well as
higher recurring costs associated with oil production acquired with the Prize
properties. Production tax and other costs were $0.41 per Mcfe in the 2002
period compared to $0.30 per Mcfe in the 2001period, an increase of 37%. The
increase is primarily due to higher production taxes associated with the Prize
properties which have a higher production mix of onshore properties.

Our gross margin for oil and gas operations (oil and gas revenues less
lease operating expenses) for the 2002 period was $44.2 million, or $2.24 per
Mcfe, compared to $21.7 million, or $2.36 per Mcfe in the 2001 period, a
decrease of 5% on a per unit of production basis, primarily a result of a 26%
increase in lease operating expense per Mcfe, partially offset by a 3% increase
in the product price received per Mcfe.

Gathering, Marketing and Processing Operations:

For the three months ended September 30, 2002, our gas gathering system
throughput was 15.7 MMcf/day versus 15.5 MMcf/day for the same period in 2001,
an increase of 1%. Gas processing throughput was 25.9 MMcf/day in 2002 versus
14.3 MMcf/day in 2001, an increase of 81%. This increase is primarily due to the
acquisition of a 100% owned interest in the Elmore City processing plant as a
result of the Prize merger.

Revenues from gas gathering, marketing and processing increased 45% to $5.5
million in 2002 versus $3.8 million in 2001. Operating costs for the gas
gathering, marketing and processing segment increased 31% to $4.0 million in
2002 from $3.1 million in 2001. Both the revenues and operating cost increases
were a product of increased gas processing throughput.

The gross margin realized from gas gathering, marketing and processing for
2002 was $1.4 million versus $692 thousand in 2001, an increase of 107%. The gas
gathering margin was $0.17 per Mcf gathered in 2002 versus $0.19 per Mcf in
2001. The gas processing margin was $0.49 per Mcf in 2002 compared to $0.32 per
Mcf in 2001, due to the addition of the Elmore City plant and improved plant
processing spreads.

Oil Field Management Services Operations:

Revenues from oil field management services increased 271% to $1.0 million
in the third quarter of 2002 versus $273 thousand in the third quarter of 2001.
This increase is primarily due to the Prize merger. Operating costs increased to
$728 thousand in 2002 from $201 thousand in 2001, also due to the Prize merger.
The gross margin for this segment in 2002 was $285 thousand versus $72 thousand
in 2001, an increase of 296%, due to overhead costs charged.

Other Income and Expenses:

Depreciation and depletion expense was $24.3 million in the 2002 period
versus $12.2 million in the 2001 period, a result of increased production due to
the Prize merger. Depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties was $1.18
per Mcfe produced in 2002 versus $1.30 per Mcfe produced in 2001. This 9%
decrease in the equivalent unit cost was due primarily to longer reserve life
associated with the Prize properties acquired when compared to the higher costs
in the 2001 period from the shorter life Gulf of Mexico activities.

General and administrative expense for 2002 increased 41% to $2.9 million
from $2.0 million in 2001. The primary cause for this increase was an increase
in salary, benefits and retirement plan expenses and an increase in the
Company's overall headcount associated with its merger with Prize. We recorded
equity in earnings of affiliate of $534 thousand in 2002 versus earnings of $334
thousand in 2001. This increase was due to net earnings from gas marketing
operations of the Company's 30% owned gas marketing affiliate. Other income was
$93 thousand for 2002 versus $67 thousand in 2001, caused by an increase in
interest income. The Company recognized a $1.5 million loss in other non-cash
hedging adjustments in 2002 versus a $1.1 million loss in 2001. In the 2002
period, $1.3 million of the hedging loss relates to the amortization of
commodity hedge assets acquired in the Prize merger, while $0.2 million was due
to recording hedge ineffectiveness.

20



Interest expense was $13.5 million for 2002 versus $4.3 million for 2001.
Interest expense increased as a result of the addition of $300 million in 9.6%
Senior Notes and an increase in the borrowing base and amount outstanding on the
Facility, both created in connection with the Prize merger. Additional interest
expense was recorded as a result of new capital leases, vendor financed loans,
and non-recourse indebtedness.

We recorded income tax expense of $1.7 million on income before tax of $4.4
million in 2002 versus income tax expense of $1.2 million on income before tax
of $3.2 million in 2001, resulting in a 38% effective rate in both periods. The
2001 period provision included a $1.9 million current provision due to
alternative minimum tax regulations.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

We reported net income of $12.4 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, compared to net income of $22.3 million for the same period in 2001.
Net income was unfavorably impacted in the 2002 period by lower average sale
prices for oil and gas, higher general and administrative expenses related to
nonrecurring activities associated with the Prize merger, and amortization
expense incurred on derivative instruments acquired in the Prize merger. The
unfavorable effects were partially offset in the 2002 period by the elimination
of a $7.1 million valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets,
which resulted in a net tax benefit of $3.5 million being recognized in the 2002
period. Total operating revenues increased 55% to $192.1 million in 2002 on
higher volumes of oil and gas produced as a result of the Prize merger.
Operating profit was $49.1 million in 2002, versus $48.7 for the same period in
2001. Both basic and diluted earning per share were $0.21 in the 2002 period
versus $0.64 and $0.60, respectively, in the 2001 period.

Oil and Gas Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we reported oil production of
2.9 million barrels and gas production of 35.7 billion cubic feet, which
represents an increase of 185% in oil produced and an increase of 97% in gas
produced from the comparable period in 2001. Our reported equivalent daily rate
of production on a million cubic feet per day basis (MMcfe/day) increased 119%
to 194.4 MMcfe/day in the 2002 period. These increases were primarily the result
of the merger with Prize and the success of our drilling program offsetting
normal production declines.

Oil revenues increased $43.1 million or 164% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Production gains of 1.9
million barrels increased oil revenues by $45.0 million, while a price decline
of 7% decreased oil revenues by $1.9 million. Gas revenues increased $26.3
million in the nine month period in 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. A
gas price decrease of $1.45 per Mcf, or a 33% decline, decreased gas revenue by
$26.2 million in the 2002 period compared to the same period in 2001. The price
decreases were offset by an increase of $52.5 million in gas revenues as a
result of a 17.6 billion cubic feet increase in gas production for the 2002
period.

From time to time the Company enters into various hedging contracts in
order to reduce our exposure to the possibility of declining oil and gas prices.
During the 2002 period, hedging decreased the average price we received for oil
by $0.83 per barrel and increased the average price we received for gas by $0.17
per Mcf. During the 2002 period, the Company had approximately 65.0 Mmcf/d
hedged through fixed price swaps with a weighted average price of $2.88 per
MMbtu and approximately 21.4 Mmcf/d hedged through cost-less collars with a
weighted average floor price of $3.82 per MMbtu and a weighted average ceiling
price of $4.67 per MMbtu. Approximately 66% of the 2002 period natural gas
production was hedged. On the crude side, the Company had approximately 3,800
Bbls/d hedged through fixed price swaps with a weighted average price of $25.37
per barrel and approximately 2,750 Bbls/d hedged through cost-less collars with
a weighted average floor price of $20.93 per barrel and a weighted average
ceiling price of $26.79 per barrel. Approximately 62% of the 2002 period crude
oil production was hedged. For the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company has 60.0
MMcf/d hedged through fixed price swaps with a weighted average price of $2.87
per MMbtu and approximately 8.0 MMcf/d hedged through cost-less collars with a
weighted average floor price of $4.07 per MMbtu and a weighted average ceiling
price of $5.52 per MMbtu. In addition, the Company has hedged 5,000 Bbls/d of
fourth quarter 2002 crude production through fixed price swaps with a weighted
average price of $25.27 per barrel and 4,500 Bbls/d hedged through cost-less
collars with a weighted average floor price of $21.27 per barrel and a weighted
average ceiling price of $26.79 per barrel.

Lease operating expenses consist of two primary components, lifting costs
and production tax and other costs. For the 2002 period, lifting costs were
$38.4 million versus $15.0 million in the 2001 period, an increase of 156%.
Production

21



taxes and other costs were $20.3 million in the 2002 period versus $9.9
million in the 2001 period, an increase of 105%. Both increases were primarily
attributable to the Prize merger. For the 2002 period, lifting costs, on a unit
of production basis, were $0.73 per Mcfe as compared to $0.62 per Mcfe in the
2001 period, an increase of 18% due to an increase in workover and remedial
expense as well as higher recurring costs associated with oil production
acquired with the Prize properties. Production tax and other costs were $0.38
per Mcfe in the 2002 period compared to $0.41 per Mcfe in the 2001 period, a
decrease of 7% due to lower production taxes, which are a function of lower oil
and gas prices on a unit basis.

Our gross margin for oil and gas operations (oil and gas revenues less
lease operating expenses) for the 2002 period was $117.3 million, or $2.21 per
Mcfe, compared to $81.8 million, or $3.37 per Mcfe in the 2001 period, a
decrease of 34% on a per unit of production basis, primarily a result of a 25%
decline in the product price received per Mcfe and a 8% increase in lease
operating expense per Mcfe.

Gathering, Marketing and Processing Operations:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, our gas gathering system
throughput was 15.4 MMcfe/day compared to 16.1 MMcfe/day for the same period in
2001, a decline of 5% due to normal well production declines behind the system.
Gas processing throughput was 21.9 MMcf/day in 2002 versus 13.6 MMcf/day in
2001, an increase of 60%. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of a
100% owned interest in the Elmore City processing plant as a result of the Prize
merger.

Revenues from gas gathering, marketing and processing decreased 13% to
$13.6 million in 2002 versus $15.7million in 2001. We received lower prices for
natural gas liquids and plant products sold in the 2002 period compared to the
2001 period. Operating costs for the gas gathering, marketing and processing
segment decreased 28% to $10.2 million in 2002 from $14.1 million in 2001. Lower
natural gas prices paid also affected the cost of gas marketed and processed.
The 2001 period was also impacted by adverse gas imbalance pricing effects.

The gross margin realized from gas gathering, marketing and processing for
2002 was $3.5 million versus $1.6 million in 2001, an increase of 114%. The gas
gathering margin was $0.14 per Mcf gathered in 2002 versus $0.08 per Mcf
gathered in 2001, due to an increase in marketing spreads and due to the fact
that the 2001 period was unfavorably impacted by adverse gas imbalance pricing.
The gas processing margin was $0.44 per Mcf in 2002 compared to $0.34 per Mcf in
2001, due to the addition of the Elmore City plant and improved plant processing
spreads.

Oil Field Management Services Operations:

Revenues from oil field management services increased 76% to $2.5 million
for the 2002 period versus $1.4 million in the 2001 period. This increase is
primarily due to the Prize merger. Operating costs increased to $1.5 million in
2002 from $955 thousand in 2001, also due to the Prize merger. The gross margin
for this segment in 2002 was $909 thousand versus $439 thousand in 2001, an
increase of 107%, due to overhead costs charged.

Other Income and Expenses:

Depreciation and depletion expense was $62.9 million in the 2002 period
versus $29.3 million in the 2001 period, a result of increased production due to
the Prize merger. Depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties was $1.19
per Mcfe produced in 2002 versus $1.21 per Mcfe produced in 2001. This 2%
decrease in the equivalent unit cost was due primarily to the lower depletion
rate as the result of the inclusion of the properties acquired in the Prize
merger.

General and administrative expense for 2002 increased 65% to $9.6 million
from $5.8 million in 2001. One cause of this increase was an increase in salary,
benefits and retirement plan expenses and an increase in the Company's overall
headcount associated with its merger with Prize. We also incurred approximately
$858 thousand in nonrecurring legal and accounting services involved with
various registration statements and $251 thousand in transitional payroll costs
associated with the Prize merger in the 2002 period. We recorded equity in
earnings of affiliate of $916 thousand in 2002 versus earnings of $1.2 million
in 2001. This decrease was due to reduced net earnings from gas marketing
operations of the Company's 30% owned gas marketing affiliate. Other income was
$258 thousand for 2002 versus $224 thousand in 2001, caused by an increase in
interest income. We recognized a permanent impairment loss of $621 thousand on
an investment

22



held for resale in 2002 versus none in 2001. The Company recognized a $5.4
million loss in other non-cash hedging adjustments in 2002 versus a $0.6 million
gain in 2001. In the 2002 period, $4.8 million of the loss relates to the
amortization of commodity hedge assets acquired in the Prize merger, while $0.6
million was the result of hedge ineffectiveness.

Interest expense was $34.6 million for 2002 versus $14.3 million for 2001.
Interest expense increased as a result of the addition of $300 million in 9.6%
Senior Notes and an increase in the borrowing base and amount outstanding on the
Facility, both created in connection with the Prize merger. Additional interest
expense was recorded as a result of new capital leases, vendor financed loans,
and non-recourse indebtedness.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $3.5 million on income before tax of
$9.6 million in 2002 versus income tax expense of $13.8 million on income before
tax of $36.3 million in 2001, resulting in a negative 36% effective rate in the
2002 period compared to a 38% effective rate in the 2001 period. In the 2002
period, the Company was able to eliminate the $7.1 million valuation allowance
on its NOL balances as a result of the merger with Prize. We also incurred an
extraordinary loss due to early extinguishment of debt of $621 thousand in the
2002 period versus $304 thousand in the 2001 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

CASH FLOW AND WORKING CAPITAL. Net cash provided by operating activities
for the nine month periods in 2002 and 2001 was $39.2 million and $79.2 million,
respectively. The substantial decrease in our operating cash flows in 2002 from
2001 was primarily the result of a reduction of balances due on payables that
had accumulated at year-end and from the merger with Prize. Our net working
capital position at September 30, 2002 was a deficit of $22.3 million, which
included a $30.7 million net current derivative liability on commodity and
interest rate hedges. On that date, the Company also had $82.4 million available
to be drawn under its Senior Bank credit facility (the "Facility").

INVESTING ACTIVITIES: Net cash used in investing activities was $85.8
million for the nine months in 2002. We made capital expenditures of $98.2
million under our capital budget during 2002. Our capital expenditures are
discussed in further detail below. For 2002, we also received proceeds from the
sale of assets of $56.6 million, made a loan of $2.4 million to a minority owned
affiliate, paid $4l.1 million associated with the merger of Prize, and made an
investment in an unconsolidated affiliate of $604 thousand.

Net cash used in investing activities was $152.9 million for the nine
months in 2001. We made capital expenditures of $153.3 million during the first
nine months of 2001. Our capital expenditures are discussed in further detail
below. Additionally, we received a distribution of $1.6 million from an
unconsolidated affiliate and we made an investment in an unconsolidated
affiliate of $2.0 million. We realized proceeds of $706 thousand from sale of
assets and received payments on promissory notes receivable totaling $66
thousand during the 2001 period.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Net cash provided by financing activities was $48.4
million for the nine months in 2002. We borrowed a total of $610.7 million,
including $300 million in new 9.6% Senior Notes during the period. We also
repaid borrowings of $534.5 million, including $155.7 million to pay off the
Company's previous bank credit facility, $245.8 million to pay off the Prize
bank credit facility in connection with the merger, and the remainder to pay
other indebtedness. We paid $11.9 million in fees related to the newly issued
Senior Notes and the new Facility, loaned $2.7 million to the ESOP, purchased
treasury stock for $14.2 million, purchased warrants for $98 thousand, made a
loan to a stockholder and executive officer for $300 thousand, received payment
on a loan to a stockholder and executive officer of $300 thousand, had an
increase in restricted cash of $329 thousand, and had net proceeds from the
issuance of common stock of $1.4 million. Our financing activities are discussed
in further detail below.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $76.8 million for the nine
months in 2001. We borrowed $232.0 million under our senior bank credit lines.
We repaid borrowings under our Facility of $146.6 million, made payments of $145
thousand on production payment and other loans and repurchased $10.5 million
principal value of our 10% Senior Notes on the open market for $10.8 million. We
received $3.2 million in cash from the issuance of common stock. We paid $825
thousand for fees related to financing activities, made a loan to stockholder of
$300 thousand, received repayment of stockholder loans of $360 thousand, made a
loan to the ESOP of $749 thousand and purchased treasury stock for $1.0 million.
Cash dividends paid were $169 thousand in 2001.

CAPITAL RESOURCES. The following discussion of Magnum Hunter's capital
resources refers to the Company and its affiliates (not including Bluebird for
the 2001 period). Internally generated cash flow and the borrowing capacity
under its Facility are the Company's major sources of liquidity. From time to
time, the Company may also sell non-strategic properties in order to increase
liquidity. In addition, the Company may use other sources of capital, including
the issuance of additional debt securities or equity securities, as sources to
fund acquisitions or other specific needs. In the past, the Company has accessed
both the public and private capital markets to provide liquidity for specific
activities and general corporate purposes.

The Company amended and restated its Facility in conjunction with the
merger with Prize. The amended Facility provides for total borrowings of $500
million, up from $225 million, and raised the borrowing base limit from $160
million to $300 million. Additionally, the expiration date of the Facility was
amended and extended to March 2005. After March 15, 2002, the Facility was used
to i) fund the cash component of the merger consideration paid to the Prize
shareholders, ii) pay certain costs associated with the merger, and iii) for
general corporate purposes. In connection with the sale of oil and gas
properties described below, the borrowing base was voluntarily reduced to $250
million on September 3, 2002.

On March 15, 2002, the Company completed a private placement in the amount
of $300 million of new unsecured Senior Notes due 2012. Interest on these Senior
Notes bears a fixed annual rate of 9.6% due semi-annually, commencing September
15, 2002. Funds received from the issuance of these notes were used to i) retire
outstanding indebtedness under the Prize commercial bank credit facility, ii)
pay fees related to the issuance of the Senior Notes, and iii) for general
corporate purposes.

Subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements for the
period ended March 31, 2002, the Company's management determined that the
Company was not in compliance with the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined
by the Facility), of the amended and restated Facility, at March 31, 2002. The
Company obtained a waiver from its lenders as of March 31, 2002 and negotiated
an amendment dated July 3, 2002 which adjusted the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio
(as defined by the Facility) to be less restrictive for the next four successive
quarters ending March 31, 2003. The Company was in compliance with the revised
financial covenants under the amended Facility at September 30, 2002, and
believes it will be able to comply with the revised financial covenants in the
future.

On January 15, 2002, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction
on three newly constructed production platforms and associated pipelines located
in the Gulf of Mexico that were recently placed into service. The Company
received total proceeds of $11.2 million in new funding which were used for
general corporate purposes. The production platforms are being leased from a
syndicate group of lenders over a term of three years and at a cost of funds
based on the one month LIBOR, currently yielding a cost of approximately 5.2%
per annum. For financial statement reporting purposes, this transaction was
accounted for as a capital lease and was included in long-term debt.

On March 15, 2002, the Company repaid its 7% notes payable to certain
vendors in the total amount of $4.0 million plus accrued interest. On March 14,
2002, the company borrowed an additional $2.5 million to finance its insurance
premium for the year under a new note bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.25% per
annum and with a maturity date of December 14, 2002.

On March 7, 2002, Canvasback entered into a $10.0 million revolving credit
agreement with a financial institution. The credit agreement provides for both
LIBOR and prime based interest rate options (6.5% interest rate at September 30,
2002). On June 30, 2002, the remaining revolving loan balance of $5.8 million
converted to a term loan, repayable on March 7, 2004, together with accrued
interest. Proceeds from the loan were used to purchase the same amount in face
value of the Company's 10% Senior Notes, which were acquired in 2001 by the
Company and are being held as an investment. These 10% Senior Notes, together
with $4.7 million of 10% Senior Notes formerly owned by Bluebird and contributed
to Canvasback in its initial capitalization, serve as the only collateral for
the loan. On September 12, 2002 the terms of the credit agreement were amended
to allow for additional advances of approximately $1.2 million. Canvasback may
use the additional advances to purchase incremental 10% Senior Notes of the
Company or to make an advance or pay a dividend to an affiliate. The loan is
non-recourse to the Company.

On May 1, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors announced an expansion of
the Company's existing stock repurchase program originally established in June
2001. The Company or its affiliates were authorized to repurchase up to two
million shares of the Company's common stock. By July 16, 2002, two million
shares had been repurchased under the program,

24



including 1,943,300 shares in 2002 at a cost of $14.2 million. On October
17, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new 3,000,000 share
repurchase program.

Effective September 1, 2002, the Company sold approximately 41 billion
cubic feet equivalent of proved producing reserves to a new private limited
partnership in which the Company is the general partner with a 5% initial
ownership interest. The sales proceeds of $49.0 million ($46.6 million net to
the Company) were used to reduce bank debt. Also, effective September 1, 2002,
the Company sold approximately 7.1 billion cubic feet equivalent of proved
producing reserves at various auctions for $8.0 million, the proceeds of which
were also used to reduce bank debt. Total proceeds from the sale of oil and gas
properties through September 30, 2002, have been $56.6 million, of which $53.9
million is attributable to properties acquired in the Prize merger. These sales
are part of the Company's plan to sell up to $95 million of non-core oil and gas
assets during fiscal 2002, with proceeds used to reduce overall indebtedness as
the Company seeks to improve its debt-to-equity ratio and streamline its
operations. Additional non-core properties are expected to be sold in the fourth
quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003.

In January 2001, the remaining 50% of the Company's outstanding 1999 Series
A 8% Convertible preferred stock was converted by the holder to the Company's
common stock at the conversion price of $5.25 per share. The Company no longer
has any dividend paying preferred stock outstanding to a non-affiliated entity.

On a semi-annual basis, the Company's borrowing base under its Facility is
redetermined by the financial institutions who have committed to the Company
based on their review of the Company's proved oil and gas reserves. If the
outstanding senior bank debt exceeds the redetermined borrowing base, the
Company must repay the excess. The next redetermination date will be no later
than December 31, 2002.

The Company's internally generated cash flow, results of operations, and
financing for its operations are substantially dependent on oil and gas prices.
To the extent that oil and gas prices decline, the Company's earnings and cash
flows may be adversely affected. The Company believes that its cash flow from
operations, existing working capital and availability under its new Facility
will be sufficient to meet interest payments and to fund the capital expenditure
budget for the year 2002.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. During the 2002 period, the Company's total capital
expenditures were $98.2 million, excluding the $602.3 million in properties
acquired through the Prize merger. Exploration activities accounted for $23.5
million, development activities accounted for $66.2 million, additions to
unproved properties not accounted for as exploration or development expenditures
accounted for $7.4 million, and additions to other assets accounted for $1.1
million of the capital expenditures. The Company participated in the drilling of
86 wells during the 2002 period, of which 70 were onshore and 16 were offshore
in the Gulf of Mexico. Fourteen of the offshore wells were considered
successful. Of the 86 wells drilled, 16 were exploratory wells, of which 13 were
successful, and 70 were development wells, of which 69 were successful. As of
September 30, 2002, the Company had total unproved oil and gas property costs of
$154.0 million, consisting of $125.7 million acquired in the merger with Prize
and $28.3 million of other property acquisition costs.

For calendar year 2002, the Company has budgeted approximately $115 million
for exploration and development activities. The Company is not contractually
obligated to proceed with any of its material budgeted capital expenditures. The
amount and allocation of future capital expenditures will depend on a number of
factors that are not entirely within the Company's control or ability to
forecast, including drilling results, oilfield service costs, and changes in oil
and gas prices. As a result, actual capital expenditures may vary significantly
from current expectations. In the normal course of business, the Company reviews
opportunities for the possible acquisition of oil and gas reserves and
activities related thereto. When potential acquisition opportunities are deemed
consistent with the Company's growth strategy, bids or offers in amounts and
with terms acceptable to the Company may be submitted. It is uncertain whether
any such bids or offers which may be submitted by the Company from time to time,
will be acceptable to the sellers. In the event of a future significant
acquisition, the Company may require additional financing in connection
therewith.

Inflation and Changes in Prices

During the 2002 period, the Company experienced decreases in the price for
both oil and gas compared to the same period in the previous year. The results
of operations and cash flow of the Company have been, and will continue to be,
affected by the volatility in oil and gas prices. Should the Company experience
a significant increase in oil and gas prices that is sustained over a prolonged
period, it would expect that there would also be a corresponding increase in oil
and gas finding costs, lease acquisition costs, and operating expenses.
Periodically, the Company enters into hedging contracts to reduce the effects of
significant fluctuations in crude oil and gas prices. The Company may hedge the
greater of (i) 90% of its overall daily crude oil production and 75% of its
overall daily natural gas production or (ii) 75% of its combined oil and gas
production. A portion of the Company's oil and natural gas production will be
subject to price fluctuations unless the Company enters into additional hedging
transactions. For the remainder of 2002, the Company has approximately 65% of
its combined crude oil and natural gas production hedged on a Mcfe basis.

The Company markets oil and gas for its own account, which exposes the
Company to the attendant commodities risk. A significant portion of the
Company's gas production is currently sold to a 30% owned affiliate, NGTS, LLC,
or end-users either on the spot market on a month-to-month basis at prevailing
spot market prices, or under long-term contracts based on current spot market
prices. The Company normally sells its oil under month-to-month contracts to a
variety of purchasers.

Hedging

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", as extended by SFAS No. 137 (June 1999) and amended by SFAS No. 138
(June 2000), was effective for the Company beginning January 2001. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires the recognition of derivatives in the balance
sheet and the measurement of those instruments at fair value.

The Company was obligated to twelve crude oil derivatives, sixteen natural
gas derivatives, and two interest rate derivatives on September 30, 2002. The
Company has determined that all outstanding derivatives qualify as cash flow
hedges and for hedge treatment as defined within SFAS No. 133, which requires
the Company to record the derivative assets or liabilities at their fair value
on its balance sheet with an offset to other comprehensive income. Hedge
ineffectiveness on the cash-flow hedges is recorded in earnings.

26



At September 30, 2002, the fair value of the Company's derivatives were as
follows (in thousands):


Derivative Assets
- -----------------------
Natural gas collars........................ $ 267
------------------
Total derivative assets.................... $ 267
------------------
Derivative Liabilities
- -----------------------
Natural gas collars........................ $ 13,390
Natural gas swaps.......................... 16,831
Crude oil collars.......................... 2,608
Crude oil swaps............................ 4,141
Interest rate swaps........................ 1,340
------------------
Total derivative liabilities............... $ 38,310
------------------
Net derivative liabilities................. $ 38,043
==================

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, the income
statement includes a non-cash hedging ineffectiveness loss of $245 thousand and
$622 thousand, respectively, related to the crude oil and natural gas
derivatives and a non-cash loss of $1.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively,
related to the amortization of hedge contracts purchased in the Prize merger.
The remaining amortization amounts relating to hedge contracts acquired in the
Prize merger that will be reclassified into the income statement in 2002, 2003
and 2004 are $1.3 million loss, $1.3 million gain and $0.8 million gain,
respectively. It is estimated that $18.7 million of other comprehensive loss
will be reclassified into the income statement during the next 12 months.

New Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 142 - SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", became
effective for the Company January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other
things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. Any goodwill resulting from
acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. In addition,
SFAS No. 142 establishes a new method of testing goodwill that could reduce the
fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Any goodwill impairment
loss will be recorded in operations. The Company recorded goodwill of $63.2
million as the result of our merger with Prize Energy Corp. on March 15, 2002.
The adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have an impact on our consolidated
financial statements on January 1, 2002.

SFAS No. 143 - SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations",
will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143
requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any retirement obligation
associated with long-lived assets. The offset to any liability recorded is added
to the recorded asset where the additional amount is depreciated over the same
period as the long-lived asset for which the retirement obligation is
established. SFAS No. 143 also requires additional disclosures. We are in the
process of evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 143 to our
existing operations.

SFAS No. 144 - SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2002.
SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework
established in SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale and resolves significant implementation issues related to
SFAS No. 121.

SFAS No. 145 - SFAS No. 145, "Recission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and
64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" will be
effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. The Statement rescinds,
updates, clarifies and simplifies various existing accounting pronouncements.
SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt", which required all gains and losses from extinguishment
of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item,
net of related income tax effect. As a result,

27



SFAS No. 145 will require the Company to reclassify extraordinary items for
debt extinguishment costs which do not meet the criteria as described in APB
Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions", as additional interest expense. The Company plans to
adopt this statement beginning January 1, 2003.

SFAS No. 146 - In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 146 ("SFAS No. 146"), "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146
supercedes EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". Statement 146 is to be applied
prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company's operations are exposed to market risks primarily as a result
of changes in commodity prices and interest rates. The Company does not use
derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Energy swap agreements. The Company produces, purchases, and sells crude
oil, natural gas, condensate, and natural gas liquids. As a result, the
Company's financial results can be significantly impacted as these commodity
prices fluctuate widely in response to changing market forces and conditions.
The Company has previously engaged in oil and gas hedging activities and intends
to continue to consider various hedging arrangements to realize commodity prices
which it considers favorable. The Company engages in hedging contracts for a
portion of its oil and gas production through various contracts ("Swap
Agreements"). The primary objective of these activities is to protect against
significant decreases in price during the term of the hedge.

The Swap Agreements provide for separate contracts tied to the New York
Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") light sweet oil and Henry Hub natural gas, and the
Inside FERC natural gas index price posting ("Index"). The Company has contracts
which contain specific contracted prices ("Swaps") that are settled monthly
based on the differences between the contract prices and the specified Index
prices for each month applied to the related contract volumes. To the extent the
Index exceeds the contract price, the Company pays the spread, and to the extent
the contract price exceeds the Index price, the Company receives the spread. In
addition, the Company has combined contracts which have agreed upon price floors
and ceilings ("Costless collars"). To the extent the Index price exceeds the
contract ceiling, the Company pays the spread between the ceiling and the Index
price applied to the related contract volumes. To the extent the contract floor
exceeds the Index, the Company receives the spread between the contract floor
and the Index price applied to the related contract volumes.

To the extent the Company receives the spread between the contract floor
and the Index price applied to related contract volumes, the Company has a
credit risk in the event of nonperformance of the counterparty to the agreement.
The Company does not anticipate any material impact to its results of operations
as a result of nonperformance by such parties.

Due to hedge contracts acquired in the Prize merger, the Company is
contractually obligated to a counter-party to provide a margin deposit in the
form of cash or bank letter of credit should the aggregate fair value of hedge
contracts held with the counter-party exceed a predetermined value. Margins
posted at September 30, 2002 totaled $3.2 million. The Company has not and does
not intend to enter into any new hedging contracts with institutions that
require margin deposits.

The following is a summary of the Company's open commodity hedge contracts
as of September 30, 2002:


Weighted average Weighted average

Based on future market prices at September 30, 2002, the fair value of open
contracts to the Company was a liability of $36.7 million. If future market
prices were to increase 10% from those in effect at September 30, 2002, the fair
value of open contracts to the Company would be a liability of $54.3 million. If
future market prices were to decline 10% from those in effect at September 30,
2002, the fair value of the open contracts to the Company would be a liability
of $16.4 million.

The Company may hedge the greater of (i) 90% of its overall daily crude oil
production and 75% of its overall daily natural gas production or (ii) 75% of
its combined oil and gas production. A portion of the Company's oil and natural
gas production will be subject to price fluctuations unless the Company enters
into additional hedging transactions.

Interest Rate Swaps

On August 9, 2001, the company entered into two interest rate swaps in
order to shift a portion of its variable rate bank debt to fixed rate debt. The
following table reflects the terms of these swaps:




Type Notional Amount Termination Date Pay Rate Receive Rate
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pay Fixed/Receive Variable $50,000,000 8/23/03 4.25% Fixed 3 month LIBOR
(currently 1.77%)


Based on future market rates at September 30, 2002, the fair value of open
contracts to the Company was a liability of $1.3 million. If future market rates
were to increase 10% from those in effect at September 30, 2002, the fair value
of open contracts to the Company would be a liability of $1.3 million. If future
market rates were to decline 10% from those in effect at September 30, 2002, the
fair value of the open contracts to the Company would be a liability of $1.4
million.

Fixed and Variable Rate Debt. The Company uses fixed and variable rate debt
to partially finance budgeted expenditures. These agreements expose the Company
to market risk related to changes in interest rates.

The following table presents the carrying and fair value of the Company's
debt along with average interest rates. Fair values are calculated as the net
present value of the expected cash flows of the financial instruments, except
for the fixed rate Senior Notes, which are valued at their last traded value
before September 30, 2002.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures [as defined in Rules 240.13a-14 (c) and 15d-14 (c) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934] as of a date within ninety days
before the filing date of this quarterly report. Based on that review and
evaluation, which included inquiries made to certain other employees of the
Company, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded
that the Company's current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and
implemented, are reasonably adequate to ensure that they are provided with
material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the
reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses and, therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
