Cubic Is Financially Prepared To Move Forward The drilling credit plus cash flow from operators should carry Cubic for most of its capital expenditures in calendar 2011, with capacity under the revolver filling the remaining gap, if needed. By the end of calendar 2011 we expect to have enough wells online to meaningfully increase the borrowing base on our Senior Facility, enabling us to fill any remaining gaps in our capital budget. Cubic has created significant liquidity well below market cost to the Company via its Drilling Credit with EXCO and its Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Energy Capital. Depending on the drilling program utilized by the primary operator on our acreage, production could average 15-25 MMcf/day in FY 2012 – up from less than 1 MMcf/day in FY 2009. 30-day initial production rates have climbed from 4-6 MMcf/day in early 2008 to 8-12 MMcf/day through 2009. In 2010, wells reported 24 hour flow rates in excess of 20 MMcf/day and 30 day initial production rates between 10-15 MMcf/day on a control flow basis. We estimate our Type Well will generate returns exceeding 20% at $4.00 NYMEX.

13 Natural Gas News Events May 24, 2011: First US LNG export project receives DOE approval..... with other projects in the queue.... Cheniere Energy has received approval to export 2.2 Bcf per day of domestic gas volumes from its Sabine Pass LNG Terminal. Over 7.4 Bcf per day of US liquefaction capacity could come online by 2016. Southern Union and BG submitted a joint application to construct a 2 Bcf per day liquefaction facility at Lake Charles. Freeport LNG submitted and application to construct a 1.4 Bcf per day terminal. Other projects under consideration include a 1.8 Bcf per day facility at Cove Point, Maryland and a plant at Jordon Cove, Oregon with unquantified capacity. May 9, 2011: BG, Southern Union Apply for LNG Export Permit for Louisiana BG and Southern Union Co. set up a joint venture and applied for permission from the U.S. government to export liquefied natural gas (LNG and plan to ship LNG from a gas terminal facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana and the companies will need to modify the terminal to have a capacity to liquefy about 2 billion cubic feet a day. This project is one of nine North American LNG export projects awaiting approval from regulators. April 6, 2011: Clean Energy Supports Proposed Federal Legislation that Would Expand the Use of Natural Gas Fuel for Transportation and Increase Natural Vehicle Deployment in America The Nat Gas Act of 2011, a bill introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives would provide increased support for the critical movement to deploy large numbers of natural gas vehicles in the U.S. April 5, 2011: Heckmann Corporation Teams Up with Encana Natural Gas Inc., Westport Innovations Inc. and Peterbilt Motors Company to Employ the Largest Transport Fleet of Liquefied Natural Gas Powered Trucks in North America Heckmann Corporation places single largest order for liquefied natural gas trucks by a U.S. customer (200) First major exploration and production company’s supply chain transition to natural gas NGV fleet to reduce Heckmann Water Resources’ carbon footprint in Haynesville Shale area by up to 30% and dramatically reduce fuel cost April 4, 2011: EXCO Resources, Inc. Announces Redetermination of Borrowing Base and Other Changes to Credit Agreement Lenders under its revolving credit agreement completed their regular semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base, resulting in an increase of the borrowing base from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion. March 30, 2011: The White House Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future This 44 page document outlines a three part strategy: 1. Develop and Secure America’s Energy Supplies. 2. Provide Consumers with Choices to Reduce Costs and Save Energy. 3. Innovate our Way to a Clean Energy Future. March 30, 2011: President Obama Speaks at Georgetown University – Securing America’s Energy Future Excerpts from President Obama’s speech: “And today, I want to announce a new goal, one that is reasonable , one that is achievable, and one that is necessary. When I was elected to this office, America imported 11 million barrels of oil a day. By a little more than a decade from now, we will have cut that by one-third. That is something we can achieve. We can cut our oil dependence – we can cut our oil dependence........... by a third.” “....So the only way for America’s energy supply to be truly secure is by permanently reducing our dependence on oilthe potential for natural gas is enormous. And this is an area where there’s actually been some broad bipartisan agreement. Last year, more than 150 members of Congress from both sides of the aisle produced legislation providing incentives to use clean-burning natural gas in our vehicles instead of oil. And that’s a big deal.” NOTE: Each of the above mentioned news events can be found in their entirety on Cubic’s website located at: www.CubicEnergyInc.com and click on the Presentation tab in the header.
