This presentation includes forward-looking statements, which give the Company's current expectations or forecasts of future
events based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, such as
expectations regarding drilling plans, including the acceleration thereof, production rates and guidance, resource potential,
incremental transportation capacity, exit rate guidance, net present value, development plans, progress on infrastructure
projects, exposures to weak natural gas prices, changes in the Company's liquidity, changes in acreage positions, expected
expenses, expected capital expenditures, and projected debt balances. The assumptions of management and the future
performance of the Company are subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties and there is no assurance that
these statements and projections will be met. Factors that could affect the Company's business include, but are not limited to:
the risks associated with drilling of oil and natural gas wells; the Company's ability to find, acquire, market, develop, and produce
new reserves; the risk of drilling dry holes; oil and natural gas price volatility; derivative transactions (including the costs
associated therewith and the abilities of counterparties to perform thereunder); uncertainties in the estimation of proved,
probable, and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and reserve growth; inaccuracies in the
Company's assumptions regarding items of income and expense and the level of capital expenditures; uncertainties in the timing
of exploitation expenditures; operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas business; drilling and completion losses that
are generally not recoverable from third parties or insurance; potential mechanical failure or underperformance of significant
wells; availability and limitations of capacity in midstream marketing facilities, including processing plant and pipeline
construction difficulties and operational upsets; climatic conditions; availability and cost of material, supplies, equipment and
services; the risks associated with operating in a limited number of geographic areas; actions or inactions of third-party operators
of the Company's properties; the Company's ability to retain skilled personnel; diversion of management's attention from existing
operations while pursuing acquisitions or dispositions; availability of capital; the strength and financial resources of the
Company's competitors; regulatory developments; environmental risks; uncertainties in the capital markets; general economic
and business conditions (including the effects of the worldwide economic recession); industry trends; and other factors detailed
in the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecasted or expected. The Company undertakes
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

For filings reporting year-end 2010 reserves, the SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves.  The
Company has elected not to report probable and possible reserves in its filings with the SEC.  We use the term “net risked
resources” to describe the Company’s internal estimates of volumes of natural gas and oil that are not classified as proved
reserves but are potentially recoverable through exploratory drilling or additional drilling or recovery techniques.  Estimates of
unproved resources are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to
substantially greater risk of actually being realized by the Company.  Estimates of unproved resources may change significantly
as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are ultimately recovered may differ substantially from prior
estimates. We use the term “BFIT NPV10” to describe the Company’s estimate of before income tax net present value discounted
at 10 percent resulting from project economic evaluation. The net present value of a project is calculated by summing future cash
flows generated by a project, both inflows and outflows, and discounting those cash flows to arrive at a present value.  Inflows
primarily include revenues generated from estimated production and commodity prices at the time of the analysis.  Outflows
include drilling and completion capital and operating expenses.  Net present value is used to analyze the profitability of a project. 
Estimates of net present value may change significantly as additional data becomes available, and with adjustments in prior
estimates of actual quantities of production and recoverable reserves, commodity prices, capital expenditures, and/or operating
expenses.
