As requested, we are submitting our estimates of proved reserves and our forecasts of the

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, the operating
income (BFIT) has been discounted at an annual rate of 10% to determine its present worth. The
discounted value, present worth, shown above should not be construed to represent an estimate of
the fair market value by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc.
The annual average Henry Hub spot market gas price of $3.866 per MMBtu and the annual average
Plains WTI posted oil price of $57.65 per barrel were used. In accordance with the Securities and
Exchange Commission guidelines, these prices are determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of
the first-day-of-the-month price for each month of 2009. The oil and gas prices were held constant
and were adjusted for gravity, heating value, quality, transportation and marketing.
Operating costs were based on estimates provided by Concho Resources. For non-operated
properties, these costs include the overhead expenses allowed under existing joint operating
agreements. Drilling and completion costs were based on estimates provided by Concho Resources and
reviewed by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates. As per the Securities and Exchange Commission
guidelines, neither expenses nor investments were escalated. The cost of plugging and the salvage
value of equipment have not been considered.
The proved reserve classifications conform to criteria of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. A combination of methods, including production performance analysis, analogy and
volumetric analysis, were employed in estimating the reserves. The reserves and economics are
predicated on the regulatory agency classifications, rules, policies, laws, taxes and royalties in
effect on the effective date except as noted herein. The possible effects of changes in
legislation or other Federal or State restrictive actions have not been considered. All reserve
estimates represent our best judgment based on data available at the time of preparation and
assumptions as to future economic and regulatory conditions. It should be realized that the
reserves actually recovered, the revenue derived therefrom and the actual cost incurred could be
more or less than the estimated amounts.
The reserve estimates were based on interpretations of factual data furnished by Concho
Resources. Ownership interests were supplied by Concho Resources and were accepted as furnished.
To some extent, information from public records has been used to check and/or supplement these
data. The basic engineering and geological data were utilized subject to third party reservations
and qualifications. Nothing has come to our attention, however, that would cause us to believe
that we are not justified in relying on such data. An on-site inspection of these properties has
not been made nor have the wells been tested by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc.
Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. is independent with respect to Marbob Energy Corporation
and Concho Resources Inc. as provided in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of
Oil and Gas Reserve Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Neither Cawley,
Gillespie & Associates, Inc. nor any of its employees has any interest in the subject properties.
Neither the employment to make this study nor the compensation is contingent on the results of our
work or the future production rates for the subject properties.
