provided in this report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) may contain
statements relating to current expectations, estimates, forecasts and
projections about future events that are "forward-looking statements" as defined
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These

and expectations for future operations, including budget, production rates and
drilling plans in 2010, and are based upon management's current estimates and
projections of future results or trends. Actual future results may differ

issues, availability of capital and competitive
factors For further discussion of these and other risks and
uncertainties, see the "Risk Factors" disclosures in the Company's Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2009, and
