2000 Fourth Quarter and 2001 Financial Model Estimates
<PAGE>
The document attached as Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished in this Form 8-K to
provide public disclosure of the Company's estimates to prepare financial models
of the Company's operating activities for the fourth quarter 2000 and the full-
year 2001. These estimates constitute the Company's current expectations based
on a number of assumptions. The estimates include current expectations for oil
and gas production, gas trading activities, hedged positions, tax rates and
expenses. While we believe these estimates and projections to be reasonable,
they constitute projections and other forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Actual results may differ materially due to risk and uncertainties, including
but not limited to, drilling results, industry conditions, and the price of gas
and oil. For additional information concerning important factors that may cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected, see the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the "Risk Factor" section of the
reoffer prospectus included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 9, 2000.
