Item 5. Other Events

CODA ANNOUNCES POSSIBLE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL
Coda Energy, Inc. announced today that its Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Douglas H. Miller, has advised the Company that he is engaged in
forming an investor group, and has entered into discussions with various parties
regarding obtaining financing, for the possible cash acquisition of the Company.
Mr. Miller advised Coda that neither the terms nor the timing of any such
acquisition proposal had been determined at this time. Mr. Miller indicated,
however, that if a proposal were to be made, the acquisition price would
represent a premium to recent trading prices of Coda's common stock. The Board
of Directors of the Company has appointed a Special Committee of outside
directors for the purpose of, among other things, considering any acquisition
proposal. The Special Committee will retain independent legal counsel to advise
it and an independent investment banking firm to evaluate any acquisition
proposal.
