PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
East Texas Property Acquisition
On August 15, 2008, Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of East Texas Properties from Enduring Resources, LLC, Mustang Drilling, Inc. and Minden Gathering Services, LLC (the “Sellers”). Total net cash consideration paid by the Company in the transaction was approximately $603.7 million, which reflects the total gross purchase price of $604.4 million adjusted by $0.7 million comprised of a $1.7 million decrease for the impact of purchase price adjustments, including adjustments based on each party’s share of production proceeds received, expenses paid and capital costs incurred for periods before and after the effective date of the acquisition of May 1, 2008, and a $1.0 million increase for the impact of transaction costs, which were primarily legal and accounting costs. The purchase price is subject to additional post-closing adjustments based on production proceeds received and expenses paid as well as any expenses for title or environmental defects related to the properties that exceed certain deductible amounts.
The producing oil and gas properties located in Panola and Rusk counties, Texas comprise approximately 25,000 gross leasehold acres with a 97% average working interest near the Company’s existing Minden field. Most of the producing properties were operated by the Sellers. In addition, the acquisition includes a natural gas gathering infrastructure of 31 miles of pipeline, 5,400 horsepower of compression and four water disposal wells. The Company estimates that proved reserves included in the acquisition were approximately 182 Bcfe as of August 1, 2008 (allocated mainly to the Cotton Valley formation). As of December 31, 2007, the Sellers had estimated proved developed reserves of approximately 21.9 Bcfe.
The Company funded the acquisition with a combination of the net proceeds from its June 2008 sale of 5,002,500 shares of common stock and the net proceeds from its July 2008 private placement of $425 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured fixed rate notes. Additionally, in order to mitigate the exposure to price fluctuations of natural gas and crude oil, the Company entered into 12 contracts for natural gas price swaps and three contracts for crude oil swaps in the second quarter of 2008, which covers production associated with the acquired properties for the second half of 2008 through 2010.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The following unaudited pro forma financial statements and related footnotes give effect to the acquisition of properties in east Texas from the Sellers as discussed above. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 combine the Company’s historical condensed consolidated statements of operations with the revenues and direct operating expenses of the properties acquired from the Sellers and includes pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at June 30, 2008 combines the Company’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet with pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition occurred on June 30, 2008.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Article 11 of
Regulation S-X, pro forma adjustments include the effects of events that are directly attributable to the acquisition and are factually supportable. As actual adjustments may differ from pro forma adjustments, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared for informational purposes only. It is not intended to be indicative of the Company’s results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, or the Company’s future results of operations or financial position.
These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

In the East Texas Properties Statement of Combined Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses, these charges are shown as a separate expense component of Operating Expenses. |
| (b) | Adjustment to record incremental depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense as well as accretion expense recorded in accordance with the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities based on the purchase price allocation to depreciable and depletable assets. To calculate pro forma DD&A, the unit-of-production method was utilized based on oil and gas property costs, reserve volumes and future development and abandonment costs after taking into account the effect of the acquisition. Accretion of asset retirement obligation on the East Texas Properties acquired was calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143 in a manner consistent with the Company’s historical treatment of these costs. |
| (c) | Adjustment to record incremental undeveloped leasehold amortization. A portion of the costs attributable to unproved properties are subject to amortization based on past experience and average property lives. Average property lives are determined on a regional basis and based on the estimated life of unproved property leasehold rights. The average property life used for this calculation was 5 years. |
| (d) | Adjustment for additional interest expense of approximately $13.8 million and $27.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, related to the east Texas property acquisition.

CABOT OIL & GAS CORPORATION
PRO FORMA SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (Unaudited)
Oil and Gas Reserves
The following table contains certain disclosures regarding the Company’s historical proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2007, giving effect to the east Texas property acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2007. These disclosures were based on estimates prepared by the Company’s engineers and from information provided by the Sellers. The estimates were computed based on year-end prices for oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. The following estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, both developed and undeveloped, represent interests in the East Texas Properties acquired by the Company from Sellers as described above, and are solely located within the United States.
Proved reserves represent estimated quantities of natural gas, crude oil and condensate that geological and engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under economic and operating conditions in effect when the estimates were made. Proved developed reserves are proved reserves expected to be recovered through wells and equipment in place and under operating methods used when the estimates were made. Proved undeveloped reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered through new wells on undrilled acreage, or through existing wells that require relatively major expenditures for completion.
Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of “proved” and “proved developed” natural gas and crude oil reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. As a result, revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates included in the financial statement disclosures.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
The following table contains pro forma supplemental oil and gas disclosures regarding the Company’s discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas properties at December 31, 2007, giving effect to the east Texas property acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2007. The following information has been developed utilizing procedures under SFAS No. 69,“Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities,” and based on natural gas and crude oil reserve and production volumes estimated by the Company’s engineering staff and information provided by the Sellers to the Company regarding the East Texas Properties. The information in the following tables may not represent realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor does it intend to represent the fair market value of the Company or the East Texas Properties. This information is intended to present a standardized disclosure concerning possible future net cash flows that would result using the assumptions discussed below.
The Company believes that the following factors should be taken into account when reviewing the following information:
| • | | Future costs and selling prices will probably differ from those required to be used in these calculations. |
| • | | Due to future market conditions and governmental regulations, actual rates of production in future years may vary significantly from the rate of production assumed in the calculations. |
| • | | Selection of a 10% discount rate is arbitrary and may not be a reasonable measure of the relative risk that is part of realizing future net oil and gas revenues. |
| • | | Future net revenues may be subject to different rates of income taxation. |
Future cash inflows were estimated by applying year end oil and gas prices to the estimated future production of year end proved reserves. Future cash inflows were reduced by estimated future development and production costs based on year end costs to arrive at net cash flow before tax.
