CABOT OIL & GAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

During interim periods, Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation follows the same
accounting policies used in its Annual Report to Stockholders and its Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (with the addition
of SFAS 133, which was adopted on January 1, 2001 - see Note 8). People using
financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to
the footnotes in the Annual Report to Stockholders when reviewing interim
financial results. In management's opinion, the accompanying interim financial
statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for
any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
for the entire year.

Our independent accountants have performed a review of these condensed
consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Pursuant
to Rule 436(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, this report should not be
considered a part of a registration statement prepared or certified by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meanings of Section 7 and 11 of the Act.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141") and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142").
SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for under the purchase method. For all business combinations for
which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001, SFAS 141 also establishes
specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from
goodwill and requires unallocated negative goodwill to be written off
immediately as an extraordinary gain, rather than deferred and amortized. SFAS
142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets after an
acquisition. The most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are: 1) goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized; 2)
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for
impairment at least annually; and 3) the amortization period for intangible
assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years. The Company
does not believe that the adoption of these statements will have a material
effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2001, the FASB also approved for issuance SFAS 143 "Asset
Retirement Obligations." SFAS 143 establishes accounting requirements for
retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, including (1)
the timing of the liability recognition, (2) initial measurement of the
liability, (3) allocation of asset retirement cost to expense, (4) subsequent
measurement of the liability and (5) financial statement disclosures. SFAS 143
requires that an asset retirement cost should be capitalized as part of the cost
of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a
systematic and rational method. The Company will adopt the statement effective
no later than January 1, 2003, as required. The transition adjustment resulting
from the adoption of SFAS 143 will be reported as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably
estimate the effect of the adoption of this statement on its financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.

In August 2001, the FASB also approved SFAS 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 replaces
SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of."

-6-

from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing
operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The provisions of SFAS 144
are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001 and, generally, are to be applied prospectively. At this time,
the Company cannot estimate the effect of this statement on its financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT

At September 30, 2001, the Company had $97 million outstanding under its
credit facility, which provides for an available credit line of $250 million.
The available credit line is subject to adjustment from time-to-time on the
basis of the projected present value (as determined by the banks' petroleum
engineer incorporating certain assumptions provided by the lender) of estimated
future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves and other assets of the
Company. The revolving term under this credit facility presently ends in
December 2003 and is subject to renewal. We strive to manage our debt at a
level below the available credit line in order to maintain excess borrowing
capacity. At September 30, 2001, this excess capacity totaled $153 million, or
61% of the total available credit line.

In July 2001, the Company issued $170 million of 7.3% weighted average
fixed rate notes in a private placement transaction for the purpose of partially
funding the acquisition of Cody Company. These notes contain certain restrictive
convenants consistent with those in our existing debt agreements. See discussion
in Note 10.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share for the third quarter were based on the quarterly
weighted average shares outstanding of 30,644,481 in 2001 and 28,975,578 in
2000. Basic earnings per share for the first nine months of the year were based
on the year-to-date weighted average shares outstanding of 29,828,850 in 2001
and 26,830,473 in 2000. The diluted earnings per share amounts are based on
weighted average shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents. Third
quarter common stock equivalents, which include both stock awards and stock
options, totaled 354,300 in 2001 and 246,400 in 2000. For the year to date
period ended September 30, the common stock equivalents were 434,244 in 2001 and
262,783 in 2000.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY

The EPA notified Cabot Oil & Gas in February 2000 that it might have
potential liability for waste material disposed of at the Casmalia Superfund
Site ("Site"), located on a 252-acre parcel in Santa Barbara County, California.
Over 10,000 separate parties disposed of waste at the Site while it was
operational from 1973 to 1992. The EPA stated that federal, state and local
governmental agencies along with the numerous private entities that used the
Site for disposal of approximately 4.5 billion pounds of waste would be expected
to pay the clean-up costs, which are estimated by the EPA to be $271.9 million.
The EPA is also pursuing the owners/operators of the Site to pay for
remediation.

Documents received by the Company with the notification from the EPA
indicate that Cabot Oil & Gas used the Site principally to dispose of salt water
from two wells over a period from 1976 to 1979. There is no allegation that the
Company violated any laws in the disposal of material at the Site. The EPA's
actions stem from the fact that the owners/operators of the Site do not have the
financial means to implement a closure plan for the Site. A group of
potentially responsible parties, including the Company, formed a group, called

-8-

the Casmalia Negotiating Committee ("CNC"). The CNC has had extensive
settlement discussions with the EPA, has reached a settlement in principal with
the EPA and is currently negotiating a consent decree to memorialize the
settlement. Management expects our contribution to the settlement to be
approximately $1.2 to $1.3 million, which approximates our volumetric share of
EPA's cost estimate, plus a 5% premium. This cash settlement will resolve all
federal claims against the Company for response costs and will release the
Company from all response costs related to the Site. Future claims for natural
resource damage, unknown conditions, transshipment risks and claims by third
parties against the Company are to be covered by insurance to be purchased by
participating CNC members. Responsibility for certain State of California
oversight and response costs, while not covered by the settlement or insurance,
is not expected to be material.

Payment by the Company of our settlement amount will be due 30 days from
entry of the consent decree by the United States District Court for the Central
District of California, Western Division, which is not expected until 2002.
There is not a material likelihood that any insurance arrangement in place from
1976 to 1979 will allow the Company to recover our contribution to the
settlement.

Cabot Oil & Gas has established a reserve that management believes to be
adequate to provide for this environmental liability based on its estimate of
the probable outcome of this matter and estimated legal costs.

7. WYOMING ROYALTY LITIGATION

In June 2000, two overriding royalty owners sued the Company in Wyoming
State court. The plaintiffs have requested class certification under the
Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure and allege that the Company has deducted
impermissible costs of production from royalty payments to the plaintiffs and
other similarly situated persons. Additionally, the suit claims that the
Company has failed to properly inform the plaintiffs and other similarly
situated persons of the deductions taken from royalties. The two overriding
royalty owners did not claim a specific amount of damages in their complaint.

The Company believes that it has substantial defenses to this claim and
intends to vigorously assert such defenses. The Company has a reserve that it
believes is adequate to provide for this potential liability based on its
estimate of the probable outcome of this matter. While the potential impact to
the Company may materially affect quarterly or annual financial results
including cash flows, management does not believe it would materially impact the
Company's financial position.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY

On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. Under
SFAS 133, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value. If the derivative does not qualify as a hedge or is not designated as a
hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in earnings.
To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivative must qualify either as a fair
value hedge, cash flow hedge or foreign currency hedge. Currently, the Company
uses only cash flow hedges and the remaining discussion will relate exclusively
to this type of derivative instrument. If the derivative qualifies for hedge
accounting, the gain or loss on the derivative is deferred in Other
Comprehensive Income/Loss, a component of Stockholders' Equity, to the extent
the hedge is effective.

The relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item must be
highly effective in achieving the offset of changes in cash flows attributable
to the hedged risk both at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing
basis. The Company measures effectiveness on a monthly basis. Hedge accounting
is discontinued prospectively when a hedge instrument becomes ineffective.
Gains and losses deferred in accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to
cash flow hedges that become ineffective remain unchanged until the related
production is delivered. If the Company determines that it is probable that a
hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, deferred gains or losses on the
hedging instrument are recognized in earnings immediately.

Gains and losses on hedging instruments related to accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income and adjustments to carrying amounts on hedged production
are included in natural gas or crude oil production revenues in the period that
the related production is delivered. Gains and losses of hedging

-9-

instruments, which represent hedge ineffectiveness and changes in the time value
component of the fair value, are included in Change in Derivative Fair Value on
the income statement in the period in which they occur.

The Company periodically enters into derivative commodity instruments to
hedge its exposure to price fluctuation on natural gas and crude oil production.
At September 30, 2001, the Company had three types of cash flow hedges open: a
series of eight costless collar arrangements, one natural gas price swap and one
natural gas price floor. At September 30, 2001, a $9.7 million pre-tax
unrealized gain was recorded to Other Comprehensive Income along with a $0.2
million derivative liability, a derivative asset of $10.7 million and a non-cash
gain of $0.8 million. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedges, a $0.8
million gain at September 30, 2001, was recorded as a component of the Change in
Derivative Fair Value on the income statement. The remainder of the Change in
Derivative Fair Value was a $24,000 gain at September 30, 2001, representing the
time value component of the costless collar arrangement. Based on commodity
prices and other circumstances as of September 30, 2001, the Company expects to
reclass a deferred gain of $5.9 million ($9.7 million pre-tax) to earnings from
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income during the next twelve months.

For 2001, the Company has entered into costless collar arrangements for 24.4
Bcf of its natural gas production with weighted average floor and ceiling prices
of $5.59/Mcf and $9.68/Mcf. In addition, the Company had entered into a natural
gas price swap covering 0.9 Bcf of production for 2001 at a weighted average
price of $3.75/Mcf. This swap also covers 0.7 Bcf of production in 2002 at
$3.11/Mcf, and 0.4 Bcf in 2003 at $2.81/Mcf. Cody Company had purchased a
natural gas price floor prior to the merger with the Company that is in place
through December 2001. This derivative sets a $2.81/Mcf natural gas price floor
on a total of 1.3 Bcf of production from the Cody properties during August
through December 2001. This natural gas price floor was valued at $205,300 upon
acquisition and does not qualify for hedge treatment under SFAS 133. At
September 30, 2001, this derivative has been recorded at market value on the
balance sheet and the resulting gain of $0.5 million, representing the movement
of gas prices since the Cody acquisition (August 1, 2001), is included in the
period's operating revenue.

On January 1, 2001, in accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS
133, the Company recorded an after-tax loss of $2.6 million in Other
Comprehensive Loss representing the cumulative effect of an accounting change to
recognize at fair value all cash flow derivatives. The Company recorded cash
flow hedge derivative liabilities of $4.3 million and an after-tax, non-cash
loss of less than $0.1 million was recorded in earnings as a component of the
Change in Derivative Fair Value.

During the first nine months of 2001, gains of $23.7 million ($14.5 million
after tax) were transferred from Other Comprehensive Income and the Derivative
Instrument Asset on the balance sheet decreased $9.8 million ($6.0 million after
tax). During the third quarter of 2001, gains of $20.0 million ($12.2 million
after tax) were transferred from Other Comprehensive Income and the Derivative
Instrument Asset on the balance sheet decreased $31.9 million ($19.6 million
after tax).

All hedge transactions are subject to the Company's risk management policy,
approved by the Board of Directors, which does not permit speculative positions.
The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and
hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for
undertaking the hedge. This process includes specific identification of the
hedging instrument and the hedge transaction, the nature of the risk being
hedged and how the hedging instrument's effectiveness will be assessed. Both at
the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company assesses whether
the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in
offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

9. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes net income and certain items recorded directly
to stockholders' equity and classified as Other Comprehensive Income. The
Company recorded Other Comprehensive Income for the first time in January of
2001. Following the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company recorded an after-tax
credit to Other Comprehensive Income of $5.9 million in the first nine months of
2001 related to the change in fair value of certain derivative financial
instruments that has qualified for cash flow hedge accounting. The following
table illustrates the calculation of comprehensive income for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2001:

10. ACQUISITION OF CODY COMPANY

Effective in August 2001, the Company acquired the stock of Cody Company,
the parent of Cody Energy LLC ("Cody acquisition") for $231.2 million comprised
of $181.3 million of cash and 1,999,993 shares of common stock valued at $49.9
million. Substantially all of the exploration and production reserves of Cody
Company are located in the onshore Gulf Coast region. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As such, the Company
reflected the assets and liabilities acquired at fair value in the Company's
balance sheet effective August 1, 2001 and the results of operations of Cody
Company beginning August 1, 2001. The purchase price totaling approximately
$314.8 million was allocated to specific assets and liabilities based on certain
estimates of fair values resulting in approximately $305.6 million allocated to
property and $9.2 million allocated to working capital items. This $314.8
million amount was inclusive of a $79.2 million non-cash item pertaining to the
deferred income taxes attributable to the differences between the tax and
financial statement basis of the acquired oil and gas properties, and
acquisition related fees and costs of $4.4 million.

To partially fund the cash portion of this acquisition, the Company issued
$170 million 7.3% weighted average fixed rate notes in a private placement
transaction. Prior to the determination of the Note's interest rates, the
Company entered into a treasury lock in order to reduce the risk of rising
interest rates. Interest rates rose during the pricing period, resulting in a
$0.7 million gain that will be amortized over the life of the Notes, and thereby
reducing the effective interest rate by 5.5 basis points. The Notes are in
three series with maturity dates and interest rates as follows:

$75 million with a coupon rate of 7.255% (7.2% effective interest rate) due
in July 2011
$75 million with a coupon rate of 7.355% (7.3% effective interest rate) due
in July 2013
$20 million with a coupon rate of 7.455% (7.4% effective interest rate) due
in July 2016

The remaining $11.3 million of cash used in the Cody acquisition were proceeds
from the Company's revolving credit facility.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed income statement information
has been prepared to give effect to the Cody acquisition as if it had occurred
at the beginning of the periods presented. The historical results of operations
have been adjusted to reflect the differences between Cody Company's historical
depletion, depreciation, and amortization and such expense calculated based on
the value allocated to the assets acquired in the acquisition. An adjustment
has also been made for additional interest expense associated with the $181.3
million of increased debt outstanding utilized to partially fund the
transaction. The cumulative effect of an accounting change of $3.4 million
($2.1 million after tax) relates to the January 1, 2001 adoption of SFAS 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by
SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. The information presented is not necessarily indicative
of the results of future operations of the Company.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Cabot
Oil & Gas Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30,
2001, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows for each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and
September 30, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements
for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in
our report dated February 16, 2001 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
-------------

The following review of operations for the third quarter of 2001 and 2000
should be read along with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
the Notes included in this Form 10-Q and with the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Cabot
Oil & Gas Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Overview

Effective August 1, 2001, we acquired Cody Company and subsidiaries for
$231.2 million in cash and common stock. The Cody properties are mainly in the
onshore Gulf Coast region and contributed 2.8 Bcfe of production during the two-
month period following the acquisition. The acquired business contributed $9.1
million in operating revenues and $1.5 million in operating income to our 2001
results.

During the first nine months of 2001, we realized both the highest level of
natural gas price realization and the highest natural gas production volumes in
our history. For the first nine months of 2001 realized natural gas prices were
83% higher than the same period of last year. Natural gas production was 49.6
Bcf, up 4.2 Bcf compared to the first nine months of 2000. The Cody properties
contributed 2.3 Bcf of production since the August 1, 2001 effective date of the
acquisition. Oil prices were up 7% and oil production doubled from the first
nine months of last year. The improvement in natural gas and oil production was
primarily driven by Company's discoveries in south Louisiana and the acquisition
of the Cody properties. Operating revenues increased $112.9 million, or 44%,
and net income available to common shareholders increased $50.5 million, mainly
as a result of this improved price environment and increased production.
Operating cash flows also benefited, improving by $145.4 million over last year.

Net income for the first nine months of 2001 was $62.7 million, or $2.10 per
share. These results included a $0.8 million non-cash gain realized from the
change in the fair value of our derivatives under the newly adopted SFAS 133
(see Note 8), a $1.1 million severance tax refund, and a $1.7 million impairment
to long-lived assets. These selected items increased after-tax net income by
$0.1 million in the first nine months of 2001. Excluding this selected item,
our year-to-date 2001 net income was $62.6 million, or $2.10 per share.

We drilled 154 gross wells with a success rate of 88% in 2001 compared to 85
gross wells and an 88% success rate in the first nine months of 2000. For the
full year, we plan to drill approximately 222 gross wells and spend
approximately $220.3 million in capital and exploration expenditures (excluding
the Cody acquisition) compared to 129 gross wells and $122.6 million of capital
and exploration expenditures in 2000. Total expenditures were $379.6 million
for the first nine months of 2001 including $231.2 million for the Cody
acquisition, compared to $86.7 million for the comparable period in 2000.

Production from our recent discoveries in the Gulf Coast helped boost
production in that region by 11.8 Bcfe for the first nine months of 2001.
However, anticipated declines in the other regions offset 3.5 Bcfe of this
production.

Our strategic pursuits are sensitive to energy commodity prices, particularly
the price of natural gas. Market conditions have improved significantly this
year and our realized gas price for the first nine months of 2001 of $4.95/Mcf
was the highest we have ever realized. Although third quarter 2001 realized
natural gas prices rose 30% over the prior year, prices were 21% lower then
those realized in the second quarter of this year. Prices of natural gas for
Henry Hub have declined from a high of $9.19 per Mmbtu in January 2001 to $1.86
per Mmbtu in October 2001. Additionally, the natural gas price collars in place
since February of 2001 covering 44% of our year-to-date natural gas production
will expire at the end of October 2001. These derivatives served to increase
the average realized natural gas price by $0.50/Mcf through September 2001.
Based on this market volatility, there is considerable uncertainty about the
level of natural gas prices for the remainder of this year and beyond.

We remain focused on our strategies of growth from the drill bit and
synergistic acquisitions. Management believes that these strategies are
appropriate in the current industry environment, enabling Cabot Oil & Gas to add
shareholder value over the long term.

The preceding paragraphs, discussing our strategic pursuits and goals, contain
forward-looking information. See Forward-Looking Information on page 23.

Financial Condition

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our capital resources consist primarily of cash flows from our oil and gas
properties and asset-based borrowings supported by our oil and gas reserves. The
level of earnings and cash flows depend on many factors, including the price of
crude oil and natural gas and our ability to control and reduce costs. Demand
for crude oil and natural gas has historically been subject to seasonal
influences characterized by peak demand and higher prices in the winter heating
season. However, demand and prices have both remained strong through the summer
of 2000 and the spring of 2001 until they declined in the late summer and early
fall of 2001. This is a variation from the cyclical nature of demand that we had
seen previously in the market.

In August 2001, we completed the acquisition of the stock of Cody Company
for $231.2 million in cash and stock. In July 2001, we issued $170 million 7.3%
weighted average fixed rate notes in a private placement transaction to fund a
portion of the cash required for this transaction. We expect that this
acquisition and the related issuance of debt will result in increases to
operating revenues, operating expenses, production and interest expense.
Increases to the capital spending program are also planned.

Our primary sources of cash during the first nine months of 2001 were from
funds generated from operations as well as from the issuance of new debt.
Another source of cash was the exercise of stock options. Cash was primarily
used to acquire the Cody Company stock, fund exploration and development
expenditures, and pay dividends.

We had a net cash inflow of $6.4 million in the first nine months of 2001.
Cash inflows from operating activities totaled $214.8 million in the period.
Cash from borrowings contributed $98 million, which reflects the impact the $170
million in new 7.3% weighted average fixed rate notes issued in July and the
reduction to the revolving line of credit. These cash inflows were used to fund
$316.5 million in capital and exploration expenditures, including $181.3 million
for the Cody acquisition.

Cash flows from operating activities in the 2001 first nine months were
$141.0 million higher than the corresponding period of 2000 primarily due to
higher natural gas and oil prices and favorable changes in working capital.

Cash flows used by investing activities in the first nine months of 2001
and 2000 were substantially attributable to capital and exploration expenditures
of $316.5 million, including the Cody acquisition, and $83.8 million,
respectively. Proceeds from the sale of certain oil and gas properties were $5.9
in 2001 and $2.7 million in 2000.

Cash flows provided by financing activities in the first nine months of
2001 included a $98 million net increase in debt. We issued 7.3% weighted
average fixed rate notes in July 2001 for $170 million. However,

-15-

during 2001, we also reduced our level of borrowing on our revolving credit
facility and repaid the 10.18% Notes. Additionally, $3.5 million was used to pay
dividends. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options in the period were $7.7
million. In the first nine months of 2000, we raised $81.6 million from the sale
of common stock through a public offering and through stock option exercises. Of
the proceeds, $51.6 million was used to repurchase all of the then-outstanding
shares of our preferred stock. Cash flows used by financing activities in the
first nine months of 2000 also included $17 million used to reduce borrowings on
our revolving credit facility, and $5.4 million for the payment of dividends,
including the final dividend payment on the preferred stock.

The available credit line under our revolving credit facility, currently
$250 million, is subject to adjustment on the basis of the present value of
estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves (as determined
by the bank's petroleum engineer) and other assets. The revolving term of the
credit facility runs to December 2003. Management believes that we have the
ability to finance, if necessary, our capital requirements, including
acquisitions.

Our 2001 interest expense is expected to be approximately $21.3 million,
including interest on the $170 million 7.3% weighted average fixed rate notes
used to partially fund the acquisition of Cody Company. In May 2001, a $16
million principal payment was made on the 10.18% Notes. This amount had been
reflected as "Current Portion of Long-Term Debt" on the balance sheet.
Additionally, the final $16 million payment on these notes that was due in May
2002 was paid in May 2001 using existing capacity on the revolving credit
agreement.

During the first nine months of 2001, we paid dividends of $3.5 million on
the common stock. A regular dividend of $0.04 per share of common stock was
declared for the quarter ending September 30, 2001, to be paid November 23, 2001
to stockholders of record as of November 9, 2001.

As a result of the requirements of SFAS 133 adopted January 1, 2001 (see
Note 9), our Stockholders' Equity includes $5.9 million, net of tax, in Other
Comprehensive Income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001.

Capital and Exploration Expenditures

On an annual basis, we generally fund most of our capital and exploration
activities, excluding major oil and gas property acquisitions, with cash
generated from operations, and budget such capital expenditures based upon
projected cash flows for the year.

The following table presents major components of capital and exploration
expenditures:

Total............................... $379.6 $86.7
====== =====

/(1)/ The 2001 amount includes the Cody acquisition, excluding the $79.2
million deferred tax gross-up. See Note 10, Cody Acquisition.

Total capital and exploration expenditures in the first nine months of 2001
increased $292.9 million compared to the same period of 2000, primarily as a
result of the $231.2 million Cody acquisition. The remaining increase of $61.7
million was due primarily to increased drilling activity as well as increases in
leasehold acquisitions costs consistent with our future drilling plans.

We plan to drill 222 gross wells in 2001 compared with 129 gross wells
drilled in 2000. This 2001 drilling program includes $220.3 million in total
capital and exploration expenditures (excluding the Cody acquisition), up from
$122.6 million in 2000. Expected capital and exploration spending in 2001
includes $141.4 million for drilling, $21.3 million for lease acquisition costs
and $14.8 million for geological and geophysical expenses including seismic data
costs. This 2001 drilling program now includes plans for 15 gross wells and
capital and exploration expenditures of $16.9 million on the properties acquired
from Cody Company in August 2001. In addition to the drilling and exploration
program, other 2001 capital expenditures are planned primarily for gathering and
pipeline infrastructure maintenance and construction. We will continue to assess
the natural gas price environment and may increase or decrease the capital and
exploration expenditures accordingly.

. A total impairment of $1.1 million ($1.7 million pre-tax) recorded in the
third quarter. Two fields in the Gulf Coast region were impaired since the
cost capitalized exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows. Also, one
natural gas processing plant in the Rocky Mountains area was written down to
fair market value.

. A severance tax refund of $0.7 million ($1.1 million pre-tax) was received in
the third quarter for taxes previously paid in Louisiana that recently
qualified for the Severance Tax Relief Program as deep wells.

. A $9.1 million impairment ($5.6 million after tax) was recorded on the
Beaurline field in south Texas as a result of a casing collapse in two of the
field's wells.

. We announced the closure of the regional office in Pittsburgh in May 2000 and
recorded costs of $1.0 million ($0.6 million after tax). These costs were
recorded in the income statement categories associated with the specific
activity that will receive the future savings benefit ($0.6 million in
operations, $0.1 million in exploration and $0.3 million in administration).

. As a result of repurchasing all of the preferred stock at less than the book
value, we recorded a $5.1 million negative stock dividend in May 2000.

Third Quarters of 2001 and 2000 Compared

Net Income and Revenues. We reported net income before the selected items
-----------------------
in the third quarter of 2001 of $10.7 million, or $0.35 per share. During the
corresponding quarter of 2000, we recorded net income of $6.1 million, or $0.21
per share. Operating revenues increased by $18.4 million and operating income
increased by $6.8 million. The recently acquired Cody Company contributed $9.1
million in operating revenues and $1.5 million in operating income. Natural gas
made up 68%, or $71.2 million, of net operating revenue in 2001. The increase in
net operating revenues was driven primarily by production improvements of 22%
for natural gas and 100% for oil. The 30% increase in natural gas prices also
contributed to the revenue increase. Net income and operating income were
similarly impacted by the increase in commodity volumes and prices.

The average Gulf Coast natural gas production sales price rose $0.19 per
Mcf, or 5%, to $3.91, increasing net operating revenues by approximately $1.5
million. In the Western region, the average natural gas production sales price
increased $0.48 per Mcf, or 18%, to $3.10, increasing net operating revenues by
approximately $3.1 million. The average Appalachian natural gas production sales
price increased $1.83 per Mcf, or 67%, to $4.56, increasing net operating
revenues by approximately $8.4 million. The overall weighted average natural gas
production sales price increased $0.87 per Mcf, or 30%, to $3.77. Hedging gains
buoyed prices in all three regions. On the last day of 2000, we entered into a
series of natural gas price collar arrangements that limited our exposure to the
decline in commodity prices for the months of February through October 2001.
Index prices were below the floor of these collar arrangements in the third
quarter of 2001 resulting in a hedge gain of $20 million, which contributed a

-19-

$1.06 per Mcf increase to our realized natural gas price for the quarter. These
collar arrangements covered approximately 43% of our natural gas production
during the third quarter of 2001 and remain in place through the end of October
2001.

Natural gas production volume in the Gulf Coast region was up 4.4 Bcf, or
126%, to 7.9 Bcf due to the addition of production from the newly acquired Cody
properties and due to new production brought on line in south Louisiana. Natural
gas production volume in the Western region was down 1.0 Bcf, or 14%, to 6.4 Bcf
primarily due to a decrease in drilling activity in the Mid-Continent area
during 1999 and 2000. Natural gas production volume in the Appalachian region
was flat at 4.6 Bcf. The 3.4 Bcf, or 22%, improvement in total natural gas
production increased revenue by $9.8 million in the third quarter of 2001.

Brokered natural gas revenue decreased $14.3 million, or 44%, over the
third quarter of last year. A 37% decrease in volume of natural gas brokered
this quarter reduced revenues by $12.3 million. The sales price of brokered
natural gas declined 10%, resulting in a decrease in revenue of $2.0 million.
After including the related brokered natural gas costs, we realized a net
negative margin of less than $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2001 and a net
positive margin of $1.2 million in the comparable quarter of 2000.

Crude oil prices declined $4.73 per Bbl, or 16%, to $24.99, resulting in a
decrease to net operating revenues of approximately $2.4 million. In addition,
the volume of crude oil sold in the quarter increased by 254 Mbbls, or 100%, to
509 Mbbls, boosting net operating revenues by $7.5 million. Of this improvement,
72 Mbbls represented production from the newly acquired Cody properties and the
remainder was primarily from new wells in the Gulf Coast region.

Other net operating revenues increased $1.5 million to $2.3 million
primarily as a result of an increase in liquids revenue in the Gulf Coast due to
higher volumes processed. A portion of the volume increase was from the Cody
properties.

Costs and Expenses. Excluding the severance tax refund of $1.1 million
------------------
received in the third quarter of 2001 and the impairment of long-lived assets of
$1.7 million recorded in September, total costs and expenses from operations
increased $11.1 million, or 16%, in the third quarter of 2001 compared to the
same period of 2000. The primary reasons for this fluctuation are as follows:

. Brokered natural gas cost decreased $13.1 million, or 41%, from the third
quarter of last year. The cost of brokered natural gas fell 6%, resulting
in a decrease to expense of $1.3 million. Additionally, a 37% decrease in
volume of natural gas brokered this quarter reduced costs by $11.8 million.

. Direct operating expense increased $3.0 million, or 35%, over the same
quarter last year. This increase was a result of three main factors. First,
the incremental cost of operating the newly acquired Cody properties during
August and September was $1.5 million. Second, we are incurring higher
costs associated with the expansion of the Gulf Coast regional office,
including investments both in staffing and technology, and the cost of
operations for new wells brought on line primarily in south Louisiana.
Third, several maintenance projects were completed during the quarter
including clean up from flooding in the eastern United States.

. Exploration expense increased $9.8 million, or 208%, primarily as a result
of $9.0 million in dry hole expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2001
primarily in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountains areas, an increase of $7.6
million from last year. Additionally, geological and geophysical expense,
primarily related to the acquisition and processing of seismic data, has
increased $2.0 million for the quarter. These increases are consistent with
the budget for the expanded 2001 drilling program.

. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense increased
$10.8 million, or 76%, over the comparable quarter of last year. The
majority of the higher expense this quarter was due to the increase in
natural gas and oil production, as well as the stronger influence of the
higher cost Gulf Coast region where equivalent production has increased
134% from last year's third quarter. Approximately 44% of this increase was
due to the DD&A recorded on the Cody properties this quarter.

-20-

. General and administrative costs rose $1.2 million, or 23%, primarily as a
result of costs associated with certain non-cash compensation programs and
transitional Cody employees.

. Taxes other than income declined $0.3 million, or 6%, as a result of the
decline in oil prices and the decline in natural gas production and prices
in the Rocky Mountains this year.

Interest expense increased $0.6 million as a result of a higher average
level of outstanding debt during the third quarter of 2001 when compared to the
third quarter of 2000.

Income tax expense increased $2.9 million due to the comparable increase in
earnings before income tax excluding the selected items.

Nine Months of 2001 and 2000 Compared

Net Income and Revenues. Excluding the selected items, we reported net
-----------------------
income in the first nine months of 2001 of $62.6 million, or $2.10 per share.
During the corresponding period of 2000, we had net income excluding selected
items of $11.5 million, or $0.43 per share. Operating revenues and operating
income increased $115.0 million and $78.7 million, respectively. The recently
acquired Cody Company contributed $9.1 million in operating revenues and $1.5
million in operating income. Natural gas made up 67%, or $245.4 million, of net
operating revenue in 2001. The increase in net operating revenues was driven
primarily by an 83% increase in the average natural gas price and by a 99%
increase in oil production. Net income and operating income were similarly
impacted by the increase in commodity prices and production.

The average Gulf Coast natural gas production sales price rose $2.07 per
Mcf, or 66%, to $5.19, increasing net operating revenues by approximately $35.9
million. In the Western region, the average natural gas production sales price
increased $1.97 per Mcf, or 80%, to $4.43, increasing net operating revenues by
approximately $38.1 million. The average Appalachian natural gas production
sales price increased $2.64 per Mcf, or 94%, to $5.45, increasing net operating
revenues by approximately $33.9 million. The overall weighted average natural
gas production sales price increased $2.24 per Mcf, or 83%, to $4.95. Hedging
gains buoyed prices in all three regions. On the last day of 2000, we entered
into a series of natural gas price collars that limited our exposure to the
decline in commodity prices for the months of February through October 2001.
Index prices were below the floor of these collars during several months of 2001
resulting in a hedge gain of $24.7 million, which contributed a $0.50 per Mcf
increase to our realized natural gas price for the first nine months of the
year. These collar arrangements covered approximately 44% of our natural gas
production during the first nine months of 2001and remain in place through
October 2001.

Natural gas production volume in the Gulf Coast region was up 7.4 Bcf, or
75%, to 17.3 Bcf primarily due to the acquisition of the Cody properties and new
production brought on line in south Louisiana. Natural gas production volume in
the Western region was down 2.6 Bcf, or 12%, to 19.4 Bcf primarily due to a
decrease in drilling activity in the Mid-Continent area since 1999. Natural gas
production volume in the Appalachian region was down 0.6 Bcf, or 4%, to 12.9
Bcf, as a result of a decrease in drilling activity in 1999. The 4.2 Bcf, or 9%,
rise in total natural gas production increased revenue by $11.2 million in the
first nine months of 2001.

Crude oil prices increased $1.70 per Bbl, or 7%, to $26.96, resulting in an
increase to net operating revenues of approximately $2.2 million. The volume of
crude oil sold in the first nine months of the year increased by 651 Mbbl, or
99%, to 1,307 Mbbl, increasing net operating revenues by $16.5 million.

Brokered natural gas revenue decreased $25.6 million, or 24%, from the
first nine months of last year. The sales price of brokered natural gas rose
2.02%, resulting in an increase in revenue of $31.5 million, offset by a 53%
decrease in volume of natural gas brokered this period, reducing revenues by
$57.1 million. After including the related brokered natural gas costs, we
realized a net margin of $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2001 and $3.8
million in the comparable period of 2000.

Excluding the selected items, other operating revenues decreased $0.4
million to $4.2 million, due to accruals made for payout liabilities as certain
wells were overproduced.

-21-

Costs and Expenses. Excluding the selected items, total costs and expenses
-------------------
from operations increased $35.8 million, or 17%, due primarily to the following:

. Brokered natural gas cost decreased $24.0 million, or 23%, over the first
nine months of last year. The cost per Mcf of brokered natural gas rose
65%, resulting in an increase to expense of $31.1 million, offset by a 53%
decrease in volume of natural gas brokered this quarter, reducing costs by
$55.1 million.

. Direct operating expense increased $3.8 million, or 15%, primarily as a
result of the cost of operating the Cody properties as well as wells
brought on line during the past year primarily in the Gulf Coast and Rocky
Mountains.

. Exploration expense increased $27.8 million, or 232%, as a result of
primarily as a result of $21.3 million in dry hole expense recorded in
2001, primarily in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions, an increase
of $18.9 million from last year. Additionally, geological and geophysical
expense, primarily related to the acquisition and processing of seismic
data, has increased $6.9 million for the period. These increases are
consistent with the budget for the expanded 2001 drilling program.

. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $18.8 million,
or 46%, due to the increase in natural gas and oil production, the Cody
acquisition and the stronger influence of the higher cost Gulf Coast region
where equivalent production has increased 94% from the first nine months of
last year.

. General and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 19%,
primarily as a result of higher compensation costs most of which is
associated with certain non-cash compensation programs. Increased
competition for experienced professionals in the energy industry has
resulted in increased salary and fringe benefit levels in order to retain
key employees. Additionally, our incentive compensation programs are based
on the Company's annual performance and result in higher expenses in years
of better financial performance.

. Taxes other than income rose $6.7 million, or 43%, as a result of higher
commodity prices realized this year.

Interest expense decreased $2.5 million as a result of a lower average
level of outstanding debt during the first nine months of 2001 when compared to
the first nine months of 2000.

Income tax expense increased $31.4 million due to the comparable increase
in earnings before income tax excluding the selected items.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141") and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142").
SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for under the purchase method. For all business combinations for which
the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001, SFAS 141 also establishes
specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from
goodwill and requires unallocated negative goodwill to be written off
immediately as an extraordinary gain, rather than deferred and amortized. SFAS
142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets after an
acquisition. The most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are: 1) goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized; 2) goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at
least annually; and 3) the amortization period for intangible assets with finite
lives will no longer be limited to forty years. The Company does not believe
that the adoption of these statements will have a material effect on its
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2001, the FASB also approved for issuance SFAS 143 "Asset
Retirement Obligations." SFAS 143 establishes accounting requirements for
retirement obligations associated with tangible long-

-22-

lived assets, including (1) the timing of the liability recognition, (2) initial
measurement of the liability, (3) allocation of asset retirement cost to
expense, (4) subsequent measurement of the liability and (5) financial statement
disclosures. SFAS 143 requires that an asset retirement cost should be
capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently
allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company will
adopt the statement effective no later than January 1, 2003, as required. The
transition adjustment resulting from the adoption of SFAS 143 will be reported
as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. At this time, the
Company cannot reasonably estimate the effect of the adoption of this statement
on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The new accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale
applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations, and
replaces the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations-
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business", for the disposal
of segments of a business. SFAS 144 requires that those long-lived assets be
measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell,
whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations.
Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable
value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFAS
144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all
components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest
of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the
entity in a disposal transaction. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001
and, generally, are to be applied prospectively. At this time, the Company
cannot estimate the effect of this statement on its financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows.

Forward-Looking Information

The statements regarding future financial performance and results, market
prices, and the other statements, which are not historical facts contained in
this report are forward-looking statements. The words "expect," "project,"
"estimate," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "budget," "plan," "forecast,"
"predict" and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not
limited to, market factors, market prices (including regional basis
differentials) of natural gas and oil, results for future drilling and marketing
activity, future production and costs and other factors detailed herein and in
our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated.

Conclusion

Our financial results depend upon many factors, particularly the price of
natural gas and oil and our ability to market gas on economically attractive
terms. The average produced natural gas sales price received in the first nine
months of 2001 was over 80% higher than in 2000. The volatility of natural gas
prices in recent years remains prevalent in 2001 with wide price swings in day-
to-day trading on the NYMEX futures market. Additionally, the natural gas price
collars that covered 44% of our 2001 production through September will expire at
the end of October 2001, eliminating some of our protection against the impact
of falling prices. Given this continued price volatility, we cannot predict with
certainty what pricing levels will be in the future. Because future cash flows
are subject to these variables, we cannot assure you that our operations will
provide cash sufficient to fully fund our planned capital expenditures.

We believe our capital resources, supplemented with external financing, if
necessary, are adequate to meet our capital requirements.

Looking Information above.

ITEM 3A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Commodity Price Swaps

Hedges on our Production

From time to time, we enter into natural gas and crude oil swap agreements
with counterparties to hedge price risk associated with a portion of our
production. These derivatives are not held for trading purposes. Under these
price swaps, we receive a fixed price on a notional quantity of natural gas and
crude oil in exchange for paying a variable price based on a market-based index,
such as the NYMEX gas and crude oil futures. During the first nine months of
2001, natural gas price swaps covered 918 Mmcf, fixing the sales price of this
gas at $3.75 per Mcf. During the first nine months of 2000, we did not have any
natural gas price swaps covering our production. We entered into no oil price
swaps covering the first nine months of 2001. In the first nine months of 2000,
the notional volume of the crude oil swap transactions was 364 Mbbls at a price
of $22.67 per Bbl, which represented most of our oil production for the period.

In December 2000, we believed that the pricing environment provided a
strategic opportunity to significantly reduce the price risk on a portion of our
production through the use of costless collars. The natural gas price hedges
include several costless collar arrangements based on eight price indexes at
which we sell a portion of our production. These hedges are in place for the
months of February through October 2001 and cover approximately half of our
anticipated natural gas production during this period. For the first nine months
of 2001, these collars covered 21.6 Mmcf of production. All indexes were within
the collars during February and April, some fell below the floor during the
period of March, and all indexes were below the floor from June through the end
the third quarter, resulting in a $24.7 million cash gain for the first nine
months.

A series of costless collars were in place during the months of April
through October 2000. During the first nine months of 2000, these collars
covered 8,474 Mmcf, or 19%, of our production. During the months of April and
May, the indexes remained within the collars, but rose above the ceiling in June
2000 through the remainder of the swap period, resulting in a $6.7 million cash
loss for the first nine months.

As part of the Cody acquisition, we assumed a derivative contract that Cody
had entered into previously. This derivative was a natural gas price floor
entered into to reduce the risk of declining prices in the Gulf Coast region. It
is in effect through December 2001. During the third quarter of 2001, this
natural gas price floor covered 533 Mmcf of Gulf Coast production, fixing the
floor at $2.81 per Mcf. In September 2001, prices fell below the floor and we
realized a cash gain of $84,000. The natural gas price floor obtained in the
merger with Cody Company valued at $205,300 upon acquisition does not qualify
for hedge treatment under SFAS 133. At September 30, 2001, this derivative has
been recorded at market value on the balance sheet and the resulting gain of
$0.5 million, representing the movement of gas prices since the Cody acquisition
(August 1, 2001), is included in the period's operating revenue.

Hedges on Brokered Transactions

Occasionally, we use price swaps to hedge the natural gas price risk on
brokered transactions. Typically, we enter into contracts to broker natural gas
at a variable price based on the market index price. However, in some
circumstances, some of our customers or suppliers request that a fixed price be
stated in the contract. After entering into fixed price contracts to meet the
needs of our customers or suppliers, we may use price swaps to effectively
convert these fixed price contracts to market-sensitive price contracts. These
price swaps are held by us to their maturity and are not held for trading
purposes.

In the first nine months of 2001, we had no price swaps on brokered
transactions. For the first nine months of 2000, we entered into price swaps
with total notional quantities of 1,295 Mmcf related to our brokered activities,
representing 4% of our total volume of brokered natural gas sold.

We are exposed to market risk on these open contracts, to the extent of
changes in market prices of natural gas and oil.

Adoption of SFAS 133

-24-

On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. Under
SFAS 133, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value. This new pronouncement impacts the accounting for the Company's natural
gas costless collar arrangements and natural gas price swap.

The Company uses derivative instruments to reduce the impact of changing
commodity prices on its financial results. At September 30, 2001, the Company
had two types of cash flow hedges open: a series of eight costless collar
arrangements and one natural gas price swap. The Company has recorded these
items at their fair market value on the balance sheet. The related unrealized
gains and losses were recorded as Other Comprehensive Income, a component of
Stockholders' Equity on the balance sheet, rather than to the income statement
to the extent that the derivative instrument was proven to be effective. For the
first nine months of 2001, a $5.9 million ($9.7 million pre-tax) unrealized gain
was recorded to Other Comprehensive Income. Ineffectiveness arises when the
change in fair value of the cash flow hedge does not perfectly offset the change
in the underlying anticipated natural gas sale. The ineffective portion of the
cash flow hedges (including the gain associated with the natural gas price floor
discussed below), a $0.8 million gain in the first nine months of 2001, was
recorded directly to the income statement as a Change in Derivative Fair Value.
Additionally, the time value component of the market value, a $24 thousand gain
in the first nine months of 2001, was recognized entirely as part of the Change
in Derivative Fair Value.

The natural gas price floor obtained in the merger with Cody Company valued
at $205,300 upon acquisition does not qualify for hedge treatment under SFAS
133. At September 30, 2001, this derivative has been recorded at market value on
the balance sheet and the resulting gain of $0.5 million, representing the
movement of gas prices since the Cody acquisition (August 1, 2001), is included
in the period's operating revenue.

The preceding paragraphs contain forward-looking information concerning
future production and projected gains and losses, which may be impacted both by
production and by changes in the future market prices of energy commodities. See
Forward-Looking Information on page 23.
