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.
