CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Our reports, filings and other public announcements may from time to time contain statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can typically identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” “forecast” and other similar words.

         All of such statements other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

         These forward-looking statements reflect our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include known and unknown risks. Known risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

    our ability to access the debt and equity markets, which will depend on general market conditions and our credit ratings for our debt obligations;
 
    our use of derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity and interest rate risks;
 
    the level of creditworthiness of counterparties to transactions;
 
    changes in laws and regulations, particularly with regard to taxes, safety and protection of the environment or the increased regulation of the gathering and processing industry;

i


Table of Contents

    the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices, interest rates and demand for our services;
 
    weather and other natural phenomena;
 
    industry changes, including the impact of consolidations, and changes in competition;
 
    our ability to obtain required approvals for construction or modernization of gathering and processing facilities, and the timing of production from such facilities, which are dependent on the issuance by federal, state and municipal governments, or agencies thereof, of building, environmental and other permits, the availability of specialized contractors and work force and prices of and demand for products; and
 
    the effect of accounting policies issued periodically by accounting standard-setting bodies.

         In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described.
