to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation
tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. Statements of
proved reserves are only estimates and may be imprecise. Any reserve estimates provided in this presentation that
are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include not only proved reserves but also
other categories of reserves that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit the Company from including in filings with the
SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.
