Exhibit 99.2

EXCO Resources, Inc.

Pro forma financial information and footnotes

as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009

and the year ended December 31, 2008

EXCO Resources, Inc., or EXCO, a Texas corporation, is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and exploitation of onshore properties located in the continental United States. In addition to our oil and natural gas producing operations, as of August 14, 2009, we hold a 50% equity interest in a midstream joint venture, which owns and operates pipeline and gathering systems in East Texas and North Louisiana. Our oil and natural gas assets in East Texas and North Louisiana are owned by our subsidiary, EXCO Operating Company, LP and its subsidiaries and together they are collectively referred to as EXCO Operating. Our operations are focused in key North American oil and natural gas areas including East Texas/North Louisiana, Appalachia and West Texas.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” are to EXCO.

On November 10, 2009, EXCO completed the sale of all of its remaining Mid-Continent oil and natural gas properties and related assets to Sheridan Holdings, LLC, or Sheridan, for net cash proceeds of $537.5 million, including proceeds from execution of preferential rights, or the Sheridan Transaction, after preliminary closing adjustments. The properties sold include approximately 1,375 producing wells in the Mocane Laverne and Golden Trend fields in Oklahoma.

On August 11, 2009, EXCO completed the sale of oil and natural gas properties and related assets to Encore Operating, L.P., or Encore, pursuant to two separate purchase and sale agreements for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $356.5 million, including closing adjustments. The oil and natural gas properties sold included (i) all of EXCO’s interests in its Gladewater area and Overton field in Gregg, Upshur and Smith counties in East Texas, or the East Texas Properties, and (ii) certain oil and natural gas properties in the Mid-Continent region of Oklahoma, Kansas and the Texas Panhandle, or the Mid-Continent Sale, collectively the Encore Transactions.

On August 14, 2009, EXCO also closed two separate transactions with BG Group, plc, or BG Group, involving the sale of an undivided 50% interest in an area of mutual interest, or AMI, in certain oil and natural gas properties in East Texas and North Louisiana, or the BG Upstream Transaction, and a 50% interest in certain of its midstream operations, or the BG Midstream Transaction, for approximately $996.2 million, including closing adjustments, also located in East Texas and North Louisiana.

BG Upstream Transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the BG Upstream Transaction, EXCO sold an undivided 50% interest in its producing and non-producing assets in the AMI, which encompassed most of EXCO’s holdings in East Texas and North Louisiana, excluding the Vernon Field in Jackson Parish, Louisiana, the Redland Field in Bossier and Webster Parishes, Louisiana and the Gladewater area and Overton field in East Texas. EXCO will serve as operator of the BG Upstream Transaction. Consideration for the sale included cash at closing of approximately $727.0 million, including closing adjustments.

In addition to the cash received at closing, under provisions of the Joint Development Agreement, or JDA, BG Group will fund $400.0 million of capital costs of the Haynesville/Bossier shale development attributable to EXCO’s 50% interest. Such funding will be based on payment by BG Group of 75% of EXCO’s share of drilling and completion costs of each qualified deep rights well, as defined in the JDA, until the $400.0 million commitment has been satisfied. EXCO will fund the remaining 25% of its share, representing 12.5% of total deep rights drilling and completion costs. EXCO and BG Group will each receive their 50% share of revenues and pay their 50% share of operating costs from production. In addition, EXCO and BG Group will share equally in future leasehold and asset acquisition opportunities within the AMI.

BG Midstream Transaction

In conjunction with the BG Midstream Transaction, EXCO contributed its TGG Pipeline, Ltd., or TGG, and Talco Midstream Assets, Ltd., or Talco, subsidiaries to TGGT Holdings, LLC, or TGGT, a newly formed entity, in exchange for membership units in TGGT. On August 14, 2009, EXCO sold 50% of its membership units in TGGT to BG US Gathering Company, LLC, or BG Gathering, for cash consideration of approximately $269.2 million, including closing adjustments. TGGT will operate as a 50/50 joint venture with neither EXCO nor BG Gathering having control over the management of, or a controlling beneficial economic interest in, the operations of TGGT. EXCO will use the equity method of accounting to account for its investment in TGGT.

Notes to pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet

As of September 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

 

(a) Pro forma adjustment to reflect closing of the Sheridan Transaction for aggregate cash sales proceeds of $537.5 million, including proceeds from execution of preferential rights, after preliminary closing adjustments. As set forth in the table below, the pro forma adjustment reflects receipt of cash sales proceeds, assumption of asset retirement obligations and other liabilities, elimination of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties, allocation of proceeds attributable to inventories and field equipment and recognition of gain on sale, before adjustment for elimination of goodwill. Although full cost rules generally do not provide for gain or loss recognition in connection with the sale, abandonment or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties, such rules do provide for such recognition if failure to recognize gain or loss would result in a significant alteration in the post transaction depletion rate. EXCO has concluded that, absent gain recognition on the Sheridan Transaction, a significant alteration in its depletion rate would result and, accordingly, has recognized gain on this sale transaction.

(b) Pro forma adjustment to eliminate goodwill attributable to oil and natural gas properties and related assets sold in the Sheridan Transaction based on the relative fair values of the assets sold to estimated total fair value of EXCO’s oil and natural gas properties as of September 30, 2009. In addition, deferred income taxes attributable to the tax basis of temporary goodwill have been proportionately reduced.

 

(c) Pro forma adjustment reflecting use of a portion of sales proceeds from the Sheridan Transaction to reduce the outstanding balance of the EXCO Resources credit agreement.

 

(d) Pro forma adjustment to write-off deferred financing costs associated with borrowing base reductions to the EXCO Resources credit agreement arising from the Sheridan Transaction.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

 

(a) Pro forma adjustment to eliminate oil and natural gas revenues and direct operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 with respect to the oil and natural gas properties sold in the Encore Transactions and the BG Upstream Transaction.

 

(b) Pro forma entry to adjust depreciation, depletion and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2008 to reflect the sale of oil and natural gas properties included in the Encore Transactions, the BG Upstream Transaction and the Sheridan Transaction as if each sale had occurred on January 1, 2008. The pro forma amortization appropriately reflects a proportionate reduction in capitalized costs resulting from the divestiture transactions and the impact of full cost ceiling test write-downs in the write-down period.
