The accompanying financial statements, other than the balance
sheet data as of December 31, 2008, are unaudited and were
prepared from the Company’s records. Balance sheet data as
of December 31, 2008 was derived from the Company’s
audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s management
believes that these financial statements include all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s
financial position and results of operations. All adjustments
are of a normal and recurring nature unless specifically noted.
The Company prepared these statements on a basis consistent with
the Company’s annual audited statements and

(e) <i>Oil and natural gas properties:</i>  The
Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration
and development activities as defined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under this method of
accounting, the costs of unsuccessful, as well as successful,
exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil
and gas properties. This includes any internal costs that are
directly related to exploration and development activities but
does not include any costs related to production, general
corporate overhead or similar activities. The carrying amount of
oil and natural gas properties also includes estimated asset
retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset
retirement obligation when incurred. Gain or loss on the sale or
other disposition of oil and natural gas properties is not
recognized, unless the gain or loss would significantly alter
the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves
of oil and natural gas attributable to a country.

The sum of net capitalized costs and estimated future
development costs of oil and natural gas properties are
amortized using the
<font style="white-space: nowrap">units-of-production</font>
method based on the proved reserves as determined by
independent
petroleum engineers. Oil and natural gas reserves and production
are converted into equivalent units based on relative energy
content. Asset retirement obligations are included in the base
costs for calculating depletion.

Under the full cost method, costs of unevaluated properties and
major development projects expected to require significant
future costs may be excluded from capitalized costs being
amortized. The Company excludes significant costs until proved
reserves are found or until it is determined that the costs are
impaired. Excluded costs, if any, are reviewed quarterly to
determine if impairment has occurred. The amount of any
impairment is transferred to the capitalized costs being
amortized.

Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil
and natural gas exploration and development activities are
required to perform a ceiling test calculation each quarter. The
full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC
<font style="white-space: nowrap">Regulation S-X</font>
<font style="white-space: nowrap">Rule 4-10.</font>
The ceiling test is performed quarterly, on a
<font style="white-space: nowrap">country-by-country</font>
basis, utilizing prices in effect on the last day of the
quarter. SEC
<font style="white-space: nowrap">regulation S-X</font>
<font style="white-space: nowrap">Rule 4-10 states</font>
that if prices in effect at the end of a quarter are the result
of a temporary decline and prices improve prior to the issuance
of the financial statements, the increased price may be applied
in the computation of the ceiling test. The ceiling limits such
pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net
revenues attributable to proved crude oil and natural gas
reserves discounted at 10% plus the lower of cost or market
value of unproved properties less any associated tax effects. If
such capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the Company will
record a write-down to the extent of such excess as a non-cash
charge to earnings. Any such write-down will reduce earnings in
the period of occurrence and result in lower DD&A expense
in future periods. A write-down may not be reversed in future
periods even though higher oil and natural gas prices may
subsequently increase the ceiling. The effect of implementing
SFAS No. 143 had no effect on the ceiling test
calculation as the future cash outflows associated with settling
asset retirement obligations are excluded from this calculation.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a
$1.0 billion ($673.0 million net of tax) non-cash
write-down of the carrying value of the Company’s proved
oil and gas properties as of March 31, 2009, as a result of
the ceiling test limitations, which is reflected as write-down
of oil and gas properties in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations. The ceiling test was calculated based
on March 31, 2009 wellhead prices of $2.47 per Mcf for
natural gas and $33.91 per barrel for condensate.

(f) <i>Inventories:</i>  Materials and supplies
inventories are carried at cost. Inventory costs include
expenditures and other charges directly and indirectly incurred
in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and
location. The Company uses the weighted average method of
recording its inventory. Selling expenses and general and
administrative expenses are reported as period costs and
excluded from inventory cost. At June 30, 2009, drilling
and completion supplies inventory of $6.6 million primarily
includes the cost of pipe and production equipment that will be
utilized during the 2009 drilling program.

(g) <i>Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities:</i>  The Company relies on derivative
instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk. The
Company enters into fixed price to index price swap agreements
in order to mitigate its commodity price exposure on a portion
of its natural gas production. The natural gas reference prices
of these commodity derivative contracts are typically referenced
to natural gas index prices as published by independent third
parties. The Company also utilizes fixed price forward gas sales
to manage its commodity price exposure. These fixed price
forward gas sales are considered normal sales in the ordinary
course of business and outside the scope of
SFAS No. 133. The Company does not offset the value of
its derivative arrangements with the same counterparty. (See
Note 6).

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
“Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). This
statement is intended to improve financial reporting about
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to increase transparency about the location
and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s
financial statements; how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133; and
how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect financial position, financial performance,
and cash flows. The Company adopted SFAS No. 161
effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161
did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.

(h) <i>Income taxes:</i>  Income taxes are
accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation
allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on
the “more likely than not” criteria of
SFAS No. 109.

financial statement benefit of a tax position only after
determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely
than not sustain the position following an audit.

(i) <i>Earnings per share:</i>  Basic earnings
per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed by adjusting the average number of common
shares outstanding for the dilutive effect, if any, of common
stock equivalents. The Company uses the treasury stock method to
determine the dilutive effect.

Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),
“Share-Based Payment”
(“SFAS No. 123R”) which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors,

(l) <i>Fair Value Accounting.</i>  In September
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair
Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”).
This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. This statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
Accordingly, this statement did not require any new fair value
measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the
application of this statement relate to the definition of fair
value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded
disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008. The
implementation of SFAS No. 157 was applied
prospectively for our assets and liabilities that are measured
at fair value on a recurring basis, primarily our commodity
derivatives, with no material impact on consolidated results of
operations, financial position or liquidity. For those
non-financial assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at
fair value on a non-recurring basis, primarily our asset
retirement obligation,
<font style="white-space: nowrap">SFAS No. 157-2</font>
was effective January 1, 2009. Implementation of this
portion of the standard did not have a material impact on
consolidated results of operations, financial position or
liquidity. See Note 7 for additional information.

(m) <i>Asset Retirement Obligation.</i>  The
initial estimated retirement obligation of properties is
recognized as a liability with an associated increase in oil and
gas properties for the asset retirement cost. Accretion expense
is recognized over the estimated productive life of the related
assets. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement
obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset
retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Revisions
in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of estimated
inflation rates, changes in service and equipment costs and
changes in the estimated timing of settling asset retirement
obligations.

(n) <i>Revenue Recognition.</i>  Natural gas
revenues are recorded based on the entitlement method. Under the
entitlement method, revenue is recorded when title passes based
on the Company’s net interest. The Company initially
records its entitled share of revenues based on estimated
production volumes. Subsequently, these estimated volumes are
adjusted to reflect actual volumes that are supported by third
party pipeline statements or cash receipts. Since there is a
ready market for natural gas, the Company sells the majority of
its products immediately after production at various locations
at which time title and risk of loss pass to the buyer. Gas
imbalances occur when the Company sells more or less than its
entitled ownership percentage of total gas production. Any
amount received in excess of the Company’s share is treated
as a liability. If the Company receives less than its entitled
share, the underproduction is recorded as a receivable.

Effective November 3, 2008, the Company changed its method
of accounting for natural gas commodity derivatives to reflect
unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative contracts in
the income statement rather than on the balance sheet (See
Note 6). The net gain or loss in accumulated other
comprehensive income at November 3, 2008 will remain on the
balance sheet and the respective month’s gains or losses
will continue to be reclassified from accumulated other
comprehensive income to earnings as the counterparty settlements
affect earnings (January through December 2009). It is still
considered probable that the original forecasted transactions
will occur; therefore, the net gain or loss in accumulated other
comprehensive income shall not be immediately reclassified into
earnings. As a result of the de-designation on November 3,
2008, the company no longer has any derivative instruments which
qualify for cash flow hedge accounting.</td>

(q) <i>Impact of recently issued accounting
pronouncements:</i>  On July 1, 2009, the FASB
approved the final version of the Codification, which is
effective for reporting periods after September 15, 2009.
The codification will become the single source of authoritative
U.S. GAAP. Going forward, U.S. GAAP will no longer be
issued in the form of an “accounting standard”, but
rather as an update to the applicable “topic” or
“subtopic” within the Codification. As such,
accounting guidance will be classified as either
“authoritative or “non-authoritative” based on
its inclusion or exclusion from the Codification.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP
<font style="white-space: nowrap">No. FAS 115-2</font>
and
<font style="white-space: nowrap">FAS 124-2,</font>
“Recognition and Presentation of

and
<font style="white-space: nowrap">FAS 124-2”),</font>
which amends the existing
<font style="white-space: nowrap">other-than-temporary</font>
impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance
more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure
of
<font style="white-space: nowrap">other-than-temporary</font>
impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial
statements.
<font style="white-space: nowrap">Other-than-temporary</font>
impairment relates to investments in debt and equity securities
for which changes in fair value are not regularly recognized in
earnings (such as securities classified as
<font style="white-space: nowrap">held-to-maturity</font>
or
<font style="white-space: nowrap">available-for-sale).</font>
This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods ending after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, the
Company has adopted this pronouncement for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009; however, since the Company has no such
investments in debt or equity securities, there was no impact on
the Company’s financial position or results of operations
as a result of the adoption.

On December 31, 2008, the SEC issued Release
<font style="white-space: nowrap">No. 33-8995,</font>
“Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting,” amending oil
and gas reporting requirements under
<font style="white-space: nowrap">Rule 4-10</font>
of
<font style="white-space: nowrap">Regulation S-X</font>
and Industry Guide 2 in
<font style="white-space: nowrap">Regulation S-K</font>
revising oil and gas reserves estimation and disclosure
requirements. The new rules include changes to pricing used to
estimate reserves, the ability to include non- traditional
resources in reserves, the use of new technology for determining
reserves and permitting disclosure of probable and possible
reserves. The primary objectives of the revisions are to
increase the transparency and information value of reserve
disclosures and improve comparability among oil and gas
companies. The rule is effective for annual reports on
<font style="white-space: nowrap">Form 10-K</font>
for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. The
Company anticipates that the implementation of the new rule will
provide a more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of the
nature and associated risks of the Company’s underlying oil
and gas reserves. The Company is continuing to evaluate the
impact of this release.

The Company holds interests in unproven properties in which
leasehold costs and seismic costs related to these interests of
$55.5 million were excluded from the amortization base at
December 31, 2008. Exclusion from amortization is permitted
in order to avoid distortion in the amortization per unit that
could result if the cost of unevaluated properties with no
proved reserves attributed to them was included in the
amortization base. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company
has determined that these costs are not significant enough to
warrant exclusion from the amortization base and has begun
amortizing the costs on a unit of production basis.</td>

<i>Bank indebtedness:</i>  The Company (through its
subsidiary) is a party to a revolving credit facility with a
syndicate of banks led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. which
matures in April 2012. This agreement provides an initial loan
commitment of $500.0 million and may be increased to a
maximum aggregate amount of $750.0 million at the request
of the Company. Each bank has the right, but not the obligation,
to increase the amount of its commitment as requested by the
Company. In the event the existing banks increase their
commitment to an amount less than the requested commitment
amount, then it would be necessary to add new financial
institutions to the credit facility.

Loans under the credit facility are unsecured and bear interest,
at our option, based on (A) a rate per annum equal to the
higher of the prime rate or the weighted average fed funds rate
on overnight transactions during the preceding business day plus
50 basis points, or (B) a base Eurodollar rate,
substantially equal to the LIBOR rate, plus a margin based on a
grid of our consolidated leverage ratio (100.0 basis points

The fair value of each share option award is estimated on the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing. The Company’s
employee stock options have various restrictions including
vesting provisions and restrictions on transfers and hedging,
among others, and are often exercised prior to their contractual
maturity. Expected volatilities used in the fair value estimates
are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock.
The Company uses historical data to estimate share option
exercises, expected term and employee departure behavior used in
the Black-Scholes pricing model. Groups of employees (executives
and non-executives) that have similar historical behavior are
considered separately for purposes of determining the expected
term used to estimate fair value. The assumptions utilized
result from differing pre- and post-vesting behaviors among
executive and non-executive groups. The risk-free rate for
periods within the contractual term of the share option is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant. There were no stock options granted during the six months
ended June 30, 2009.

<i>Long Term Incentive Plans.</i>  Each year since
2005, the Company has adopted a Long Term Incentive Plan
(“LTIP”) in order to further align the interests of
key employees with shareholders and to give key employees the
opportunity to share in the long-term performance of the Company
when specific corporate financial and operational goals are
achieved. Each LTIP covers a performance period of three years.
For 2007 and 2008, each LTIP had two components: an “LTIP
Stock Option Award” and an “LTIP Common Stock
Award.” In 2009, the Compensation Committee (the
“Committee”) approved an award consisting only of
performance-based restricted stock units to be awarded to each
participant.

Under each LTIP, the Committee establishes a percentage of base
salary for each participant which is multiplied by the
participant’s base salary to derive a Long Term Incentive
Value (“LTI Value”). The LTIP Common Stock Award in
2007 and 2008 and the 2009 LTIP award of restricted stock units
are performance-based and are measured over a three year
performance period. For each LTIP award, the Committee
establishes performance measures at the beginning of each
performance period, and each participant is assigned threshold
and maximum award levels in the event that actual performance is
below or above target levels. For the 2007, 2008 and 2009 LTIP
awards, the Committee established the following performance
measures: return on equity, reserve replacement ratio, and
production growth.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company
recognized $2.4 million in pre-tax compensation expense
related to the 2007 LTIP Common Stock Award, 2008 LTIP Common
Stock Award and 2009 LTIP award of restricted stock units. For
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized
$1.0 million in pre-tax compensation expense related to the
2006, 2007, and 2008 LTIP Common Stock Awards. The amounts
recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2009
assumes that maximum performance objectives are attained. If the
Company ultimately attains these performance objectives, the
associated total compensation, estimated at June 30, 2009,
for each of the three year performance periods is expected to be
approximately $3.9 million, $3.7 million, and
$9.6 million related to the 2007 LTIP Common Stock Award,
2008 LTIP Common Stock Award and 2009 LTIP award of restricted
stock units, respectively. Additional awards of restricted stock
units were granted to eligible employees during 2009 with
estimated total compensation of $9.5 million over the three
year performance period assuming that maximum performance
objectives are attained. The 2006 LTIP Common Stock Award was
paid in shares of the Company’s stock to employees during
the first quarter of 2009 and totaled $2.7 million.

<i>Best in Class Program.</i>  In May 2008, the
Company established the 2008 Best in Class Program for all
permanent, full-time employees. Under the 2008 Best in
Class Program, participants are eligible to receive a
number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the
performance of the Company. As with the LTIP, the 2008 Best in
Class Program is measured over a three year performance
period. The 2008 Best in Class Program recognizes and
financially rewards the collective efforts of all of the
Company’s employees in achieving sustained industry leading
performance and the enhancement of shareholder value. Under the
2008 Best in Class Program, on January 1, 2008 or the
employment date if subsequent to January 1, 2008, eligible
employees received a contingent award of stock units equal to
$60,000 worth of the Company’s common stock based on the
average high and low share price on the first day of the
performance period. Employees joining the Company after
January 1, 2008 participate on a pro-rata basis based on
their length of employment during the performance period.

The number of contingent units that will vest and become payable
is based on the Company’s performance relative to the
industry during a three year performance period beginning
January 1, 2008, and ending December 31, 2010, and are
set at threshold (50%), target (100%), and maximum (150%)
levels. For each vested unit, the participant will receive one
share of common stock. The participant must be employed on the
date the awards are distributed in order to receive the award.

The Company’s major market risk exposure is in the pricing
applicable to its natural gas and oil production. Realized
pricing is currently driven primarily by the prevailing price
for the Company’s Wyoming natural gas production.
Historically, prices received for natural gas production have
been volatile and unpredictable. Pricing volatility is expected
to continue. Realized natural gas prices are derived from the
financial statements which include the effects of realized gains
and losses on commodity derivatives.

The Company relies on derivative instruments to manage its
exposure to commodity price risk and to provide a level of
certainty in the Company’s forward cash flows supporting
the Company’s capital investment program. The Company
enters into fixed price to index price swap agreements in order
to mitigate its commodity price exposure on a portion of its
natural gas production. The natural gas reference prices of
these commodity derivative contracts are typically referenced to
natural gas index prices as published by independent third
parties such as <u>Inside FERC Gas Market Report.</u> The
Company also utilizes fixed price forward gas sales to manage
its commodity price exposure. These fixed price forward gas
sales are considered normal sales in the ordinary course of
business and outside the scope of SFAS No. 133.

Under SFAS No. 133, all derivative instruments are
recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the
derivative’s fair value are recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For
qualifying cash flow hedges, the unrealized gain or loss on the
derivative is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) to the extent the hedge is effective. Gains and losses on
hedging instruments included in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) are reclassified to oil and natural gas sales
revenue in the period that the related production is delivered.
Derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting
treatment are recorded as derivative assets and liabilities at
market value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the
associated unrealized gains and losses are recorded as current
expense or income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives represents
the non-cash change in the fair value of these derivative
instruments and does not impact operating cash flows on the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Effective November 3, 2008, the Company changed its method
of accounting for natural gas commodity derivatives to reflect
unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative contracts in
the income statement
rather than on the balance sheet. The net gain or loss in
accumulated other comprehensive income at November 3, 2008
will remain on the balance sheet and the respective month’s
gains or losses will continue to be reclassified from
accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings as the
counterparty settlements affect earnings (January through
December 2009). It is still considered probable that the
original forecasted transactions will occur; therefore, the net
gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income shall not
be immediately reclassified into earnings. As a result of the
de-designation on November 3, 2008, the company no longer
has any derivative instruments which qualify for cash flow hedge
accounting.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company converted its
physical, fixed price, forward natural gas sales to physical,
indexed natural gas sales combined with financial swaps whereby
the Company receives the fixed price and pays the variable
price. This change provides operational flexibility to curtail
gas production in the event of continued declines in natural gas
prices. The contracts were converted at no cost to the Company
and the conversion of these contracts to derivative instruments
was effective upon entering into these transactions in March
2009, with upcoming settlements for production months through
December 2010.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had the following open
commodity derivative contracts to manage price risk on a portion
of its natural gas production whereby the Company receives the
fixed price and pays the variable price. See Note 7 for the
detail of the asset and liability values of the following
derivatives.

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement”. We
adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the
measurement date and establishes a three level hierarchy for
measuring fair value. The statement requires fair value
measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following
categories:

In consideration of counterparty credit risk, the Company
assessed the possibility of whether each counterparty to the
derivative would default by failing to make any contractually
required payments as scheduled in the derivative instrument in
determining the fair value. Additionally, the Company considers
that it is of substantial credit quality and has the financial
resources and willingness to meet its potential repayment
obligations associated with the derivative transactions.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments is the amount
at which the instrument could be exchanged currently between
willing parties. The carrying amounts reported in the
consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value
due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial
instruments. We use available market data and valuation
methodologies to estimate the fair value of debt. This
disclosure is presented in accordance with SFAS 107,
“Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP
<font style="white-space: nowrap">FAS 107-1</font>
and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion
<font style="white-space: nowrap">No. 28-1</font>
(collectively, “FSP
<font style="white-space: nowrap">FAS 107-1”),</font>
“Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments.” FSP
<font style="white-space: nowrap">FAS 107-1</font>
amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments,” to require an entity to
provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in
interim financial information. The FSP
<font style="white-space: nowrap">FAS 107-1</font>
also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial
Reporting,” to require those disclosures about the fair
value of financial instruments in summarized financial
information at interim reporting periods. Under FSP
<font style="white-space: nowrap">FAS 107-1,</font>
the Company is required to include disclosures about the fair
value of its financial instruments whenever it issues financial
information for interim reporting periods. In addition, the
Company is required to disclose in the body or in the
accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for
interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for
annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial
instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value,
whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of
financial position. FSP
<font style="white-space: nowrap">FAS 107-1</font>
is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and its
adoption had no impact on the Company’s results of
operations and financial condition but requires additional
disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in the
financial statements.

The Company is currently involved in various routine disputes
and allegations incidental to its business operations. While it
is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of these
matters, the Company believes that the resolution of all such
pending or threatened litigation is not likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position
or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent
Events (“SFAS No. 165”), setting forth
principles and requirements to be applied to the accounting for
and disclosure of subsequent events. The statement sets forth
the period after the balance sheet date during which management
shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for
potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements,
the circumstances under which events or transactions occurring
after the balance sheet date shall be recognized in the
financial statements and the required disclosures about events
or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.
SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be
applied prospectively. Accordingly, the Company has adopted this
pronouncement for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The
Company has evaluated the period subsequent to June 30,
2009 and through August 4, 2009 (the date the financial
statements were available to be issued) for events that did not
exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date and
determined that no subsequent events arose that should be
disclosed in order to keep the financial statements from being
misleading.
