UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INTRODUCTION
     Encore Acquisition Company (“Encore”), a Delaware corporation, acquires and develops oil and natural gas reserves from onshore fields in the United States. Since 1998, it has acquired producing properties with proven reserves and leasehold acreage and grown the production and proven reserves by drilling, exploring, reengineering or expanding existing waterflood projects, and by applying tertiary recovery techniques.
     On January 16, 2007, Encore entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire certain oil and natural gas properties in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming (“Big Horn”) from certain subsidiaries of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”). Big Horn is comprised of assets in or near the Elk Basin field (“Elk Basin”) in Park County, Wyoming and Carbon County, Montana and the Gooseberry field (“Gooseberry”) in Park County, Wyoming.
     The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read together with the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Encore included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Encore included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements were derived by making certain adjustments to the historical financial statements of Encore. The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, the actual adjustments may differ from the unaudited consolidated pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions as contemplated and that the unaudited consolidated pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated pro forma financial statements give effect to the acquisition of Big Horn by Encore. The unaudited consolidated pro forma balance sheet assumes that the acquisition and related transactions occurred on December 31, 2006, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 assumes that the acquisition and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2006, and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 assumes that the acquisition and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2007.
     The Big Horn acquisition was completed on March 7, 2007 and accordingly, the actual operating results related to the acquired properties are included in Encore’s operating results from that date forward.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
     The historical financial information is derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Encore. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been prepared as if the acquisition and related transactions had taken place on December 31, 2006. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 assumes that the acquisition and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 assumes that the acquisition and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2006.
Note 2. Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments
      We made the following adjustments in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial statements:
 
  a)   To record the acquisition of Big Horn for $393.1 million (including estimated merger costs of approximately $1.0 million) financed with borrowings under Encore’s revolving credit facilities. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and, therefore, subject to change. Any future adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price are not expected to have a material effect on Encore’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
      The calculation of the total purchase price and the allocation to the fair value of the Big Horn Basin assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Anadarko are as follows (in thousands):
         
Calculation of total purchase price:
       
Cash paid to Anadarko
  $ 392,085  
Estimated transaction costs
    990  
 
     
Total purchase price
  $ 393,075  
 
     
 
       
Allocation of purchase price to the fair value of net assets acquired:
       
Accounts receivable
  $ 1,234  
Properties and equipment
    404,374  
 
     
Total assets acquired
    405,608  
 
     
Accrued liabilities
    (2,897 )
Future abandonment cost
    (9,636 )
 
     
Total liabilities assumed
    (12,533 )
 
     
Fair value of net assets acquired
  $ 393,075  
 
     
  b)   Reflects the payment of debt issuance costs of $8.2 million incurred on Encore’s revolving credit facilities allocated to Gooseberry and Elk Basin based on percentage of total properties and equipment.
 
  c)   Reflects the adjustment of additional depletion, depreciation, and amortization of oil and natural gas properties associated with the Big Horn purchase price allocation. Certain plant and pipeline equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. The remaining capitalized costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the remaining life of total proved developed reserves or proved reserves, as applicable.
 
  d)   Reflects the incremental general and administrative expenses we estimate would have been incurred had we purchased the properties on the first day of the period presented.
 
  e)   Reflects estimated incremental interest expense associated with borrowings under Encore’s revolving credit facilities to acquire Big Horn. We assume none of that debt is paid off during the periods covered in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations. If the LIBOR rate increased 1/8%, we would incur an additional $0.5 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006, and if the rate decreased 1/8%, we would incur $0.5 million less. If the LIBOR rate increased 1/8%, we would incur an additional $0.1 million in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and if the rate decreased 1/8%, we would incur $0.1 million less.

  f)   Reflects the amortization of debt issuance costs incurred on Encore’s revolving credit facilities.
 
  g)   Reflects estimated income tax provision associated with the operating income of Big Horn and the pro forma adjustments using a 38.5% and 37.5% effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

(a)   Options to purchase 1,498,202 shares and 190,406 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the above calculation of EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, because their effect would be antidilutive.
Note 4. Oil & Natural Gas Producing Activities
     There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. Oil and natural gas reserve engineering is and must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in any exact way, and estimates of other engineers might differ materially from those included herein. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering, and estimates may justify revisions. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often materially different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. Reserve estimates are integral to management’s analysis of impairments of oil and natural gas properties and the calculation of depletion, depreciation, and amortization on these properties.
     Estimated pro forma net quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves are as follows as of December 31, 2006:

     Reserves for the Big Horn Acquisition as of December 31, 2005 as shown in the table above are derived from unaudited footnotes to the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Anadarko Elk Basin Operations and the Anadarko Gooseberry Operations. Reserves for the Big Horn Acquisition as of December 31, 2006 as shown in the table above were estimated by our internal engineering staff. These amounts differ from the reserves at December 31, 2006 included in the unaudited footnotes to the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Anadarko Elk Basin Operations and the Anadarko Gooseberry Operations. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves. Oil and natural gas reserve engineering is and must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in any exact way, and estimates of different engineers often differ materially based on the judgment of the engineer performing the estimate. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering, and estimates may justify revisions. Management believes both estimates represent valid estimates and no attempt has been made to reconcile the different estimates as they are based on the judgment of different engineers. The amount by which these two amounts differ has been included as a revision of quantity estimates in the above table.
