Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On November 1, 2002, EXCO Resources, Inc. ("EXCO") completed the acquisition of certain oil and natural gas properties located in the DJ Basin of Colorado (the "DJ Basin Properties") from Southwestern Eagle, L.L.C. and SW Production Company (collectively the "Sellers" or "Southwestern"). The properties consist of 111 producing oil and natural gas wells. Under terms of the acquisition, EXCO became the operator of 108 of the wells. As of October 1, 2002, estimated total proved reserves net to EXCO's interest included 2.1 million barrels (Mmbbls) of oil and natural gas liquids and 13.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas. Production for September 2002, net to EXCO's interest, was approximately 630 Bbls of oil and NGLs per day, and 3.7 million cubic feet (Mmcf) of natural gas per day.

        The purchase price consisted of $22.0 million cash ($21.1 million after contractual adjustments). The net purchase price is subject to further adjustment based on the final settlement statement which shall be prepared and delivered by the Sellers on or before January 30, 2003. The cash consideration was paid from $19.7 million of borrowings under EXCO's restated U.S. credit agreement, and $1.4 million from surplus cash. The effective date of the acquisition was October 1, 2002. The purchase price was determined through arms-length negotiations between the parties, taking into account reserve estimates and other items customarily considered in acquisitions of this type.

        The DJ Basin Properties were acquired pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of October 18, 2002, entered into between the Sellers and EXCO. The Purchase Agreement includes representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and closing conditions customary for transactions of this type.
