<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Significant estimates with regard to these
financial statements include the estimate of proved oil and gas
reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash
flow therefrom and asset retirement obligations. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.</font></p>
