Initially, we financed the acquisition with our available cash on hand. In the near term, we expect to establish a new project financing facility to finance the acquisition and to fund the capital expenditure program for the Barnett Shale play.

PINNACLE GAS RESOURCES, INC.

As of December 31, 2003, on a fully diluted basis, assuming that all parties exercised their Pinnacle Warrants and Pinnacle Options, the CSFB Parties, CCBM and RMG would have ownership interests of approximately 46.2%, 26.9% and 26.9%, respectively. In March 2004, the CSFB Parties contributed additional funds of $11.8 million into Pinnacle to continue funding the 2004 development program which will increase their ownership to 66.7% on a fully diluted basis should CCBM and RMG each elect not to exercise their available options.

OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES

Proved reserves are estimated quantities of oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are proved reserves that can reasonably be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

Proved oil and natural gas reserve quantities at December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the related discounted future net cash flows before income taxes are based on estimates prepared by Ryder Scott Company and Fairchild & Wells, Inc., independent petroleum engineers. Such estimates have been prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company's net ownership interests in estimated quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves and changes in net proved reserves, all of which are located in the continental United States, are summarized below:
