equivalent (&#147;BOE&#148;), (ii)&nbsp;pre-tax present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, discounted at 10 percent (&#147;PV-10&#148;), (iii)&nbsp;Adjusted EBITDAX and (iv)&nbsp;net loss applicable to common
shareholders, as adjusted, are presented in the press release. In each case, the amounts included in the calculations of these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;). As part of the press
release information, we have provided definitions or reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure or measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that investors can more

represents total product revenues less total direct operating expenses, excluding acquisition transaction expenses. Operating margin per BOE is equal to operating margin divided by total crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production on
an oil equivalent basis. Operating margin is not adjusted for the impact of hedges. We believe that operating margin per BOE is an important measure that can be used by security analysts and investors to evaluate our operating margin per unit of
production and to compare it to other oil and gas companies, as well as for comparisons to other time periods. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PV-10 value is the
estimated future net cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent before giving effect to income taxes. The standardized measure is the after-tax estimated future cash flows from estimated proved reserves
discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent, determined in accordance with GAAP. We use <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">PV-10</FONT> value as one measure of the value of our estimated proved reserves and to compare relative values of proved reserves
among exploration and production companies without regard to income taxes. We believe that securities analysts and rating agencies use PV-10 value in similar ways. Our management believes PV-10 value is a useful measure for comparison of proved
reserve values among companies because, unlike standardized measure, it excludes future income taxes that often depend principally on the characteristics of the owner of the reserves rather than on the nature, location and quality of the reserves
themselves. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted EBITDAX represents net loss before income tax expense or benefit, interest expense, depreciation, depletion and

non-cash items. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies
within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within our industry. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of

shareholders, as adjusted, are presented in the press release. In each case, the amounts included in the calculations of these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). As part of the press
release information, we have provided definitions or reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure or measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that investors can more
accurately understand our financial results if they have access to the same financial measures used by management.
Operating margin
represents total product revenues less total direct operating expenses, excluding acquisition transaction expenses. Operating margin per BOE is equal to operating margin divided by total crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production on
an oil equivalent basis. Operating margin is not adjusted for the impact of hedges. We believe that operating margin per BOE is an important measure that can be used by security analysts and investors to evaluate our operating margin per unit of
production and to compare it to other oil and gas companies, as well as for comparisons to other time periods.
PV-10 value is the
estimated future net cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent before giving effect to income taxes. The standardized measure is the after-tax estimated future cash flows from estimated proved reserves
discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent, determined in accordance with GAAP. We use
PV-10
value as one measure of the value of our estimated proved reserves and to compare relative values of proved reserves
among exploration and production companies without regard to income taxes. We believe that securities analysts and rating agencies use PV-10 value in similar ways. Our management believes PV-10 value is a useful measure for comparison of proved
reserve values among companies because, unlike standardized measure, it excludes future income taxes that often depend principally on the characteristics of the owner of the reserves rather than on the nature, location and quality of the reserves
themselves.
Adjusted EBITDAX represents net loss before income tax expense or benefit, interest expense, depreciation, depletion and
amortization expense, exploration expense and share-based compensation expense, further adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, acquisition transaction expenses, impairments, net gains and losses on the
sale of assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on firm transportation commitment and other
non-cash items. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies
within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within our industry. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of
liquidity or as an alternative to net loss. Adjusted EBITDAX represents EBITDAX as defined in our revolving credit facility.
Net loss
applicable to common shareholders, as adjusted, represents net loss, less preferred stock dividends, adjusted to exclude the effects, net of income taxes, of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, acquisition transaction expenses,
impairments, restructuring costs, net gains and losses on the sale of assets, loss on extinguishment of debt and loss on firm transportation commitment. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in
the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within our industry. Net loss applicable to common
shareholders, as adjusted, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net loss applicable to common shareholders.
