SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Certain statements in this document or incorporated herein by reference may
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States
Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can
generally be identified as such because of the context of the statements
including words such as the Company "believes", "anticipates", "expects",
"plans", "estimates" or words of a similar nature.

The forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject
to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results,
to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
among others: the general economic and business conditions which will, among
other things, impact demand for and market prices of the Company's products; the
foreign currency exchange rates; the economic conditions in the countries and
regions in which the Company conducts business; the political uncertainty,
including actions of or against terrorists, insurgent groups or other conflict
including conflict between states; the industry capacity; the ability of the
Company to implement its business strategy, including exploration and
development activities; the ability of the Company to complete its capital
programs; the ability of the Company to transport its products to market;
potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development
projects or capital expenditures; the availability and cost of financing; the
success of exploration and development activities; the production levels; the
uncertainty of reserve estimates; the actions by governmental authorities; the
government regulations and the expenditures required to comply with them
(especially safety and environmental laws and regulations); the site restoration
costs; and other circumstances affecting revenues and expenses. The impact of
any one factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable
with certainty as such factors are interdependent upon other factors, and
management's course of action would depend upon its assessment of the future
considering all information then available.

Statements relating to "reserves" are deemed to be forward-looking statements,
as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and
assumptions that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the
future.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of important factors is not
exhaustive. Although the Company believes that the expectations conveyed by the
forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information available to it
on the date such forward-looking statements are made, no assurances can be given
as to future results, levels of activity and achievements. All subsequent
forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to the Company
or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by
these cautionary statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update
forward-looking statements should circumstances or management's estimates or
opinions change.
