The US Federal Government levies corporate income taxes at the entity level rather than on a per-project basis. Accordingly, the Company has disclosed payments of taxes at the entity level. The payments relate not to particular projects but to the consolidated income of the Company. The Company&#x2019;s wholly owned subsidiary, Seneca Resources Company, LLC (&#x201C;Seneca&#x201D;), is engaged in the commercial development of natural gas and oil principally in Pennsylvania, and in New York. Seneca&#x2019;s method of extraction is &#x201C;well.&#x201D; Seneca also has small working interests as a non-operator in certain oil and natural gas wells located in Texas.</link:footnote>
