ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

      Please refer to the Form 8-K filed July 15, 2003. The Bobcat property was
the only property held by RMG which had proved reserves and production of
coalbed methane gas. Bobcat was transferred to Pinnacle Gas Resources, Inc.
Therefore, RMG presently has no proved reserves of coalbed methane, and no
longer is receiving revenues from sale of coalbed methane. The Bobcat reserves
and production are held and received by Pinnacle, and RMG owns an equity stake
in Pinnacle. See the Form 8-K filed July 15, 2003 for further information.
