NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2005
(Unaudited)

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -

     Basis of Presentation

     In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Comstock Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Comstock” or the “Company”) as of June 30, 2005 and the related results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although Comstock believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Comstock’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Comstock and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest. Investments in 50% or less owned entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily an indication of the results expected for the full year.

     Investment in Bois d’Arc Energy

     As of December 31, 2004, Comstock owned 59.9% of Bois d’Arc Energy, LLC, a limited liability company that conducts exploration, development and production operations in state and federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Comstock accounted for its interest in Bois d’Arc Energy, LLC based on its proportionate ownership in such entity until May 10, 2005 when Bois d’Arc Energy, LLC was converted to a corporation and changed its name to Bois d’Arc Energy, Inc. (“Bois d’Arc”). On May 11, 2005 Bois d’Arc completed an initial public offering of 13.5 million shares of common stock at $13.00 per share to the public. Bois d’Arc sold 12.0 million shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $143.6 million and a selling stockholder sold 1.5 million shares. On May 11, 2005, Bois d’Arc used the proceeds from its initial public offering together with borrowings under a new bank credit facility to repay $158.0 million in outstanding advances from Comstock. As a result of Bois d’Arc’s conversion to a corporation and the offering, Comstock’s ownership in Bois d’Arc decreased to 48.3% and Comstock discontinued accounting for its interest in Bois d’Arc using the proportionate consolidation method and began using the equity method to account for its investment in Bois d’Arc.

     At the time that Bois d’Arc converted to a corporation it recorded a one time tax provision of $108.2 million to record a deferred tax liability. Comstock has recognized its proportionate share of this one time provision for taxes of $64.6 million in its equity in loss of Bois d’Arc in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the initial public offering completed by Bois d’Arc, Comstock recognized a gain of $28.8 million on its investment in Bois d’Arc based on Comstock’s share of the amount that Bois d’Arc’s equity was increased as a result of the sale of shares in the offering.

     Comstock has not previously owned interest in a subsidiary which has sold shares. The Company has no present plans for any future sale of Bois d’Arc common stock and has elected to adopt a policy of recognizing its proportional share of the gain when Bois d’Arc sells shares to third parties as permitted under Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51.

     Comstock’s investment in Bois d’Arc represents the value of the assets contributed at the time of its formation, the Company’s 59.9% interest in the undistributed earnings of Bois d’Arc Energy, LLC from inception through May 10, 2005, the portion of Bois d’Arc’s net income attributable to the Company’s 48.3% interest in the outstanding common stock of Bois d’Arc since the adoption of the equity method of accounting for this investment and the gain recognized based on our share of the amount that Bois d’Arc’s equity increased as a result of the sale of shares in Bois d’Arc’s initial public offering.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

     Bois d’Arc’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BDE”. As of June 30, 2005, the stock closed at $14.75 per share.

     Financial information reported by Bois d’Arc is summarized below:

Net Income (Loss)			(92,441	)(1)			16,344				(75,379	)(1)			23,375

     Income Taxes

     Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the future tax consequences or benefits of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates. The difference between the Company’s customary rate of 36.1% and the effective tax rates of 31.7% and 43.6% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, is due to permanent book tax differences that, as a percentage of income, are larger due to the recording of one time items associated with the Company’s equity investment in Bois d’Arc Energy.

     The following is an analysis of the consolidated income tax expense:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2005				2004				2005				2004
		(In thousands)
Current		$	987			$	1,314			$	2,104			$	3,314

     Stock-Based Compensation

     Comstock follows the fair value based method prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) in accounting for employee stock-based compensation. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the award vesting period. The fair value of each award is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. During the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense within general and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $3.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

     Asset Retirement Obligations

     Comstock’s primary asset retirement obligations relate to future plugging and abandonment expenses on its oil and gas properties and related facilities disposal. The following table summarizes the changes in Comstock’s total estimated liability during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

		Six Months Ended June 30,
		2005				2004

     Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share is determined without the effect of any outstanding potentially dilutive stock options or other convertible securities and diluted earnings per share is determined with the effect of outstanding stock options and other convertible securities that are potentially dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 diluted shares are the same as basic shares because the Company had a net loss. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were determined as follows:

     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     Comstock periodically uses swaps, floors and collars to hedge oil and natural gas prices and interest rates. Swaps are settled monthly based on differences between the prices specified in the instruments and the settlement prices of futures contracts. Generally, when the applicable settlement price is less than the price specified in the contract, Comstock receives a settlement from the counter party based on the difference multiplied by the volume or amounts hedged. Similarly, when the applicable settlement price exceeds the price specified in the contract, Comstock pays the counter party based on the difference. Comstock generally receives a settlement from the counter party for floors when the applicable settlement price is less than the price specified in the contract, which is based on the difference multiplied by the volume amounts hedged. For collars, generally Comstock receives a settlement from the counter party when the settlement price is below the floor and pays a settlement to the counter party when the settlement price exceeds the cap. No settlement occurs when the settlement price falls between the floor and cap. The fair value of derivative contracts at June 30, 2005 are included in current liabilities.

(continued)

     The following table sets forth the derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2005 which relate to Comstock’s natural gas production:

Period		Period						Delivery		Type of

January 1, 2006		December 31, 2006			2,400,000			Houston Ship Channel		Collar		$	4.50			$	8.25

     Comstock did not designate these instruments as cash flow hedges and accordingly, a loss on derivatives of $3.2 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to reflect the change in this liability since December 31, 2004.

(2) ACQUISITION —

     On May 12, 2005, Comstock completed an acquisition of certain oil and gas properties and related assets from EnSight Energy Partners, L.P. (“EnSight”) for $191.6 million. Comstock acquired producing properties in East Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Comstock estimates that the acquired properties have proved reserves of approximately 120.2 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent. The acquisition had an effective date of April 1, 2005. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from a public stock offering completed in April 2005 and borrowings under Comstock’s bank credit facility.

     Set forth in the following table is certain unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. This information has been prepared assuming the EnSight Acquisition was consummated on January 1, 2004 and is based on estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by Comstock. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only. If the transaction had occurred in the past, Comstock’s operating results might have been different from those presented in the following table. The pro forma information should not be relied upon as an indication of the operating results that Comstock would have achieved if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2004. The pro forma information also should not be used as an indication of the future results that Comstock will achieve after the acquisition.

     Comstock has $175.0 million of 6⁷/8% senior notes which are due March 1, 2012, with interest payable semiannually on each March 1 and September 1. These notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Comstock also has a $400.0 million bank credit facility with Bank of Montreal, as the administrative agent which is guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries. The credit facility is a four-year revolving credit commitment that matures on February 25, 2008. Borrowings under the credit facility are limited to a borrowing base that was $300.0 million as of June 30, 2005. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by substantially all of Comstock’s and its subsidiaries’ assets and is guaranteed by all of the subsidiaries. The credit facility is subject to borrowing base availability, which is redetermined semiannually based on the banks’ estimates of the future net cash flows of Comstock’s oil and natural gas properties. The borrowing base may be affected by the performance of Comstock’s properties and changes in oil and natural gas prices. The determination of the borrowing base is at the sole discretion of the administrative agent and the bank group. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, based on the utilization of the borrowing base, at Comstock’s option at either LIBOR plus 1.25% to 1.75% or the base rate (which is the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate) plus 0% to 0.5%. A commitment fee of 0.375% is payable on the unused borrowing base. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the payment of cash dividends, limit the amount of consolidated debt that Comstock may incur and limit its ability to make certain loans and investments. The only financial covenants are the maintenance of a current ratio and maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth. Comstock was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

     In 2004, Comstock repurchased $220.0 million in principal amount of its 11¹/4% senior notes due 2007 (the “1999 Notes”). The early extinguishment of the 1999 Notes resulted in a loss of $19.6 million which was comprised of the premium paid for repurchase of the 1999 Notes together with the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 1999 Notes.

(4) STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY —

     On April 4, 2005 Comstock completed a public offering of 4,545,454 shares of its common stock at a price of $27.50 per share to the public. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and expenses, were $121.2 million. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Company’s bank credit facility which was subsequently used to fund the acquisition of oil and gas properties from EnSight.

REPORT OF REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Comstock Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (a Nevada corporation) (the Company) as of June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Comstock Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended [not presented herein], and in our report dated March 17, 2005 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2:		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements due to many factors. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report and in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Investment in Bois d’Arc Energy

     Bois d’Arc Energy, Inc. (“Bois d’Arc”) was organized in July 2004 as a limited liability company through the contribution of substantially all of our offshore properties together with the properties of Bois d’Arc Resources, Ltd. and its partners. We initially owned 59.9% of Bois d’Arc, and we accounted for our share of the Bois d’Arc financial and operating results using proportionate consolidation accounting until Bois d’Arc converted into a corporation and completed its initial public offering in May 2005. Subsequent to this public offering of shares and the conversion of Bois d’Arc into a corporation, we own 48.3% of Bois d’Arc. Since proportionate consolidation is not a generally accepted accounting principle applicable to an investment in a corporation, we changed our accounting method for our investment in Bois d’Arc to the equity method concurrent with Bois d’Arc’s conversion to a corporation. The onshore data in the tables below contains the results of operations for our direct ownership in our onshore oil and gas properties. The offshore results for 2005 include our proportionate interest in the operations of Bois d’Arc based upon our ownership interests throughout the periods presented. The equity method adjustments reflect the reductions to our share of Bois d’Arc’s operating results which are necessary to apply the equity method of accounting for all periods subsequent to the conversion of Bois d’Arc to corporation. The results for offshore operations in 2004 represent our direct ownership interests in offshore properties which were ultimately contributed to Bois d’Arc upon its formation.

Revenues —

     Our total oil and gas sales increased $2.0 million (3%) in the second quarter of 2005 to $68.5 million, from $66.5 million in 2004’s second quarter. Oil and gas sales from our onshore operations increased to $56.0 million, an increase of $15.6 million or 39%, from $40.4 million in the second quarter of 2004. This increase is attributable to higher oil and gas prices and increased production related to our onshore properties. Our average onshore natural gas price increased by 20% and our average onshore crude oil price increased by 23% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Onshore production increased by 15% in the second quarter of 2005 over the second quarter of 2004 due to new production from our successful drilling activity and the additional production attributable to the properties we acquired from EnSight in May 2005. Revenues from our offshore operations of $25.9 million were comparable to offshore revenues in the second quarter of 2004 of $26.1 million as higher oil and gas prices realized were offset by lower production. Our average offshore natural gas price increased by 4% and our average crude oil price increased by 32% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period last year. Offshore production in the second quarter of 2005 decreased by 13% from the second quarter of 2004. The lower offshore production was primarily attributable to the reduction in our ownership in Bois d’Arc from 59.9% to 48.3% which occurred in May 2005.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our oil and gas sales increased $11.0 million (9%) to $138.4 million from $127.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in oil and gas sales from onshore operations of $18.0 million to $99.8 million for the first six months of 2005 over the same period last year primarily resulted from an 11% increase in oil and gas prices and a 3% increase in production. Oil and gas sales from offshore operations of $52.0 million during the first six months of 2005 increased 14% from last year’s first six months due primarily to a 15% increase in the average oil and natural gas prices we realized in 2005 offset by the reduction in our ownership in Bois d’Arc from 59.9% to 48.3% which occurred in May 2005.

Costs and Expenses —

     Our oil and gas operating expenses, including production taxes, increased $0.4 million (3%) to $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2004. Oil and gas operating expenses per equivalent Mcf produced increased $0.19 to $1.29 in the second quarter of 2005 from $1.10 in the second quarter of 2004. Onshore operating expenses for the second quarter of 2005 of $10.8 million increased by $4.2 million when compared to the same quarter in 2004 due to the acquisition of the EnSight properties, the start up of new wells and higher production taxes due to increased oil and gas prices. Offshore oil and gas operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $4.4 million decreased $1.4 million (25%) due to our lower ownership interest in certain high cost fields that were contributed to Bois d’Arc. Oil and gas operating expenses per Mcfe produced increased $0.12 to $1.26 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.14 for the same period in 2004. The increase in operating expenses in 2005 is primarily related to higher production taxes and higher field operating costs of our properties.

     In the second quarter of 2005, we had a $15.2 million provision for exploration expense as compared to a $1.8 million provision in the second quarter of 2004. The provision in the second quarter of 2005 primarily relates to an exploratory dry hole drilled to test the “Big Sandy” prospect in Polk County, Texas. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we had a provision for exploration expense totaling $17.3 million as compared to $5.2 million in the same period in 2004. The provision for the first six months of 2005 primarily related to the Big Sandy dry hole and the acquisition of 3-D seismic data.

     Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) increased $0.3 million (2%) to $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2004. DD&A associated with our onshore properties increased by $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 to $12.8 million primarily due to our increased production and an increase in our amortization rate. Our DD&A rate per Mcfe produced for our onshore properties averaged $1.53 for the second quarter of 2005 as compared to $1.15 for the second quarter of 2004. The increase relates to higher costs of acquired properties since June 30, 2004 together with an increase in capitalized costs on our existing properties. Offshore DD&A for the second quarter of 2005 declined slightly for the three months ended June 30, 2004 primarily reflecting lower produced volumes. Our offshore properties DD&A rate also increased to $1.94 per Mcfe in the second quarter of 2005 from $1.78 per Mcfe produced in the second quarter of 2004. The increase relates to higher capitalized costs on our offshore properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, DD&A increased $1.8 million (6%) to $33.2 million from $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase is due to the higher onshore production and our higher average amortization rate. DD&A for our onshore properties increased $6.0 million to $23.0 million (35%) from $17.0 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase is due to the 3% increase in onshore production and the increased amortization rate of $1.50 per Mcfe in the first half of 2004. The higher rate is attributable to higher costs of acquisitions made since June 30, 2004 and increased capitalization costs on our existing onshore properties. The DD&A associated with our offshore properties of $13.8 million for the first six months of 2005 was comparable to the DD&A for the offshore properties in the same period in 2004.

     General and administrative expenses, which are reported net of overhead reimbursements, of $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2005 were 31% higher than general and administrative expenses of $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, general and administrative expenses increased to $8.0 million from $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increases are primarily related to the general and administrative costs, primarily stock-based compensation, incurred by Bois d’Arc following its formation in July 2004, while it was proportionally consolidated.

     Interest expense increased $0.2 million (4%) to $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2005 from $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase is related to higher interest rates. The average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility increased to 4.3% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 2.6% in the second quarter of 2004. Average borrowings under the bank credit facility decreased in the second quarter of 2005 to $137.7 million as compared to $154.9 million for the second quarter of 2004. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased $0.3 million (3%) to $10.5 million from $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is attributable to lower average borrowings under the bank credit facility which was partially offset by higher interest rates. The average interest rate under the bank credit facility increased to 4.3% in the first half of 2005 as compared to 2.6% in the first half of 2004.

     Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, we began accounting for our share of the earnings from Bois d’Arc under the equity method on an after-tax basis. Accordingly, our results for the second quarter of 2005 include $61.2 million for our equity in the loss of Bois d’Arc. This loss includes a one time provision of $64.6 million associated with recognizing, under the equity method of accounting, our proportionate share of the cumulative deferred tax liabilities recorded by Bois d’Arc when it converted from a limited liability company to a corporation. We also recognized a gain of $28.8 million on our investment in Bois d’Arc based on our share of the amount that Bois d’Arc’s equity increased as a result of the sale of shares in the Bois d’Arc offering.

     We reported net loss of $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to net income of $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Net loss per share for the second quarter of 2005 was $0.27 on weighted average basic shares outstanding of 39.8 million as compared to $0.52 for the second quarter of 2004 on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 36.1 million. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $5.0 million, as compared to net income of $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net income per common share on weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.12 as compared to net income of $0.52 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Excluding the effect of the one-time adjustments for Bois d’Arc’s conversion to a corporation and its initial public offering, our net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 would have been $12.7 million or $0.30 per share and $28.6 million or $0.72 per share, respectively. The 2004 results include a charge of $19.6 million ($12.5 million after income taxes or 35¢ per diluted share) relating to the early retirement of our 11¹/4% senior notes.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The information included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 is incorporated herein by reference.

     There have been no material changes to our accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2005 except for the change to the equity method for our investment in Bois d’Arc and the adoption of a policy of accounting for sales of shares by subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Funding for our activities has historically been provided by our operating cash flow, debt or equity financings or asset dispositions. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our net cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $99.6 million and we received net proceeds of $126.2 million from issuances of our common stock. We repaid principal on outstanding debt of $262.2 million and borrowed $166.0 million under our bank credit facility.

     Our primary needs for capital, in addition to funding our ongoing operations, relate to the acquisition, development and exploration of our oil and gas properties and the repayment of our debt. In the first half of 2005, we incurred capital expenditures of $280.6 million primarily for our acquisition, development and exploration activities and we made advances to Bois d’Arc of $6.4 million and were repaid $158.1 million by Bois d’Arc when it completed its initial public offering.

     The following table summarizes our capital expenditure activity for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

		Six Months Ended
		June 30,
		2005				2004
		(In thousands)
Onshore:
Acquisition of the EnSight properties		$	191,573			$	—
Leasehold costs			1,501				1,157
Development drilling			35,390				7,968
Exploratory drilling			12,623				5,270
Other development			6,761				4,189

Offshore(1)			32,713				53,538
Other			49				205
		$	280,610			$	72,327

     The timing of most of our capital expenditures is discretionary because we have no material long-term capital expenditure commitments. Consequently, we have a significant degree of flexibility to adjust the level of our capital expenditures as circumstances warrant. We spent $89.0 million and $72.1 million on development and exploration activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We have budgeted approximately $57.0 million for development and exploration projects for the second half of 2005. We expect to use internally generated cash flow to fund our development and exploration activity.

     On May 12, 2005, we completed an acquisition of certain oil and gas properties and related assets in East Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi from EnSight Energy Partners, L.P., EnSight Laurel Production, LLC, Fairfield Midstream Services, LLC and EnSight Management, LLC (collectively “EnSight”) for $191.6 million in cash. The transaction had an effective date of April 1, 2005.

     We do not have a specific acquisition budget for 2005 since the timing and size of acquisitions are not predictable. We intend to use borrowings under our bank credit facility, or other debt or equity financings to the extent available, to finance significant acquisitions. The availability and attractiveness of these sources of financing will depend upon a number of factors, some of which will relate to our financial condition and performance and some of which will be beyond our control, such as prevailing interest rates, oil and natural gas prices and other market conditions.

     On April 4, 2005, we completed a public offering of 4,545,454 shares of our common stock at a price of $27.50 per share to the public. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and expenses, of $121.2 million were used to partially fund our acquisition of properties from EnSight.

     We have a $400.0 million bank credit facility with Bank of Montreal, as the administrative agent. The credit facility is a four-year revolving credit commitment that matures on February 25, 2008. Borrowings under the credit facility are limited to a borrowing base that was $300.0 million at June 30, 2005. We also have $175.0 million of 6⁷/8% senior notes due March 1, 2012, with interest payable semiannually on each March 1 and September 1. The notes are unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by all of our wholly owned subsidiaries.

     Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and is guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries. The credit facility is subject to borrowing base availability, which is redetermined semiannually based on the banks’ estimates of the future net cash flows of our oil and natural gas properties. The borrowing base may be affected by the performance of our properties and changes in oil and natural gas prices. The determination of the borrowing base is at the sole discretion of the administrative agent and the bank group. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, based on the utilization of the borrowing base, at our option at either LIBOR plus 1.25% to 1.75% or the base rate (which is the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate) plus 0% to 0.5%. A commitment fee of 0.375% is payable on the unused borrowing base. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the payment of cash dividends, limit the amount of consolidated debt that we may incur and limit our ability to make certain loans and investments. The only financial covenants are the maintenance of a current ratio and maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2005.

     We believe that our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our bank credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations and future growth as contemplated under our current business plan. However, if our plans or assumptions change or if our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, we may be required to seek additional capital. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain such capital, or if such capital is available, that we will be able to obtain it on terms acceptable to us.

ITEM 3:		QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Oil and Natural Gas Prices

     Our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of oil and natural gas. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties due to a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Factors influencing oil and natural gas prices include the level of global demand for crude oil, the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by oil exporting countries, weather conditions that determine the demand for natural gas, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall economic conditions. It is impossible to predict future oil and natural gas prices with any degree of certainty. Sustained weakness in oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, and may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas reserves that we can produce economically. Any reduction in our oil and natural gas reserves, including reductions due to price fluctuations, can have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain capital for our exploration and development activities. Similarly, any improvements in oil and natural gas prices can have a favorable impact on our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources. Based on our oil and natural gas production in the six months ended June 30, 2005, a $1.00 change in the price per barrel of oil would have resulted in a change in our cash flow for such period by approximately $0.5 million and a $1.00 change in the price per Mcf of natural gas would have changed our cash flow by approximately $16.3 million.

Interest Rates

     At June 30, 2005, we had total long-term debt of $307.0 million. Of this amount, $175.0 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 6⁷/8%. We had $132.0 million outstanding under our bank credit facility, which bears interest at a fluctuating rate that is linked to LIBOR or the corporate base rate, at our option. Any increases in these interest rates can have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flow.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     As of June 30, 2005, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     Prior to issuance of our second quarter consolidated financial statements and subsequent to our initial press release of earnings for the quarter, adjustments relating to the deferred taxes at Bois d’Arc and the gain on the Bois d’Arc initial public offering were identified and recorded. These are highly technical accounting areas and management has developed a more formal process for documentation and approval of technical matters.

     There were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
