Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measures of net income
(loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA helps us evaluate our operating performance and compare our results of operation from period to period without regard to our financing
methods or capital structure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset
retirement obligations, property impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, non-recurring income and expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense,
including stock option and grant expense and restricted stock expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or cash flows as determined by GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with
GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity.

While we and our partners continue to evaluate the results from the initial test well and plan for its completion and further testing, we expect a significant portion of our acreage will be allowed  to expire during 2012

We believe approximately 8,000 gross and 4,000 net acres are no longer prospective, and we plan to let them expire without drilling during 2012
