those projected in such forward-looking statements include: there can be no
assurance as to the volume of gas that is ultimately produced or sold from
our wells; due to limitations under Chinese law, we may have only limited
rights to enforce the gas sales agreement between Shanxi Province Guoxin
Energy Development Group Limited and China United Coalbed Methane
Corporation, Ltd., to which we are an express beneficiary; additional
pipelines and gathering systems needed to transport our gas may not be
constructed, or if constructed may not be timely, or their routes may differ
from those anticipated; the pipeline and local distribution/compressed
natural gas companies may decline to purchase or take our gas, or we may not
be able to enforce our rights under definitive agreements with pipelines;
conflicts with coal mining operations or coordination of our exploration and
production activities with mining activities could adversely impact or add
significant costs to our operations; certain of the proposed transactions
with Dart Energy (formerly Arrow Energy) may not close on a timely basis or
at all, including due to a failure to satisfy closing conditions or
otherwise; the anticipated benefits to us of the transactions with Dart

may be different than anticipated; Dart Energy may exercise its right to
terminate the Farmout Agreement at any time; the Chinese Ministry of Commerce
("MOC") may not approve the extension of our PSCs on a timely basis or at
all; our Chinese partner companies or the MOC may require certain changes to
the terms and conditions of our PSC in conjunction with their approval of any
extension of our PSCs; our lack of operating history; limited and potentially
inadequate management of our cash resources; risk and uncertainties
associated with exploration, development and production of coalbed methane;
proved reserves may not be reported in a timely manner or at all and, if
reported, may be smaller than anticipated; our inability to extract or sell
all or a substantial portion of our estimated Contingent Resources; we may
not satisfy requirements for listing our securities on a securities exchange;
