NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2007 (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 March 31, 2007 and the related results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

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 of the Company included in Comstock’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily an indication of the results expected for the full year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Comstock and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the third quarter of 2006, Comstock purchased additional shares of common stock in Bois d’Arc Energy, Inc. (“Bois d’Arc Energy”) increasing its ownership of Bois d’Arc Energy’s common stock to 32,220,761 shares. As a result, as of September 30, 2006, Comstock has voting control of Bois d’Arc Energy through the combined share ownership of the Company and members of its Board of Directors. Upon obtaining voting control of Bois d’Arc Energy, Comstock began including Bois d’Arc Energy in its financial statements as a consolidated subsidiary. As permitted by generally accepted accounting principles, consolidated revenues, expenses and cash flows for 2006 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect Bois d’Arc Energy as a consolidated subsidiary as of January 1, 2006. The inclusion of Bois d’Arc Energy as a consolidated subsidiary in the Company’s financial statements had no impact on the Company’s net income.

In connection with the acquisitions of additional common shares of Bois d’Arc Energy in 2006, Comstock allocated the $36.4 million purchase price paid for the shares in excess of its underlying net book value in Bois d’Arc Energy of $18.9 million together with the related deferred income tax liability of $10.1 million to oil and gas properties. This additional amount is being amortized over the productive lives of Bois d’Arc Energy’s oil and gas properties using the unit-of-production method. The pro forma impact of the acquisition of these shares was not material to the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

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 three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

Three Months Ended

(1) Concurrent with including Bois d’Arc Energy as a consolidated subsidiary as of January 1, 2006, the asset retirement obligations of Bois d’Arc Energy are included in the Company’s financial statements.

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 Company had no derivative financial instruments outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts held for price risk management at March 31, 2006 was a liability of $2.4 million. Comstock did not designate these instruments as cash flow hedges, and accordingly an unrealized gain on derivatives of $8.8 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company realized losses of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to settle derivative positions.

Stock-Based Compensation

Comstock Resources and Bois d’Arc Energy maintain separate incentive compensation plans under which they grant common stock and stock options to key employees and directors.

COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Comstock accounts for employee stock-based compensation under the fair value 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $4.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense within general and administrative expenses related to stock option and restricted stock grants, including $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, attributable to Bois d’Arc Energy’s incentive plan. The excess income tax benefit realized from tax deductions associated with stock-based compensation totaled $166,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Some of the inputs to the option valuation model are subjective, including assumptions regarding expected stock price volatility. Comstock Resources did not make any stock option grants during the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Bois d’Arc Energy granted options to purchase 30,000 shares at an exercise price of $12.88 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The fair value of the options awarded was determined to be $4.92 per option share.

As of March 31, 2007, total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested Comstock stock options of $2.9 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.7 years. As of March 31, 2007, Comstock had 1,033,000 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding at a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.46 per share. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to Comstock unvested restricted stock grants of $29.4 million as of March 31, 2007 is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.8 years.

As of March 31, 2007, total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested Bois d’Arc Energy stock options of $9.9 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 5.0 years. As of March 31, 2007, Bois d’Arc Energy had 1,306,000 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding at a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.97 per share. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to Bois d’Arc Energy unvested restricted stock grants of $7.0 million as of March 31, 2007 is expected to be recognized over a period of 4.0 years.

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 35% and the effective tax rate on income before income taxes and minority interest is due to the following:

March 31,
2007 2006
Tax at statutory rate 35 % 35 %
Tax effect of:
Undistributed earnings of Bois d’Arc Energy,
not consolidated for federal income tax

Current provision $ 2,387 $ 2,575
Deferred provision 12,437 23,724

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions. The Company has analyzed its filing positions in all jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for the open tax years in such jurisdictions. The Company has identified its federal income tax return and its state income tax returns in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma in which it operates as “major” tax jurisdictions. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years subsequent to December 31, 2004 remain subject to examination. The Company’s income tax returns in major state income tax jurisdictions remain subject to examination for various periods subsequent to December 31, 2002. The Company currently believes that all significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its significant income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon audit. Therefore, the Company has no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions and no adjustments to such reserves were required upon adoption of FIN 48. Interest and penalties resulting from audits by tax authorities have been immaterial and are included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined without the effect of any outstanding potentially dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock or other convertible securities and diluted earnings per share is determined with the effect of outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock and other convertible securities that are potentially dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were determined as follows:

Comstock 6 7 / 8 % Senior Notes due 2012 175,000
$ 511,000

Comstock has a $600.0 million bank credit facility with Bank of Montreal, as the administrative agent. The credit facility is a five-year revolving credit commitment that matures on December 15, 2011. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by Comstock and its wholly-owned subsidiaries’ oil and gas properties and is guaranteed by all of its wholly-owned 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. As of March 31, 2007, the borrowing base was $400.0 million, $184.0 million of which was available. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, based on the utilization of the borrowing base, at Comstock’s option at either (1) LIBOR plus 1.0% to 1.75% or (2) the base rate (which is the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate) plus 0% to 0.25%. A commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.375%, based on the utilization of the borrowing base, is payable on the unused borrowing base. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the payment of cash dividends in excess of $40.0 million, limit the amount of consolidated debt that Comstock may incur and limit the Company’s ability to make certain loans and investments. The only financial covenants are the maintenance of a ratio of current assets, including availability under the bank credit facility, to current liabilities of at least one-to-one and maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Bois d’Arc Energy has a bank credit facility with The Bank of Nova Scotia and several other banks. Borrowings under the credit facility are limited to a borrowing base that is re-determined semi-annually based on the banks’ estimate of the future net cash flows of Bois d’Arc Energy’s oil and natural gas properties. The determination of the borrowing base is at the sole discretion of the administrative agent and the bank group. The borrowing base was $200.0 million as of March 31, 2007 and was increased to $225.0 million on May 7, 2007. Availability under this credit facility was $80.0 million as of March 31, 2007. The Bois d’Arc Energy credit facility matures on May 11, 2009. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at Bois d’Arc Energy’s option of either (1) LIBOR plus a margin that varies from 1.25% to 2.0% depending upon the ratio of the amounts outstanding to the borrowing base or (2) the base rate (which is the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate) plus a margin that varies from 0% to 0.75% depending upon the ratio of the amounts outstanding to the borrowing base. A commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% (depending upon the ratio of the amounts outstanding to the borrowing base) is payable the unused borrowing base. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by substantially all of Bois d’Arc Energy and its subsidiaries’ assets, and all of the Bois d’Arc Energy’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the indebtedness. The Bois d’Arc Energy credit facility contains covenants that restrict the payment of cash dividends in excess of $5.0 million, borrowings, sales of assets, loans to others, capital expenditures, investments, merger activity, hedging contracts, liens and certain other transactions without the prior consent of the lenders and requires Bois d’Arc Energy to maintain a ratio of current assets, including the availability under the bank credit facility, to current liabilities of at least one-to-one and a ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration and impairment expense of no more than 2.5-to-one. Bois d’Arc Energy was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2007.

(3) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES —

From time to time, Comstock is involved in certain litigation that arises in the normal course of its operations. The Company records a loss contingency for these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In connection with its exploration and development activities, the Company contracts for drilling rigs and for the acquisition of seismic data under terms of up to three years. The Company has commitments to acquire seismic data totaling $11.0 million through December 2008. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had commitments for contracted drilling services of $77.0 million through September 2008.

(4) CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —

Comstock Resources, Inc. (“Parent”) has $175.0 million of 6 7 / 8 % senior notes outstanding which are guaranteed by all of the Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the Parent’s ability to obtain funds from any of the guarantor subsidiaries or on a guarantor subsidiary’s ability to obtain funds from the Parent or their direct or indirect subsidiaries.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Comstock Resources, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. 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, 2006, 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 February 28, 2007 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment,” effective January 1, 2006. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Revenues –

Our oil and gas sales in the first three months of 2007 of $146.0 million increased $14.3 million (11%) over our sales of $131.7 million in the first quarter of 2006. The growth in sales resulted from our higher production in the first quarter offset in part by lower oil and natural gas prices. Production in the first quarter of 2007 increased 28% to 20.0 Bcfe as compared to production of 15.7 Bcfe in the first quarter of 2006. Our average realized natural gas price of $6.89 per Mcf in the first three months of 2007 was $1.16 or 14% below our average natural gas price of $8.05 per Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Realized oil prices in the first quarter of 2007 averaged $54.15 per barrel, 6% lower than the $57.91 per barrel realized in the first quarter of 2006.

Table of Contents

Oil and gas sales from our onshore properties decreased $0.1 million to $69.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $69.9 million for the first quarter of 2006. Our onshore production in the first quarter of 2007 increased by 16% to 10.1 Bcfe from production in the first quarter of 2006 of 8.7 Bcfe. The production increase was attributable to our development drilling activity. Our average onshore realized crude oil price decreased by 11% and our average onshore realized natural gas price decreased by 14% in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006. Oil and gas sales from Bois d’Arc Energy’s operations for the first quarter of 2007 of $76.2 million increased $14.3 million or 23% compared with the first quarter of 2006. Bois d’Arc Energy’s production of 9.9 Bcfe in the first quarter of 2007 increased by 42% from the production in the first quarter of 2006 of 7.0 Bcfe. The increase was due to production from new wells and the return to production of certain properties which were shut-in following the 2005 hurricanes. Bois d’Arc Energy’s average oil price decreased by 4% and Bois d’Arc Energy’s average natural gas price decreased by 15% in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006.

Costs and Expenses -

Our oil and gas operating expenses, including production taxes, increased $0.8 million (3%) to $27.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $26.3 million in the first quarter of 2006. Oil and gas operating expenses from our onshore operations increased $0.2 million (1%) to $14.1 million from $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 with the higher production level in 2007. Oil and gas operating expenses per equivalent Mcf produced for our onshore operations decreased $0.20 (13%) to $1.39 in the first quarter of 2007 from $1.59 in the first quarter of 2006 due to the fixed nature of our operating costs. Bois d’Arc Energy’s oil and gas operating costs for the first quarter of 2007 of $13.0 million increased $0.6 million (5%) from $12.4 million in the first quarter of 2006. Oil and gas operating expenses per equivalent Mcf produced for Bois d’Arc Energy operations decreased $0.48 (27%) to $1.31 in the first quarter of 2007 from $1.79 in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease is due to the fixed nature of a substantial portion of Bois d’Arc Energy’s lifting costs and lower repair and maintenance costs in 2007. Operating expenses in 2006 included $1.9 million in repair costs related to the 2005 hurricanes.

In the first quarter of 2007, we had $11.1 million of exploration expense as compared to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. The provision in the first quarter of 2007 primarily related to two offshore exploratory dry holes and seismic costs incurred by Bois d’Arc Energy.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) increased $26.0 million (85%) to $56.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 from DD&A expense of $30.7 million in the first quarter of 2006. DD&A for our onshore properties increased $11.0 million to $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $16.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 due to higher production and an increase in our onshore average DD&A rate. Our onshore DD&A per equivalent Mcf produced increased by $0.83 to $2.69 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $1.86 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increased rate was primarily attributable to the higher capitalized costs associated with our drilling program and an acquisition completed in 2006. DD&A related to Bois d’Arc Energy for the first quarter of 2007 increased $14.1 million due primarily to the higher production level and a higher amortization rate. The DD&A rate per Mcfe produced for Bois d’Arc Energy operations in the first quarter of 2007 increased $0.81 per Mcfe to $2.86 per Mcfe from $2.05 in the first quarter of 2006 due to higher capitalized costs related to Bois d’Arc Energy’s exploration program which reflect the increased costs for drilling and construction services in the Gulf of Mexico after the 2005 hurricanes.

General and administrative expenses, which are reported net of overhead reimbursements, increased by $1.6 million to $9.7 million for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to general and administrative expenses of $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation of $1.3 million included in 2007’s general and administrative expenses.

Interest expense increased $3.0 million (54%) to $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2007 from interest expense of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due increased borrowings under our bank credit facilities during the first quarter of 2007 and higher interest rates. The average borrowings outstanding increased to $305.3 million during the first quarter of 2007 as compared to $136.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. The average interest rate we were charged on the outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities increased to 6.6% in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to 5.8% in the first quarter of 2006.

We did not designate our derivatives we utilized as part of our price risk management program as cash flow hedges in 2006 and accordingly, we recognized a gain for the change in the fair value of these liabilities in 2006. The fair value of our liability for these derivatives decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2006 resulting in a gain of $8.1 million. We had no outstanding derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Income tax expense decreased $11.5 million (44%) to $14.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from income tax expense of $26.3 million in the first three months of 2006. The decrease was mainly due to lower operating income in the first quarter of 2007.

Minority interest in earnings of Bois d’Arc Energy of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased $2.7 million (31%) from the minority interest in earnings of $8.7 million for the comparable period in 2006 primarily due to Bois d’Arc Energy’s lower net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

We reported net income of $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $29.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The net income per share for the first quarter of 2007 was $0.28 on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 44.2 million as compared to $0.68 for the first quarter of 2006 on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 43.4 million.

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 three months ended March 31, 2007, our primary sources of funds were net cash flow from operations of $78.7 million and net borrowings under our credit facilities of $56.0 million. Our net cash flow from operating activities decreased $6.8 million (8%) in the first quarter of 2007 from $85.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily the result of working capital changes in the first quarter of 2007. Excluding changes in non-cash working capital accounts, our cash flow from operating activities increased $9.0 million to $100.5 million as compared to $91.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 due to the higher revenues we had in 2007.

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 three months of 2007, we incurred capital expenditures of $147.0 million primarily for our acquisition, development and exploration activities.

The following table summarizes our capital expenditure activity, on an accrual basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Three Months Ended March 31, 2006

$ 84,894 $ 62,896 $ 147,790 $ 49,187 $ 46,460 $ 95,647

The timing of most of our capital expenditures is discretionary because we have no material long-term capital expenditure commitments except for commitments for contract drilling services and for seismic data acquisitions. Consequently, we have a significant degree of flexibility to adjust the level of our capital expenditures as circumstances warrant. As of March 31, 2007 we have contracted for the services

of onshore drilling rigs through September 2008 at an aggregate cost of $59.0 million. As of March 31, 2007 Bois d’Arc Energy has commitments for the services of contracted offshore drilling services at an aggregate cost of $18.0 million through July 2007 and to acquire seismic data totaling $11.0 million through December 2008.

We spent $84.3 million and $49.2 million on our onshore development and exploration activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We expect to spend approximately $278.0 million for onshore development and exploration projects in 2007. Bois d’Arc Energy spent $62.8 million and $46.5 million on offshore development and exploration activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and expects to spend $200.0 million for offshore development and exploration projects in 2007. Development and exploration activities are funded primarily with operating cash flow and with borrowings under our bank credit facilities.

We do not have a specific acquisition budget for 2007 since the timing and size of acquisitions are not predictable. We intend to use borrowings under our bank credit facilities, 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.

We have a $600.0 million bank credit facility with the Bank of Montreal, as the administrative agent. The credit facility is a five-year revolving credit commitment that matures on December 15, 2011. 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. As of March 31, 2007 the borrowing base was $400.0 million, $184.0 million of which was available. Indebtedness under the bank credit facility is secured by substantially all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries’ oil and gas properties and is guaranteed by all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, based on the utilization of the borrowing base, at our option of either LIBOR plus 1.0% 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 0.25% to 0.375% based on the utilization of the borrowing base is payable on the unused borrowing base. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the payment of cash dividends in excess of $40.0 million, 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 March 31, 2007. We also have $175.0 million of 6 7 / 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.

Bois d’Arc Energy has a bank credit facility with the Bank of Nova Scotia and several other banks. The credit facility matures on May 11, 2009. Borrowings under the credit facility are limited to a borrowing base that is redetermined semi-annually based on the banks’ estimates of the future net cash flows of Bois d’Arc Energy’s oil and natural gas properties. The determination of the borrowing base is at the sole discretion of the administrative agent and the bank group. The borrowing base of $200.0 million as of March 31, 2007 was increased to $225.0 million on May 7, 2007. Availability under the borrowing base was $80.0 million as of March 31, 2007. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by substantially all of Bois d’Arc Energy and its subsidiaries’ assets, and all of Bois d’Arc Energy’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the indebtedness. The credit facility contains covenants that restrict the payment of cash dividends in excess of $5.0 million, borrowings, sales of assets, loans to others, capital expenditures, investments, merger activity, hedging contracts, liens and certain other transactions without the prior consent of the lenders and requires Bois d’Arc Energy to maintain a ratio of current assets, including the availability under the bank credit facility, to current liabilities of at least one-to-one and a ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration and impairment expense of no more than 2.5-to-one.

We believe that our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our bank credit facilities 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.

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, 2006 is incorporated herein by reference.

Effective January 1, 2007 we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting and disclosures for uncertainty in income tax positions, as defined. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the amounts recorded by us related to uncertain tax positions.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). This statement establishes a framework for fair value measurements in the financial statements by providing a single definition of fair value, provides guidance on the methods used to estimate fair value and increases disclosures about estimates of fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is generally applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

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 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, 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 $0.6 million and a $1.00 change in the price per Mcf of natural gas would have changed our cash flow by approximately $16.0 million.

Interest Rates

At March 31, 2007, we had total long-term debt of $511.0 million. Of this amount, $175.0 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 6 7 / 8 %. We had $336.0 million outstanding under our bank credit facilities, which bear 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. Based on borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2007, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would change our interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 by approximately $0.8 million.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of March 31, 2007, 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 March 31, 2007 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.

During the first quarter of 2007 we implemented a new information technology system used for accounting and financial reporting. The Company has performed a variety of reconciliations and has implemented processes intended to ensure that financial data has been correctly reflected in our financial statements in connection with this change. We expect these systems to improve our control environment by automating and standardizing manual processes. 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 March 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
