Highlight of Business Operations:

Net income was $350.4 million ($3.38 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2012, as compared to net income of $274.8 million ($2.65 per diluted share) during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in earnings is primarily due to:

Oil and natural gas revenues.

This decrease was primarily due to decreases in realized oil and natural gas prices partially offset by increased production due to (i) successful drilling efforts during 2011 and 2012, (ii) production from the OGX Acquisition which closed in November 2011 and (iii) production from the PDC Acquisition which closed in February 2012. Specific factors affecting oil and natural gas revenues include the following:

Production taxes per unit of production were $4.75 per Boe during the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of 21 percent from $6.03 per Boe during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was directly related to the decrease in commodity prices offset by our increase in oil and natural gas revenues related to increased volumes. Over the same period, our per Boe prices (excluding the effects of derivatives) decreased 21 percent.
