State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attached extra sheets if needed.)
_________
 
As initially reported in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Registrant has continued to experience substantial difficulties in meeting short-term cash needs, particularly in relation to vendor commitments.  Substantially all of the Registrant's assets are pledged, and extreme volatility in energy prices and a deteriorating global economy have created difficulties in the capital markets and have hindered our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital.  The Registrant's inability to improve its liquidity and cash resources has caused it to experience material adverse business consequences.
 
As a result, the Registrant is still in the process of assessing its financial position and liquidity and its ability to continue normal operations in light of (a) recent and ongoing economic conditions which have negatively impacted the Registrant's operating results, (b) instability in the capital markets, and (c) the Registrant's lenders acceleration of and demand for immediate payment of the entire amount of the funds the Registrant owes under the bank credit facilities, including all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable thereunder, and the fact the Registrant does not have sufficient funds to repay the amounts owed under the bank credit facilities.  The Registrant's current circumstances and worsening liquidity and financial position could require the Registrant to seek relief though a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the very near future, the result of which is that the Registrant could cease to be a public filer, cease to have a market for its securities and/or the Registrant's securities may have little or no value.
 
Since March 2009, the Registrant's management team has been focused on pursuing strategic alternatives to address its liquidity issues and continuing discussions with its lenders, which has strained the Registrant's available management and financial resources.  Because the Registrant's management has devoted considerable attention to addressing the Registrant's financial and liquidity issues, because the assessment of its financial position and liquidity is ongoing and because the Registrant's Chief Financial Officer was terminated effective May 7, 2009 in connection with the Registrant's reduction in force, the Registrant was unable to complete its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009 in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense.  The Registrant plans to file its Form 10-Q by May 18, 2009, as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.

­­­____________

The Registrant anticipates, based on the information currently available to it, that its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 will be significantly different from those for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Key income statement line items include:
     
Income Statement Line Item
First-Quarter 2009
First-Quarter 2008
($ in millions)
   
Total Revenues
$ 15.6  
$ 32.3

Significant impacts on first-quarter 2009 :
(1) A non-cash charge of approximately $27.6 million was recorded to accrete the balance on the convertible preferred stock to account for the redemption premium that will be due on payment at some future date.

(2) A non-cash impairment charge of approximately $12.0 million was recorded as the result of lower forecasted commodity prices.  Non-cash depletion costs were also higher due to lower reserve balances.

(3) Oil and natural gas revenues were down by $14.7 million as compared to March 31, 2008 primarily as the result of sharply reduced commodity sales prices.

The Registrant undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
