Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking
Statements

• Certain statements included in this presentation
  are "forward-looking statements" under the
  Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
  Crimson Exploration Inc. (Crimson or the
  Company) cautions that strategic plans,
  assumptions, expectations, objectives for future
  operations, projections, intentions, or beliefs
  about future events may, and often do, vary from
  actual results and the differences can be
  material. Some of the key factors which could
  cause actual results to vary from those Crimson
  expects include changes in natural gas and oil
  prices, the timing of planned capital
  expenditures, availability of acquisitions,
  uncertainties in estimating proved reserves and
  forecasting production results, operational
  factors affecting the commencement or maintenance
  of producing wells, the condition of the capital
  markets generally, as well as the Companys
  ability to access them, and uncertainties
  regarding environmental regulations or litigation
  and other legal or regulatory developments
  affecting Crimsons business. Statements
  regarding future production are subject to all of
  the risks and uncertainties normally incident to
  the exploration for and development and
  production of oil and gas. These risks include,
  but are not limited to, inflation or lack of
  availability of goods and services, environmental
  risks, drilling risks and regulatory changes and
  the potential lack of capital resources. The SEC
  has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in
  filings made with the SEC, to disclose only
  proved reserves that a company has demonstrated
  by actual production or conclusive formation
  tests to be economically and legally producible
  under existing economic and operating conditions.
  The Company and its independent third party
  reservoir engineers use the terms probable and
  possible to describe volumes of reserves
  potentially recoverable through additional
  drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC's
  guidelines may prohibit the Company from
  including in filings with the SEC. These
  estimates are by their nature more speculative
  than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly
  are subject to substantially greater risk of
  being actually realized by the Company. All
  estimates of probable reserves in this
  presentation have been prepared by independent
  third party engineers. More information about the
  risks and uncertainties relating to Crimsons
  forward-looking statements are found in the
  Companys SEC filings.
