(2) Average realized price includes the effects of realized gains on derivative contracts. (3) Produced water disposal fees are recorded as operating fees and other on the Statement of Operations. Lease operating expense per Mcf has been adjusted for produced water disposal fees because the fees are not reflected in the net gas sales volumes.

GEOMET, INC. RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA TO NET LOSS (In thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------------------- 2009 2008 -------------- -------------- Net loss $ (87,726) $ (2,142) Add: Interest expense, net of interest income and amounts capitalized 973 1,296 Add: Other expense 1 6 (Deduct): Income tax benefit (52,897) (1,234) Add: Depreciation, depletion and amortization 3,037 2,459 Add: Impairment of gas properties 139,713 - (Deduct) Add: Unrealized (gains) losses on derivative contracts (186) 8,647 Add: Stock based compensation 312 188 Add: Accretion expense 107 84 -------------- -------------- Adjusted EBITDA $ 3,334 $ 9,304 ============== ==============The table above reconciles net loss to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest expense, other non-operating income or losses, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and minority interest before unrealized (gains) losses on derivative contracts, stock-based compensation and accretion expense. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), management believes that it is useful to GeoMet and to an investor in evaluating our company because it is a widely used measure to evaluate a company's operating performance.
GEOMET, INC. RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED NET (LOSS) INCOME TO NET LOSS (In thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, -------------------------- 2009 2008 ------------ ---------- Net loss $ (87,726) $ (2,142) Impairment of gas properties 139,713 - Unrealized (gains) losses on derivative contracts, net of tax (186) 8,647 Effect of income taxes (52,787) (3,303) ------------ ---------- Adjusted Net (Loss) Income $ (986) $ 3,202 ============ ==========The table above reconciles net loss to Adjusted Net (Loss) Income. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income is calculated by eliminating unrealized (gains) losses on derivative contracts from net loss, non-cash impairments to our gas properties, and their related tax effects to arrive at Adjusted Net (Loss) Income. The tax effects are determined by calculating the tax provision for GAAP net loss and comparing the results to the tax provision for Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, which excludes the adjusting items. The difference in the tax provision calculations represents the effect of income taxes. The calculation is performed at the end of each quarter and, as a result, the tax rates for each discrete period are different. Although Adjusted Net (Loss) Income is a non-GAAP measure, we believe it is useful information for investors because the unrealized (gains) losses relates to derivative contracts that hedge our production in future months. The (gains) losses associated with derivative contracts that hedge current production are recognized in net loss and are not eliminated in determining Adjusted Net (Loss) Income. The adjustment better matches (gains) losses on derivative contracts with the period when the underlying hedged production occurs.
GEOMET, INC. RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED LEASE OPERATING EXPENSE (In thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, --------------- 2009 2008 ------- ------- Lease operating expense $ 4,569 $ 3,751 Deduct: Produced water disposal fees 98 297 ------- ------- Adjusted lease operating expense $ 4,471 $ 3,454 ======= =======The table above reconciles lease operating expense to adjusted lease operating expense. Adjusted lease operating expense is calculated by eliminating the produced water disposal fees from lease operating expense to arrive at adjusted lease operating expense. Although adjusted lease operating expense is a non-GAAP measure, we believe it is useful information for investors because produced water disposal fees are recorded as operating fees and other on the Statement of Operations. Lease operating costs per Mcf are adjusted for produced water disposal fees because the fees are not reflected in the net gas sales price. The adjustment better matches lease operating expense with the natural gas sales revenues it is associated with.
