10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Exhibit 99.1 contains
information identical to the corresponding sections of the registrants' 8-K
filed July 15, 2003 regarding the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal

to the extent required to reflect Columbia Energy Resources, Inc. and the
