Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

As noted above, statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve estimates provided in this press release that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC's latest reserve reporting guidelines. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Worthington's Annual Report on Form 10-K available from Worthington at 220 Montgomery St., #1094, San Francisco, CA 94104 (attn: Investor Relations).
