Net income for the three-month period ending September 30, 2006 was $11.9 million or $0.24 per diluted share (all per share amounts herein are on a diluted basis). Revenues for the same period were $71.2 million, including hedging gains of $9.1 million, and operating income was $22.5 million. The company's production increased to 8.7 Bcfe or 95.0 Mmcfe/day for the three-month period, a 9% increase from the previous quarter. Production volume, operating income and net income were all at their highest levels for the five quarters reported since Rosetta became a separate entity.

Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 was $31.4 million or $0.62 per share. Revenues were $199.1 million, including hedging gains of $19.8 million, and operating income was $60.4 million. The company's production increased to 24.4 Bcfe or 89.5 Mmcfe/day for the period.

Bill Berilgen, Rosetta's Chief Executive Officer and President, said, "We have now established a trend of production growth at Rosetta. Each quarter in 2006 has exceeded the previous quarter's production and net income. We expect that trend to continue and anticipate record production in the fourth quarter of 2006. Rosetta's growth to date has been organic and is not a result of acquisitions. We have now drilled 98 gross and 83 net wells for the 9 months ending September 30, 2006, with an 84% success rate."
