The increases in net income, operating income and cash flow were primarily due to increased natural gas revenues as a result of higher commodity prices and record oil and gas production volumes, along with increased operating income contributions from the Company's ownership in Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P.

Oil and Gas Segment Review

See the Company's July 27, 2006, news release for a more detailed discussion of second quarter 2006 drilling and production operations for the oil and gas segment. As previously announced in the Company's news release on June June: see month.  13, 2006, the Company closed its acquisition of Crow Creek Holding Corporation for $71.5 million cash, funded by the Company's existing bank facility. The acquisition of Crow Creek expands the Company's oil and gas operations into the mid-continent region of the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , primarily in the Oklahoma portions of the Arkoma and Anadarko Basins The Anadarko Basin is one of the most prolific natural gas reserves in North America, with ultimate gas production in excess of 100 trillion cubic feet of gas.[1] External links

 a 37 percent increase in the Company's 2006 oil and gas capital expenditures budget to $322 million from $235 million previously budgeted. In addition to the Crow Creek acquisition, the increase is primarily to drill wells in the Arkoma and Anadarko basins of Oklahoma following the acquisition and to drill additional wells in the Company's Cotton Valley play in east Texas.

Oil and gas operating income for the second quarter of 2006 was $24.4 million, compared to $8.8 million reported for the same quarter of 2005. Total oil and gas segment revenues increased by 16 percent to $55.6 million from $48.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. A nine percent increase in oil and natural gas production, from 6.9 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) in the second quarter of 2005 to a record 7.5 Bcfe in the second quarter of 2006, accounted for most of the revenue increase. Increased realized prices accounted for the remainder of the revenue increase. The average realized sales price for natural gas in the second quarter of 2006 was $7.17 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), an increase of three percent from $6.94 per Mcf realized in the second quarter of 2005.

Total oil and gas segment expenses decreased 21 percent to $31.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $39.3 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to the following:

--Operating expenses increased to $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2005.

Coal Segment Review (Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. - NYSE:PVR)

Second quarter 2006 operating income in the coal segment was a record $19.3 million, or 18 percent higher than the $16.3 million reported in the second quarter of 2005. Revenues increased to a record $27.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, an 18 percent increase over the $23.6 million reported in the second quarter of 2005. The increase was mainly a result of increased coal royalty Compensation for the use of property, usually copyrighted works, patented inventions, or natural resources, expressed as a percentage of receipts from using the property or as a payment for each unit produced.  revenues, which increased to $24.3 million in the second quarter of 2006, a 21 percent increase over $20.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. Higher coal prices were the primary reason for increased average royalty per ton, up nine percent to $3.04 in the second quarter of 2006 from $2.78 in the second quarter of 2005. Coal production from PVR properties increased to 8.0 million tons in the second quarter of 2006 from 7.3 million tons in the second quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to production from properties acquired in 2005 in the western Kentucky Kentucky, state, United States

Natural Gas Midstream Segment Review (Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. - NYSE:PVR)

Gross processing margin for the second quarter of 2006, consisting of midstream revenues minus the cost of gas purchased, was a record $19.7 million, an increase of 58 percent over $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2005. Average NGL NGL - A dialect of IGL.  prices increased quarter over quarter while average natural gas prices decreased over the same period, leading to an increase in the gross processing margin. Expenses other than cost of gas purchased were $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared to $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2005. Adjusted for cash payments on derivative contracts settled during the quarter, the gross processing margin was $15.2 million, an increase of 42 percent over $10.7 million for the second quarter of 2005.

For the second half of 2006 and full year 2007 and 2008, through PVR the natural gas midstream segment has hedged approximately 67, 30, and 30 percent of its commodity price exposure, based on its share of current plant production.

Note 1 - Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating
activities before changes in assets and liabilities. Operating cash
flow is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct
to net cash provided by operating activities under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Management
believes that operating cash flow is widely accepted as a financial
indicator of an oil and gas company's ability to generate cash which
is used to internally fund exploration and development activities,
service debt and pay dividends. This measure is widely used by
investors and professional research analysts in the valuation,
comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within
the oil and gas exploration and production industry. Operating cash
flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should
not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating,
investing, or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or
as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to net income.

Note 2 - Capital expenditures represents cash additions to property
and equipment, plus cash paid for acquisitions, plus seismic
expenditures, delay rentals and other expenditures, change in accrued
capital expenditures and non-cash well accruals, minus capitalized
interest. Management believes capital expenditures provide useful
information regarding the Company's capital program as a supplement to
cash additions to property and equipment.
