(2) Average realized price includes the effects of realized gains on natural gas derivative contracts. (3) Produced water disposal fees are recorded in revenues on the Statement of Operations. Lease operating expense per Mcf has been adjusted for produced water disposal fees because the fees serve to offset operating expenses. See Reconciliation of Adjusted Lease Operating Expense. (4) The decrease in adjusted lease operating expense from the prior year is primarily due to the continued success of a company-wide cost reduction strategy implemented in April 2009. (5) The decreases in production taxes per Mcf for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were due to refunds received in March and August 2010 for production taxes related to our Gurnee field.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) available to common stockholders before net interest expense, other non-operating income, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization 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 INCOME (LOSS) TO NET INCOME (LOSS) AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS (In thousands) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ---------------------- ---------------------- 2010 2009 2010 2009 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $ 4,218 $ (48,343) $ 8,483 (155,455) Accretion of preferred stock 73 -- 73 -- Accrued paid-in-kind dividends 236 -- 236 -- Impairment of gas properties -- 69,146 -- 236,441 Unrealized (gains) losses on derivative contracts, net of tax (5,096) 3,567 (9,764) 5,526 Unrealized gain from change in fair value of derivative liability - Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (1,596) -- (1,596) -- Accelerated Depletion - Canada -- 2,742 -- 2,742 Terminated transaction costs -- -- 1,403 -- Effect of income taxes 2,557 (27,759) 3,803 (91,711) ========== ========== ========== ========== Adjusted Net Income (Loss) $ 392 $ (647) $ 2,638 $ (2,457) ========== ========== ========== ==========The table above reconciles net income (loss) available to common stockholders to Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is calculated by eliminating unrealized (gains) losses on derivative contracts from net income (loss) available to common stockholders, impairments to our gas properties, terminated transaction costs, and their related tax effects to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss). The tax effects are determined by calculating the tax provision for GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders and comparing the results to the tax provision for Adjusted Net Income (Loss), 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 Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure, we believe it is useful information for investors because the unrealized (gains) losses relate to derivative contracts that hedge our production in future months. The gains associated with derivative contracts that hedge current production are recognized in net income (loss) available to common stockholders and are not eliminated in determining Adjusted Net Income (Loss). The adjustment better matches (gains) losses on derivative contracts with the period when the underlying hedged production occurs.

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 serve to offset operating expenses. The adjustment better matches lease operating expense with the natural gas sales revenues it is associated with.
