Comstock reported net income of $29.6 million or 68 cents per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 2005's first quarter net income of $15.9 million or 43 cents per diluted share. First quarter 2006's oil and gas sales of $69.9 million were increased slightly from 2005's first quarter sales of $69.8 million despite the inclusion of $26.0 million in sales related to Comstock's 60% ownership of Bois d'Arc Energy in the first quarter 2005 results.

Oil and gas sales from Comstock's onshore operations of $69.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 increased 60% from onshore oil and gas sales of $43.8 million in 2005's first quarter. Operating cash flow (before changes in working capital accounts) generated by Comstock in 2006's first quarter of $47.2 million was 1% higher than 2005's first quarter cash flow of $46.5 million.

The 2006 results no longer include the Company's share of the operating cash flow or EBITDAX related to Bois d'Arc Energy's operations. The 2006 results include a $8.8 million unrealized gain on derivatives held for price risk management and the 2005 results includes a $3.2 million unrealized loss related to derivatives. Without the unrealized gain and loss, net income for the first quarter of 2006 would have been approximately $24.0 million or 55 cents per diluted share as compared to $18.0 million or 48 cents per diluted share for the first quarter of 2005.
