Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On December 28, 2005 the Company corrects preliminary financial results for the first nine months of 2005.
The Company previously issued Preliminary Financial Results for the First Nine Months of 2005 on December 20, 2005. We have subsequently discovered an error in the following line items: Gas Sales from Marketing Activities and Total Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 were overstated by approximately $41.7 million, Cost of Gas Marketing Activities and Total Costs and Expenses were overstated by approximately $39.9 million and Oil and Gas Price Risk Management Loss (Gain), Net was overstated by approximately $1.8 million. This error was self-correcting among these items, therefore, income before income taxes, net income, and earnings per share for the quarter and nine months did not change. The December 20, 2005 news release should not be relied upon, insofar as information in that release differs from information in this release.
