Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 31, 2013 Miller Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain of its operational results pertaining to the volume of oil sold during its fiscal quarter ending on October 31, 2013. An error was made in the release, comparing these results to the “prior quarter” instead of the “same period in the prior fiscal year.” Additionally, a typographical error was made wherein we stated that we expect to “spud the RU-9 well before end of 2014.” This statement should have read “before the end of 2013.” A copy of the corrected press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
