Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
|
On May 9, 2011, Tri-Valley Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release to report its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.
Also on May 9, 2011, the Company conducted a conference call to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. A copy of the transcript of the conference call is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by this reference. Please note that during the conference call, three inadvertent references were made to oil production costs having “decreased” by 7% in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010. However, as correctly noted in the Company’s first quarter financial results press release issued on May 9, 2011, oil production costs actually increased by 7% in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010. Therefore, the copy of the transcript of the conference call furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 has been corrected to reflect a 7% increase in oil production costs in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, are being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
