Item 12.                           Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On January 30, 2004, Equitable Resources, Inc. issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and annual 2003 earnings.  The press release was attached as Exhibit 99 to a Form 8-K furnished earlier today.  In the press release, the Equitable Supply Operational and Financial Report (the “Report”) line items “Production operating income” and “Gathering operating income” were erroneous for the three months ended December 31, 2002.

 

The production operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was reported, in thousands, as $43,902 but should have been, in thousands, $42,715.  The gathering operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was reported, in thousands, as $5,252 but should have been, in thousands, $6,439.  This change did not impact the total operating income nor did it affect any other amount or calculation in the Report or the press release.
