TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) held an earnings conference call on March 13, 2007 to discuss year end and fourth quarter 2006 operational and production results. A copy of the transcript of the earnings conference call is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
In the transcript filed as an exhibit to this report which has been incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02, the Company has disclosed alternative proved reserve estimates assuming natural gas prices other than those in effect on December 31, 2006 solely for illustrative purposes to demonstrate hypothetically the effect that year end economic conditions have on the Company’s proved reserve estimates. The natural gas price used in these alternative presentations were selected by management. In addition, the transcript contains disclosures concerning certain non-proved reserves and well locations, referenced as “probable” or “possible” well locations and reserves. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under economic and operating conditions existing at the date of the report. Accordingly, the SEC guidelines may prohibit us from including these alternatively priced proved reserve estimates in filings with the SEC. The information included in this report, including information in the exhibit, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall any information in this report be incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless such incorporation is expressly stated in such registration statement or a related prospectus.
