Valley National Gases Clarifies 'Revised' Statement Announcement WASHINGTON, Pa., May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Valley National Gases Incorporated (AMEX:VLG) announced today that it wishes to clarify and correct possible misinterpretations or misperceptions that may have been created from the Company's filing of Form 8-K on May 13, 2005. Valley changed only the format of its income statement starting with the 10Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, to eliminate the gross profit subtotal. This reformatting was done to make the presentation of its financial results more consistent with the presentation used by other industry participants and with the format preferred by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In order to provide financial statements that could be read in the same format with respect to prior fiscal periods, Valley filed a Form 8-K on May 13, also reformatting its audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Valley has not nor did not restate or change any of its reported results from operations or financial condition in any manner when it reformatted its financial statements, and the financial statements contained in the Form 8-K do not constitute a "restatement."
