(b)
The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D,or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

As previously reported on July 14, 2015, the registrant was late in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”).   The registrant requires additional time to complete its financial statements to be included in its Annual Report and cannot begin work on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31, 2015 (“Quarterly Report”) until the Annual Report is completed.  The Company is working as expeditiously as possible to complete its Annual Report, but cannot currently estimate when that work will be complete in light of, among other factors, the substantial drop in oil prices, drilling results during the year, the registrant’s on-going capital repositioning process, and the registrant’s review of prior year financial statements containing financial information related to the valuation of the oil and gas properties acquired in Alaska in late 2009 which the Securities and Exchange Commission, in a civil action filed in an administrative proceeding, has alleged were overvalued.  These factors will also impact the Quarterly Report in ways the registrant has not yet been able to determine.   In addition to those issues, the registrant believes that, due to the constraining structure of the registrant’s current debt, its continued capital repositioning process as well as potential factors not under the registrant’s control, there is, from an accounting perspective, substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Because of these circumstances, the registrant is undertaking an asset impairment analysis on certain of its assets in connection with the Annual Report that would impact the Quarterly Report as well. This additional work has delayed completion of the registrant’s Annual Report and Quarterly Report.

Attachment to Form 12b-25 for Miller Energy Resources, Inc. for the period ended July 31, 2015.

The registrant anticipates that its financial statements for the quarter ended July 31, 2015 which will be included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q when filed will differ materially from the comparable period in the prior fiscal year; however, the registrant is not presently able to quantify the amount of such anticipated change as it is still compiling its financial statements for the quarter as well as for the prior fiscal year.
