(the "Company" or "Miller") (NYSE: MILL) today announced that it has received a certificate for approximately $31.2 million of tax credits. The tax credits are submitted for reimbursement and are anticipated to be received in cash over the next few weeks.

"We continue to benefit greatly from State of Alaska tax credits," explained John Brawley, Chief Financial Officer of Miller. "With $31.2 million of tax credits, the $18.4 million in gross proceeds we expect to raise from the public offering of our Series D Preferred Stock, launched yesterday, and $24.0 million available under our revolver, we now have over $70 million in near-term liquidity, in addition to our operating revenue. We are excited about our drilling program and have the infrastructure, reserves and liquidity in place to convert those opportunities into significant production and cash flow."

The public offering of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock (the "offering") referred to above is being made pursuant to the Company's existing effective shelf registration statement, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). A final prospectus supplement relating to the offering will be filed with the SEC.

I like the pfd and I do think MILL is BUY under $5.00. I was impressed by the CFO's presentation at EnerCom.

I know you like CPE and GST preferreds better, but do you still like the MILL preferreds. You did 2 months ago, I don't think the company itself has changed much over that time except for getting a more qualified CEO.

I do not follow MILL carefully, so I need to see Q3 actuals before I can comment on the pfd.

MILL does have a lot more drilling risk as they count on much fewer wells than CPE or GST. I just think GST and CPE pfd stocks are safer.
