Section 2--Financial Information
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of a press release issued by the
Registrant updating its prior forward-looking statements regarding its earnings
outlook for the full year 2004 and for the fourth quarter of 2004 that were
included in the Registrant's press release dated October 21, 2004.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is
being furnished under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K as an update of the Registrant's
previous forward-looking earnings outlook, and shall not be deemed to be "filed"
for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such
information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, regardless of the general incorporation language of such filing, except
as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including in Exhibit
99.1, which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking
statements are made based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning
future events impacting the Registrant and therefore involve a number of
uncertainties and risks, including, but not limited to, those described in the
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2003 and other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the actual results of operations
or financial condition of the Registrant could differ materially from those
expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
