ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company is being filed to make
available its Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows (see Exhibit
99.1) for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and its Consolidated
Schedule of Free Cash Flows (see Exhibit 99.2) for the twelve months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000.
Free cash flow is another measure used by management to evaluate liquidity
and financial condition. Free cash flow represents cash available for the
repayment of debt and other corporate purposes such as stock repurchases,
acquisitions and investments for the latest twelve-month period. The
Company has provided the Consolidated Schedule of Free Cash Flows for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 as that reflects the measure in
which management evaluates the performance of its free cash flows. Such
measure of performance may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
used by other companies and is not a measurement recognized under
generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, free cash flow should
not be construed as a substitute for income or cash flow from operations
in measuring operating results or liquidity. The Consolidated Schedule of
Free Cash Flows for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 should
be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Cash Flows attached hereto as well as the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Income included within the Company's earnings
release of second quarter results filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 8-K on July 19, 2001 and the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A filed on July 3, 2001.
