Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K/A is
being furnished solely to correct certain typographical errors appearing in the
Registrant's earnings release included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Registrant's
Current Report on Form 8-K furnished on October 20, 2005. All GAAP figures
reported in the Company's press release, as well as the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission were correct, including the Company's net
income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, of $227 million
and $462 million, respectively. However, in the Company's third quarter 2005
press release, certain non-GAAP items were included in order to enhance the
usefulness of the Company's earnings report. In the Company's Reconciliation
of reported amounts to Non-GAAP items, Net income, excluding unrealized gains,
should have been $392 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
$118 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, and $253 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, instead of the original amounts
reported. In addition, Net income per share, diluted, excluding impact of
unrealized gains, should have been $.48 for the nine months ended September 30,
2005, and $.31 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, instead of the
amounts reported.
A revised version of the Registrant's earnings release, as so corrected,
is included herewith.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 20, 2005, the Registrant issued a press release announcing
its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005. The
press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein
by reference.
The information furnished in Item 2.02 shall not be deemed "filed" for
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, regardless of any general incorporation language in such
filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such
filing.
