ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On July 20, 2011, the registrant issued a press release regarding, among
other things, its revenues and earnings for the second quarter ended June
30, 2011. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Form 8-K.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 to the Form 8-K, the information
under this Item 2.02 and the press release exhibit to this Form 8-K shall
not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that Section 18, nor shall such information and exhibit be
deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless the
registrant expressly states that such information and exhibit are to be
considered "filed" under the Exchange Act or incorporates such information
and exhibit by specific reference in an Exchange Act or Securities Act
filing.
The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are based on information
presently available to the registrant's management and are current only as
of the date made. Actual results could also differ materially from those
anticipated as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited
to, those discussed in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2010. For those reasons, undue reliance should not
be placed on any forward-looking statement. The registrant assumes no duty
or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, although
it may do so from time to time as management believes is warranted or as
may be required by applicable securities law. Any such updates or
revisions may be made by filing reports with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, through the issuance of press releases or by other
methods of public disclosure.
