This Form 10-Q/A amends the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as filed on May 4, 2006. The purpose of this amendment is (i) to amend the Consolidated Balance Sheet and (ii) to correct an erroneous date in the Section 1350 Certifications filed as Exhibit 32.
Balance Sheet. Upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(revised 2004)(SFAS 123(R)), “Share-Based Payment,” companies were required to eliminate any unearned compensation accounts (i.e., unamortized restricted stock) against the appropriate equity (i.e., paid-in capital) or liability account. As a result, as of March 31, 2006, we were required to reclassify $99.5 million of “Unamortized restricted stock,” of which $91.1 million related to equity awards and $8.4 million related to liability awards. An amended Consolidated Balance Sheet and Note 10-Reclassifications, in their entirety, are included in this Form 10-Q/A.
Certification. Our Section 1350 Certifications were erroneously filed with an incorrect date for the period that they covered. Revised certifications for the period ended March 31, 2006, are included in this Form 10-Q/A under Exhibit 32.
