Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On February 1, 2005, we issued a press release announcing our results of operations for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2004. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On February 1, 2005, we are making available certain restated Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted amounts for the quarterly and annual periods from 2001 to 2004. During September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 04-8”), which requires the effect of contingently convertible debt securities with a market price trigger to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, using the “if-converted” method, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. EITF 04-8 also requires restatement of previously reported earnings. Our convertible debentures, issued in August 2001, have such a feature, and therefore we have restated Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted for all periods since their issuance. A copy of these restated Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted amounts is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
