ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

In June 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board released EITF 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128 (EITF 03-6). This pronouncement provides guidance on when to apply the two-class method for computing basic and diluted earnings per share for participating securities. A participating security is a security that participates in undistributed earnings with common stock regardless of whether the participation is dependent upon the occurrence of a specific event. This guidance is effective for reporting periods after March 31, 2004.

We analyzed the provisions of EITF 03-6 and determined that our convertible preferred stock (all of which was converted into common stock at the beginning of the second quarter of 2003) and certain vested options with cash dividend equivalent rights are participating securities and thus should be included in the revised calculation of earnings per share. The results of this application were that the preferred stock was dilutive and the vested options with cash dividend equivalent rights were anti-dilutive.

We have securities registered under a registration statement on Form S-3 that incorporates by reference prior period financial statements. Therefore, we are including in this Form 8-K (which is incorporated by reference in our registration statement on Form S-3) selected financial data in the table below for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1999, reflecting earnings per share revised pursuant to the provisions of EITF 03-6.

(1)   The provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets (EITF 99-20), became effective January 1, 2001. At that date, the Company’s projections of cash flows in certain of its residential credit-enhancement securities were less than the cash flows anticipated at acquisition and the fair value had

    When we filed our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2004, we did not include revised comparable information for the six months ended June 30, 2003. We are including the six-month revised net income per share calculation and Consolidated Statements of Income in the following tables. Based on our assessment that the revisions are immaterial, we are not amending Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2004. It should be noted that all of the then outstanding convertible preferred stock was converted into common stock at the beginning of the second quarter of 2003. Thus, for any periods not including the first quarter of 2003 or subsequent periods, there is no impact of EITF 03-6 due to this participating security. Furthermore, certain stock options outstanding during prior periods, which are deemed participating securities under EITF 03-6, are anti-dilutive for all prior periods and there is no revision to our earnings per share for these participating securities.
