Items to be Included in this Report
In making these remarks, Mr. Neidorff did not intend to imply that he was affirming or otherwise commenting on forward-looking guidance that we had previously pro vided with respect to our financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2005. We provide guidance regularly in our quarterly earnings calls with investors, but otherwise do not update guidance, other than in exceptional circumstances. Mr. Neidorff intended to convey that it is our policy to pre-announce quarterly operating results if and when we determine that those results will vary materially and adversely from previously expressed guidance.
