Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
This Form 8-K/A is being filed to correct formatting errors contained in the slides furnished as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2008. This 8-K/A does not represent an updating of any information contained in the original 8-K.
The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The information contained herein (including the exhibit) and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of RDA (including, but not limited to, statements regarding the expectations of RDA’s operating plans and strategies generally; statements regarding RDA’s expectations of the performance of its lines of business; and future operating results) may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Federal securities laws. Although RDA believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking information is subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Many of these factors are beyond RDA’s ability to control or predict. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially and could impact the RDA and the statements contained in this report can be found in RDA’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For forward-looking statements in this report, RDA claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. RDA assumes no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
