Item 8.01. Other Events
On January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment to ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"). Based on the effective date of the pronouncement, the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the "Form 10-K") did not reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 160. Accordingly, the following sections of our Form 10-K have been updated solely to reflect the retrospective presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160 that were not yet effective for the financial statements originally filed with the Form 10-K, and are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference:
| • | Item 6. Selected Financial Data |
| • | Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
| • | Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data |
No Items of the Form 10-K other than those identified above are being adjusted or otherwise revised by this filing.
This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information in the Form 10-K is generally stated as of December 31, 2008, and this filing does not reflect any subsequent information or events other than the adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160 described above. More current information is contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
