What is the primary purpose of this 8-K filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to furnish Capital One's monthly charge-off and delinquency statistics for June 2005 to the public, in compliance with Regulation FD.

What kind of information is included in the 'Monthly Charge-off and Delinquency Statistics'?

These statistics typically include metrics such as the rate at which loans are being charged off as uncollectible and the percentage of accounts that are past due on their payments. This helps investors understand the company's credit quality and potential for future loan losses.

Does this filing contain any new business developments or significant financial results?

No, this specific filing, under Item 7.01, is solely for the purpose of providing updated monthly credit statistics. It does not report on new business developments, acquisitions, or comprehensive financial results that would typically be found in other sections of an 8-K or in quarterly/annual reports.

Why is the information furnished under Regulation FD not considered 'filed'?

Under Regulation FD, information furnished to the SEC is often for disclosure purposes rather than for liability under Section 18 of the Exchange Act. This means that while the information is public, the company may not be held liable for inadvertent misstatements in the same way as 'filed' information.
