Where can I find the detailed financial results for Q2 2013?

Does this filing include forward-looking statements or guidance?

This specific 8-K filing focuses on reporting historical financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. While the accompanying press release and conference call information may discuss outlook or guidance, the 8-K itself is primarily a disclosure of past performance and material events. Investors should carefully review Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3 for any forward-looking information.

What is the significance of 'furnished herewith' versus 'filed herewith' for the exhibits?

Exhibits 'filed herewith' (like Exhibit 99.1) are subject to greater SEC scrutiny and liability. Exhibits 'furnished herewith' (like Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3) are not considered 'filed' for the purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning the company generally has less liability for their content, though they are still provided to investors for context.
