The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to announce and provide access to The Hartford's preliminary financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, through an accompanying press release.

Where can I find the actual financial results discussed in this filing?

The actual financial results are detailed in the press release issued by The Hartford on July 13, 2011, which is included as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this 8-K filing.

Does furnishing this information mean the company is officially 'filing' these results?

No, the filing explicitly states that the information furnished under Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, is not deemed 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means the company does not assume the same level of liability for this furnished information as it would for formally filed information.

While the 8-K itself doesn't contain the details, the press release typically includes key financial metrics such as revenue, net income, earnings per share (EPS), and possibly segment-specific performance for the reported quarter.
