Summary
This 8-K filing from Tyco International Ltd. (though the prompt mistakenly identified it as JCI) on February 2, 2006, primarily serves to report the company's first quarter fiscal year 2006 results. The core of the filing is the incorporation by reference of a press release detailing these financial outcomes. Investors should note that this is a standard disclosure mechanism to ensure that material financial information disseminated to the public via press release is also formally filed with the SEC. The filing itself does not contain the detailed financial results but points investors to Exhibit 99.1, the press release. Therefore, a thorough understanding of Tyco's performance for the first quarter of FY2006 would require reviewing that accompanying press release. This 8-K acts as a notification and formal record of that information being made public.
