Where can I find the detailed financial results for KMI for the quarter ended June 30, 2011?

The detailed financial results are not directly included in the 8-K form itself. They are provided in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this filing. Investors should refer to that press release for specific financial and operational data.

Does this filing contain forward-looking statements or guidance?

While the 8-K filing itself does not contain the detailed financial results or specific forward-looking statements, the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1) typically includes such information. Investors should carefully review the press release for any forward-looking statements, guidance, or management commentary regarding the company's performance and outlook.

What does it mean that the press release is 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of an 8-K, it means the company is providing it to the SEC for public disclosure, but it is generally not subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This also means it's not automatically incorporated by reference into other SEC filings. Investors should still consider this information crucial for understanding the company's performance, but it has a different legal status than information 'filed' under other sections.
