Summary
This 8-K filing by 3M Company, filed on July 2, 2007, primarily serves as a notification regarding the submission of unaudited financial statements from their first quarter 2007 10-Q filing in XBRL format. The company explicitly states that this XBRL data is for testing purposes and should not be relied upon by investors for making investment decisions. Investors are directed to rely on the official, audited financial statements previously filed. The core purpose of this filing is to test the XBRL tagging technology. While the attached exhibits contain the Consolidated Statement of Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods ending March 31, 2007, and comparative periods, the company emphasizes that this information is unaudited and should not supersede the official filings. Therefore, this 8-K does not contain new material financial performance information for direct investor analysis of the company's operational results.
