Frequently Asked Questions

The specific financial figures are not detailed within the 8-K filing itself. They are provided in the press release issued on October 22, 2009, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, and were likely discussed during the conference call held on the same date.

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition), it means the SEC is informed of the release of material information. However, it is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unlike information that is formally 'filed'. This is a standard disclosure practice for earnings releases.

The financial results reported cover the three-month period and the nine-month period, both ending on September 30, 2009.
