Summary
This filing is an amendment to Southern Company's (SO) Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009. The amendment, filed on August 26, 2009, primarily addresses an inadvertent EDGAR coding error that prevented the attachment of Exhibit 101, which contains the company's financial statements in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format. No changes are made to the substantive financial information previously filed on August 6, 2009. Investors should note that this amendment is purely technical and does not introduce new financial data or alter the company's reported performance for the period. The primary purpose of this filing is to correctly provide the XBRL-formatted financial data, which includes the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Cash Flows, Balance Sheets, Comprehensive Income, and related notes. While the XBRL data itself is not deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, its proper submission is crucial for regulatory compliance and data accessibility. Investors relying on detailed financial data should refer to the original August 6, 2009 Form 10-Q filing for the substance of Southern Company's financial position and performance.
