We
have furnished as Exhibits 100.INS, 100.SCH, 100.CAL, 100.LAB and 100.PRE to
this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) the following materials from
our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2009, formatted in
eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“XBRL”): (i) Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008;
(ii) Condensed Consolidated Income Statements for the Three-Month Periods
Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively; (iii) Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively; and (iv) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, tagged as blocks of text. Users of this data are advised pursuant to
Rule 401 of Regulation S-T that the financial and other information contained in
the XBRL documents is unaudited and these are not our official publicly filed
financial statements. The purpose of submitting these XBRL formatted
documents is to test the related format and technology and, as a result,
investors should continue to rely on the official filed version of the furnished
documents and not rely on the information in this Form 8-K, including the
information attached as Exhibits 100.INS, 100.SCH, 100.CAL, 100.LAB and 100.PRE,
in making investment decisions.
Although
we intended to furnish this information as Exhibits 100.INS, 100.SCH, 100.CAL,
100.LAB and 100.PRE to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28,
2009, the XBRL formatted exhibits were not accepted by the EDGAR system as a
result of tagging and formatting difficulties experienced through our EDGAR
filing agent.
In
accordance with Rule 402 of Regulation S-T, the information in this Form 8-K,
including Exhibits 100.INS, 100.SCH, 100.CAL, 100.LAB and 100.PRE, shall not be
deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to
the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into
any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by
specific reference to this Form 8-K in such filing.
