Item 2.02 Results of Operation and Financial Condition

The information in this Form 8-K that is furnished under “Item 2.02.

Reclassifications have been made to previously-reported quarterly segment financial information for 2004 and annual segment financial information for 2004 and 2003 to conform with the realigned business structure. As a result of the realignment, the Company will now report financial results for the following business segments:
