Item 2.02

 

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Item 7.01

 

Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On February 1, 2012, the Registrant issued a press release announcing its results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  The full text of the press release, appearing in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Exhibit 99.1 is furnished under both Item 2.02 “Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and Item 7.01 “Regulation FD Disclosure.”

 

Item 4.02(a)

 

Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On January 27, 2012, management and the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Registrant concluded that an error existed in the Registrant’s previously issued financial statements relating to accounting for a deferred income tax liability that requires correction.  During 2011, the Registrant undertook an analysis of the tax basis of certain businesses in connection with a review of its organizational structure.  As a result of this review, the Registrant determined that the original deferred income tax provision recorded in 2002 in connection with a series of transactions, which included the exchange of certain of the Registrant’s media businesses for certain other assets, was incorrectly calculated and incorrectly allocated to a former subsidiary.  The correction of these errors as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 increased non-current deferred income tax liabilities and reduced shareholders’ equity by $380.9 million and increased shareholders’ equity and reduced deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2007 by $241.9 million. There is also a reclassification of non-current deferred income tax assets of $110.5 million and $102.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which is required because non-current deferred income tax assets and liabilities of the same tax jurisdiction must be presented on the consolidated balance sheet on a net basis.  Correcting these errors has no impact on the Registrant’s consolidated statement of operations or consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

This deferred income tax liability is non-cash in nature, as it can be effectively permanently deferred as long as the Registrant maintains the relevant portions of its organizational structure (which it fully intends to do).  The Registrant does not anticipate any circumstances in which the deferred income tax liability would be realized.

 

Management and the Committee also concluded that certain previously issued consolidated financial statements included in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as well as the Registrant’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for each of the periods ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2011, can no longer be relied upon, as these statements contain the error related to this $380.9 million deferred income tax liability.  Immediately after the filing of this Form 8-K, the Registrant will be amending and restating its consolidated financial statements by filing an amended Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and amended Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011.  Management and the Committee have discussed this matter with the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm.
