Management Commentary, Risks, and Contingencies
- Cause of Restatement: Payments to certain vendors in the occupational health division were not properly accrued, resulting in under-accruals.
- Scope of Impact: The Audit Committee concluded that financial statements for the years ended 2002, 2003, and 2004, and the first two quarters of 2004 and 2005, should not be relied upon.
- Reporting Entity Note: The affected statements predate the acquisition of the Credit Information Group of The First American Corporation (accounted for as a combination under common control).
- Forward-Looking Statements: The company warns that estimates regarding the impact on net income and future filings involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.
