NOTE: After a change in fiscal year end in which the transition report has been filed on Form 10-K, the registrant may present pro forma information for the transition period and most recent fiscal year (and interim period). Alternatively, the registrant may present a pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the most recent annual period (9 to 12 months under S-X 3-06). In either case, the length of the period used for the target should be identical to the period of the registrant. (Last updated: 3/31/2010) |
NOTE: The staff generally objects to retroactive pro forma presentation of transactions for periods other than the latest year and interim period, except in the circumstances described here. In some cases, retroactive presentations of revenues and costs of revenues may be meaningful for discussion of trends in MD&A, but more comprehensive presentations (through operating income, for example) can be misleading because they cannot meaningfully or accurately depict what operating results would have been had the transaction occurred at the earlier date.
