Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On November 3, 2005, the registrant issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, which was filed on November 3, 2005 as Exhibit 99.1 to the registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K. In the original press release, the second bullet point under the heading “Third Quarter 2005 Highlights” stated the registrant’s third quarter REIT taxable income as follows: “REIT taxable income of $1.81 per share fully covered third quarter dividend of $1.65 per share.” The registrant is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A to correct that statement in the original press release and to furnish the revised press release as an exhibit hereto. The corrected language in the referenced bullet point states the registrant’s third quarter REIT taxable income as follows: “REIT taxable income of $2.49 per share fully covered third quarter dividend of $1.65 per share.” A copy of the revised press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and has also been posted on the registrant’s Web site at www.ncen.com. References to the registrant’s Web site in the press release do not incorporate by reference the information on the registrant’s Web site into this Current Report on Form 8-K and the registrant disclaims any such incorporation by reference.

 

The press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and the information contained therein shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The press release shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
