Item 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
Hillenbrand Industries, Inc. previously reported in Forms 8-K, the completion of its sales of Forethought Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and of the infant care and piped-medical gas businesses of Hill-Rom Company, a subsidiary of Hillenbrand.
The Company has prepared historical statements of income for the five-year period from 1999 — 2003, which exclude the results of the disposed businesses from the results of continuing operations. This filing presents financial information for the consolidated entity in a manner that will be comparable to the future results of continuing operations, without the effects of the disposed businesses. Shared service costs, which had been allocated to these entities but were retained by Hillenbrand upon divestiture, were included in continuing operations. The costs incurred by Hillenbrand related to the divestitures have been included as a component of discontinued operations. These statements of income are filed as Exhibit 99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. The contents of such Exhibit are incorporated herein by reference.
