- Financially Speaking — GeoEye, Inc. has announced the filing of its Security and Exchange Commission 10-Q for the second quarter of 2008 and its restatements for 2005, 2006 and 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 will be delayed for up to two weeks. The additional time is required to re-calculate the proper interim period allocations of the penalties and interest related to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) milestone cost-sharing payments made to the company under the terms of the Government's NextView contract. The issue under review relates to the accrual of payments made by the NGA within individual quarters during the development of the GeoEye-1 satellite. The Company continues to believe that a filing made with the IRS on August 8, 2008 will eliminate the penalties and interest in the third quarter of 2008 as discussed in its earnings release dated August 12, 2008
