I humbly suggest that you look again at to the meaning of "common equity public float" as you may wish to revise your question, "will this make a difference".

As to your question about the applicable year end, why do you think it might be May 31, 2009, which would give a second quarter end date of November 30, 2008?

The words "most recently completed second fiscal quarter" might prove invaluable in determining your response.
