Note: Currency effect is determined by comparing adjusted 2002
reported amounts, calculated using 2001 monthly average exchange
rates, to the actual 2001 reported amounts. Constant currency sales is
not a GAAP defined measure of revenue growth. This measure provides
information on sales growth assuming that foreign currency exchange
rates have not changed between years. Constant currency sales, as
defined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similar
measures reported by other companies.
