Note - Prior year (2001) information has been recast to conform to the following presentation conventions:


-- In 2002, the company began presenting U.S. income taxes related to foreign equity investment dividends in the consolidated income tax provision. The company previously presented these taxes in equity income. This presentation change has no impact on net income or earnings per share.

-- In the fourth quarter 2001, the company changed its presentation of pass-through finished product delivery costs reimbursed by customers. The company now presents these items separately as sales and cost of products and services. These items were previously offset for zero impact within cost of products and services. This change has a minor impact on revenue and profit margins growth, and has no impact on gross profit, operating income, net income or earnings per share.
