2000 quarter: June 26, 2000 to Sept. 24, 2000. (13 weeks)
(B) During the second quarter of 2001, the Company announced a voluntary retirement program. In addition, various
other workforce reduction initiatives have been implemented throughout the organization. In the third quarter of
2001, the Company recorded pretax restructuring charges of $130.7 million for these initiatives, which reduced
diluted earnings per share by $.26.
(C) For the third quarter of 2001, income taxes related to operations consisted of the following:
Tax expense on third quarter income before non-operating items
and restructuring charges at 50.32% $ (37,919)
Effective tax rate adjustment (1) (8,578)
Tax benefit on restructuring charges at 39.01% 50,969
Income taxes related to operations $ 4,472
(1) The estimated effective tax rate for the full year 2001, excluding restructuring charges and non-operating items,
rose to 50.32% at the end of the third quarter from 47.25% at the end of the second quarter 2001. The increase in
the rate was attributable to lower projected earnings for full year 2001 while non-deductible expenses (mainly
amortization of goodwill) did not change. As a result of the higher tax rate, third quarter income tax expense
included a catch-up adjustment of $8.6 million for the impact of this higher rate on earnings in the first half of
2001. This adjustment reduced third quarter 2001 diluted earnings per share by $.03.
(D) The third quarter of 2001 included the following non-operating items:

Total non-operating items $ 3,114 $ -

3. (E) For the third quarter of 2001, the Company's stock options and convertible securities were not included in the
calculation of diluted EPS because their effects were antidilutive.
For 2000, diluted EPS is computed assuming that the Series B convertible preferred shares and the LYONs
debt securities were converted into common shares. Also, weighted average common shares outstanding
was adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options. The Company has certain other convertible securities which
were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because their effects are antidilutive. Following is the calculation
of diluted EPS for the third quarter:
