(1)  Our fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in September. As a result, fiscal 2001 included 53 weeks.
(2)  During fiscal 2004, we sold our consolidated subsidiaries, the Vésper Operating Companies and TowerCo, and returned personal mobile service (SMP) licenses to Anatel, the telecommunications regulatory agency in Brazil. The results of operations, including gains and losses realized on the sales transactions and the SMP licenses, are presented as discontinued operations.
(3)  During fiscal 2001, we accounted for our investment in the Vésper Operating Companies under the equity method of accounting and recorded $150 million in equity in losses of those entities in income (loss) from continuing operations before accounting change.
(4)  We effected a two-for-one stock split in August 2004. All references to number of shares and per share amounts reflect this stock split.
(5)  Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we recorded royalty revenues from certain licensees based on our estimates of royalties during the period they were earned. Starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we began recognizing royalty revenues solely based on royalties reported by licensees during the quarter. The change in the timing of recognizing royalty revenue was made prospectively and had the initial one-time effect of reducing royalty revenues recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Annual Report for more information.
