Item 9.    Regulation FD Disclosure

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being provided to correct certain information contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 18, 2003 pursuant to which we furnished, and included as an exhibit, a news release that we made on that date. That news release relates to our unaudited results of operations for our fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 and the fourth quarter of that fiscal year. We have determined that the basic and dilutive average numbers of common shares outstanding for the quarter ended January 31, 2002 set forth in our consolidated statements of income (unaudited) for the quarters ended January 31, 2002 and 2003 included in that news release should have been 4,456 million and 4,473 million, respectively. We have also determined that as a result of that correction, as well as rounding, the last sentence of the first paragraph of the news release should have reported that: “Adjusted for the change in accounting for goodwill, basic earnings per share would have been up 11.8% over the corresponding period in fiscal 2002.” The above changes are reflected in the corrected news release furnished herewith.
