Based on preliminary data, the estimated overstatement of A/R is $45 million,
but may change.
Limited to components of U.S. trade A/R totaling $372 million as of March 31,

Likely represents a cumulative effect over multiple periods
Identity of and impact on prior periods to be determined consistent with
Audit Committee’s conclusion on April 26, 2005
Charge or reduction in revenue is non-cash
Work plan completed; work underway
Goal is May 10, 2005 10-Q filing date, but we anticipate delaying that filing
