Oh! Do you mean this black and white part? The Company is required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") to disclose pro forma information regarding option grants made to its employees based on specified valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation charges. These amounts have not been reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations because no compensation charge arises when the price of the employees' stock options equals the market value of the underlying stock at the grant date, as in the case of options granted to the Company's employees. Pro forma information under SFAS 123 is as follows (in millions, except per-share amounts): Years Ended July 28, 2001 July 29, 2000 July 31, 1999 Net income (loss)--as reported $(1,014) $2,668 $2,023 Net income (loss)--pro forma $(2,705) $1,549 $1,487 Basic net income (loss) per share--as reported $(0.14) $0.39 $0.30 Diluted net income (loss) per share--as reported $(0.14) $0.36 $0.29 Basic net income (loss) per share--pro forma $(0.38) $0.22 $0.22 Diluted net income (loss) per share--pro forma $(0.38) $0.21 $0.21 Help me out - I don't see anything about $95 billion dollars. Maybe you can find it - you're obviously better at reading financial statements.
