uses a centralized function. Other staff functions, such as
corporate finance, human resources and legal are allocated to
segments, primarily as a percentage of sales.

(5) Includes an allocation of depreciation of corporate property,
plant and equipment not specifically identifiable to a segment.
Related depreciable assets are not allocated to segment assets.

(6) Includes $30 related to impairment of long-lived assets of Corning

CORNING INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges and Credits

In the first quarter of 2004, we recorded net restructuring, impairment and other charges and credits totaling $34 million ($21 million after tax and minority interest). A summary of these charges and credits follow:

We recorded $39 million of accelerated depreciation and $1 million of exit costs relating to the final shutdown of our semiconductor materials manufacturing facility in Charleston, South Carolina, which we previously announced in the fourth quarter of 2003.
We recorded credits of $6 million primarily related to proceeds in excess of assumed salvage values for assets that were previously impaired.
2. Asbestos Settlement

On March 28, 2003, we announced that we had reached agreement with the representatives of asbestos claimants for the settlement of all current and future asbestos claims against us and Pittsburgh Corning Corporation (PCC), which might arise from PCC products or operations. Accordingly, we recorded a charge of $298 million ($192 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2003. The charge included the value of 25 million shares of Corning common stock which we will contribute as part of the settlement. Also at that time, we indicated that any changes in the value of our common stock contribution would be recognized in our quarterly results through the date of contribution to the settlement trust. As required, we recorded a mark-to-market charge of $19 million ($18 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2004 reflecting the increased fair value of Corning's common stock. Since the first quarter of 2003, we have recorded total charges of $432 million ($282 million after tax) to reflect the settlement and to mark-to-market the value of our common stock.

3. Long-Term Debt

In March 2004, we issued $400 million of senior unsecured notes, of which $200 million aggregate principal amount of 5.90% notes mature on March 15, 2014 and $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.20% notes mature on March 15, 2016. These senior unsecured notes were issued under our existing $5 billion universal shelf registration statement, which became effective in March 2001. We realized net proceeds of approximately $396 million from the issuance of these notes. We will pay interest on these senior unsecured notes on each March 15 and September 15. These senior unsecured notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time.

During the first quarter of 2004, we issued 22 million shares of common stock and paid $24 million in cash in exchange for 3.5% convertible debentures with a book value of $213 million. In addition, we repurchased 150 thousand of our zero coupon convertible debentures with a book value of $119 million for $117 million in cash. As a result of these transactions, we recorded a loss of $23 million ($21 million after tax) in first quarter 2004.

4. Income Tax

In the first quarter of 2004, the effective tax benefit rate excluding restructuring, impairment, and other charges and credits, the asbestos settlement, and loss on repurchases and retirement of debt transactions was 33%.
