<An other point that was mentioned in the call is that $.02 were the result of a favorable tax ruling and a litigation settlement. Without those two one-time items, they would have missed by a penny.>

Yes, I though it strange in the press release to read "
The company's ongoing net income was $455 million, or $0.27 per share, for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2004."

Since WHEN was a litigation settlement part of ongoing operations????
