NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9. STOCK OPTION PLANS
    The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. Had the Company adopted the fair value based accounting method for stock compensation expense prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's diluted net income per common and equivalent share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):

  2002 2001 2000




Net income—as reported $ 152,713 $ 145,148 $ 117,840
Net income—pro forma 137,803 132,963 108,503
Diluted net income per share—as reported 1.52 1.42 1.17
Diluted net income per share—pro forma 1.37 1.30 1.07

    The weighted average fair value of option grants was $10.66, $10.90, and $7.25 during fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

  2002 2001 2000




Expected volatility 35.5 % 34.1 % 40.8 %
Risk-free interest rate 4.1 % 5.9 % 5.9 %
Expected lives 5 years 5 years 5 years
Dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 %

    The pro forma disclosures provided are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years due to future grants.

(a) 1983, 1992, and 1998 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plans

    In accordance with the Incentive Stock Option Plans adopted in October 1983, November 1992, and October 1998, options to purchase approximately 40.2 million shares of Company common stock may be granted to officers, directors, and eligible employees, as defined. Options are granted at the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, are exercisable beginning one to two years from the date of grant, with various vesting periods, and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

    In October 1993, the 1983 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1983 Plan") expired. Consequently, no options were granted under the 1983 Plan subsequent to fiscal 1993. Options granted prior to the expiration of the 1983 Plan remain exercisable through April 2003.

    In October 1998, the 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan") was adopted and no additional options were granted under the 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"). Options granted under the 1992 Plan prior to the adoption of the 1998 Plan remain exercisable through March 2008.
