Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Cisco Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Cisco")
manufactures and sells networking and communications products and
provides services associated with that equipment and its use. The
Company's products are installed at corporations, public institutions,
and telecommunication companies, and commercial businesses, and also
found in personal residences. Cisco provides a broad line of products
for transporting data, voice, and video within buildings, across
campuses, and around the world.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fiscal Year The Company's
fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the last Saturday in July.
Fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 were 52-week fiscal years.
Principles of Consolidation The
Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Cisco Systems, Inc.
and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining
maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions.
Investments The Company's investments
comprise U.S. government notes and bonds; corporate notes and bonds; municipal
notes and bonds; and publicly traded corporate equity securities. Investments
with original or remaining maturities of more than three months and less than
one year are considered to be short-term. These investments are custodied with
a major financial institution. The specific identification method is used to
determine the cost basis of notes and bonds disposed of. The weighted-average
method is used to determine the cost basis of publicly traded corporate equity
securities disposed of. At July 26, 2003 and July 27, 2002, the Company's
investments were classified as available for sale. These investments are
recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains
and losses on these investments are included as a separate component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of any related tax effect.
The Company recognizes an impairment charge when the decline in the fair value
of its investments below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary.
The Company also has minority investments in privately held companies. These
investments are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets
and are carried at cost. The Company monitors these investments for impairment
and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values.
Inventories Inventories are stated
at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using standard cost, which
approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company provides
inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily
by future demand forecasts.
Restricted Investments Restricted
investments consisted of U.S. government notes and bonds with maturities of more
than one year. These investments were carried at fair value and were restricted
as collateral for specified obligations under certain lease agreements. In fiscal
2002, the Company elected to purchase all of the land and buildings as well as
sites under construction under the lease agreements. As a result, all restricted
investments were liquidated and the Company no longer has any sites under such
lease agreements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair
value of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accrued compensation, and other accrued liabilities, approximate cost
because of their short maturities. The fair value of investments is determined using
quoted market prices for those securities or similar financial instruments.
Concentrations Cash and cash equivalents
are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may
exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits
may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, with the
exception of certain financing transactions, does not require collateral from its
customers. The Company's customers are primarily in the service provider and
enterprise markets.
The Company receives certain of its components from sole suppliers. Additionally,
the Company relies on a limited number of contract manufacturers and suppliers to
provide manufacturing services for its products. The inability of any contract
manufacturer or supplier to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could
materially impact future operating results.
Revenue Recognition The Company
recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. In instances where the customer specifies final acceptance
of the product, system, or solution, revenue is deferred until all acceptance
criteria have been met. Service revenue is generally deferred and, in most cases,
recognized ratably over the period during which the services are to be performed,
which is typically from one to three years. Cash payments received in advance of
product or service revenue are recorded as deferred revenue.
When a sale involves multiple elements, such as sales of products that include
services, the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective
element based on its relative fair value and recognized when revenue recognition
criteria for each element are met. Fair value for each element is established
based on the sales price charged when the same element is sold separately.
The Company makes sales to two-tier distribution channels and recognizes revenue
to two-tier distributors based on a sell-through method utilizing information
provided by its distributors. These distributors are given business terms to
return a portion of inventory, receive credits for changes in selling prices,
and participate in various cooperative marketing programs. The Company maintains
estimated accruals and allowances for such exposures. The Company accrues for
warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its historical
experience.
Lease Receivables The Company provides
a variety of lease financing services to its customers to build, maintain, and
upgrade their networks. Lease receivables primarily represent the principal balance
remaining in sales-type and direct-financing leases under these programs, net of
reserves. These leases typically have two- to three-year terms and are usually
collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets.
Advertising Costs The Company expenses
all advertising costs as incurred.
Software Development Costs Software
development costs required to be capitalized pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," have not been material to date.
Software development costs for internal use required to be capitalized pursuant to
Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," have also not been material to date.
Depreciation and Amortization Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of 25 years are used
for buildings. Estimated useful lives of 30 to 36 months are used for computer
equipment and related software and five years for furniture and fixtures. Estimated
useful lives of up to five years are used for production, engineering, and other
equipment. Depreciation of operating lease assets is computed based on the respective
lease terms, which range up to three years. Depreciation and amortization of leasehold
improvements are computed using the shorter of the remaining lease terms or five years.
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets In
July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on an annual
basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired,
rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Furthermore, SFAS
142 requires purchased intangible assets other than goodwill to be amortized over their
useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite.
SFAS 142 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, the
Company elected to early adopt the accounting standard effective the beginning of fiscal
2002. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company ceased amortizing goodwill totaling $3.2
billion as of the beginning of fiscal 2002, including $55 million of acquired workforce
intangible previously classified as purchased intangible assets, net of related deferred
tax liabilities. Based on the impairment tests performed using independent third-party
valuations, there was no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2003 and 2002. There can be
no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to
earnings.
Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization
is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally two to five
years.
The following table presents the impact of SFAS 142 on net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share had the accounting standard been in effect for fiscal 2001 (in millions,
except per-share amounts):

Income Taxes Income tax expense is based on pre-tax
financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their reported amounts.
Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic
net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and
excludes dilutive potential common shares outstanding, as their effect is antidilutive.
Dilutive potential common shares primarily consist of employee stock options and restricted
common stock.
Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities
of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment are translated to U.S.
dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation
adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss). Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year.
Where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, translation adjustments are recorded in other
income (loss), net.
Derivatives The Company recognizes derivative instruments
as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments
at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended
use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss is recognized in
earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item
attributed to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge,
the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when
the hedged exposure affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in
earnings immediately.
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency and securities
price risk. The Company's objective in holding derivatives is to minimize the volatility of
earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency and security prices.
Certain forecasted transactions and foreign currency assets and liabilities expose the Company
to foreign currency risk. The Company purchases currency options and designates these currency
options as cash flow hedges of foreign currency forecasted transactions related to certain
operating expenses. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize
the short-term impact of currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables,
investments, and payables. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as
accounting hedges, and all changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in the period
of change.
The fair value of derivative instruments as of July 26, 2003 and changes in fair value during
fiscal 2003 were not material. During fiscal 2003, there were no significant gains or losses
recognized in earnings for hedge ineffectiveness. The Company did not discontinue any hedges
because it was probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur.
Minority Interest Minority interest represents the
preferred stockholders' proportionate share of the equity of Cisco Systems, K.K. (Japan). At
July 26, 2003, the Company owned all issued and outstanding common stock amounting to 94.8%
of the voting rights. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into one share of common
stock of Cisco Systems, K.K. (Japan) at any time at the option of the holder.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial
statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates
are used for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, inventory
allowances, warranty costs, investment impairments, impairments of goodwill and purchased
intangible assets, restructuring costs and other special charges, income taxes, and loss
contingencies, among others. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets
may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted
future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement
of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that
management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Employee Stock Option Plans Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," amends the disclosure requirements
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), to require more prominent disclosures in both annual
and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value
method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Under the intrinsic value method, because
the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying
stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
The Company is required under SFAS 123 to disclose pro forma information regarding option grants
made to its employees based on specified valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation
charges. The pro forma information is as follows (in millions, except per-share amounts):

The value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have
no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company's employee stock
options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing valuation models do not provide a reliable measure of the fair value of
the Company's employee stock options. (For additional information regarding this pro forma
information, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Recent Accounting Pronouncement Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities"
("FIN 46"), was issued in January 2003. FIN 46 requires that if an entity is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of
the variable interest entity should be included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the
entity. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into
after January 31, 2003. For those arrangements entered into prior to January 31, 2003, the
provisions of FIN 46 are required to be adopted at the beginning of the first interim or annual
period beginning after June 15, 2003. (For additional information regarding variable interest
entities and the impact of the adoption of FIN 46, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have
been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current year presentation.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
A summary of the purchase acquisitions completed during fiscal 2003 is as follows (in millions):

The Company completed five acquisitions during fiscal 2003. During the first quarter of fiscal
2003, the Company completed the acquisition of AYR Networks, Inc. to augment the continued
evolution of Cisco IOS Software, the network systems software for the Company's routing and
switching platforms. During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed the
acquisition of Psionic Software, Inc. to complement its continued development of network
security software in the vulnerability assessment and management security services areas.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of Okena, Inc.
to further enhance its security portfolio of network-integrated solutions and appliances for
virtual private networks (VPNs), firewalling, intrusion protection, and security management.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of SignalWorks,
Inc. and acquired the business of The Linksys Group, Inc. SignalWorks is a developer of software
that delivers audio capabilities for the Company's IP phones and IP telephony systems. The
acquisition of the business of Linksys enables the Company to provide wired and wireless
products for consumers and small-office/home-office (SOHO) users.
The purchase consideration for each of the Company's acquisitions was also allocated to
tangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation. Deferred stock-based compensation
represents the intrinsic value of the unvested portion of the restricted shares exchanged
or options assumed and is amortized as compensation cost over the remaining future vesting
period of the restricted shares exchanged or stock options assumed of each acquired company.
The balance for deferred stock-based compensation is reflected as a debit to additional
paid-in capital in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity. The following table
provides a summary of the activity for deferred stock-based compensation (in millions):

The Company's methodology for allocating the purchase price to in-process research and
development ("in-process R&D") is determined through established valuation
techniques in the high-technology communications equipment industry and based on valuations
performed by an independent third party. In-process R&D is expensed upon acquisition
because technological feasibility has not been established and no future alternative uses
exist. Total in-process R&D expense in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $4 million, $65
million, and $855 million, respectively. The in-process R&D expense that was attributable
to stock consideration for the same periods was $4 million, $53 million, and $739 million,
respectively.
A summary of the purchase transactions completed in fiscal 2002 and 2001 is outlined as follows
(in millions):

The following table presents details of the purchased intangible assets acquired during fiscal
2003 and 2002 (in millions, except number of years):

Note 1: The purchased intangible asset relates to trademarks and
customer relationships.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of each business from the
date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects
of these acquisitions were not material on either an individual or aggregate basis to the Company's
results.
The Company acquired AuroraNetics, Inc. in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. During fiscal 2003,
the Company issued approximately 2.7 million shares of common stock with a value of $39 million to
the former stockholders of AuroraNetics, Inc., as a result of the achievement of certain agreed-upon
milestones. Such amounts were allocated to goodwill and deferred stock-based compensation totaling
$31 million and $8 million, respectively. The Company may also be required to issue approximately
up to an additional 2.7 million shares of common stock to such former stockholders under the terms
of the definitive acquisition agreement, if certain other agreed-upon milestones are achieved.
The following tables present details of the Company's total purchased intangible assets (in millions):

The following table presents details of the amortization expense of purchased intangible assets
(excluding the impairment of purchased intangible assets included in restructuring and other special
charges for fiscal 2001) as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions):

The estimated future amortization expense of purchased intangible assets as of July 26, 2003 is as
follows (in millions):

The following tables present the changes in goodwill allocated to the Company's reportable segments
during fiscal 2003 and 2002 (in millions):


In fiscal 2003, the Company purchased a portion of the minority interest of Cisco Systems, K.K.
(Japan). As a result, the Company increased its ownership from 92.4% to 94.8% of the voting
rights of Cisco Systems, K.K. (Japan) and recorded goodwill of $54 million.
4. RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES
On April 16, 2001, the Company announced a restructuring program, which included a worldwide workforce
reduction, consolidation of excess facilities, and restructuring of certain business functions. The
following table summarizes the activity related to the liability for restructuring costs and other
special charges as of July 26, 2003 (in millions):

Note 1: Due to changes in previous estimates, in fiscal 2002, the
Company reclassified $35 million of restructuring liabilities related to the workforce
reduction charges to consolidation of excess facilities and other charges. The initial
estimated workforce reduction was approximately 6,000 regular employees. Approximately 5,400
regular employees have been terminated and the liability has been paid. In addition, during
fiscal 2002, the Company increased the restructuring liabilities related to the consolidation
of excess facilities and other charges by $93 million, which was recorded during the third
quarter of fiscal 2002, due to changes in real estate market conditions. The increase in
restructuring liabilities was recorded as expenses related to research and development
($39 million), sales and marketing ($42 million), general and administrative ($8 million),
and cost of sales ($4 million) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Note 2: During fiscal 2003, the Company increased the restructuring liabilities related to
the consolidation of excess facilities and other charges by $45 million, which was recorded
during the first quarter and fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, due to changes in real estate
market conditions. The increase in restructuring liabilities was recorded as expenses
related to research and development ($18 million), sales and marketing ($18 million),
general and administrative ($4 million), and cost of sales ($5 million) in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Note 3: Includes approximately $140 million of lease obligations that were terminated during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and will be paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
The remaining amounts related to the net lease expense due to the consolidation of excess
facilities will be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal 2010.
5. BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW DETAILS
The following tables provide details of selected balance sheet items (in millions):

The following table presents supplemental cash flow information of significant non-cash
investing and financing activities (in millions):

6. LEASE RECEIVABLES, NET
Lease receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases resulting from the sale of
the Company's and complementary third-party products and services. These lease arrangements
typically have terms from two to three years and are usually collateralized by a security
interest in the underlying assets. The net lease receivables are summarized as follows (in
millions):

Contractual maturities of the gross lease receivables at July 26, 2003 were $316 million in
fiscal 2004, $317 million in fiscal 2005, $96 million in fiscal 2006, $12 million in fiscal 2007,
and $6 million in fiscal 2008. Actual cash collections may differ from the contractual maturities
due to early customer buyouts or refinancings.
7. INVESTMENTS
The following tables summarize the Company's investments (in millions):

The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company's notes and bond investments at July
26, 2003 (in millions):

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Company leases office space in several U.S. locations, as well as locations elsewhere in
the Americas International, EMEA, Asia Pacific, and Japan. Rent expense totaled $196 million,
$265 million, and $381 million in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Future annual
minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating leases with an initial
term in excess of one year as of July 26, 2003 were as follows (in millions):

The Company had entered into several agreements to lease sites in San Jose, California, where
its headquarters is located, and certain other facilities, both completed and under construction,
in the areas of San Jose, California; Boxborough, Massachusetts; Salem, New Hampshire; Richardson,
Texas; and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Under these agreements, the Company could,
at its option, purchase the land or both land and buildings. The Company could purchase the
buildings at approximately the amount expended by the lessors to construct the buildings. As
part of the lease agreements, the Company had restricted certain of its investment securities
as collateral for specified obligations of the lessors. In fiscal 2002, the Company elected to
purchase all of the land and buildings as well as sites under construction under the above lease
agreements. The total purchase price was approximately $1.9 billion and was primarily funded
by the liquidation of restricted investments and lease deposits. As a result, the Company no
longer has any sites under such lease agreements.
Purchase Commitments with Contract Manufacturers and Suppliers
The Company uses several contract manufacturers and suppliers to provide manufacturing services
for its products. During the normal course of business, in order to reduce manufacturing lead
times and ensure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with certain
contract manufacturers and suppliers that allow them to procure inventory based upon criteria
as defined by the Company. As of July 26, 2003, the Company has purchase commitments for
inventory of approximately $718 million, compared with $825 million as of July 27, 2002.
The Company records a liability for purchase commitments related to on-order inventory that is
in excess of its future demand forecasts. As of July 26, 2003, the liability for purchase
commitments was $99 million, compared with $238 million as of July 27, 2002, and was included
in other accrued liabilities.
Other Commitments
In fiscal 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to invest approximately $1.0 billion in
venture funds managed by SOFTBANK Corp. and its affiliates ("SOFTBANK"), which are
required to be funded on demand. In fiscal 2003, this agreement was amended to a commitment of
up to $800 million, of which up to $550 million is to be invested in venture funds under terms
similar to the original agreement and $250 million invested as senior debt with entities as
directed by SOFTBANK. The Company's commitment to fund the senior debt is contingent upon the
achievement of certain agreed-upon milestones. As of July 26, 2003, the Company has invested
$247 million in the venture funds and $49 million in the senior debt, and both were recorded
as investments in privately held companies. The Company had invested $100 million of the
original venture funds commitment as of July 27, 2002.
The Company provides structured financing to certain qualified customers to be used for the
purchase of equipment and other needs through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cisco Systems
Capital Corporation. These loan commitments may be funded over a two- to three-year period,
provided that these customers achieve specific business milestones and satisfy certain
financial covenants. As of July 26, 2003, the outstanding loan commitments were approximately
$97 million, of which approximately $38 million was eligible for draw-down. As of July 27,
2002, the outstanding loan commitments were approximately $948 million, of which approximately
$209 million was eligible for draw-down.
The Company has entered into several agreements to purchase or develop real estate, subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of July 26, 2003, the total amount of commitments,
if certain conditions are met, was approximately $38 million, compared with approximately $491
million as of July 27, 2002.
As of July 26, 2003, the Company has a commitment of approximately $130 million to purchase
the remaining portion of the minority interest of Cisco Systems, K.K. (Japan), compared with
approximately $190 million as of July 27, 2002.
The Company also has certain other funding commitments related to its privately held investments
that are based on the achievement of certain agreed-upon milestones. The funding commitments
were approximately $95 million as of July 26, 2003, compared with approximately $152 million
as of July 27, 2002.
Variable Interest Entities
In April 2001, the Company entered into a commitment to provide convertible debt funding of
approximately $84 million to Andiamo Systems Inc. ("Andiamo"), a storage switch
developer. This debt will be convertible into approximately 44% of the equity in Andiamo,
subject to certain terms and conditions. In connection with this investment, the Company
obtained a call option that provided the Company the right to purchase Andiamo. The purchase
price under the call option is based on a valuation of Andiamo using a negotiated formula as
discussed below. The Company also entered into a commitment to provide non-convertible debt
funding to Andiamo of approximately $100 million through the close of the acquisition, subject
to period funding.
On August 19, 2002, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
privately held Andiamo, which represents the exercise of its rights under the call
option. The acquisition of Andiamo is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal
2004, but no later than July 31, 2004. Under the terms of the agreement, common stock
and options of the Company will be exchanged for all outstanding shares and options
of Andiamo not owned by the Company at the closing of the acquisition. The amount of
the purchase price for the remaining equity interests in Andiamo not then held by the
Company is not determinable at this time, but will be based primarily upon a
formula-based valuation of Andiamo to be determined by applying a multiple to the actual,
annualized revenue generated from sales by the Company of products attributable to
Andiamo during a three-month period shortly preceding the closing. Under its agreements
with Andiamo, the Company is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of all Andiamo
products. The multiple will be equal to the Company's average market capitalization
during a specified period divided by the Company's annualized revenue for a three-month
period prior to closing, subject to adjustment as follows: (i) if the multiple so
calculated is less than 10, then the multiple to be used for purposes of determining
the transaction price shall be the midpoint between 10 and the multiple so calculated;
(ii) if the multiple so calculated is greater than 15, then the multiple to be used
for purposes of determining the transaction price shall be the midpoint between 15 and
the multiple so calculated. There is no minimum purchase price, and the maximum
purchase price is limited to approximately $2.5 billion in shares of the Company's
common stock valued at the time of closing. The acquisition has received the required
approvals of the Board of Directors from both companies and is subject to various
closing conditions and approvals, including stockholder approval by Andiamo. As of
July 26, 2003, the Company has invested $84 million in the convertible debt and $76
million in the non-convertible debt. Substantially all of the investment in Andiamo
has been expensed as research and development costs, as if such expenses constituted
the development costs of the Company.
The Company has evaluated its debt investment in Andiamo and has determined that
Andiamo is a variable interest entity under FIN 46. The Company has concluded that
it is the primary beneficiary as defined by FIN 46 and, as a result, the Company is
required to consolidate Andiamo beginning the first day of the first quarter of fiscal
2004.
FIN 46 will require the Company to account for Andiamo as if it had consolidated it since
the Company's initial investment in April 2001. If the Company consolidated Andiamo from the
date of its initial investment, the Company would be required to account for the call option
as a repurchase right. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," and related
interpretations, variable accounting is required for substantially all Andiamo employee stock
and options because the ending purchase price is primarily derived from a revenue-based formula.
Therefore, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company will revalue the stock and
options of Andiamo each quarter based on an independent valuation of Andiamo until the completion
of the acquisition, which is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2004, but no later than July
31, 2004.
Effective July 27, 2003, the first day of fiscal 2004, the Company will record a non-cash
cumulative charge of approximately $400 million (representing the amount of variable
compensation from April 2001 through July 2003). This will be reported as a separate line
item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle, net of tax. The charge is based on the value of the Andiamo employee
stock and options and their expected vesting upon FIN 46 adoption pursuant to the independent
evaluation, and does not necessarily reflect the value of Andiamo as a whole nor indicate the
expected valuation of Andiamo upon acquisition. Subsequent to the adoption of FIN 46, changes
to the value of Andiamo and the continued vesting of the employee stock and options will result
in adjustments to the non-cash stock compensation charge and will be reflected as operating
expenses. These adjustments will be recorded commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2004
and will continue until such time as the acquisition of Andiamo is completed, which is expected
to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2004, but no later than July 31, 2004. The value of
Andiamo computed under the negotiated formula is largely based on revenues derived from specific
storage switch products.
Excluding the non-cash stock compensation cumulative charge and any future non-cash variable
stock compensation adjustments, the impact of consolidating Andiamo will not materially affect
the Company's operating results or financial condition.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has investments in other privately held
companies and provides structured financing to certain customers through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Cisco Systems Capital Corporation, which may be considered variable interest
entities. The Company has evaluated its investments in these other privately held companies
and structured financings and has determined that there will be no material impact on its
operating results or financial condition upon the adoption of FIN 46.
Guarantees and Product Warranties
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others" ("IN 45"), requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor
must disclose and recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under
that guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement requirement of FIN 45 was effective
for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. As of July 26, 2003, the Company's
guarantees that were issued or modified after December 31, 2002 were not material.
The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for interim and annual periods ending
after December 15, 2002, and are applicable to the Company's product warranty liability and
certain guarantees issued before December 31, 2002. The Company's guarantees issued before
December 31, 2002, which would have been disclosed in accordance with the disclosure requirements
of FIN 45, were not material. As of July 26, 2003 and July 27, 2002, the Company's product warranty
liability recorded in other accrued liabilities was $246 million and $242 million, respectively.
The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability during fiscal
2003 and 2002 (in millions):

The Company accrues for warranty costs as part of its cost of sales based on associated material product
costs and technical support labor costs. The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods
of 90 days, one year, or five years, and for some products, the Company provides a limited lifetime
warranty.
In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of its products, the Company indemnifies
other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company,
with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other party harmless against
losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property
infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time
within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, the
Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the
Company's bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to the Company's agents.
It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements
due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances
involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these
agreements have not had a material impact on the Company's operating results or financial
position.
Derivative Instruments
The Company conducts business on a global basis in several currencies. As such, it is exposed
to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company enters into foreign
exchange forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations
on certain foreign currency receivables, investments, and payables. The gains and losses on
the foreign exchange forward contracts offset the transaction gains and losses on certain
foreign currency receivables, investments, and payables recognized in earnings.
The Company does not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts for trading purposes.
Gains and losses on the contracts are included in other income (loss), net, in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations and offset foreign exchange gains or losses from
the revaluation of intercompany balances or other current assets, investments, and
liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the reporting
entity. The Company's foreign exchange forward contracts related to current assets and
liabilities generally range from one to three months in original maturity. Additionally,
the Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts related to long-term
customer financings with maturities of up to two years. The foreign exchange contracts
related to investments generally have maturities of less than one year.
The Company periodically hedges foreign currency forecasted transactions related to certain
operating expenses with currency options. These transactions are designated as cash flow
hedges. The effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified
into earnings when the hedged exposure affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the
gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. These currency option contracts generally
have maturities of less than one year. The Company does not purchase currency options for
trading purposes. Foreign exchange forward and option contracts as of July 26, 2003 are
summarized as follows (in millions):

The Company's foreign exchange forward and option contracts expose the Company to credit
risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement.
The Company minimizes such risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions.
In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of
credit risk is monitored. Management does not expect any material losses as a result of default
by counterparties.
Legal Proceedings
Beginning on April 20, 2001, a number of purported shareholder class action lawsuits were filed
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Cisco and
certain of its officers and directors. The lawsuits have been consolidated, and the consolidated
action is purportedly brought on behalf of those who purchased the Company's publicly traded
securities between August 10, 1999 and February 6, 2001. Plaintiffs allege that defendants
have made false and misleading statements, purport to assert claims for violations of the
federal securities laws, and seek unspecified compensatory damages and other relief. Cisco
believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously.
In addition, beginning on April 23, 2001, a number of purported shareholder derivative lawsuits
were filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, and in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. There is a procedure in place for the coordination of such
actions. Two purported derivative suits have also been filed in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California, and those federal court actions have been consolidated.
The consolidated federal court derivative action was dismissed by the court, and plaintiffs have
appealed from that decision. The complaints in the various derivative actions include claims for
breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, mismanagement, unjust enrichment, and
violations of the California Corporations Code; seek compensatory and other damages, disgorgement,
and other relief; and are based on essentially the same allegations as the class actions.
In addition, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable,
the Company does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
9. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Program
In September 2001, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire
outstanding common stock. Under the program, up to $3.0 billion of Cisco common stock could be
repurchased over two years. In August 2002, the Board of Directors increased Cisco's stock
repurchase program by $5.0 billion available for repurchase through September 12, 2003. In
March 2003, the Board of Directors increased Cisco's stock repurchase program by an additional
$5.0 billion with no termination date.
During fiscal 2003, the Company repurchased and retired 424 million shares of Cisco common
stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 billion. As of July 26, 2003, the Company has
repurchased and retired 548 million shares of Cisco common stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $7.8 billion since inception of the program, and the remaining authorized amount
for stock repurchases under this program was $5.2 billion.
Shareholders' Rights Plan
In June 1998, the Board of Directors approved a Shareholders' Rights Plan ("Rights
Plan"). The Rights Plan is intended to protect shareholders' rights in the event of
an unsolicited takeover attempt. It is not intended to prevent a takeover of the Company
on terms that are favorable and fair to all shareholders and will not interfere with a
merger approved by the Board of Directors. Each right entitles shareholders to buy a unit
equal to a portion of a new share of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company. The rights
will be exercisable only if a person or a group acquires or announces a tender or exchange
offer to acquire 15% or more of the Company's common stock.
In the event the rights become exercisable, the Rights Plan allows for Cisco shareholders
to acquire, at an exercise price of $108 per right owned, stock of the surviving corporation
having a market value of $217, whether or not Cisco is the surviving corporation. The rights,
which expire in June 2008, are redeemable for $0.00017 per right at the approval of the Board
of Directors.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may
determine the rights, preferences, and terms of the Company's authorized but unissued shares
of preferred stock.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The components of comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, are as follows (in millions):

The change in unrealized gains and losses on investments of $502 million and $215 million
during fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, included the effects of the recognition of charges
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $412 million and $858 million during the
respective first quarter periods attributable to the impairment of certain publicly traded
equity securities. The impairment charges were related to the decline in the fair value of
the Company's publicly traded equity investments below their cost basis that was judged to
be other-than-temporary.
10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Employee Stock Purchase Plans
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan and an International Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "Purchase Plans"), under which 221.4 million shares of the Company's
common stock have been reserved for issuance. Eligible employees may purchase a limited
number of shares of the Company's common stock at a discount of up to 15% of the market
value at certain plan-defined dates. The Purchase Plans terminate on January 3, 2005. In
fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, the shares issued under the Purchase Plans were 23 million,
22 million, and 13 million shares, respectively. At July 26, 2003, 65 million shares were
available for issuance under the Purchase Plans.
Employee Stock Option Plans
Stock Option Program Description The Company has
two plans under which it grants options: the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1996
Plan") and the 1997 Supplemental Stock Incentive Plan (the "Supplemental
Plan").
Stock option grants are designed to reward employees for their long-term contributions to
the Company and provide incentives for them to remain with the Company. The number and
frequency of stock option grants are based on competitive practices, operating results
of the Company, and government regulations. Since the inception of the 1996 Plan, the
Company has granted options to all of its employees, and the majority has been granted
to employees below the vice president level. No options have been granted to directors
or executive officers under the Supplemental Plan.
The maximum number of shares issuable over the term of the 1996 Plan is limited to 2.5
billion shares. Such share reserve consists of the 620 million shares originally
transferred from the predecessor plan plus the number of shares added to the reserve
pursuant to the automatic share increases effected annually beginning in December 1996
and expired in December 2001. The share reserve had automatically increased on the
first trading day of each December by an amount equal to 4.75% of the outstanding
shares on the last trading day of the immediately preceding November. Options granted
under the 1996 Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
underlying stock on the grant date and expire no later than nine years from the
grant date.
Although the Board of Directors has the authority to set other terms, the options will
generally become exercisable for 20% or 25% of the option shares one year from the date
of grant and then ratably over the following 48 or 36 months, respectively. Certain
other grants have utilized a 60-month ratable vesting schedule.
In 1997, the Company adopted the Supplemental Plan, under which options can be granted
or shares can be directly issued to eligible employees. Officers and members of the
Company's Board of Directors are not eligible to participate in the Supplemental Plan.
Nine million shares have been reserved for issuance under the Supplemental Plan, of
which 3 million shares are subject to outstanding options, and 0.5 million shares
have been issued in fiscal 2003. All option grants have an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date.
Distribution and Dilutive Effect of Options
The following table illustrates the grant dilution and exercise dilution (in millions,
except percentages):

Note 1: The percentage for grant dilution is computed based on
options granted and assumed less options canceled as a percentage of shares of common stock
outstanding.
Note 2: The percentage for exercise dilution is computed based on options exercised as a
percentage of shares of common stock outstanding
Basic and diluted shares outstanding for the year ended July 26, 2003 were 7.1 billion shares
and 7.2 billion shares, respectively. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive impact
of in-the-money options, which is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal
period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the tax-effected
proceeds that would be hypothetically received from the exercise of all in-the-money options
are assumed to be used to repurchase shares. In fiscal 2003, the dilutive impact of in-the-money
employee stock options was approximately 99 million shares or 1.4% of the basic shares outstanding
based on Cisco's average share price of $14.11.
The following table summarizes the options granted to the Named Executive Officers during the
periods indicated. The Named Executive Officers represent the Company's Chief Executive Officer
and the four other most highly paid executive officers whose salary and bonus for the fiscal
year ended July 26, 2003 and July 27, 2002 were in excess of $100,000.

General Option Information A summary of option activity
follows (in millions, except per-share amounts). The Company has, in connection with the
acquisitions of various companies, assumed the stock option plans of each acquired company.
During fiscal 2003, a total of approximately 4 million shares of the Company's common stock
has been reserved for issuance under the assumed plans and the related options are included in
the following table.

The following table summarizes significant ranges of outstanding and exercisable options as of
July 26, 2003 (in millions, except number of years and per-share amounts):

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value
based on Cisco's closing stock price of $19.08 as of July 25, 2003, that would have been received
by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total
number of in-the-money options exercisable as of July 26, 2003 was 382 million options. As of
July 27, 2002, 634 million outstanding options were exercisable and the weighted average
exercise price was $23.51.
The following table presents the option exercises for the year ended July 26, 2003 and option
values as of that date for the Named Executive Officers (in millions):

Pro forma Information The Company is required under
SFAS 123 to disclose pro forma information regarding option grants made to its employees based
on specified valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation charges. The pro forma
information is as follows (in millions, except per-share amounts):

The value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded
options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option pricing
models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price
volatility and expected life. The Company uses projected data for expected volatility and
expected life of its stock options based upon historical and other economic data trended into
future years. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
can materially affect the estimate, in management's opinion, the existing valuation models do
not provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options. Under
the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted-average estimated values of employee stock
options granted during fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 were $5.67, $8.60, and $13.31, respectively.
The value of shares of common stock relating to the Purchase Plans included in compensation
expense was not material.
Employee 401(k) Plans
The Company sponsors the Cisco Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") to provide
retirement benefits for its employees. As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code, the Plan provides tax-deferred salary deductions for eligible employees. The Company also
has other 401(k) plans that it sponsors. These plans arose from acquisitions of other companies
and are not material to the Company on either an individual or aggregate basis.
Employees can contribute from 1% to 25% of their annual compensation to the Plan. Employee
contributions are limited to a maximum annual amount as set periodically by the Internal Revenue
Service. Through December 31, 2002, the Company matched employee contributions dollar for dollar
up to a maximum of $1,500 per person per year. Effective January 1, 2003, the new matching
structure is 50% of the first 6% of eligible earnings that are contributed by employees.
Therefore, the maximum matching contribution that the Company may allocate to each participant's
account will not exceed $6,000 for the 2003 calendar year due to the $200,000 annual limit on
eligible earnings imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. All matching contributions vest
immediately. The Company's matching contributions to the Plan totaled $40 million, $35 million,
and $45 million in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Effective January 1, 2003,
employees who meet the age requirements and reach the Plan contribution limits can make a
catch-up contribution not to exceed $2,000 for the 2003 calendar year, a limit set by the
Internal Revenue Service. The catch-up contributions are not eligible for matching contributions.
In addition, the Plan provides for discretionary profit sharing contributions as determined
by the Board of Directors. Such contributions to the Plan are allocated among eligible participants
in the proportion of their salaries to the total salaries of all participants. There were no
discretionary profit sharing contributions made in fiscal 2003, 2002, or 2001. In fiscal 2002,
the Plan provided for a one-time discretionary matching contribution of $11 million, based on
$500 per eligible employee.
11. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consisted of the following (in millions):

The Company paid income taxes of $1.4 billion, $909 million, and $48 million in fiscal 2003, 2002,
and 2001, respectively. Income (loss) before provision for income taxes consisted of the following
(in millions):

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate
and the provision for income taxes consisted of the following:

U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes were not provided for on a cumulative total of $2.5
billion of undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest
these earnings indefinitely in operations outside the United States. The components of the deferred
tax assets (liabilities) are as follows (in millions):

Reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2002 balances for certain components of deferred tax
assets in order to conform to the current year presentation.
The following table presents the breakdown between current and non-current net deferred tax assets
(in millions):

The non-current portion of the deferred tax assets is included in other assets.
At July 29, 2000, the Company provided a valuation allowance on certain of its deferred tax assets
because of uncertainty regarding their realizability due to expectation of future employee stock
option exercises. As of July 28, 2001, the Company had removed the valuation allowance because it
believed it was more likely than not that all deferred tax assets would be realized in the foreseeable
future and was reflected as a credit to shareholders' equity.
As of July 26, 2003, the Company's federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for income tax
purposes were $68 million and $22 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal net operating
loss carryforwards will begin to expire in fiscal 2010 and the state net operating loss carryforwards
will begin to expire in fiscal 2005. As of July 26, 2003, the Company's federal and state tax credit
carryforwards for income tax purposes were $86 million and $232 million, respectively. If not utilized,
the federal tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire in fiscal 2007 and state tax credit
carryforwards will begin to expire in fiscal 2005.
The Company's income taxes payable for federal, state, and foreign purposes have been reduced, and the
deferred tax assets increased, by the tax benefits associated with dispositions of employee stock
options. The Company receives an income tax benefit calculated as the difference between the fair
market value of the stock issued at the time of exercise and the option price, tax effected. These
benefits were credited directly to shareholders' equity and amounted to $132 million, $61 million,
and $1.8 billion for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Benefits reducing taxes payable
amounted to $132 million, $61 million, and $1.4 billion for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.
Benefits increasing gross deferred tax assets amounted to $358 million in fiscal 2001.
The Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal years ended July 25, 1998 through July 28, 2001
are under examination and the Internal Revenue Service has proposed certain adjustments. Management
believes that adequate amounts have been reserved for any adjustments that may ultimately result
from these examinations.
12. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company's operations involve the design, development, manufacturing, marketing and technical
support of networking and communications products and services. Cisco products include routers,
switches, access, and other networking equipment. These products, primarily integrated by Cisco
IOS Software, link geographically dispersed LANs and WANs.
The Company conducts business globally and is managed geographically. The Company's management
relies on an internal management system that provides sales and standard cost information by
geographic theater. Sales are attributed to a theater based on the ordering location of the
customer. The Company's management makes financial decisions and allocates resources based on
the information it receives from this internal management system. The Company does not allocate
research and development, sales and marketing, or general and administrative expenses to its
geographic theaters in this internal management system, as management does not use the information
to measure the performance of the operating segments. Management does not believe that allocating
these expenses is significant in evaluating a geographic theater's performance. Based on established
criteria, the Company has four reportable segments: the Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific, and Japan.
Summarized financial information by theater for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, as taken from the
internal management system previously discussed, is as follows (in millions):

The Company has reclassified net sales for each geographic theater for fiscal 2002 and 2001 to conform
to the current year's presentation, which reflects the breakdown of service revenue for EMEA, Asia
Pacific, and Japan theaters, all of which were previously included in the Americas theater.
The Americas theater included non-U.S. net sales of $888 million, $988 million, and $1.1 billion for
fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The following table presents net sales for groups of similar
products and services (in millions):

The Company has reclassified net sales for groups of similar products in fiscal 2002 and 2001 to conform
to the current year's presentation. The reclassification was primarily related to net sales of Advanced
Technology products, which were previously included in the "Routers" product category and are
now included in the "Other" product category in the table above. The reclassification had an
impact of less than 1% on each product category in proportion to total product revenue.
The majority of the Company's assets as of July 26, 2003 and July 27, 2002 were attributable to its U.S.
operations. In fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's
net sales.
Property and equipment information is based on the physical location of the assets. The following table
presents property and equipment information for geographic areas (in millions):

13. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in millions,
except per-share amounts):

Dilutive potential common shares consist of employee stock options and restricted common stock. The
weighted-average dilutive potential common shares, which were antidilutive for fiscal 2001, amounted
to 348 million shares. Employee stock options to purchase approximately 838 million, 712 million,
and 426 million shares in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively, were outstanding, but were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the stock
options was greater than the average share price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect
would have been antidilutive.
