During fiscal 2001, the U.S. Tax Court issued an adverse ruling which is being appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals for taxes assessed in 1990 and 1991. Income taxes, except for 1990 and 1991 assessments, have been settled with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for all years through 1994. The IRS is examining the Companys 1995 and 1996 U.S. income tax returns. Management believes any adjustments which may be required will not be material to the financial statements. Income taxes paid were $874 million in 1999, $800 million in 2000, and $1.3 billion in 2001.
