(1)	Cash consists of bank deposits. Carrying amounts approximate fair value.


(2)	Cash equivalents consist of held-to-maturity time deposits with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The carrying amounts of these time deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.


(3)	Marketable securities, current consist of held-to-maturity time deposits with original maturities greater than three months that will mature within one year. The carrying amounts of these time deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Amortized cost is not materially different from the fair value.


(4)	Notes receivable are carried at net realizable value which approximates fair value. Factors considered by the company in determining the fair value include the credit worthiness of the borrower, current interest rates, the term of the note and any collateral pledged as security. Notes receivable are periodically assessed for impairment.


(5)	The fair value of the 1.750% Senior Notes, 3.5% Senior Notes and 4.250% Senior Notes was estimated based on quoted market prices for similar issues.


(6)	Other borrowings primarily represent bank loans and other financing arrangements which mature within one year. The carrying amount of borrowings under these arrangements approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity.
