Net income attributable to Visa Inc.	$	2,353

⁽¹⁾	Earnings per share calculated based on whole numbers, not rounded numbers.

⁽²⁾

The computation of weighted-average dilutive shares outstanding included the effect of 3 million dilutive shares of outstanding stock awards for fiscal 2011, and 2 million for fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The computation excluded stock options to purchase approximately $2 million, 3 million and less than 1 million shares of common stock for fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

⁽³⁾

Net income attributable to Visa Inc. is allocated to each class of common stock on an as-converted basis. The weighted average numbers of shares of as-converted class B common stock used in the income allocation were 123 million, 141 million and 157 million for fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
