2004 Total Revenue Growth

	Third Quarter		Year to Date
	$	%	$	%
Prior Period Revenue	$2,028.6		$6,115.4
Foreign Exchange (FX) Impact(a)	82.0	4.0%	287.1	4.7%
Acquisition Revenue(b)	37.8	1.9%	144.7	2.4%
Organic Revenue(c)	170.6	8.4%	410.9	6.7%
Current Period Revenue	$2,319.0	14.3%	$6,958.1	13.8%

(a) To calculate the FX impact, we first convert the current period’s local currency revenue using the average exchange rates from the equivalent prior period to arrive at constant currency revenue. The FX impact equals the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. dollars and the current period revenue in constant currency.

(b) Acquisition revenue is the aggregate of the applicable prior period revenue of the acquired businesses. Netted against this number is the revenue of any business included in the prior period reported revenue that was disposed of subsequent to the prior period.

(c) Organic revenue is calculated by subtracting both the acquisition revenue and the FX impact from total revenue growth.

Latest twelve month figures for 2003 are restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS 123 – “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

(b) The underlying $500 million 364 Day Credit facility expires 5/23/05 plus one-year term out at our option.

(c) The change in the outstanding balance results from changes in the Euro to U.S. dollar currency exchange rate. The Euro balance outstanding as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 was (euro)152.4.

(a) “Traditional Return on Equity” is Net Income for the given period divided by the shareholders’ equity at the end of the prior period.

In connection with our adoption on January 1, 2004 of SFAS 123 - “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment for FASB Statement No.123,” utilizing the retroactive restatement method, stock-based compensation costs have been expensed in the current period and the results for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 and the LTM period have been restated as if we had used the fair value method to account for employee stock-based compensation beginning January 1, 2002.

Potential Impact of EITF 04-8
Assuming Conversion of the Convertible Notes Due 2031 and 2033^(a)

	For the year ended		9/’04 YTD
	2002	2003
Net Income used for GAAP diluted EPS calculation, as reported	$571.4	$632.1	$487.9
Proforma Addbacks under the “if converted” method:
Interest expense on Convertible Debt – net of tax	1.6	15.3	3.8
Book tax cost of interest expense disallowance on     foreign tax credits	5.0	11.4	8.5
Diluted Net Income, proforma	$578.0	$658.8	$500.2
Weighted Average Shares, diluted, as reported	186.2	187.6	187.5
Additional shares assumed to be outstanding under the “if converted” method	7.8	11.1	13.5
Weighted Average Shares, diluted, proforma	194.0	198.7	201.0
Diluted EPS – GAAP, as reported	$3.07	$3.37	$2.60
Diluted EPS – proforma	2.98	3.32	2.49
Percentage decrease in Diluted EPS – proforma	2.9%	1.5%	4.2%

Note (a): Proforma Diluted EPS is calculated in accordance with the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) with regard to Issue 04-8 – Accounting Issues Related to Certain Features of Contingently Convertible Debt and the Effect on Diluted Earnings per Share. Consistent with the consensus, this proforma calculation applies the “if converted” method set forth in SFAS 128 to our convertible notes due in 2031 and 2033 when calculating Diluted EPS.

We did not include our notes due in 2032 in this calculation because we amended these notes in August 2004. The EITF 04-8 consensus is effective beginning with our December 31, 2004 financial statements and would require that we restate prior periods for comparability if the notes had not been amended prior to December 31, 2004. The amendment made the notes compliant with EITF 90-19 “Instrument C” treatment which does not result in additional dilution to our Diluted EPS because our weighted average share price was less than the conversion price of the notes for the periods set forth above, and in accordance with EITF 04-8, it is assumed that the amendment occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.

On October 21, 2004, we initiated a consent offer to noteholders of our 2033 notes to amend the indenture under which the notes were issued. If accepted, the amendment will make the notes compliant with EITF 90-19 “Instrument C” treatment which does not result in additional dilution to our Diluted EPS because our weighted average share price was less than the conversion price of the notes for the periods set forth above, and in accordance with EITF 04-8, it is assumed that the amendment occurred at the beginning of the first period presented. See page 11 for an estimate of the impact if this consent offer is accepted.

The foregoing has been provided for illustrative purposes only. We cannot predict whether our 2033 notes will be amended, or what other actions, if any, we may take in respect thereof.

If accepted, the amendment will make the notes compliant with EITF 90-19 “Instrument C” treatment which does not result in additional dilution to our Diluted EPS because our weighted average share price was less than the conversion price of the notes for the periods set forth above, and in accordance with EITF 04-8, it is assumed that the amendment occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.
