BASIC AND DILUTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE COMMON SHARES

The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average common shares for fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows (amounts in millions):

	Fiscal Year Ended
	January 29, 2012	January 30, 2011	January 31, 2010
Weighted average common shares	1,562	1,648	1,683
Effect of potentially dilutive securities:
Stock Plans	8	10	9
Diluted weighted average common shares	1,570	1,658	1,692

Stock plans consist of shares granted under the Company’s employee stock plans as described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Options to purchase 23 million, 39 million and 48 million shares of common stock at January 29, 2012, January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, respectively, were excluded from the computation of Diluted Earnings per Share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
