3 PART I Item 1. Business The Registrant, incorporated in December 1925, serves business, professional and educational markets around the world with information products and services. Key markets include finance, business, education, construction, medical and health, aerospace and defense. As a multimedia publishing and information company, the Registrant employs a broad range of media, including books, magazines, newsletters, software, on-line data services, CD-ROMs, facsimile and television broadcasting. Most of the Registrant's products and services face substantial competition from a variety of sources. The Registrant's 16,761 employees are located worldwide. They perform the vital functions of analyzing the nature of changing demands for information and of channeling the resources necessary to fill those demands. By virtue of the numerous copyrights and licensing, trade, and other agreements, which are essential to such a business, the Registrant is able to collect, compile, and disseminate this information. Most book manufacturing and magazine printing is handled through a number of independent contractors. The Registrant's principal raw material is paper, and the Registrant has assured sources of supply, at competitive prices, adequate for its business needs. Descriptions of the company's principal products, broad services and markets, and significant achievements are hereby incorporated by reference from Exhibit (13), pages 6 through 23, containing textual material of the Registrant's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders. Information as to Operating Segments The relative contribution of the operating segments of the Registrant and its subsidiaries to operating revenue, operating profit, long-lived assets and geographic information for the three years ended December 31, 2000 at the end of each year, are included in Exhibit (13), on pages 46 and 47 in the Registrant's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders and is hereby incorporated by reference. 1 4 Item 2. Properties The Registrant leases office facilities at 314 locations: 230 are in the United States. In addition, the Registrant owns real property at 15 locations: 12 are in the United States. The principal facilities of the Registrant are as follows:

Legal Proceedings While the Registrant and its subsidiaries are defendants in numerous legal proceedings in the United States and abroad, neither the Registrant nor its subsidiaries are a party to, nor are any of their properties subject to, any known material pending legal proceedings which Registrant believes will result in a material adverse effect on its financial statements or business operations.
